I must be. There is less every day that I understand. There is less I care to even pretend I understand.
Case in point: Justin Bieber. Really. I will admit to barely understanding my friends going crazy over David Cassidy and Donny Osmond back in the day. I really, really didn't get the Osmond thing. Guess I've never been a fan of wholesome. Anyway. This Bieber kid. Take a boo at this pic.
Oh, dear. If you can make a buck being a screaming teen sensation, more power to you. If you can manage to do it and stay out of jail (yeah, I'm looking at you, Lindsay), even more power to you.
But please. Can we have children refrain from grabbing their baby genitals on stage? Please? First it's Miley Cyrus prancing around in her underwear every place I look, and now this wholesome little Canadian boy, with his tiny little chipmunk voice, going for gold. Are mothers everywhere - especially his own - not cringing?
Sing. Sing like the wind. Dance. Make money. Go back to school so you don't get ripped off by your 'managers'. But when your average fan is about 12, I'm gonna suggest you an leave the sexy sexy for another time.
Couldn't agree with you more (but then again, I am your sister). Why, why, why do they feel the need to try sooo hard?
ReplyDeleteHis latest tweet after a rumour got out that he has a girlfriend - "I'm single and ready to mingle" Who even says that shit anymore? (his manager, maybe?) puke.

ozziemozzie - step away from your keyboard.
I used to faithfully buy People magazine, until I realized I had no idea who the people were they were writing about. That's when I knew I was officially old.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is 10 and I don't know how she even knows who he is but she does, and she doesn't like him at all. I am so glad I'm not going to have to endure being asked to try and go to a concert!
ReplyDeleteBTW...I couldn't stand Donny Osmond but David Cassidy...well I had a life size poster and the lyrics to his sappy songs are still taking up far too much space in my brain!
I occasionally Youtube I Think I Love You...
ReplyDelete(confession of the day...)
I had a life sized poster of David Bowie. (in pink knit hot pants and red spiky hair)

And if I recall, a pair of silver balls very noticeable in those shorts from the up-camera angle.
ReplyDeleteI was scarred.
huh?

Did you not notice he was also clutching his heart (... or it would be if he was from Planet Inverted)? This suggests that he was probably singing a tear-jerker song about soccer (or football) and was right at the part where the player is trying to block a free kick. He is willing to take one in the hoo-haas for the love of his country and the queen.
ReplyDeleteLove and hoo-haas make for wonderful songs.
David & Donny were what all my friends were drooling over but I went outside that and spent all my time listening to the Jackson 5!
ReplyDeleteFor whitebread Burlington it was a stretch but I didn't care....you could dance to their music...and their cartoon was way better than the Osmonds!
(OMG...I am so old)
