What parents need to know
Parents need to know that My World 2.0 represents more of the squeaky clean music from the prince of bubblegum pop, Justin Bieber. The album's only crime is in its occasionally extreme sticky-sweetness.
What's the story?
Bieber's back with MY WORLD 2.0 -- the follow-up CD to the crazy popular debut album My World from the reigning prince of bubblegum pop. Though the album includes a guest performance from the decidedly adult rapper Ludacris, Bieber doesn't stray from the squeaky clean path that he forged on his first album. Like the earlier record, Justin spends every song talking about the (mostly) ups and downs of puppy love. The classicly clean lyrics include: "'Cause baby when you're with me it's like an angel came by and took me to heaven / 'Cause when I stare in your eyes it couldn't be better." It comes as no surprise, then, that the album includes no swearing or adult content, beyond a couple of benign references to kissing.
Is it any good?
Though Bieber's a bit older now, his vocal tone hasn't yet changed -- making this record sound extremely similar to the one before. He showcases the same strong pipes again here, blowing it out on a few songs in particular: "Overboard" (with guest vocals from teen singer Jessica Jarrell), "Somebody to Love," and "U Smile," the album's first single. To be sure, the end result is a little formulaic -- but die-hard Bieber fans will be thrilled about having a whole new album of songs based around Justin's signature sound.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how Justin Bieber may be able to show that he's growing up without crossing the line into adult-content territory.
While his peers like Miley Cyrus
are shedding their younger images and opting for more mature
partnerships, how can Justin also demonstrate that he's getting older
without excluding younger audiences?

Worst music I've ever heard besides Soulja Boy
This little kid has NO I repeat NO, ZERO talent. I don't even know where to start. The music (which he doesn't play) is terrible beyond belief it hurts your ears. He can't sing. Just watch a youtube video of him singing live and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. His songs are drained in auto tune and even then it sounds bad. The funniest part is the lyrics. I can't imagine him taking more than 5 minutes to write each of these (which I'm not sure that he even wrote them, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't). The reason little girls like him is because of the way he looks apparently. Although I don't see much in his looks, his hair looks like a helmet lol. As far as adult content there's none. What can you expect from a kid who sounds like he hasn't reached puberty yet?

Silly people, Justin Beiber should shut up, not continue his career attempt!
OH DEAR GOD MY EARS. I'd rather shove rusty nails into my ears than listen to that again. And notice that in the song 'One Time' He REAPEATS the line 'Imma tell you ONE TIME'. Therefor, he has told us more than one time. Perhaps we should tell him more than one time to just stop his pitiful attempts and sounding like a male. All the testosterone in the world can't help him.

I promise if you listen to this it will be the worst thing you ever heard.
I really dislike Justin Bieber. He always sings about love and I have noticed in all of his music videos he is trying to get a girl around 8 years older than him. He has not hit puberty yet, so he sounds like a girl. He does NOT have a wonderful voice, he uses auto-tune so he doesn't sound like a dying walrus with a chest infection. But he still does. Justin Bieber doesn't deserve a music career. The reason why all girls love him is because they think hes "hot." If you have a little girl who wants to listen to him, tell her there are MUCH better singers out there, for example Owl City.He uses auto-tune, but at least he sounds good with it.

Murder on music row
This kid is just another talentless prettyface that'll disappear in a few years or so. ALL he sings about is girls, and his lyrics are SO generic. "Baby, baby, baby, ooooh my baby, baby, baby" JUST GIVE IT A REST! This kid is about as talentless as an old lady who smokes ten packs of cigarettes a day. I think I'd rather listen to that old lady than this kid. Justin Bieber is just in it for the money. He doesn't CARE about his stupid fans. He also has NOTHING to offer music. Real music isn't made by having good looks (well, I think he's ugly, but most girls think he's "Hawt"). Music is made by pouring your heart and soul into lyrics YOU wrote. Not some hired anonymous dude who gets no credit for his writings. I can't wait til this guy fades away into the land of forgotten pop stars.
