[QUOTE="Ome, post: 16903, member: 2"] Again, isn't this down to taste? Growing up, all the girls loved Wham! Duran Duran, Adam Ant, it didn't matter what they released, the fans loved them. None of these are having hits anymore, so does that mean they are no longer good? I'm pretty confident millions of Bieber fans will know his music in 20 or 40 years, just like the fans of Duran Duran, Wham! & Adam Ant fans still know their lyrics 30 years later. He's not to my taste, though I was impressed with his latest album. He's not someone I would actively seek out, so I can't give you a complete answer. I can say that Wifey wasn't happy about going to see him and while they were in the crowd she was texting me, saying she wished it was over already, and called him a real diva when the big screen announced that he takes a 20 interval half-way through his show. She went on to say that she's never known a concert where the main act takes a break. She came back and told me that he was incredibly impressive, his dancing and vocals were spot on. She also said that she totally understood why he takes an interval because he put so much work into the whole performance, even playing musical instruments. But he is releasing hitsong after hitsong. :confuse: In the last year he has had 3 number one hits, at one point his songs were in the number one, number two and number 3 position. He's had 36 top 40 hits in the UK in 7 years, selling estimated 100 million records. He has spent 101 weeks in the top ten and 283 weeks in the top 40. I'm not sure what else one could ask for.
