We dislike him because he SUCKS and is a terrible singer and is getting recognition which he DOES NOT DESERVE! His fans are airheads and don't know how to distinguish looks from talent, plus no other guy would want to date them so they listen to people like Justin Bieber etc. because they don't specify who they're singing about and so they imagine that they're the girls in the songs.

I don't see why people have to be such haters. He's 15 and he's singing. So what if its 15 minutes of fame...at least he's not out on drugs, knocking over convenience stores, beating up old lades at the bus stop for money or getting his girlfriend pregnant. If that was your kid, you would be proud of him and encouraging him to do what he loves. Can you say that about your job or even teen years? Jeez people
