Why Justin Bieber Was Booed At The Billboard Awards (Video)


Pop singer Justin Bieber received a lesson yesterday in how fickle the music industry can be when he was loudly booed at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, after being presented with the Milestone Award. The diminutive 19-year-old star stated, "I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously." The irony is, had Bieber not been a teen pop star, with his musical abilities, such as playing guitar and the drums, critics would take him more seriously for his artistry.

However, traditionally, with the way the music history and the industry has worked, teen pop stars, including boybands, are rarely commended for artistry and usually have a short career span. The New Kids On The Block were a big teen pop sensation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, selling even more records that Bieber has today, but their fame ended overnight, due to their demographic moving on to the next trend.

For a teen pop star to enter adulthood with a successful career embraced by the public and critics alike, it takes a really savvy manager with an understanding of music history (it rarely happens). Certain career moves must be avoided, thinking of the long run as opposed to short term gains.

Justin Bieber Gets A New Punk Rock Haircut But...

But Does It Suit Him


Justin Bieber

Pop singer Justin Bieber has gotten another new haircut and this time he went punk rock. However, his last haircut suited him more, as it had a more grown up look to it. Sometimes when people go through difficulties, they change their hair for a fresh start. Bieber could certainly use one with the legal troubles facing him for alleged assault. New haircut, new man? Hopefully.

Justin Bieber Has Dethroned Justin Timberlake As The Prince Of Pop Due To New Single Flop


Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake's new track "Suit And Tie" featuring rapper Jay-Z, apart of his big comeback, is flopping on the charts. Timberlake, 32, has been away from the music scene for a while and has been replaced. The poor performance of his comeback single is also bad news for Timberlake, as the flop means his 18-year-old counterpart, pop star, Justin Bieber, has officially dethroned him, just like the Judiciary Report hinted six-months ago, stating Bieber has taken over to such an extent (yea, stirring the proverbial doo-doo). Timberlake has not bee able to catch up with the release of his new music this month.


Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake

Ironically, Bieber used Timberlake's style and music to do so, as his current album Believe sounds an awful lot like Timberlake's album "Justified." Bieber continues to follow Timberlake's blueprint, which is a rip off of the teen star's mentor Usher, who jacked his style from Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson.

It doesn't appear Timberlake is too fond of Bieber, as he dissed him on the television show "Saturday Night Live." Ironically, Bieber is getting the last laugh, for the moment that is, as the music industry is full of ups and downs, so one often never knows.

Justin Bieber Caught Smoking Marijuana Joint In A Hotel Room With A Woman Present (Photos)

 TMZ Unmasks A "Clean Cut" Teen Pop Culture "Idol" Via Justin Bieber's Fall From Grace


Justin "Bob Marley"Bieber smoking marijuana joint pictured in his left hand

Pictures hit the internet last night featuring formerly squeaky clean pop star Justin "Rasta" Bieber, smoking a marijuana joint in a hotel at a party in Newport Beach, California. TMZ is also reporting a girl spent the night with Bieber in the hotel room, who is not Selena Gomez. Bieber's camp has gone into damage control mode, but the photos are pretty striking. Bieber is on the same path many former Hollywood child stars have taken, going from being squeaky clean to drugs, alcohol and promiscuous sex. 


 Justin Marley

Ironically, paparazzo Chris Guerra, who was killed two days ago by a passing car when police told him to step away from a Ferrari belonging to the singer, was adamant on the day of his death that he saw Bieber smoking marijuana in the sports car. It was reported Guerra relayed this information to a friend over the phone and was struck and killed by a car hours later. Bieber's camp accused Guerra of stalking and harassing the pop star. Apparently, Guerra saw too much, hence the complaints against him and waiting for that money shot, was hit and killed by a car.


Justin Bieber gets the giggles

Bieber's plate is full at this time, as Guerra's death, which is currently not the focus of a criminal investigation, could bring a lawsuit. The singer also had a huge fight with his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, who dumped him at New Years and is refusing to speak to the press about the problems surrounding the couple. He is also still trying to hook up again with Victoria Secret model Barbara Palvin.


Justin Bieber and fast living boxer Floyd Mayweather 

Meanwhile, Bieber's fans brought the New Year in with a grin learning the couple broke up again (LOL). Now they will be sad to learn Bieber has been beaming up and had a chick present in the hotel room. Not the best way to start the New Year. It's time for Mama Bieber to have a talk with her boy. Considering marijuana is a gateway drug and Bieber's family has extensive addiction issues, this is dangerous.

