I'm just glad the clown show is now out of town. Hope Odom gets his life together away from the witches.

Whose coat tails will they hop on next?

The Kardashians and Justin Bieber. They are celebrities for being . . . celebrities.

And there are too many everyday people who hang on their every word.

Beiber's a complete douche, but to deny the kid's talent is completely out of touch with reality.

Which talent is that? Certainly not singing; it's all autotuned and heavily processed. Literally anyone could sound like a good singer with that much retouching.

you're right... that why EVERY cute singer in the world has sold millions of albums and sells out stadiums. oh wait...

producers like Usher and Timberlake don't go to war over a talentless hack. I can't believe y'all are making me defend bieber, but you're both old men who have literally zero pulse on the entertainment industry and how it works.

Well, add me (32 years old) to the list of "old men out of touch" then.

I want on that list too.

Are we arguing that pop music fame is based on talent. . .always? Can't believe Cheese would go there. The hype machine of popularity is most often absolutley inexplicable.

I don't know how else you explain Bieber, as well as Anna Nicole Smith, the Kardashians, Yoko Ono, Kesha, and so many more.

Obviously there's not enough demand for every cute singer to make millions. The publicity machine decides to pick a few and run with them. This can't be a surprise to you.

but you're both old men who have literally zero pulse on the entertainment industry and how it works.

If you think I have no clue how the music industry works, you are too far beyond mistaken for words to express.

The music industry topic seems to have been dropped, but in case anyone is interested in elaboration, here's a great (and new) article that explains more of what I was referring to:
