    Haven't seen them but yes I hate them already.
    Lets not put a doctor on a commercial who knows what they're talking about, nor a specialist, nor the gorgeous people who donate their time and money for the cause, no, this celebrity knows what's going on. Lets pay her millions to raise awareness for cancer that's been around for thousands of years!

    It's fucking bullshit. Can you not see it?

    She was here...

    To be fair, I doubt Jennifer received any money for those adverts. She seems to have a genuine empathy for the cause.

    Even rich, beautiful and famous people have feelings. Perhaps a member of her immediate family or a friend had cancer. Maybe she's had a cancer scare herself.

    A 'celebrity' here died of cancer. She had been campaigning for more awareness upto her death. The uptake in screening was measurable.

    Sometime they do good.

    Don't be too hard on them...

    I do know some use it as PR, though.

    his hair/ terrible music/ the fact that so many spoied little, bratty girls like him sets my teeth on edge.... if an entire population of people i sort of hate, like something, i probably wont like that either.

    The Beatles and Rolling Stones actually had talent and wrote good songs.

    Duh.

    Its just a business, the whole thing. Coca cola is in your face all day. And so are Rihanna, Bieber and Jessica Alba etc. It costs money to do that. But they get money back. They really are just "brands" (and that phrase really annoys me).

    I even see it with my football club. Atleast they were a "club" before dickheads took over, and decided stuff like having the manager appear in gay clubs etc was "good for the brand"...

    Every time Aniston or that div Bieber are annoying most of us beyond belief, some people are making money out of it... While there's still a consumer base.

    with passing fancy, more so than like. i get what you're saying, but in the defense of the beatles, once they grew out of their pop-stage, they turned out some decent stuff.

    but i did say, i don't like his music, because.... its really not the type of music i would ever listen to, different frontman or not.

    Even the early stuff the Beatles put out was quite good... especially compared to the crap Bieber puts out. There is simply no comparison.

    It was more about the screaming delirious young fans. I think we can agree on the hair.

    His isn't particularly my taste. Neither are the Beatles or Rolling Stones (I can appreciate they could write a decent tune).

    Mr Rat: Writing or not writing your own material isn't a sign you are better or worse. Motown for instance. Those artists didn't write their own music. But now, for some, they are icons (even if some struggled to get there - The Supremes for e.g). It's just personal taste, imho. You are a bit of a music snob, imho.

    Ironically, imho, Paul seems like an old Justin Bieber.
    Can't sing that well. Music is bland. Everybody loves him.

    he's just the latest popular figure with limited discernable talent who people have decided to make the living symbol for the "music these days is rubbish, why can't we have music like it was in the past?" argument. also known as the "I'm either too lazy or lack the skills to look for new music for myself, despite the fact that it is now more readily available to me than at any other point in history" argument.

    he's just some kid who can probably sing pretty well who's been promoted up the fucking wazoo and is doing alright for himself, providing when he gets older he doesn't develop a crippling drug addiction, maybe he'll turn out okay. good luck to him with that, this sorta thing can screw you up.

    i wouldn't listen to him, but but i don't find his existence and promotion as irritating or invasive as a lot of people seem to.

    There were certainly some "marketing schemes" with the early Beatles - screaming girls I think was an idea of the record companies... which caught on.
    But 2 of the Beatles (3 at a push) did have undeniable talent.
    Likewise there was talent at Motown - singers or writers. Accepted, there was a bit of a "music factory" aspect to some of it.

    But Bieber and stuff is all about leverage on a naive, undiscerning customer base
    ie a crap product with gloss and money shouting down much better products. Which is what alienates people IMO.

    The industry wants people like Bieber because they are expendable and controllable. And that means they can make more money out of them, than real artists. So, the public is losing out, and not hearing real talent.

    their entire look was a record company idea, the identical suits, mop-tops and the synchronised bow at the end. before that they used toplay grimy r&b in grimy hamburg clubs wearing leather jackets and jeans. swearing smoking and eating during the act.

    Each generation of young screaming girls have their own music idols that just are that.. Some have more talent than others but each generation has had them.

    This too shall pass and he will either keep growing musically and retain his fans as they age or he will become KISS and have a permanent fan base of 14 year olds. :)

    Nothing wrong with him (other than being Canadian and admitting it to the world).

    did you ever hear about the theory that paul died? and that he was replaced for record sales? which is why paul is so inexperienced?

    I really don't give a shit about Beiber to be honest. However, on the rare occasion I have walked into a room when he's on the boob tube, my blood pressure increases dramatically and I want to choke punch the shit out of him and whoever discovered and promoted him.