Has Justin Bieber Succeeded In Toughening Up His Image To Appeal To A More Mature Audience


Justin Bieber

Teen pop singer, Justin Bieber, has been getting himself into very adult situations this year, from drinking to speeding on public highways and getting pulled over by the police. Some believe it is Bieber's way of trying to toughen up his bubblegum image. 

But has it worked? No. Bieber's audience remains teen and preteen girl, as women on the whole still view him as a child and most males do not buy his music. Publicized reports also indicate Bieber's sales have gone down with his new CD "Believe."

Kim Kardashian Has A Krazy Komic Book Hitting The Shelves That Boasts About Her Life



Kim Kardashian

Superficial, dingbat reality star, Kim Kardashian, 31, has a comic book coming out following her vapid life. What a waste. I’m sick of these pop culture stars with comic books, as it is degrading and devaluing the genre, which is usually entertaining with interesting story telling.

Reality stars and pop singers having comic books made about them is cluttering the genre with foolishness that will not stand the test of time, as true pieces do. These aren't real comics. This is not what comic books were meant for, but vanity is prevailing over common sense. Who is buying this stuff anyway.

Has Justin Bieber’s Second Album Done As Well As His First CD


Justin Bieber

Has pop star Justin Bieber plateau in his career? Has his second CD "Believe" done as well as the first "My World." Sales of Believe have evened off and on its current trajectory is not matching the success of his debut CD. Is Bieber fever waning? Could be.

Bieber's fanbase know so much about him at this point in time and now that he is an adult, some of his younger audience have switched their focus to other things. That’s the nature of the teen pop music business. His second album is considered a success, but where his career goes from this point is up in the air.

Justin Bieber's New Rolling Stone Interview Tries To Cast Him As Manly And Rebellious Like James Dean


Justin Bieber covers Rolling Stone magazine 

18-year-old pop singer Justin Bieber has done the standard former child star round of interviews, proclaiming he is no longer a child. Rolling Stone magazine is trying to paint him as James Dean, but Bieber is more like Jimmy Dean. Bieber's label is trying to show he is all grown up and "manly" but he is still quite young and has much to learn.

Bieber's new image as a  grown up tough guy isn't computing. He still looks younger than his years and pulls pranks associated with youth. His sophomore album "Believe" has done moderately well on the charts, but claims of copying 30-year-old pop star, Justin Timberlake, who musically mimics his mentor, Usher, continue to dog the effort.

Justin Bieber And Katy Perry's Proactiv Ads Banned In Britain For False Advertising


Justin Bieber and Katy Perry in Proactiv ad. Oddly enough, Bieber is the prettier of the two (LOL).

Commercials by Proactiv skincare that feature pop stars, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, have been banned in Britain as false and misleading. British consumer agency the Advertising Standards Authority stated, "We noted the ads were targeted at a UK audience and that the UK Proactiv products had a different active ingredient to the U.S. version. In that context, we therefore considered the claims of continued use had not been substantiated. We concluded that the ads were misleading. The ads must not appear again in their current form."

I've never tried Proactiv, as I don't have acne (I do have allergies and hypoallergenic skin, though). Some state Proactiv works, but others say no. Some celebrities that claim to use Proactiv still have noticeably blemished skin. I have read many consumer comments on the product and a general theme is when you stop using Proactiv, one's skin problems come back with a vengeance.

Justin Bieber To Turn His Attention To Acting

The Film World Awaits...


Justin Bieber

With a new number one album under his belt via the CD "Believe" pop singer Justin Bieber, 18, is happy with his career, even though the CD sold 60,000 copies less than predicted by industry experts. Bieber is now turning his attention to the acting world. Previously, Bieber guest starred on an episode of the CBS television show "CSI." He is now searching for the right script to make his debut in a motion picture starring role. 


Justin Bieber

Carrying a film is more difficult than appearing on a television show. The subsequent success or failure of the project will be laid at Bieber's feet. His mentor, singer Usher, also made appearances in a few films, but his movie career never quite got off the ground.

Is There A Rivalry Between Usher And His Protege Justin Bieber

 

 Justin Bieber

Is there a rivalry between 18-year-old pop star Justin Bieber and his mentor, Usher, 34. Much like Bieber, Usher was also a child star, whose career was launched at age 15, making him a star. Usher signed Bieber to a deal on his subsidiary label and began making him over into Usher jr. with a dose of rival Justin Timberlake, who is bitter about the whole thing.  


