Justin Bieber

it's definitely a good piece conjured out of mostly nothing.

I've never read Caity Weaver before. She's pretty great isn't she?

caity weaver's advice column is the best thing gawker has ever published and i'm still a bit mad that she was so good that it had to end

Oh my goodness, people are really, really upset at Justin Bieber.

Found out today that my dental hygienist's sister taught Justin Bieber's mother. That's, what, about nine-and-a-half degrees of separation?

I used to wait on his uncle a lot at my old record store job. Weird guy.

Everyone's got a Bieber story.

sounds too high

doesn't live up to the stereotype that we're all relatives

i'm sure clemenza is my great great grandfather's uncle's husband's daughter's son

What a sweetly hateful ditty.

lol i love that Ed Sheeran burn. <3

Bieber's worst single for sure.

new song is out there. kinda generic, imo.

"confident" popped up on a rando playlist i was spinning and i had a moment of "oh yeah, this guy is occasionally good"

'journals' is still his best record.

New song feels like a self-parody he would make for SNL

Very wish washy. I’ll skip. Srsly you got that yummy yum? Urgh

utter crap

it's getting spammed premiered hourly on iheartmedia's top 40 stations too. the '''''pop''''' end of the industry really thinks all you need to do to get a hit these days is be white and sing complete nonsense over any old trap beat, huh

the new one with kehlani is way better, fortunately.

did anyone listen to the new album?
it's more close to journals, but it's sounding very samey overall.

I had stopped listening to him after “Yummy”, but “Peaches” sounds good at least. he’s bought all the r&b, rap and even afropop (Burna Boy on a so-so track) collabs money can buy, but I’m not sure I’m keen to indulge him and his “MLK Interlude”s.

it’s hard to keep up with the guy (if you would want to). I see that apart from a Deluxe version of the album he has now also dropped a new EP which has him channeling Wizkid of all people on the title track:

Justin Bieber ft. BEAM • Freedom

i can't stand "peaches"

i have more patience for Bieber than I probably should but even I think there needs to be legislation against him starting a song "BIG UP TO MY BRUDDA"

i dislike "peaches" also, no idea how it's become his most effortless hit since purpose

well it's easily the best single he's released since purpose... the other singles off this album are just totally dire, yummy was a pretty big hit despite being deathly corny, the quavo one i can barely remember how it goes. "peaches" is an up tempo summer song with a memorable chorus, i'm surprised it took them this long to find a song even this good

"yummy" and the quavo song were from the last album not this one, which kinda underscores how indistinctive his music has been and still is in these past couple years

you said since purpose tho

sorry i misunderstood what you wrote

i don't hate "peaches" but bieber's presence on it is clearly the worst part and while pleasant otherwise it's pretty blandly forgettable

I live about 20 minutes from Stratford. He's home today for some event, so much posting in the Stratford Life Facebook group. St. Marys, where I am, relatively quiet.
