Brush your teeth-er with a Bieber

         17 year old Justin Bieber makes history as being the first celebrity to have his own dental care line. Talk about ridiculously awesome! 

       You heard it right! Justin Bieber is infiltrating the world of oral hygine. He's killing the nasty germs inside mouths with his music. That's right: HIS MUSIC!  Brush Buddies, a company that makes kid friendly oral hygiene products, has developed a special Justin Bieber tooth brush collection geared towards children set to release this July. The company  even made some adult sized non musical tooth brushes as well! I mean, you can't forget about those fantastic cougar moms out there that love the Biebs just as much as their hormonal teenage daughters do. Now could you?

           A glimpse at Brush Buddies' ''Justin Bieber Tooth Brush Collection''. The collection includes floss and flossers.

    Brush buddies made two Justin Bieber musical tooth brushes.  The brushes are currently being presold at $9.95 on the Brush Buddies website. The songs play for two minutes and each of the two musical tooth brushes come programmed with a pair of his most popular hits. One toothbrush includes the uptempo  ''Somebody to Love'' and ''Love Me'' while the other brush comes with the more laid back  ''U Smile'' and ''Baby''. According to JustinBieberToothbrush.com, the toothbrushes are designed with Dupoint Bristle heads for easy cleansing and coated in extremely soft rubber for kid friendly use. In addition to the tooth brushes, the line also comes with JB floss, flossers and travel kits. It's like so totally bieberiffic!

                                                A closer look at the two musical toothbrushes!  

        It can be fair to say that Brush Buddies did a smart thing by creating a Justin Bieber dental care line.  The kid is a cash cow. Put his face on just about any kind of product and it will fly off the store shelves. I think the fact that Justin Bieber has his own tooth brush line goes to show that his Bieber fever won't be fading into oblivion anytime soon. His brand is getting stronger and stronger by the minute. Way to go Biebz! Way to go! Most of all, way to go to the genius marketing people at Brush Buddies. You guys really struck gold with this idea.

The Plague is no match for The Fever

 

Rebecca Black, 13, tries to become the next Justin Bieber via YouTube. The thing is she just totally sucks and has absolutely no musical talent. None, zip, nada. Sadly lightening can't strike twice no matter how rich your mommy and daddy are. The ''Black Plague'' is no match for the ''Bieber Fever''

Money can truly buy you anything in today's world. It can buy you a nice car, fancy clothes and even millions of views on YouTube. The only thing that it can't buy you: genuine fame based off ACTUAL talent. You either got talent or you don't. Case in point: Rebecca Black. 

Black, who hails from Anaheim Hills, California, became an overnight YouTube sensation with her obnoxiously catchy ''Friday'' music video. The video, which debuted on YouTube in mid February,  reached new heights after it was launched into an all out social media frenzy in early March. The video was  tweeted, facebooked and blogged about by literally everyone and their mother.  From tweens to senior citizens, Black's video garnered 2.8 million views the week of March 11 alone. To date, the video has over 100 million views. The reason for all the hoopla is simple. The video is like a extremely entertaining train wreck disguised in the form of a amusing cheesy pop video with loud annoying colors, awkward pre teen dancing and an hilarious  overdose of autotune. You know you shouldn't be watching yet your eyes are fixated and you just can't turn away. The fact that the song has scholarly lyrics such as ''Yesterday was Thursday. Today is Friday. Tomorrow is Saturday. Sunday comes afterwards. '' makes it just that much more painfully addictive.

 Black's attempts to sway people to be apart of ''The Black Plague'' with her horrendous pop single. 

The song and video for ''Friday'' was created by Ark Music Factory. Ark Music Factory is a LA based music company that churns out 13-17 year old bubble gum pop singers who aspire to be the next big thing. The label currently holds a roster of around 12 teen singers, all of whom have their videos uploaded to YouTube but are seldom viewed and overall hype pales in comparison to Black's. It has been reported that Black's parents paid Ark Music $2 grand for their daughter to make the song and record the video. It can be fair to assume that both Rebecca and her parents saw the magic Justin Bieber had from YouTube and truely wanted to see if lightening really could strike twice and make their daughter a  bonafide star. The bottom line here is Bieber's got talent whereas Black's voice brings people to tears. Take this as a lesson learned to all those other parents who aspire to push their children down the same route Justin Bieber took on YouTube. It's really a hit or miss situation. Just make sure your kid has at least somewhat talent. One ''Friday'' is enough. We REALLY don't need any pop videos celebrating ''Thursday'', ''Monday'' or ''Sunday''.  We could do that on our own just fine. I'm sure Justin Bieber himself would agree as well.

New competition for The Bieber Fever? I think not. 

Bye Bye Black Plague. Your 15 minutes are officially over with my dear.

Dreams do come true when you 'Never Say Never'

         Sixteen year old Justin Bieber fullfilled every YouTubers dream of getting their big break when Music talent manager Scooter Braun discovered his YouTube channel in early 2008.  A  preteen Bieber was rubbing arms with R&B singing sensation Usher shortly after. 
   
       YouTube.com aproximates that 100 million YouTube videos are posted to the site daily.  With a number that big, the odds for a young 13 year old Canadian boy to be discovered by a popular Music maganer is slim to none.
     The phrase 'Never Say Never' is far more than just the title of Justin Bieber's recently released 3D biopic.  It's the saying that easily puts his entire music career into perspective. Justin rose to the superstar status he's at today with determination, hope and a undying dream on one day making it big.    In early 2007, Bieber's mother  Patricia uploaded videos of her son covering pop songs  from the likes of Chris Brown, Brian McKnight and Usher (who would ironically end up playing a big role in Bieber's career) . Less than a year later, Bieber's world would change drastically when Music talent manager Scouter Braun stumbled upon Bieber's YouTube channel.

A 13 year old Bieber covers Chris Brown's 2007 Hit 'With You' on his YouTube Channel in early 2008.

      

     Braun, who had worked with artists such as Ludacris, Britney Spears and *NSYNC, saw immediate potential in Bieber's star power and raw talent. Braun was quoted as saying in a February 2011 Forbes.com interview that what sets Justin apart from the rest is the mere fact that Bieber began building his own brand far before he obtained his big break. ''There’s a sense of discovery and a sense of ownership. The kids found him. They didn’t find him on the radio; they didn’t find him through Def Jam, or even through my recommendation. They found him by us simply letting him introduce himself over the internet, like any other teenager would. They built his brand through word-of-mouth,'' Braun states. It was through Braun that Bieber would meet Singer Usher Raymond and ultimately be signed to Braun and Raymond's Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG).
