best fanbase ?

As to this story, it's just some tabloid fluff, and who's to say what a "best" fanbase is anyway?

As to Beiber, the kid is not untalented, but I don't see him having much of a career at all in a few years if he keeps going down the road he's on. I don't know if he's "acting out", or what, but I sense trouble there. Sad, really.

Agree with all your points.
I don't understand how some of these artists leave the ground / reality and never seem to come back down. He's heading in the same direction as Michael Jackson in some ways but with less talent, less respect towards his fans and more hype it seems to me. He's probably more of a manufactured and suitable product of the era we live in than anything else I guess.

I can understand the parents who got mad at the late arrival and subsequent late show at the O2 in London. Certainly if my child were a Belieber () I'd probably try and encourage him or her to look further and at some more interesting music if such a thing is at all possible to do (I guess I will find out!).

How do we know what he was going through? We should respect that unless we for sure know different. He has earned the right. As in his right, only he knows how it made him feel being attacked physically. To judge his status as a "trouper" seems derogatory and hurtful. Who knows how he may feel if he read this?

I saw that clip last night on the news. I don't remember hearing the vocals, but I don't think you can knock over a grand piano so easily. Lol I have a small upright and it weighs a ton.

Not only did the vocals keep rolling but nowhere on the "live" audio can you hear him falling to the ground or the piano falling over, must have a psychic sound engineer lol

That piano looked awfully light. Even if it was something like Justin plays (frame + digital keyboard) even then I would expect things being pulled apart (cables etc) a bit differently. It really looked like a for visual only prop to me. Interestingly the fan didn't attack Justin. I think he just wanted a hug or so. The security caused things to tumble about like a fecker.

I'm not saying that he has absolutely no talent, but does anybody truly believe that he's singing and playing the piano at the same time?

I'll back up a little bit, does anyone thinking that he's actually singing live?

Just realised I should clarify. The first Justin was Justin Avery justin case someone would confuse it with the other Justin. Justin case.
