Justin Bieber is seventeen years old and is a singer-songwriter, musician, and actor. Justin Bieber is known for being a pop, dance-pop, teen pop and R & B artist. He has four albums out named My World 2.0, My Worlds Acoustic, Never Say Never-The Remixes, and Never Say Never. In these albums Justin Bieber features Ludacris, Chris Brown, Sean Kingston, Jaden Smith, Usher, and Rascal Flatts. Justin Bieber’s music allows people to feel with a variety of emotions. With his more upbeat songs such as “One Time,” “Baby,” “Somebody to Love,” people feel bubbly, excited, joyful, and full of life. People feel this way in these songs because the music is mostly vocals allowing the listener to hear the words clearly. In Justin Bieber’s acoustic song “Pray” it creates an intimate and spiritual mood. It allows the listener to reflect on their life and making them want to make a change in the world. There are a lot of people who love Justin Bieber’s music; they might also like Aaron Carter or Jesse McCartney music as well. Aaron Carter and Jesse McCartney both became famous in their teen years. There genre of music is the exact same as Justin Bieber and they sing very similar songs. Aaron Carters song “I want Candy” is similar to Justin Bieber’s song “Baby.” Both songs are of them singing about a girl they like. Jesse McCartney song “Beautiful Soul” is similar to Justin Bieber’s song “One Less Lonely Girl.” Both songs are of them singing about a girl and how they will treat her good. One of my favorite songs by Justin Bieber is “Love Me.” This song is featured in the album My World 2.0. The reason why I like this song so much is that the lyrics are very catchy, and it’s easy to sing along with because the lyrics are repeated very often. My favorite lyrics in the song are:
“Love me, Love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, Fool me
Oh how you do me
Kiss me, Kiss me
Say that you miss me
Tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me u love me.”
Another song that I like by Justin Bieber featuring Jaden Smith is “Never Say Never.” The lyrics that I like in this song are:
“I gotta be the best, and yes
We're the flyest.
Like David and Goliath,
I conquered the giant.”
The reason why I like these lyrics are because it reminds me of when I was in Sunday school learning about David and Goliath. I enjoy listening to Justin Bieber’s music and I have heard nothing but good opinions from the critics. One critic referred to Justin Bieber’s album My World Acoustic as “It repackages the 16-year-old singer's most intimate songs from his two albums and offers new material in the form of "Pray," treacle but well-meaning ballad that taps into Bieber's spiritual beliefs.” Another critic referred to Justin Bieber’s album My World 2.0 as “In addition to having a more dominant R&B feel than his first release, the album is described as edgier and more mature. In addition to the R&B sound, the album also combines it with pop and hip-hop sounds.” Overall, I believe that Justin Bieber is a very talented singer-songwriter, musician, and actor. I think that Justin Bieber’s music is for female teenagers that enjoy hearing songs about love. Also Justin Bieber does appreciate the support from his fans that he documented a movie of his tours for them. This movie is named Never Say Never. I think that everybody should at least listen to one of his songs and from there on they can decide if he is the artist for them.
