There is something deeply horrible about the Bieber/Baby/Ludicris video.

I loathe young talent being slickly and efficiently being digested by the machine.

There's a Corey Haim lesson to be learned here.

The only thing I don't like about Justin Bieber's recordings is the way they smother his voice with effects. Well, actually, I'm not impressed with many of the songs they've given to him either. He'll soon be 16 and so not a kid anymore. His success is mostly due to the armies of screaming girl followers which will grow smaller once his voice changes, so I can't blame him for making the most of this while it's here. He has far more natural talent than his producers allow us to hear, but that's showbiz.

Oddly enough I've actually heard of some of the current top ten. Can't say I would pay money for any of them though.
