I dont care Justin B is a fuckin Dyke transvesdike

[rareboy]

There is the whole psychological phenomenon in teeny bop music of boy crooners who are 'Bambisexual'...they are non-threatening, sensitive, asexualized idols who help lead the teenaged girls into adulthood.

Beiber is just the latest in a long line of them.

The problem is that once his demographic ages a bit, they are going to drop him and he'll end up on "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!!' or on Celebrity Apprentice if he hasn't been lucky enough to OD first or, like Usher, to find his own little fuck puppet to groom into the next generation of stardom.

...Do you agree with me that they've gotten progressively more feminine? Bieber represents the absolute most extreme example, in my humble opinion.

PS. I think a photo retrospective, starting with Sinatra and ending with Bieber, might prove very interesting.

Yes. These women want emasculated men.



Bender and I have been having a warm discussion in this thread about the fad with some of our own emasculating women within JUB.

"Mairzy doats"?

It's a wartime song based on a British nursery rhyme:

[GiancarloC]

yeah, justin is annoying but i think he can sing WAY better than one direction. now those guys suck.

Dude no. Justin doesn't have talent and his voice... yuck.

And One Direction is way better than him.

[JohannBessler]

^I liked the Merry Macs version better. Just listen to the complexity of the vocals, starting about 1:00



It's the first song I ever remember my Father singing to me.

[refujiunderground]

Dude no. Justin doesn't have talent and his voice... yuck.

And One Direction is way better than him.

how so???

at least justin can hold a note. one direction is amateurish as all hell. even the backstreet boys and nsync got more singing ability than them. they even make new kids on the block look talented.

[GiancarloC]

Justin can't hold a note... his voice cracks up... Zayn Malik in particular is quite talented vocally.. amateurish? LMAO. Says the guy who thinks rap is a music genre.

lol.

I have to agree about rap music, but I consider myself too old.

I'll have to go to Youtube and listen to Zayn Malik's voice out of curiosity.

[JohannBessler]

^I find your conversation interesting.

I went to Youtube to listen to both artists. Gentlemen, I find it very refreshing to see good voices coming back into style. I had thought, for a while, that sooner or later, the use of the human voice as an instrument would become obsolete, in the same way that the clavichord and the lyre has become obsolete as instruments.

I am happy to see that I was wrong. Those two both really do have good,agile voices.

I think I prefer Malik's voice, though. It doesn't sound pre-pubescent as does Bieber's, and I find that it has more depth and richness of tone..

Very, very nice...

[GiancarloC]

Zayn Malik is my favorite in One Direction... beyond the others... he's has a very wide vocal range and can hit notes with ease. He's taken a more active role in the group with regards to their most recent album "Take Me Home" rather than the first album they did.

[refujiunderground]

Justin can't hold a note... his voice cracks up... Zayn Malik in particular is quite talented vocally.. amateurish? LMAO. Says the guy who thinks rap is a music genre.

don't go there with rap music especially when you love reggaeton. that's basically rap in espanol.

and yeah, one direction is VERY amateurish. too amateurish. they make that boy band from the original making the band look good. what were they called again? o town? they had cuter guys too.

Oh no you didn't! Reggaeton isn't rap in Spanish. That's a big time mistake too many people make! Reggaeton has its roots in bachata, merengue, and reggae. This isn't rap at all. While it may sound like some artists will "rap", the actual genre has its roots in completely different genres. Oh and in reggaeton, artists actually sing. They don't just talk because they lack vocal variation (kinda like shit artists like Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others)...



An artist like Randy (who is black Puerto Rican I might add) has one of the widest vocal ranges of any reggaeton artist...

It's a huge error to categorize reggaeton as Spanish rap when it isn't anything of the sort.

And One Direction isn't amateurish. Zayn Malik can sing far better than Bieber. O Town? Cuter guys? Oh please.

doesn't reggaeton take elements of rap? it may not be exactly spanish rap but there's hip hop elements in it though. you can't deny that.

and i don't know who zayn malik is. all i know is that i heard some songs from one direction and it wasn't anything jaw dropping or wow, dude can sing. lady gaga sings better than them and she ain't even all that. o town does have better looking dudes. at least they look like they hit puberty. can't say the same thing about one direction. i feel like a pedophile looking at them. with that said, justin beiber looks way too young for me. he does have the androgynous look but he looks way too young. maybe in a couple of years when he's able to grow facial hair.

