Can't people just leave Justin Bieber alone?

Before I go on with this, I'd like to say that I'm in no way a fan of Justin Bieber (although I like two of his songs).

Now, everytime I surf the Net,there are stories that involves Justin Bieber that are almost always published in a negative way. Perhaps it is people's nature to hate someone so famous and among the reasons are as follows:-

  • his age
  • his un-pubertized vocal
  • his 'emo' hair-do
  • as a tool used by 'The Man' to target the vulnurable (esp. tween girls)
  • dating Selena Gomez
Now let's break it down.

AGE
Let's face it. Age is just a number. It really doesn't mean anything, besides indicating how long one has been on this planet. But it seems that some people are intimidated by Bieber who happens to be both SUCCESSFUL & YOUNGER than them. The only way these people could heal some of the ego wounds is to say that he's too young to be successful, he's not mature enough to handle fame, etc. While such allegations could be true, one thing remains - he's an ARTIST & he's freakin' 17 YRS OLD!!!!!!! So, better not care about Justin Bieber if you have issues with him.

VOCAL
 Alright, he does sound like a girl. But should that be the excuse to not like at least one of his songs? Come on, it takes real manly-courage for me to admit I like 2 of his songs. Besides, he has not reached puberty yet. Just give him a break. Maybe in a few years, we could see a grown-up Justin Bieber with a moustache, a great body and perhaps, some killer moves. At least, he can play guitar.

HAIR-DO
First, the age. Then, the girly vocal. Now, the hair? Seriously, how many more cheap points do you want to give to this guy? Jeezzzhhhhh..............................

THE MAN'S TOOL FOR TOTAL DOMINATION
Sooo............ I guess the haters are running out of points, they resort to this excuse. Well, when was the last time people use this to justify their hatred for some famous stars? It's getting old.  It's like saying they hate hot n spicy cos' it's from KFC. Can't they come up with better reasons than this?

NOW THEY'RE TARGETING SELENA GOMEZ?
As if JB alone isn't enough,  now they're concentrating their hatred on Selena Gomez? C'mon, what now? You want JB to sing a song, telling his fans to leave Selena alone, just as Selina have to write a song to her haters, basically a very nice way of saying 'F*** You!'. Also, for all the female fans, too bad someone 'owned' Justin now. Get over it. Move on....

Anyway, this post applies to not only Justin Bieber, but also to other young artists as well. Just imagine, if you were them, would you like it when you have the paparazzi following you everywhere, taking pictures of you with or without you knowing, or maybe having difficulties finding time for some privacy, or even receiving hate mails for absurd reasons? How about having someone stalking you? I'm sure you don't want to appear on the media doing something silly, right?

So, the next time we see a celebrity nearby, please be considerate enough to let them have their own time and don't stalk them, including taking pictures, unless they're in a good mood for some autographs & picture-taking sessions.

Until then..........
