Justin Bieber is dead

, long live Justin Bieber.

I pick on Bieber a lot, because he’s an easy target (ha ha), but this has been a busy week for the Bieber.

Not only did Glee do a tribute to the Biebs, but his CSI character got a lot of attention.

I have to say that I loved the Glee episode (Chris turned it off as soon as “Puffy Lips” (Chord Overstreet) started singing Baby), but I stuck it out and was handsomely rewarded. Not only were the Glee boy’s renditions of Baby and Somebody To Love pretty good (and them in their hoodies) – but the diva-off between Mercedes and Rachel doing Take Me or Leave Me from Rent was great.

Sue’s suggestion they do a real anthem, and then doing My Chemical Romance’s Sing is a questionable choice. I guess it’s a “modern day” anthem as opposed to the legendary rock anthems I was thinking/hoping they might do. Strong enough for Regionals? Who knows how the writers will play it. Depends on the iTunes sales I think. Anyway, I downloaded this and the original. Good week for music.

Back to Bieber.

I have not seen CSI in a few years, specifically none of the episodes with Justin in them, and really don’t know about his character.

All I know is that I got a chuckle out of the above animated GIF. Mainly because I poke fun. Yes, I know constantly talking about him “really” means that I like Justin. Just like Lady MacBeth.

I do draw the line at seeing a movie about him. No 16 year old needs a feature film biography.

My favorite GG moment

Sunday brought the Golden Globe Awards, which are pretty much the best awards show. Lots of drinking.

Ricky Gervais wasn’t too bad but the best quip of the evening came from whoever picked up the award for Toy Story 3 (Lee Unkrich). Hailee Steinfeld and Justin Bieber presented the award (Children?) and Lee tossed of the bon mot shown in the picture below.

I rag on Bieber frequently, but he is an adorable little moppet. And Unkrich wasn’t far off. Toy Story came out in 1995. 15 years ago. Bieber is 16-ish (March 1994) and Steinfeld was born in December 1996, making her YOUNGER than Toy Story by a full year and a half.

Justin got demoted

Yes, I’m kinda picking on The Bieber again, but not really. And this time I’ve actually listened to his CD. Or at least 30 seconds from each track.

From Overheard In New York…

Mom: You wanna play with my iPod? I put your favorite Bieber songs on there.

Three-year-old: He not my favorite anymore.

Mom: He’s not? How come?

Three-year-old: Mommy, he’s just a white boy from Canada.

Canadian music suffers

Ringo Star & Justin Bieber

In the past, Canada has put forward a lot of great musicians like Celine Dion, David Foster, Alanis Morrissette, Bryan Adams, k.d. lang, Luba, Leonard Cohen, Sarah McLachlan, Barenaked Ladies, Tragically Hip, Neil Young, Ashley MacIsaac, Randy and Tal Bachman, and the list goes on and on. Click the link above to visit the Wikipedia list. It’s pretty amazing.

Today, we present the modern equivalent. Justin Bieber.

What’s a Justin Bieber? You ask? He’s a 16 year old kid from Stratford, Ontario (read: nowhere) and he taught himself how to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. In 2007 his mom started whoring him out posting videos on YouTube of him performing songs by Usher, Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder.

He’s a tiny little boy who’s talent will probably only last until he hits puberty, but for the time being he’s making teenage girls “swoon” (we’ll call it that for the sake of propriety) all over the place. Ok, I admit, I think he’s relatively adorable, but that swoop of hair across his face is annoyingly cutsie and I just find him generally annoying.

Sadly, this is the current state of Canadian musical talent export. Feel free to check him out at his official site if you wanna be “current” in Canadian “music.”

Dear America. Back-atcha. Canada.
