Bieber’s bangs fear being crammed into a sideways Knicks cap.
His eyes are staring down your throat and into your soul.
Oh come the fuck on. What is wrong with you, world? As if I don’t have enough to deal with. Bieber? Bieber’s Bangs? Bieber’s Bangs at the BET Awards? Render unto me a fucking break.
I know that there are some white “cross over” artists. Justin Timberlake. Pink. Eminem. Beastie Boys. That one white chick who sounds black but totally isn’t. No, not that chick. The other chick.
But Justin muthalickin’ Bieber? BIEBER! No, seriously. Bieber:
Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber is being honored among some of music’s most prominent Black performers. On Tuesday, the baby-faced teen idol nabbed a Best New Artist nomination for next month’s BET Awards in Los Angeles, where he’ll compete against fellow Canadian Melanie Fiona and the Drake-assisted hip-hop syndicate Young Money.
The annual awards show, sponsored by Black Entertainment Television, typically honors the accomplishments of entertainers of color, but officials describe Bieber — a former YouTube sensation discovered by “Confessions” star Usher — as a crossover artist with talent that transcends color lines. His latest album, My World 2.0, debuted at No.1 on the Billboard charts in March.
“Bieber has crossed the color boundaries the same way that hip-hop has crossed the boundaries the other way for a number of years,” says Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programing and Specials. “He’s had rhythm in his music. He makes the type of music our audience likes.”
The kid is, like, 14. How the hell has he crossed any boundaries? He hasn’t even yet crossed the biggest boundary of all: PUBERTY! Here’s what Bieber and his Bangs of Glory had to say about the imminent descension of his testicles and the affect it is having on his voice:
He says, “It cracks. Like every teenage boy, I’m dealing with it and I have the best vocal coach in the world. Some of the notes I hit on (hit track) Baby I can’t hit anymore. We have to lower the key when I sing live.”
Canada, this is all your fault.
Probably this says bad things about the state of black music.
Is that a drawing of Bieber wearing a nazi medal of honor?
I’m still in a state of denial over this news. My first reaction was a big old “Oh hell naw”. I just don’t really have the right words to express myself.
Not really surprised, Beiber’s about as gansta as it gets in Canadia! I think the poutine, mayple surruhp and Molson has finally compromised their brains.
sweet merciful mother of all that is good! dr gunslider: i hope this doesn’t mean that you think your neighbors to the north CONDONE this sad state of affairs. most of us (MOST) up here are able to see through the sap and helmet hair! we are more than willing to have him permanently deported to america. you can have him! keep him! throw his career to the lions!

um, no. he has not crossed anything, mr. hill. not even in the slightest. he is nothing but a face for a strategic marketing ploy aimed at the most powerful of markets: the tween, whose prowess comes from the entitled aura perpetuated by poor parenting and the desire to indulge every whim.
*deep breath; and exhale*
that’s why i can’t have kids. if any of them became beiber fans, i’d have to build a raft and set them asea.
No Karisita, not all of my northerly neighbors, (I live in Michigan so I happen to know them fairly well) just their youth culture, I never knew disney was capable of branching out like this. I mean Nick Kids awards are fine but when pre-pubescent kids start making the MTV and BET awards, sounds like they’re getting desparate enough to start robbing the cradle.
You guys all know who owns BET, yes?
“Viacom holdings include: MTV, Nickelodeon/Nick-at-Nite, VH1, BET, Comedy Central, Paramount Pictures, Paramount Home Entertainment, Atom Entertainment, and music game developer Harmonix. Viacom 18 is a joint venture with the Indian media company Global Broadcast news.”

Can’t say for sure, but I’d be mighty curious to know if Beiber’s contract couldn’t be traced back to another Viacom-owned group.
