Baby ft. Ludacris by Justin Bieber

April 6, 2010

Justin Biebers new single entitled "Baby," features famous rapper Ludacris and I really wish I had something good to say about this song, but I have to be honest, it kind of hurt to listen to it.

The song starts off with the verse "Oh whoa, Oh whoa, Oh whoa, You know you love me, I know you care, Just shout whenever, and I'll be there, You are my love, You are my heart, and we will never ever-ever be apart," which is no different from any other tween love song. Bieber didn't even write this song (look it up yourself on ASCAP), which automatically proves that he can't relate to his own music.
If the "artist" can't take the time to write his own songs, then why should we take the time to listen to it.
The chord progression sounds like it came right out of a 1950's jukebox, the kind of music that your grandpa might have listened to when he was your age, except with (what sounds like) a little girl singing with it.
This is the prime example of what is killing music today, the musicians who actually write their own music aren't getting discovered because it's too hard to get noticed with music that isn't like everything else. Simplicity is in, it will never fade away unless we do something about the fakes that tweens idolize.

Shut up Baby is the best song ever written and i can't believe you're hating on justin berber. You have horrible music taste and if you don't like this song you have no right to talk. go and hate on like Olivia Rodrigo since she actually has bad music and nobody likes her go hate on her not on Justin Bieber.

Are you kidding me? Who cares if he wrote his song? That is the most important thing in music, obviously you don't care about the integrity of the music you listen to. If you are an musician you must be able to write your own songs to become big because that is the talent behind it. Anyone can sing with auto tune (something i strongly disagree with) but not everyone can write lyrics or arrange music

It may be that i am a justin fan, but even if i wasnt i had to say this....who cares wether he wrote it or not? Think about you burtising out singing to your favorite song... you never cared if the person who sings it wrote it.. did you? exactly. Or imagine singing a heartfelt song by your favorite singer about the person you love, you didnt write those words but you most definetly mean them...right? So cut him some slack, hes a teenage boy and wether he writes it or not, he means it, and he IS a good singer.

I actually agree his voice kind of changed eveything but if you think about it listen to the words they all make sense at the end . so yeah his vocals kind of make him sound like a girl but the words to the song all make sense in the end.

16 year olds are children lol

exactly my point.

When did I state that I was modest?

Modesty is over rated, why be modest? I would rather be myself.

shelbywearsprada has a great point in the words of Peter Pan "If we're going to fight lets fight fair" if you don't like this post a comment saying why you don't like it and move on,don't keep posting that shelby's wrong and JB rocks. State your point and keep it moving

When you play somebody elses music you're just copying them, like a parrot.

I play piano, guitar, and I can sing. I also write songs, if I can do it, I'm sure this prepubescent child can.

ROFL!!! You know what's ironic? With me it's the other way around- my school is full of Bieber haters. And yet I learned the same thing- stay away from them if I don't want to die. But I think life would be a lot easier if people were just nice to each other, regardless of their taste in music. That's never going to happen, though...

We're not ignorant. You're stating your opinion and other people are stating theirs.

I'm OK at singing I guess, so that helps. I want to learn to play the guitar really badly though...

No but I wish I did. Sometimes I randomly write songs though, and it's weird cuz I don't play an instrument. Idk how that's possible but it is somehow :)

ya but if you listen to justin bieber live its not digitaly altered and real music isnt always just writing your own songs because for examle i play the cello ok so im a musician but i dont have to compose the piece to play it some one who performs music is considered to be a musician
