What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this is another clean release from Justin Bieber, containing nothing more than one boy’s innocuous expressions of affection for his girlfriend.

Positive messages: While the messages are somewhat mixed -- for instance, Bieber talks about his girl’s appearance but later says “I’ll take you as you are” -- the general feel of the song is that the singer is simply and innocently smitten. 
Positive role models: Bieber is a good example of a teen who’s very active online (he tweets constantly and posts lots of YouTube videos) but keeps the content clean.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids

  • Families can talk about the link between music and the Interent. When artists like Justin Bieber actively promote themselves through tweeting and other online avenues, does it ultimately help or hurt their careers?

  • Should Bieber be releasing so many songs in quick succession, or should he allow more time to pass between singles?
  • What is Bieber's appeal? Do you think he will still be popular in years to come?

What's the story?

What's the story?
Fast on the heels of his last single, “Love Me,” Justin Bieber has released another new song called FAVORITE GIRL from his album titled My World. Though the two have different sounds, their themes are one and the same: falling head over heels for an extra-special girl. With no offensive language or mature topics in this track, the only thing Bieber may be guilty of is reciting an almost embarrassingly unabashed litany of traits he loves about his girl -- which includes “the coolest girl I know, so prettier than all the rest, the star of my show,” “you take my breath away with everything you say,” and much more.  

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
With three singles in a row that are about romance, the topic is growing a bit tired for Justin Bieber. Fortunately, he’s switched up the melodies so that these songs don’t all sound the same. Each one has its own appeal, including “Favorite Girl,” which centers around a cute series of “oh-oh-ohs” that showcase Bieber’s more than capable pipes.

Again, this is a failed song just like his other song Baby. So far Justin Bieber's ONLY good song is Somebody To Love.

really what justin was tring to say was that he has a favorite girl. really it sounds like he is talking about his mom a little bit. even though he said baby but really its like his mom is doing all the loving to him .
