Justin Bieber: Can Good Looks Really Get You Anywhere In This World?
If somebody surveyed all the teenage girls in Canada and the Usa asking who the fastest growing male singer was, most of them would probably answer Justin Bieber.
Justin is currently 15 years old, born on March 14th, 1994. He was born in Stratford, Ontario. Justin first started singing in 2007, and was discovered Scooter Braun, who quickly became his manager. Justin's manager flew him to Atlanta, Georgia to sing for Usher. When Usher heard him singing he was very impressed. Antonio L.A. Reid at Island Records signed Justin to Island Records in October 2008.
Justin's first single was "One Time", and it quickly grew to the top of the charts.
I myself listened to the song, and although I found it was an okay song, I didn't worship it like lots of other girls I know did.
Wanting to know why this song had done so well, I decided to find out through some people I knew who were absolutly crazy about him.
I talked to twenty girls, aged 12 to 14, and found some similarities in their answers.
When asked why they loved him so much, this was the response I got.
16 of the people said they loved him for his 'killer looks',
2 of the people said they loved him because his singing 'came from his heart',
And the remaining 2 people said the liked him because his looks and singing.
This information pretty much informs us that even if about 80% of your fans only like you because of your looks, you can still make it far in the world.
So, with all this information, you can probably figure it out: Without the good looks, Justin probably wouldn't be quite so far in his singing career.

I ADORE Justin Bieber. And yes, his looks are quite a positive plus to him, he really does have talent though. He can REALLY SING! Listen to his acoustic stuff on youtube...the kid has a voice. So no, I don't believe good looks are the only reason he is famous, while they certainly may help, I don't think a lot of his fans just like him for his looks. I saw him in concert and he was amazing live. He is also a TEENAGER and he actually acts like one (flirting, little sayings) so he is more relatable. I could actually see him at my school if he weren't famous. He acts like a teenage boy should and that is very attractive too :).
And seriously, this is true about a lot of people. Jonas Brothers? They have some talent (no judgements please I used to be obessesd and still like them), but they are gorgeous too. And this may sound really shallow, but looks really do play an important role in life no matter what (not just facial beauty but clothing and other appearence factors as well).
In my opinion his songs are way too adorable and so sweet. It makes my lonley heart feel better haha!
I kinda see where your coming from with this, and we are certainly all allowed to have our own tastes and preferences in the music we listen too.
"well u r so rude only if u maybe had a voice u would know cause u maybe don't have a voice!"
