To all of those Justin haters out there, i just have to say this: So young, so full of jealous. Unless you are jealous, there is no reason to dislike this guy. Look, he’s young, talented, good looking, and successful. And he’s not in the news for wrongdoing. Not for fighting in clubs, possession of marijuana, drunk driving, or cheating on his wife. He is a genuinely good guy.
Now you might say, “He’s never gone through adversity.” So what? Should he apologize b/c the good Lord has blessed him with good fortune? How about this, he should get into a life-threatening accident and survive it. Or better, he should get test. cancer and survive. Is that enough adversity for you? Come on. So you’re basically saying, the only way to respect someone is if they have bad luck. Ok, i guess…
Anyways I have to say, dont hate the playa, the game. If you hate pop music, than fine. But dont hate Justin for succeeding in it. Pop music focuses on the singer’s talents rather than the music behind him. Its about getting a good beat to dance to and allowing the singer to showcase his/her talent. Thats what JTim has, talent. And dont act like he has nothing to do with his own album. He works closely with the producers and adds his input on each song, including the beat, lyrics, and order. Its not like he sits at home while everyone else makes his album, and then he comes into the studio sings the words given to him and then leaves. Come on. JTim works hard on each album he and *NSync makes. He works hard on his singing, dancing,entertaining and beat boxing. So he doesnt play the guitar or drums. Well neither did, Mike Jackson, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, James Brown, Diana Ross, the Temptations, or Smokey Robinson.
And he does give back to the community. Just because you have never heard him promote his charity doesnt mean that he never does. I mean how many celebrities talk about their charity in every interview? Zero, thats how many. And you dont know his spending habits. For all you know, he could give 50% of all his earnings to charity. He just doesnt brag about it for shameless attention.
Anyways, there is no reason to dislike Justin. You may not like him, but there is no reason to dislike him. Unless you are jealous. In which case thats fine.
