17 Justin Bieber Quotes That Seem Ridiculous Now

In light of his recent...troubles, I thought these older quotes from The Bieb were very...interesting. I won't make any commentary on them, as it isn't really necessary. The irony is clear in each and every one of these statements. ~  JH

"I'm looking forward to influencing others 

in a positive way. My message is you can do 

anything if you just put your mind to it."

"I think that people are just waiting for that

time when I make a mistake and they're 

gonna jump on it… There's gonna be haters."

"Friends are the best to turn to 

when you're having a rough day."

"I'm crazy, I'm nuts. Just the way 

my brain works. I'm not normal.

I think differently."

"Not trying to be arrogant, but if I 

walked down the street and a girl saw 

me, she might take a look back because 

maybe I'm good-looking, right?"

"I want my world to be fun."

"Now that I'm on top, everyone wants

 to bring me down. Everyone's trying

to tug at me and take my spot."

"No one can stop me."

"I've got my eye on a few things to spend 

my money on. I've got my own bank card,

but I am really good with money. 

I don't spend too much at all."

"Young people in the business have grown up

and made the wrong decisions, or bad decisions,

and haven't been good role models. To be someone

that people look up to is important to me."

"My mind is always racing."

"Two people can look at the same 

thing and see it differently."

"I'm just a regular 16-year-old kid. I make

good grilled cheese and I like girls."

"If I can do just one tenth of the good Michael

Jackson did for others, I can really 

make a difference in this world."

"My world got very big, very fast,

and based on a lot of sad examples

from the past, a lot of people 

expect me to get lost in it."

"As hard as I've tried, I don't 

know how not to be adorable."

"So remember, this is Bieber's world.

You're just living in it. Bieber or die."

Awesome A Cappella Songs

Awhile back, I posted a collection of amazing cover songs I found while surfing around on YouTube. Well, this post is similar to that (and actually includes some of the same artists as the original post),  with the major difference being that all 10 of these songs are performed entirely a cappella – that is, without any accompanying musical instruments. Since most of these songs are also covers, I've included the names of the original artists (in parentheses). Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs With "Go" In The Title

As promised in yesterday's post, here's its counterpart: a collection of songs linked only by the fact that they all contain the word "Go" in their titles. There are a two or three songs on the list that I grudgingly included, due to the artist's popularity or the inherent, nostalgic charm of the song – you'll probably figure out which ones I'm referring to – but most of these are really good songs by talented artists who deserve their spot here. Enjoy!  ~  JH
