A song you liked by an artist who was under 18 at the time of recording
Monday, October 17, 2011Hmm. Which artist did I not like who was under 18 at the time of recording should be the question, honestly! For some reason, I still have a very, very soft spot for teen music. I think it's the purity and wholesomeness I like about teen pop.
You all already know that I am a fan of Taylor Swift and David Archuleta, so I'm going to just skip to someone I haven't spoken about as much: Justin Bieber.

I love "Baby" -- it's a song I love both ironically and without an ounce of irony. I also love most of his "My World 2.0" album ... it's got a ton of good pop-R&B songs. "Runaway Love" is probably my favorite; "Somebody to Love" and "Up" are also really good. But by the same token, I really, really don't like his first-ever single (of off "My World"), "One Time."
I do think his persona and fame have gotten a little bigger than the boy himself, though. He was everywhere in 2010, and I think I felt it was justified at the time. Now he's collaborating with everyone and their cousin, and none of it is particularly impressive. I think he needs to get back to making fun solo music ... that is if he's still capable of doing it. Puberty can be a biatch.
