Personally, I don't think young Justin deserved Best New Artist, I don't listen to his music, and I'm not a fan, still, I don't think he qualifies as a turd, yet.
Try and remember your own state of mind when you were 14, 15 years old. Now imagine you were put in his position. How righteous and maturely would you have handled yourself?
Let's see where he is at in 10 or 15 years. A cheesy has-been? or a mature, interesting artist? or somewhere inbetween?
Remember, he's just a kid.
BTW, my wife and daughter went to his concert last year. He actually played instruments, guitar and drums. And we don't really know what kind of voice he'll have til he finishes puberty. I'm just saying, there are many more offensive assaults on my musical tastes right now, than annoying little Justin. Kesha? What's her excuse?
