Justin Bieber Runs the World

Justin Bieber was discovered off the internet a couple of years ago and since that time has become the hottest thing in the music world. Bieber has been and continues to carve a major part of his fan base out of the teeny bopper population and that is to expected. Sometimes it seems kind of odd that a skinny little mop topped white boy can become the most popular entertainer around but if nothing else he does appear safe.

Like most teeny bopper favorites Bieber has been ridiculed by a large segment of adults and of course young boys and men that are too cool for someone like him.

Most of these teen idols fade, but it seems like Bieber may have more staying power. His new album has been another monster success and in listening with our daughter to his single Boyfriend it is not a big stretch to see a similarity between he and Justin Timberlake, another teen idol that has moved into an all encompassing career.

Bieber appears to be very career savvy. He has shown interest in movies, video, producing and all other facets of the business. Last fall a simple tweet from his home in Canada over Thanksgiving mentioning how much he liked a single from a then unknown singer named Carly Rae Jepsen launched what has become the biggest single of the year.

" Call Me Maybe " might well be the first example of many of the eye for talent that Bieber produces.

Watching Bieber on interview shows such as Ellen, and on entertainment shows like Idol and The Voice he appears to be every Mother's dream. Well mannered, respectful, certainly flashing none of the look that makes him appear dangerous Bieber has it all. How he transitions into an adult career will be interesting. It is a tough bridge to cross. My guess is he will navigate it quite well.
