Ughhhhh..things like this make me really dislike him, petty as it may be.

While I don't think that's too bad, I feel like with Justin, I have to focus solely on the music. His attitude really annoys me, and while I can appreciate being confident, he seems more on the verge of arrogant.

I went on YouTube and there was a video titled #OperationBieberBlast, so I watched it, and the girl in the video was literally like "Okay guys, we have to get Boyfriend to #1! If your song is #1, then its good enough to win a Grammy, and we want that Grammy!". And Justin's been constantly tweeting "Let's get our first Billboard #1", but he's also constantly tweeting how it's "all about the music now". I don't get how it's all about the music when he's so focused on chart positions and Grammys.

But anyway, I like the song. Some of the lyrics are horrid, but it's still a good song.
 
Certainly has matured vocally, seems more confident in general. The song has sweet melodies for sure. Beiber has skill haha.

Whoever pointed out that this is basically "Wait (The Whisper Song)" was so spot-on.

Cannot be unheard.
 
He / Him / His
In case anybody hasn't had their Twitter feed invaded "Boyfriend went Gold in 1 week!1!!1! Fuck tha haterz! etc".
 
I love the chorus, but I hate the verses. It's hard to take it seriously.. "swag, swag, swag on you. chillin' by the fire while we eatin' fondue." Justin Bieber has the body structure of a 14 year old girl, so it's hard to find him attractive or manly.
 
I don't see how he is converting people with this song. Fair enough, it's less run of the mill than his past stuff, but the chorus melody (let's not even go into the """rapping""" of the verses) isn't really that special or memorable.
