A 'prodigy'? WTF

In the description for this movie they call JB a prodigy... WHAT??!? A natural singing voice is not prodigy material. Mozart was a prodigy. At 3 he was a master of the piano, and at 11 he was writing operas. JB made some lyrically insipid garbage when he was 15, and now he's prodigy material?!? I am disappointed in society. It makes no sense to me how our musical standards seem to lower as our civilization advances. On a positive note, this movie has a 1.5, so at least most people seem to recognize just how pathetic and overhyped Bieber really is.

Honestly, I'd be much less hostile in my views towards JB if he didn't come across as such a conceited douchebag sellout. He must be completely full of himself to appear on the cover of every teen magazine known to humanity, endorse nail polish (wtf!) and acne cream, and act like such a spoiled brat in every interview and public appearance he's been a part of.

Sorry for ranting. This whole thing just deeply disappoints me.

Dont be sorry for ranting. You spoke the truth.
He acts like if he had a tough life getting to where he is and that he's some sort of wonder-child.
*beep* that sheet. He got it handed to him and he has no particular talent.
John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Mark Knopfler, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven... those were real prodigies.

Bieber? He makes some shallow crap. He's just lucky to have not-too-bad looks and to have this huge commercial machine behind him that sells this crap.
