I listened to the song through, and it isn't by any means top-of-the-charts material. But I was intrigued by its reminiscence of Michael Jackson's Billy Jean (which is a much better song...but then, how could Justin ever compete with the King of Pop?) Compare and contrast the lyrics:
Justin Bieber:
- "Maria, why you wanna do me like that? That ain't my baby, that ain't my girl."
- "Now she's in the magazines, on TV, making a scene...and she's all over the news, saying everything but the truth."
Michael Jackson:
- "Billy Jean is not my lover. She's just a girl who says that I am the one. But the kid is not my son."
- "She told me her name was Billy Jean as she caused a scene, and every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one."
And they both fade out at the end...
"Billy Jean is not my lover...Billy Jean is not my lover..."
"She ain't my baby, she ain't my girl...she ain't my baby, she ain't my girl..."
Maybe Justin should be looking out for himself, with videos like this one going viral:
And my whole point to this post is...people are crazy. And this kind of stuff becomes wildly entertaining when it's put to a catchy beat.
