I wonder now if Miley Cyrus is popular because she puts out good songs or for what she does in the tabloids.

I don't think I've ever even heard one JB song but hey he's doing his thing and getting paid, nothing wrong with that. There is so much hatred in this country for success....
Nsync- Boy band Suck

Poison- Big hair Suck

Osmonds- Mormon Suck

Brittany- Slut Suck

Hannah Montana- Bubble gum Suck

Mozart- Did not suck.

Do you see the pattern there?

Yea, no shit man. The Beatles had no competition and 3 channels of TV...so when they made it to the small screen everyone in America had no choice but to watch.

Its a little different now.

I read the first setence, and then I was like, 'Wait, is he really comparing the Beatles to Justin Bieber.

But then you redeemed yourself with the next line.

Please, dont put the greatest band ever in the same category as a talentless pop star.

Aw dude, you must be "trolling"... Go back and listen to a few of the "greatest band ever" earlier albums and try and tell me that "I wanna hold your hand" has any more social relevance than "Tik Tok" by Keisha. The Beatles were packaged and sold just like JB, Elvis, the Backstreet Boys, New Edition, etc. That's the music industry now and that was the music industry then. Nothing has really changed except your perspective.

Now if you'd like to argue that some of their later work was relevant, I'd probably agree with you. Of course, then you'd have to concede that the possibility exists that JB could still write extraordinary music in the future, once he has established himself. Heck, maybe he'll spend some time with the Dali Lama....

Justin beiber doesn't write music. He is just a singing puppet for the music label that created him.

Anyways...

A LOT of people write their own music. They just aren't on MTV. They are in your local pub, on the internet, or other venues. That's the only music I listen to anymore. Music that has nothing to do with the bullshit music "industry"

Think one of those instruments is the skin flute?
