So I took the plunge, and saw the teenage heart throb Never Say Never movie, showcasing Justin Bieber's road to stardom as a musician. Granted, besides my girlfriends and a few moms in the theatre, I was by far one of the oldest people in the theatre. But for about 2 hours on a random Sunday night, I felt like I was 16 again.
I've never been a huge fan of his music, but I will say that I was more than impressed with his upbringing in a small town from Canada, his family values & morals, and more importantly, his drive for his love of music. That child had major talent from a very young age; never forced by anyone to continue, but rather his pure gifts drove him to keep moving forward. But while that popular rising star life seems so glamorous, the movie did a great job showing what he's had to give up in his life to be where he is. I have even more respect for him now, because even I forgot how young he really is and what a different life he's living than others his age. And I will now admit, I really do like his music!
His performance at the AMA's in 2010 was one of the first songs that caught my attention, and I continue to love it to this day. Please take a few minutes to listen if you haven't heard it already. And for all the Bieber haters, I call it jealousy. Bottom line is he's one talented little individual and I hope he stays innocent & pure for a very long time.
