"no"

>implying that bieber isn't average

>>61884294
All his songs on his supposed "most important album" are the exact same. I don't see how he can be regarded as important.

>>61884294
Beiber of his time
>>61884376
He made rock n roll popular with white people, and as a result every genre we enjoy today spawned from him giving the music exposure. We're talking an era when church hymns were considered the height of music here.

>>61884409
i'm implying he is, precisely. "or" is a disjunctive particle fyi. read the bread subject b4 posting m9. musical genius =/= biebs.

>>61884436
important in other ways than his music

FUCK ELVIS

Maybe not a musical genius in terms of songwriting, but damn he had a genius for knowing exactly how to perform any song and the raw talent to do it.

Kinda sick of you little faggots ripping on the king, tbqh

Buffoon who cared more about his image than his creativity? Definitely JB of his time, excuse how reddit this is.
That doesn't mean he's a bad musician or contributed nothing to music or society. He's just an insufferable pop musician who makes bland overplayed garbage and should never be brought up in a legitimate musical discussion.

this, neo-/mu/ is disgusting

>davis bowie is a hack

beiber atleasts contributes to the writing and music of his songs. elvis did barely any of that.

Important for being in the right place in the right time.

>bland
I honestly don't see how you can listen to his greats and find his performances 'bland'

>overplayed
and here's the meat of your complaint. Basically, elvis was so influential that he's been drowned out by his imitators, until people like you see fit to judge him by 3rd hand parodies, never looking into the real deal.

anyhow, explain to me how 'overplayed' is a valid criticism of an artists work, especially when a good deal of it happened after their death