[BENDERBOY]

In reference to the OP.

[GiancarloC]

doesn't reggaeton take elements of rap? it may not be exactly spanish rap but there's hip hop elements in it though. you can't deny that.

Reggaeton didn't take elements of rap at all. It's beat is more tied to bachata and merengue. Reggae is also influencing it. It's not hip-hop and it doesn't take hip-hop elements. Have you listened to much of it? Listen to reggae artists like Cultura Profetica and bachata artists like Prince Royce and then get back to me.

Don't try to say that reggaeton took elements of rap when reggaeton arguably came before rap... again it goes back to reggae... which was sung in Jamaica, Dominica and Puerto Rico in both English and Spanish.

and i don't know who zayn malik is. all i know is that i heard some songs from one direction and it wasn't anything jaw dropping or wow, dude can sing. lady gaga sings better than them and she ain't even all that. o town does have better looking dudes. at least they look like they hit puberty. can't say the same thing about one direction. i feel like a pedophile looking at them. with that said, justin beiber looks way too young for me. he does have the androgynous look but he looks way too young. maybe in a couple of years when he's able to grow facial hair.

Zayn Malik is one of the key singers in One Direction, and he has a superb vocal range... he hits notes very well. I don't even like the others of One Direction... Harry Styles is okay... but really, Zayn Malik is one of the best in the group. And i have every right to bring up rap when a rap fan says "One Direction can't even sing". Oh and most in One Direction are 19/20... they aren't children. They are still getting to their 20s... but, they aren't kids. Bieber is younger than them.

[refujiunderground]

funny how you posted this video by the way.

the beat is a dancehall riddim.

[GiancarloC]

It's not dancehall. It's reggae. Nice TRY. So no. Cultura Profetica is a reggae group.

Why do people comment on genres they aren't knowledgable abuot?

[refujiunderground]

It's not dancehall. It's reggae. Nice TRY. So no. Cultura Profetica is a reggae group.

it's virtually the same thing.

[GiancarloC]

it's virtually the same thing.

It's not though. That's the issue here. And again, reggae is something different. Cultura Profetica is a REGGAE group.

I know you hate reggaeton, so I don't even know why we're discussing this. In reggaeton you actually need vocals to sing... I can't say the same about rap.

This has gone off topic.

[G-Lexington]

So what? The best conversations lead to interesting and unexpected places, and I'm certainly happier with where we are now than whete we were before.

I finally found a music genre I can't find much to like in at all - whatever the hell the Avett Brothers are.

Lex

[CupidBoy]

Swag swag swag, on YOU.

[JohannBessler]

Lex

Which genre, Lex?

[G-Lexington]

"whatever the hell the Avett Brothers are." Sort of hippie rock meets (American) folk meets bluegrass. But apparently combining my least favorite aspects of all of those, with a bit of smugness thrown in. Maybe .i'm imagining that last part though.

Lex

[JohannBessler]

^I just listened to an Avett Brothers tune.

I think the problem lies in the fact that the lead singer can't sing well enough to carry that kind of music.

[G-Lexington]

Annoyingly, I think that's part of the appeal. It's considered "raw" or "ramshackle", and thus "real" or "honest" or "a refreshing change from Autotuned studio perfection".

Lex

[RazorzEdge88]

Justin Bieber looking feminine? NO ONE HAS EVER MADE THIS CLAIM!

[JohannBessler]

Lex

I have a theory that singers like that have to strike some kind of emotional chord, though. Lex.

Remember Hank Williams? He had a horrible singing voice, barely on-tune sometimes. But somehow, through those monaural speakers, he reached deep into the hearts of a lot of country people.

By contrast, I don't think the Brothers have that kind of rapport.

[G-Lexington]

Just did some research. The current album sits at #4 on the American chart. Their previous album was named Album of the Year by Paste, but Pitchfork complained "Every instrument sounds perfectly placed, and that's a shame because the Avetts got more mileage out of their rough edges than most bands this decade." In short, they didn't like it because it didn't sound rough enough.

