Justin Bieber took home three trophies at the Billboard Music Awards this weekend, proving that the world really is his oyster. He’s got youth, fame, success — what else could a guy want? More importantly, what would drive a guy to have so much self pity?
“I’m 19 years old,” the Biebs said after winning whatever the fuck a Milestone Award is (sponsored by Chevrolet). “I think I’m doing a pretty good job. And basically from my heart I really just want to say it should really be about the music, it should be about the craft that I’m making. This is not a gimmick.”
OK, a little highfalutin with the “craft” bit, but sure. And then, this:
“I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken of.”
C’mon Justin! Ever heard of “Show, don’t tell”? Begging to be taken seriously in front of millions of people is simply not a great way to earn their respect.
At least he took his shades off when he thanked Jesus.
