It's mostly fabricated junk relying on covers or gimmicky 3 minute pop cliches or in fact get someone else do the hard work and create a brand for him and get some songs and backing tracks done.
There's no doubt Bieber may actually learn something in the industry and may be half decent in several years but the fact he has been given a chance on the back of nothing (no originality, no songs, no great voice or pretty much anything) is quite insulting in comparison to struggling musicians around the world. That is the part that makes me sick.

I totally agree.
Do you remember the A*Teens ?
They majorly pissed me off with their constant cover of ABBA classics, and they shot to fame off ABBA and as a huge fan of the groupe I absolutely hated them for doing that, it's like get some originality ffs !