Lex

[Kulindahr]

Well.. he got a tattoo of Jesus on his leg. He's against abortion (even if the woman has been raped), and I can't completely remember what he said about gay people.. but it wasn't exactly nice. He is just your typical Christian fundie.

His view on gays is if someone wants to do that, no one should have a problem with it. Whether he thinks it's sinful is hard to tell.

Though one thing is clear -- he's okay with premarital sex, which he's demonstrated backstage....

So he's not quite the typical fundie.

[Kulindahr]

Oh no you didn't! Reggaeton isn't rap in Spanish. That's a big time mistake too many people make! Reggaeton has its roots in bachata, merengue, and reggae. This isn't rap at all.

That's closer to country than to rap.

[GiancarloC]

It's closer to reggae. Which is its own category.

[tombastep]

Says the guy who thinks rap is a music genre.

There is plenty of good rap. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't a musical genre.

[Kulindahr]

First time I saw a pic of Bieber was a full-size cardboard job in a store, and I wondered how a 12-y.o. could be such a phenom with teens.

To me he finally looks maybe fourteen or fifteen.


He's what they used to call a "crooner". If he can still sing after his voice decides where it wants to settle, he may have a future.

[-Callum-]

Guy has to find Lautner's personal trainer(s) if he wants to rock the teen sensation into young adult crooner aka Justin Timberlake.

^Bieber is a fundie?

Boy from small town Ontario...so yes, he's likely a loon. Most of us are.

[pat grimshaw]

I agree with Giancarlo.

Rap isn't music. The 'rapper' uses a closed speaking voice not an open singing voice. It's more like snarling than singing.

Some producer might add lots of background music and a chorus of female melodists to make the thing bearable and less monotonous and to soften the usual unpleasant aggressive attitude.

[GiancarloC]

Plenty of good rap? Like Lil Wayne? 50 Cent? Lol... those guys can't sing. Lil Wayne is horrible...

[CupidBoy]

Swag swag swag, on YOU.

[tombastep]

Nah, don't like those guys. I am not hear to convince you to like the genre or anything, just that I don't think it's fair to disregard it from being a musical genre.

Ya this thread got lame real fast. Never the less this post really makes it quite clear that you need to be open up. You need to relax more. You need me inside of you. I tell you once a guy like you hooks up with me. I would ruin you. Open you Up. Wild shit would be happening behind these doors. Youd be no good to anyone once im done with you

No kidding!

Well, I'll say...

..I guess they DO strike a chord in some people's hearts, if it has reached #4.

I have to agree with you, though, Lex--they're not my taste.

Yes. How astute of you. And rock also isn't a genre because Nickelback sucks, and Bing Crosby wasn't a singer because he didn't hit the back rows. I didn't honestly think people still thought like this.

Rap isn't singing. THat's my point. Read my posts please... again.

[tombastep]

Just sayin.

[T-Rexx]

I think I love you. Does that ring a bell? That would be David Cassidy, another teenybopper. David Cassidy had a limited level of talent, but he did look masculine. By contrast, I see Bieber as the single most feminine-looking teenybopper ever.

Cassidy? Masculine????

I've seen quite a few clunkers over the years. Remember no-talents such as Tony DeFranco and Leiff Garrett? Barf! They had a following in the 70s as teenyboppers, but even they looked more masculine than Bieber.

More masculine? If you say so...

Which begs the question--why would a teenage girl want to have sex with a man who looks like a lesbian? It's not his voice that they're gaga over.

Anybody who can figure that out deserves a Nobel Prize for psychology.

The theory has long been that teenage girls find effeminate-looking boys less threatening.

[G-Lexington]

Just reread them. I stand by my (presumably ill-informed) comments.

On the same order that shuffling around a fire in time with a big animal-skin drum is dancing.

I guess a burp contest can be counted as singing too lol.

[Rickrock]

Justin Bieber is only 18 years old and is one of those people who look younger than his age. He does look feminine in some pictures I've seen of him, but he doesn't look out of place if he was 15. I think of how young Micky Rooney looked all of his life.
