I agree. BSM & AD is where he shines. He should have quit there. I will say that at least Usher knew when to quit with the whole acting thing. He realized that music & performing is what he excels at. I think it's only a matter of time before Justin realizes that too..as soon as these directors leave him alone.

And I used Usher as an example BECAUSE the time frame between his last album and this new one showed that there was no growth in him as an artist. This new album sounds exactly like his others, the music all sounds the same and it's pretty much all the same content which I get if it ain't broke don't fix it but what was going for Usher years ago doesn't really go with things now (in my opinion)

I think you just singled out Usher cause you don't like him cause of whatever he's said about Justin.

For the most part, both the critics and directors/producers he works with are pretty positive about his acting in general which is probably why he keeps getting roles. But, I think there are some fans who are against him doing any acting at all because they simply want more music and that's it. So no matter how well he does in a movie, they aren't going to like it. I understand that but, I also admire Justin for taking on the challenge of being an actor and continuing to pursue that dream even though some of his fan base isn't too happy about it.

I actually like Usher's albums so don't assume why I singled him out is for immature reasons, especially when I don't even know what you're talking about. I used him as an example because he took length between each one of his albums.

You are saying Justinn doesn't have any acting talent. That's a pretty harsh statement. I don't think he is a great actor, but I wouldn't call him talentless. He may not have excelled in dramas, but he has shown great comedic acting in 3 SNL appearances, which earned him an acting EMMY. I would give the boy some credit for that. And the critics did not merely give lip service when they praised Justin's acting in Alpha Dog. They could have teared him down, but he suprised them with a credible performance.

If his album sucks then I'll be like "oh, he sucked" There is no reason for excuses.

The production was WAY different but theres still the same content on both albums...the sappy love songs, the break up song , the dance track ........pretty much the same formula just improved writing and different production.
Ndina, Justin's the exception. Didn't you know? But yeah...what you said is true.
