Remember there was a time where the Jonas brothers were everywhere, well it seems that Justin Beiber is taking their spot. i have nothing against justin bieber, i like some of his songs. But when did he explode and why does everybody like him so much.

I agree.. They call it 'The Bieber Fever', I do like some of his songs, but am not that huge of a fan..

"One time," and "Somebody to love" are good songs

But the kids is like 12 and he has all these groupies... I just dont get it lol

He's 16 lol, and true he does seem like the new Jonas Brothers. But I personally think he's reached his highest point in fame and will now slowly decrease in popularity.

Out of his songs, most are okay but none are really that great IMO, the best being Somebody to Love.

I heard he was doing a new movie, hes going to be on CSI, he knows alot of celebs just look at his videos. The kid is blowing up... i dont think he reached his peak yet, but hes definately up there.

Oh I heard about the other things, but I didnt know he was doing a movie. Is it the biography thing for him thats coming out, or is that totally different? =S

But if he wants to stay popular he's definately gonna need a new look soon. The skater look has been around for a while and seems to be dying down in popularity now.

While I have not really listened to his music, this seems to be the problem with artists these days, they go up and up. Then they disappear and the next one comes along. There does not seem to be as much longivity in the careers of musicians these days.

I love the Key of Awesome... and that video... Perfect parody... just right on the money.

That is, "musicians" that do not really have talent and cannot truly sing very well do not have any longevity in the world of music. (In most cases, that is. *waves white flag!!*)

May I point to Exhibit A?
Coldplay. Extremely popular in the late 90's... extremely popular now. Why? Because they actually have talent (I've seen it with my own eyes.)

Exhibit B:
Currently taking up residence in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: U2. Popular now, popular in the 1980's. Why? Talent!


Now, I know that I'm only pointing to alternative bands, but these are just two examples. Perhaps I'm a bit partial. Oh... let's take another genre...hip/hop... Mary J. Blige! She's been on the scene since around 2001 and she is still hugely popular today. :) (If you ever watch her sing live, you will see exactly why.) I'm sure all of you can come up with at least two or three artists you enjoy as well that have been popular for quite some time.


You're right though, Marty. Lately, (particularly lately), it seems "popular" artists come and go. A year from now, many of these songs deemed popular today will not even be played at small-school proms....



Now... about that Bieber kid...
Where to begin?
No, it's not worth it. Let's just say, I'm tired of hearing him whenever my younger sibling's friends come over with their iPods.... so, so tired of hearing it...

We can only hope so.

I hate to say this, but i dont see Bieber going anywhere for a while. He's to hot of a topic right now. With his "cute" childish looks, his decent music, and millions of groupies. I see him being in the game for a long time. But i come with gifts lol

Yo I thought the exactsame thing! In Burnin Up Rob adresses the brothers as JB, so I've been using that term for Jonas... then I see "JB" everywhere and think of Jonas, and then I remeber HIM, that HIM I'm getting sick of. I liked him at first and his songs are fine, I don't hate him or anything, but all these obsessive fans and merchandise are making me frustrated. HE'S EXCEEDED HANNH MONTANA'S INFLUENCE ON KIDS FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!
