Who in their right mind would put a picture of the mass-marketed fangirl lust object* known as Justin Bieber in with picture of the awesome German tenor Jonas Kaufmann? That's what I found on Google Images while looking up pictures of Kaufmann. He is a handsome tenor, but he also is genuinely talented (listen to this excerpt of him singing the tenor aria from Faust). But Bieber is merely a name and face marketed for the mass media. He has no real talent. Why should his picture be in with those of a person who is truly talented?

*I'm not using this web term carelessly here. Bieber is only popular because he is an attractive teenage boy, not because he's talented in any way.
Are you talking about a picture of both of them smiling at the camera together, or saying that both images come up on a google image search?
ReplyDeleteI am fairly certain Bieber does have a good voice. It is simply a different style of music than you happen to like. Mind you, I would choose Swedish melodic deathmetal over opera or Bieber any day, but that is personal taste as well. I can still recognize talent when I hear it.
