One should look beyond the screaming fans and constant allegations to see the true star that is Justin Bieber. One hears at least 10 negative comments made about Bieber on a daily basis, and this is completely preposterous.
Bieber is an all around, well-rounded celebrity. From his great music to his generous nature, Bieber represents a star worth looking up to.
After being discovered by Scooter Braun at 14 as a kid singing on Youtube, Bieber released his first single “One Time” and instantly became the talk of the every town. Bieber attracted both die-hard fans and a band of haters. Most comments made toward Bieber’s music were about his not yet matured voice; however, people should realize that puberty hits at different times. If one listens to Bieber’s albums in chronological order, he can hear how Bieber’s voice gets deeper as he ages.
Bieber combines his swooning vocals and “swag” into each of his albums; something that pleases both him and his fans. His combination of slow and upbeat music can appeal to all audiences.
Bieber released a Christmas album entitled Under the Mistletoe, which features original songs and classics such as “Silent Night” and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” The album also features duets with Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes and Usher.
Apart from his Christmas album, Bieber has also paired with Ludacris, Sean Kingston and Drake for tracks on his previous albums. Bieber’s collaborations with big name artists like these are proof he is actually a talented singer and worth one’s time.
Another attribute to Bieber’s success is his gigantic heart. Bieber is constantly giving money to charities. He is donating all his proceeds from Under the Mistletoe to seven different charities and said on his website, “I know firsthand that if you believe in your dreams, everything is possible.”
Bieber recently donated a pair of his autographed shoes to help the Orlando Ballet raise money in a fundraising auction. Bieber’s shoes sold for $650. Bieber also uses fan interactions as another way to give back to the community.
Bieber surprises one fan at every show, where his team picks one girl from the crowd and allows her to come on stage. The fan then sits in a chair while Bieber sings his hit “One Less Lonely Girl” to her. Bieber swoons the girl throughout the performance and then gives her a bouquet of roses before she leaves. This usually results in a fit of tears from the fan.
Bieber even tries to make time for his fans on a daily basis. He can be found tweeting fans and giving them an inside look to his life with pictures and updates of where and what he is doing.
These examples are but a small fraction of the amount of time and money Bieber has used to help others and connect with his fans.
Despite constant allegations by the media toward Bieber claiming he is a diva, these allegations could not be farther from the truth. If one watches Bieber’s movie Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, one can easily see how down to earth he is.
All of Bieber’s family, friends and crew members help keep Bieber well grounded. Bieber’s mom is constantly referred to as his role model and inspiration during shows and interviews; something that shows how respectful and wonderful Bieber is not only as a star, but a human being as well.
He tries to keep his life as normal as possible, despite his widespread fame. His most recent attempts to be a normal teenage boy are with his girlfriend Selena Gomez, who is constantly given negative comments by his jealous fans and the “life-ruining” paparazzi. They constantly take shots of both Bieber and Gomez when they try to have nice dates.
However, both Bieber and Gomez ignore these attacks. They keep their heads held high and find time to be with one another. Bieber’s charming nature toward his girlfriend was apparent when he rented out the entire Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, where just the two of them watched Titanic.
Bieber’s combination of fantastic musical ability and talent, his huge heart and his well grounded lifestyle help contribute to his success as an artist and promise that he will not be going anywhere anytime soon. Bieber has just the right amount of “swag” to continue on in this line of business. One should watch out for the reckoning force of Justin Bieber, a celebrity worth one’s time.
