Why do people hate Justin Bieber?

68. Personally...

I don't hate him as much as I am disappointed.

The kid is TALENTED...more so than many of the pop artists and rock stars that are out there today. The problem I have with that is that he and his parents let the recording industry exploit his talents at such a young age that any individuality he has that separates him from the crowd has been lost on the cookie-cutter pop music crap he has been spewing.

If you had given him 10 more years of life experience and let him develop his OWN musical style and his OWN career direction he could have turned into one of the most creative, inventive, independent artists out there, then made the record industry his bitch.

Instead, he sold out at 16, has made trash music with absolutely no musical diversity and has sold his soul to the music industry for fame and fortune. I don't necessarily think there is anything wrong with selling your art for money, there really is no other reason to BE an artist other than to make money off it, but he sold out his TALENT to get fame early and it has been whitewashed over to the extent that all his music is bland and no different than every other teen pop star to hit the scene in the past 20 years.

I think, had he waited, he would have become a respected and universally like musician and artist, instead of one more pop music icon that will be washed up and gone soon having let absolutely nothing creative or new in his wake.

Ultimately, I think I feel more sorry for the kid than I hate him.
