Help! I think I caught a bad case of Bieber fever

A few years back we would all collectively complain and criticize Justin Bieber. That annoying little boy from Canada, with a dimwit haircut, equally annoying mushy songs and hysterical fans who made you want to stay as far away from the JB craze as possible. But now, I’m writing this with Justin’s new album oozing out of my earphones and literally LOL-ing at a video he appeared in.

Since about a week or two it seems completely socially acceptable to think that JB is a cool kid. His new album was released which definitely transformed this former teen pop star into a hip, cool and ‘dope’ artist. His Beliebers are no longer only 16 year old girls, but he’s got grownup men and women to add to his list. His body is covered in tattoos and a six-pack, his hair is no longer swiped to one side of his face but has become some sort of platinum dream and ever since pictures of him appeared on the internet stark naked, women became even more obsessed with him, and the men, they’re jealousy became uncanny.

Justin’s little J, his rockstar behavior, excessive media appearances and his collab with Diplo and Skrillex on ‘Where Are U Now’ – that’s all he needed. And let’s not forget, his newly released album. I can no longer deny that ‘What Do You Mean?’ has become a regular on my playlist when I head to work, same goes for ‘Sorry,’ and that his album might just be played on repeat regularly.

Oh crap I forgot to mention two other important factors that have led up to my case of Bieber fever; Justin’s two contributions to James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. Watch the first video here and the second here. Man oh man, who would have ever known that this guy’s got a sense of humor too.  A week or so ago I was doing everything I could to avoid Bieber fever, but I caved. God dammit Biebs, what are you doing to me?
