Why is Justin Bieber so popular?
The singer is still at the top of fame, he will travel to space and will come to Bogotá for a concert in October.
His music is heard in hundreds of countries and his image is just as recognized. There are many, although more many, his admirers and his fame is so great that a few days ago he surpassed 40 million followers on Twitter, becoming the artist with the largest number of fans on this social network.
Everything Justin Bieber does becomes news thanks to two great movements, the ‘bielibers’, among which are more than 40 million followers of him and those who hate him to death (who also represent a considerable number). A few days ago the singer announced that he had signed up to participate in a trip through space that is being programmed by businessman Richard Branson, the same from Virgen Mobile, who also has an initiative called Virgen Galactic.
But how and when did Bieber become the "music revolution" and the cause of swoon for thousands of rampant teenagers?
The last four years of his life have been totally insane. He went from being a relatively normal boy from a small town in Ontario, Canada, to becoming a famous artist who has sold millions of records. However, at some point the singer said “although he sounds pretentious, this was never my dream. I am simply a music lover and have had a special talent since I was little. I learned to play drums and guitar by myself, by ear, and I always liked singing ”.
The teenager posted videos of his interpretations on YouTube for his friends and family to see, because he found it funny. In an interview in 2011 he said "I never thought that what I live now was possible, I never dreamed of being famous."
Almost in just 18 months the young man emerged from nowhere and took over the world of pop. Young girls, in particular, know the name of his dog (Sam) and his favorite color (purple). But many others, still almost five years after his rise to fame, cannot understand where all the fuss is coming from.
In fact, the boy was discovered by a representative who contacted him with one of the greats of R&B. Many congratulate Usher and others curse him for having found the young promise and "jewel" of music as his fans say or the "scum" of the music scene as his detractors say.
His popularity also lies in the fact that he has an almost real-time relationship with his fans, he is a frequent visitor to social networks and the young women feel as if he is speaking to them in a personalized way. His fame is largely due to the fact that his career was born in the era of technology and he did not have, like many other artists, to take that step of transition to the internet.
What's more, since Justin Bieber was discovered online, many scouts often visit YouTube to find new stars.
But just as there are many who love him, there are many who hate him and do not miss any excuse to mock or insult the young Canadian, but ultimately, with that attitude they keep him at the top of fame.
Bieber has been involved in thousands of news stories, from the journalist who died while trying to take his photograph, a supposed pregnant admirer, to his little knowledge of geography.
To the happiness of many and the hatred of others, Justin Bieber's 15 minutes of fame still has enough seconds to go to the end, meanwhile, Colombians will be able to see him on October 29 at El Campín Stadium, in one of the stops of his world tour 'Believe'.