Usher Raymond

The two have sold millions of records, with Usher maintaining a comfortable lead in the sales department. However, Bieber has sold many singles, thanks to digital sales from downloading outlets such as iTunes. Recently, Usher began living vicariously through Bieber in trying to recapture his youth. Therefore, is there a competition between the two or any jealousy. Does Usher want to pull Bieber's hair out and does Bieber want slap Usher across the face using one of Michael Jackson's old sequined gloves, in a tender and delicate, yet angry way.

Justin Bieber Has Finally Transformed Into The King Of Pop Michel Jackson



Justin Bieber (Photo Credit: Big Pictures Photo)

Pop singer Justin Bieber, who strives to be the new king of pop, since the passing of Michael Jackson in 2009, from a pharmaceutical drug overdose, just moved one step closer to his goal. The Bieber was seen wearing a surgical mask in public, an item favored by Jackson.

Michael Jackson

He is even sampling Jackson's music on his new album "Believe." Will Bieber get a Geri Curl next? (I sure hope so LOL). How about a sequined glove? Will he buy his own monkey or perhaps dangle a baby from a hotel balcony?" As the slogan goes, "Inquiring minds want to know."

Justin Bieber Receives His High School Diploma

 Teen Pop Star Is A High School Graduate


Justin Bieber 

After years of tutoring whilst touring on the road, 18-year-old pop star, Justin Bieber, has received his high school diploma. To commemorate the monumental occasion, the Judiciary Report would like to congratulate the Bieber, because if this singing thing falls through, he can easily earn minimum wage with his diploma (kidding).

Justin Bieber Confirms His New Song About Mariah Yeater Is His Billie Jean


Justin Bieber
 
On April 27, 2012 the Judiciary Report published the article Justin Bieber Pulls A Michael Jackson Writing His Own "Billie Jean" For New Album. A week later the Bieber confirmed the Judiciary Report's claims the song in question on his forthcoming new CD is his "Billie Jean."

Bieber also danced around the subject of how he chose the video girl for the clip "Boyfriend." He was asked "How did you pick the girl in it?" to which Bieber responded, "They had two girls based on the pictures and we picked the one who looked best on camera. It was kind of a group thing. She was like really beautiful but on camera it gave this cool vibe. She looked like Pocahontas."


Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Yea right, he just said that so his girlfriend Selena Gomez wouldn't get mad and smack him up. Did you also notice the "Pocahontas" reference Bieber made, which mirrors his interracial relationship with Gomez (*making mocking kissing noises*).

Lastly, Bieber discussed an elevator game he plays with his bodyguard Kenny that should be a point of worry for his parents. Bieber revealed, "In an elevator. Kenny and all us have this game where we just hit each other in the balls. It’s just funny." If you want to have any little Biebers in the future, I suggest you stop doing that or there will be no MexiCanadian babies with Gomez.


Justin Bieber

Side Bar: Bieber could have used another argument in his defense during the brief paternity case. He could have stated the child is not his, because the baby did not wear his pants sagging below his butt. Case closed. Once again Bieber, pull those pants up and stop showing your little butt. That goes for all of you out there doing that.

Justin Bieber: Song About Mariah Yeater Is Like My ‘Billie Jean’ 
 
10.17 PM EDT 05.03.2012 - Justin Bieber revealed more details about the song he wrote after falsely being accused by Mariah Yeater of fathering her child! Justin Bieber has always felt a connection to the late Michael Jackson, but we doubt he ever expected it to be like this one! The 18-year-old pop star was accused by a girl named Mariah Yeater of fathering her child — something that was totally untrue and he’s now singing about on his upcoming album, Believe.

“The baby situation — which was totally not true, by the way — I wrote a song about that,” Justin said during an interview with MTV May 3. “It’s on there. It’s like my ‘Billie Jean.’ At the end of the day, I’m human. I go through all the problems you go through.”...

*What do you think of “Boyfriend”?
I’m happy. I mean, I kind of switched it up from all the teasers. I wanted to do something that was a little more mature. My fans are all growing with me. It was something more mature and that all my fans would like.

*How did you pick the girl in it?
They had two girls based on the pictures and we picked the one who looked best on camera. It was kind of a group thing. She was like really beautiful but on camera it gave this cool vibe. She looked like Pocahantas... 

*Tell us about your elevator game.
In an elevator. Kenny and all us have this game where we just hit each other in the balls. It’s just funny...

Justin Bieber Does Sound Like Justin Timberlake On The Song "Boyfriend" But He Doesn't Mind



Justin Bieber said he does not mind people thinking he sounds like Timberlake, but he does not think there are similarities in their voices. Um, you sound like him on that song.

