Are You A Belieber?

DFO: I watched — and for the most part — enjoyed the Grammy Awards Sunday. I can understand why Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Usher, Suburb, Eminem, etc., are stars in the music industry (although they’re definitely not my taste). But I simply can’t understand why Justin Bieber is such a ha-huge star. The 16YO seems fairly pop culture in a generation that prefers hard rock and alternative.

Question: Can you explain why Justin Bieber is a singing sensation?
