What has happened?

For those of you who have followed my blog, you know that I have defended Justin Bieber, because he is a talented young star who seems to set a good example for his young fans. Sadly, after watching some of the American Music Awards I may be changing my mind. Bieber was wearing a chain necklace, a backwards cap, and baggy pants. Not only where they baggy, but while performing he was doing the infamous crotch grab to just enhance that “thug” style. Really?!

Justin Bieber has had the world at his finger tips since he was very young due to his hard work and he is from Canada…it is not like he is some “gansta” from “the hood.” Who is he trying to fool? I think it is awesome that someone who is as talented as Usher is his mentor, but does that mean all the sudden he has to start acting like he is a hip hop star? No, it doesn’t. Instead why doesn’t he present himself like a respectable young star?

I know that if I had young children, with Bieber’s new attitude and image, I wouldn’t want my children idolizing him. Instead of showing that he is a talented and well mannered young man he looks like a “tough” guy with a larger than life personality. This was sort of a theme of the AMAs this year. I did enjoy when Luke Bryan presented Bieber with an award, because he looked at Bieber like he was acting like a phony, which he definitely was. Lets just hope this is just a phase. If it isn’t, I think Bieber may face a lot of critics.
