The 11 Best Songs By The Dears


Believe it or not...I don't really have an opinion on Justin Bieber.  I'm not a big pop music fan, so I don't really pay him mind either way.  But one thing, I will say, is that I've lived long enough to see plenty of Justin Biebers explode onto the scene only to fizzle away.  Remember the Jonas Brothers?  Hanson?  How's 98 Degrees career going?  But that's the shelf life of a pop music star.  Very very few male pop stars make it past the age of 25.  It's just a fact.  Once you're not cute and cuddly anymore, you're done.

What seems to be different this time is the fanatics behind the Bieber movement.  Every one says that Bieber fans are nuts, bordering on psychotic.  But are Bieber fans any different than any other crazed fans that have come before them...or is it that they now have an extrememly public outlet that other fans of the past didn't have?  I remember back in high school, I made a joke about the singer, Tiffany.  Some rabid Tiffany fan threatened to stab me in the heart if I ever said anything bad about her again.

I give Bieber 3 years.  And that's not because I don't like the kid...he is just a kid.  But when you come out huge...there's no where to go but down.

1.  Lost in the Plot (No Cities Left)