There have been claims online that pop singer, Justin Bieber, 18 sounds like fellow popster, Justin Timberlake, 30, on his new song "Boyfriend." I heard the song yesterday and have to agree, he does sound like Timberlake, who dissed him on the television show "Saturday Night Live" (Justin Timberlake Slams Justin Bieber: Put A Wig On A Chipmunk And Train Him To Act Like A Black Man).


Justin Timberlake

It's funny, as R&B singer, Usher, who is Bieber's mentor, has official replaced Timberlake with Bieber, much to the former's annoyance. Was this Usher's revenge, for Timberlake taking his crown several years ago. However, it's indisputable at this point that Bieber has become the bigger music star.
    
Side Bar: On the song "Boyfriend" is the Bieber really singing about eating "Fondue." How cheesy (get the joke?).

Will Justin Bieber Become The King Of Pop With His Next Album

Justin Bieber

Will 18-year-old pop star, Justin Bieber, become the new king of pop with his next album, a post filled by Michael Jackson until he died of a drug overdose in 2009. Expect Bieber’s record company to go all out on his sophomore album, as anything less could mean the gravy train will stop and he will be relegated to one hit wonder status in the annals of music history.

But can Bieber become the new king of pop. Does he have what it takes. Will his audience stick with him into adulthood. Will he ever pull up his sagging pants. Will he have plastic surgery as Jackson did (trying to picture Bieber with Jackson's nose). These are the serious issues plaguing singers toady. Seriously, will Bieber be crowned king of the hill. Can he top Michael Jackson. Time will tell.

Will Justin Bieber Slam Justin Timberlake When He Hosts Saturday Night Live

Justin Bieber

While I do not watch the show "Saturday Night Live" I did see the clip online of NSYNC singer Justin Timberlake, 30, dissing pop star, Justin Bieber, 17. He made fun of Bieber describing him as, "Put a wig on a chipmunk and train it to act like a black man." Ouch!

Justin Timberlake

It is being reported Bieber will host "Saturday Night Live" shortly and perform music. Will the Bieber slam Timberlake in return for his terrible portrayal of him on the show last year. Will he mock the nasal Timberlake using his own music. That remains to be seen.

Girls Break Into Justin Bieber's Hotel Room Posing As Maids

Justin Bieber looking like he has heartburn

Two young women, one 16, the other 18, snuck into the hotel room of Canadian pop singer, Justin Bieber, 17. The duo posed as housekeeping, in a bid to get close to the Bieber. The girls were actually allowed in Bieber's room, as his management were unaware they were not actual hotel employees.

Poor thing looks like he wants to poo in this picture

When the girls began laughing and giggling, whilst cleaning up the room, Bieber's management became suspicious, told them off and ejected them from the room. Is it just me or was this not a storyline on the sitcom "The Nanny" where characters Fran and Val, snuck into the hotel room of a Russian singer, while posing as maids.

"The Nanny"

In closing, you guys need to let the Bieber sleep. Hombre is going on stage and making mistakes, such as forgetting to zip up Justin jr:

What he should be looking for is his zipper

Looks like he's found it

Has Justin Bieber Dethroned Justin Timberlake As The Prince Of Pop

Justin v. Justin

Justin Bieber

Just two short years ago, Justin Timberlake was the prince of pop. His name was all over the place and the music charts. However, since the arrival of singing sensation, Justin Bieber, Timberlake's popularity has plummeted in the pop genre. So, the question is, has Bieber dethroned Timberlake. I think the answer to that question would be a resounding yes.

Justin Timberlake

Ironically, Timberlake tried to sign Bieber to a recording contract, but R&B singer, Usher, beat him to the punch. Bieber has since sold 9,000,000 records and made over $100,000,000. Looks like Timberlake lost on both fronts.

Britney Spears' Atrocious Vocals On New Song


Britney Spears sporting a fishnet weave (Photo credit: Barcroft Media)

Sony Music artist, Britney Spears, has released a salacious, derivative new song entitled "Hold It Against Me" and her vocals are atrocious. She sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks...on helium. The track is genuinely grating and irritating. She simply cannot sing and this is what music has come to today.

The schizophrenic mother of two, continues to trot around Hollywood in odd clothes, looking like an unkempt zombie. Hardly what one would call a pop star look. However, determined to greedily make money at all costs, when she is clearly mentally ill and should not be on stage, Spears is propped up by assistants and a host of pharmaceutical meds eroding her health.
