Justin Bieber: The Winding Road Ahead

Now you all may remember dear Justin Bieber; a young, fresh YouTube singer who's fame was set to rise when he was signed by Usher. His fan base soon grew from a few meager randoms on YouTube to a booming crop of screaming teenage girls. He soon started producing hit after hit and sure enough, this young star's future looked bright. Or did it?

In recent days, Justin's private life seems to be shrouded with controversy. From his excessive thirst for tattooes, to his introduction to clubs and substance abuse. Many fans refuse to admit that perhaps Justin has picked up a few new habits. Many attribute his new 'bad-boy' persona to the new members to his crew. I will admit, that his behavior of late leads me to believe that he is being influenced by 'black rap culture', if that's a real term.

Gone are the days when we viewed Justin as a fresh- faced young boy with stars in his eyes. Now, many girls (older women included) view him as a 'bubbling sexpot that they desire to throw them on the coffee table and proceed to Fornicate without hesitation or pause.' Believe me, I don't make this stuff up. I remember his first acceptance speech which was some eons ago; he thanked God and Jesus and stated that he is truly blessed with this talent. I'm not here to preach that he has lost his religion, heck, I'm not necessarily a beacon of absolute adherence but at least I know right from wrong. 

Teenagers all around the world experiment with substances all the time, but just because Justin is in the spotlight, all of his daily actions are placed under the spotlight. Whether he's seen leaving church (which I haven't seen him do) or leaving a nightclub (which I have seen quite often lately), Justin's actions are constantly being scrutinized by the critical public. Personally, I feel as if many parents are turning a blind eye to what is clearly happening before them. They all choose to scrutinize and bash stars like Miley Cyrus and carry on driving their daughters to Justin Bieber concerts monthly. Not to say that there's anything wrong with Justin but he is slowly going down a dark path.

The seductive allure of drugs, alcohol and loose women is very attractive to young boys. Just as Miley, Justin may also want to transition into the adult market sooner rather than later. In his recent concerts, Justin has taken to stripping to appease the masses of horny teenage girls who will undoubtedly go home and finger themselves to that video. Too much? Too bad. 

Anyway, I have observed in many of his recent concert videos that he's prone to stripping and dancing more than singing. I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't pay the equivalent to the price of an expensive handbag to watch a slightly underdeveloped young boy strutting whatever muscle he has across the stage. I'd rather buy video games.

Justin's body has also changed. Of course we have all noticed his multitude of fresh ink sprawled across his body. The tattoos are mostly on his left arm and last time I checked he had a tattoo of Jesus praying on his calf. Personally, I also aspire to have a few tattoos when I'm older and have the balls to do it, but I really don't understand it when people get a gang-load of tatts. Imagine how attractive those things are going to look when you're pushing 80 in an old-age home, dragging around bags of skin. Attractive, huh?

In conclusion, I would like to make my case to the public: we should not be so quick to judge. There's a mass going around of double standards here. I'm not really fond of Miley or Bieber, but I do believe that people are focusing more on Miley's behavior rather than Justin's. Look: Justin is getting into fights in nightclubs. Justin is 'entertaining' various women, allegedly to make Selena Gomez jealous. Justin is getting a gang-load of tattoos that he will probably regret when he's older. But then again, so will Lil' Wayne. Justin is wearing ski masks out in public in order to get attention. He is displaying all sorts of erratic behavior; from spitting at fans and neighbors, to peeing in a mob bucket and yelling, "Fuck Bill Clinton!" 

Justin. Needs. Help.

So I make an appeal to his management team, who see to be ignoring the warning signs. People predict he may become the next Vanilla Ice and fade into obscurity, or the next Lindsay Lohan and struggle with addiction. I'm going to go all religious and shit on all of you and suggest that :

Don't we all miss that humble, talented white boy from Canada? (sit down Drake, we don't mean you)
