Justin Bieber's hold over American tweens appears to be winding down as his TV special and new album do less than expected.
Justin Bieber has been sold to us in forceful amounts, but maybe it’s not working after all. His TV special last night on NBC, “All Around the World,” was a bust. For an 8pm show aimed at pre-teens, it finished fourth out of five shows at that hour. Bieber got a very lackluster 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demo and scored just 3.3 million viewers– about half the number of top rated “So You Think You Can Dance” on Fox. It was also beaten by “Dogs in the City.”
On the charts, Bieber released a new album this week called “Believe.” On iTunes, it’s number 1, hands down. But on amazon.com, “Believe” is struggling both digitally and in physical sales. Amazon has it doing best at number 9 of all its different versions. But in reality “Believe” is no knock out hit. Hitsdailydouble.com is claiming that “Believe” will end up around 410,000 copies for the week. That seems high given that the impact is low and the reviews–if they mean anything–are not great.
Indeed, Justin Bieber is starting to hit the Britney Spears trend. His original deluded fans are growing out of their age range, and new fans are hard to come by. I have never understood how or why he was popular. At best, he’s a YouTube creation using a heavy dab of Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake. He has the sex appeal of celery. He also really doesn’t have any songs anyone knows. I defy the average person on the street to name one of his hits.
This was the Jonas Brothers’ problem, too. And look what happened to them. Teen fame is fleeting.It won’t be long before Bieber is playing the Artful Dodger in “Oliver!” on Broadway.Jacked from Showbiz 411

Hey no one is hot forever, especially gimmick tween stars
I don't get how he was hot either. He can't sing and he looks like a girl. It doesn't take much to be famous here though. A weak bus monitor just made over 500,000 for crying on You Tube.
Good. I could never stand this smarmy, baby dyke-looking brat! He needs to do a "Yep, I'm Gay!" People cover story and get it over with.
I wonder how many people molested Justin Bieber in order for him to become famous?
Should have never got going in the first place, untalented twit.
Welp, time for Usrsher to get back on YouTube to look for another lesbian-looking 12 year old.
I do agree but maybe your just not a fan he yous to be sweet and down to earth and now he is growing up in the spotlight and I think it's hurting him he is turning into a rich spoiled brat that thinks he so amazing and never has anytime for his fans I hoppe Selena dumps him
