Any factual data on that? Or, is that just the typical "this is my opinion so it's a fact" trendy America bash garbage we see so often from other people who live in glass houses?
As for Justin, he is making a complete buffoon of himself. The kid needs some help. Instead, all he has is "yes men" who are riding on his gravy train. Too afraid to try and correct him, or dare say something he wouldn't like. He probably has a serious God complex too.
Data? Visit his Wiki page and check how many million albums he sold. But I cant really blame a 300 year old culture for being too shallow in terms of what they would define as art or music.
