Is It So Wrong To Love Justin Bieber?

November 28, 2009 - 1:00 pm By Brianna-Fordham University

What....a dreamboat

Every once in a while (okay, maybe a little more often than that) I find myself adopting a new guilty pleasure. For a while I watched Hannah Montana on a regular basis, then came my Espresso truffle phase where I down one at Starbucks almost everyday under the pretense that if I finished it in 2 minutes the calories didn’t count. And I never seemed to shake the Spice Girls; if “Wannabe” comes on, an air mic, head bangs and some karaoke rapping will follow.

But recently a new contender has quickly moved to the top of guilty pleasure list.

Move over Miley Cyrus – Justin Beiber is my new tweenstar obsession. And boy am I feelin’ guilty right about now.

The kid is 15, but he looks about 12 and half. He’s got no body hair, he will still be mistaken for a little girl over the phone, and I honestly doubt the boy has even had an erection. But that hasn’t stopped him from releasing a CD full of romantic love songs, as if he has had 15 agonizing years of offering girls rides on his tricycle only to have them run off and play with another kid in he sandbox.

As wrong as it is, I just can’t seem to resist his sweet raspy voice and catchy beats. When his songs come on the radio I have a moment of reason: “You will change the station now, there is no way that belting out ‘One Time’ is socially acceptable.” Then I tell reason to shut-it, turn the volume to max and belt that baby like there’s no tomorrow.

About a month ago I sat in shame as my middle school aged cousins gushed over Justin, giggling and singing his songs out loud, accompanied by a dance they had made up with their friends.

“You guys are crazy,” I said rolling my eyes.

Then I left the room, shoved ear buds into my ears and selected GUILTY on my iPod, bobbing my head and shaking my hips to all 5 of Justin’s songs.

So sad. So wrong (I mean, really – this has to be illegal). So embarrassing.
But I can’t help it. That boy just…gets it.

    Like you said he is 15 and singing love songs. Something is wrong there. I won’t say his songs aren’t catchy cause they are. But what does that have to say for the future generations when kids as young as 10 are singing his lyrics. What are we teaching them.
    He’s going to continue to grow in popularity, yes. But for his sake he better pray that puberty is good to him, or he will be done.

    haha- I have several friends who love him as well… but me, NO WAY. I hate this kid… I get major creeps listening to some little kid talking about someone being his #1 girl. No 15 year old kid has a clue- LOL. Plus, that song gets stuck in my head all the time- which I cannot stand.

    But who am I to hate… I still jam to Britney Spears, and occasionally Miley Cyrus.

    this is sorta like the Taylor Lauter idea: Just hear me out…

    The boy is 15, if college age guy wrote about his hots for a 15 yr old girl then he’d be a perv.

    Just like Taylor, I know thirty yr old women who say he’s Hot and drrol over him, If it was me droolin over Miley then I would be the perv.

    Kate-Did you not sing N*SYNC, BSB, and O-town when you were that age? Those songs were all about love and heart break, and we turned out just fine (so far). It’s not teaching them anything terrible that hasn’t been taught to tons of past generations of little girls who have had celebrity crushes. Young girls from my mom’s generation were just in LOOOOVE with the Beatles, crazy about Elvis. Like I said, this happens with every generation, it’s not really anything new that is going to destroy society.
    On a different note, I love Justin Bieber too. He’s got more game than the college-age guys at my school haha

    OMgosh, cannot express how glad I am to finally know there are 21 year olds out there who like this kid. Loooool, guilty pleasure is definitely the word I’d use to describe this -For a while there, I was starting to think I was having some sort of early-life crisis…I don’t find him at all attractive, it’s not that bad thank God. I just can’t get his songs out of my head and can’t get over the paradox of a boy who looks like a poster boy for Disney being Usher’s protegee and talking about “swagger”.. and he actually does have swagger. Definitely one of those things I didn’t think I’d live to see. Thanks college candy for your company in this guilty indulgence

    I love Justin, has a wonderful voice and is very beautiful
    is so sweet even I would like to know him but I do not think you have a chance: (
    I like his songs “Love Me”, “one time”
    It’s the best!

    i like him and i really do.
    he isn’t that bad… i mean if he did go through puberty his voice would just be messed up and he wouldn’t be famous.
    but like again said, micheal jackson had a high pitched voice but look at him now.. he is dead and really popular!
    justin can be like him,doesn’t mean his voice hasn’t matured doesn’t mean you have to hate him. soon all those haters out there are going to regret what they said and they are going to see justin become more and more sucesful.

    I AM A TRUE BELIBER, AND I WILL ALWAYS BE!
    <3

    any of u lads?
    i was watchin T4 music the other day and 1 of justins songs came on, i thought it was really catchy and i liked it straight away. i didnt know know he was 15, i didnt even know who he was and he looked about 10-12 i thought it was quite, um sweet?

    googled his name as i was interested who he is and where hes come from etc, then i learnt he was actually a poor regular kid who used to sing on the street.. then about the whole youtube thing to being side by side with usher..

    kinda inspiring ya know? id give him a pat on the back if i could

    now the reason im on this website is because i googled “why do i like 10 year old music?” lol. serious, i did. i am concerned about myself! i saw some site and hundreds of comments with a girls name and with there age usually 9-13.
    im in my early 20s, a male, and i think he is cool and like his music haha.

    wish i could get his songs out of my head too, beginning to become quite annoying….. mainly the fact that its a little kid singing cheesy pop love songs, i shouldnt even know these songs!

    So true.

    “(…) and I honestly doubt the boy has even had an erection.”
