WHO IS JUSTIN BEIBER?

Hola everyone!
I hope your week is going good?
Did you get some spare time to listen to some good music?
Yes? No? Maybe so?
Hmm. I wonder.
So what's on the menu today?
I am in between on this one, I am going to have to coin a new rating, let's call it 'snacky snack' and it will be
*** 3 stars!
I teach music to a mixed class of kindergartners to 5th graders at a summer camp.
So, this day, I power up my laptop so we could go on YouTube to listen to the different styles of music we just talked about.
And all the girls are screaming 'Justin Bieber, Justin Beiber', Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Ms T.
They look in horror at me when I ask "Who is Justin Beiber?"
I see why. Justin Beiber, a 16 year old Canadian R&B/Pop singer who sings a lot about girls and love, (strategic audience right there) is hot cake among tweens and teens!

Talk about the power of New Media, YouTube played a big role in shooting him to the stars. He is signed under Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a label partly owned by Usher. He has collaborated with other popular R&B, Pop and Hip Hop artistes. With his voice going through puberty transformation, he is still on a high demand for features, shows and concerts.
His 2009 single 'One time' topped the charts in many countries. It seems to remain a favorite even now. The lyrics are basically talking about the usual boy meets girl, butterflies flying and all that 'gooey' stuff. The catchy hook says: "Me plus you, I'ma tell you one time...Girl, I love you..."

This menu? It's just OK. The lyrics are right for the audience it targets, the music, well produced I must say. I will probably attempt to be a little sentimental and give it a 3 star 'snacky snack' stamp. Is that because my teenage days are way way gone? Maybe so :0).

If Music be the food of Love, you know what to do!
