Justin Bieber, Teenage Superstar was the correct "handle" for Bieber at the tender age of 16.   Why?  Because by that time, he had released "Baby," the best-selling single in the United States of all times.  And... had made the top ten list of Forbes Magazine as "one of the most powerful celebrities" worldwide.    Additionally, Bieber's songs had charted the Billboard Hot 100 with single digits in the United States and Canada and numbered ten (10) internationally.   Young Bieber was smashing records of released music everywhere!

Who Was Justin Bieber?

Justin, born in Ontario, Canada, was reared in humble surroundings by a single mom.  Mom's name is Pattie Mallette and Dad's name is Jack Bieber.  He has two half-brothers: Jazmyn and Jaxon and a half-sister named Bay.   Jeanne Sauve Catholic School provided an elementary education and St. Michael Secondary School ​issued his high school diploma.   It is reported he graduated with a 4.0 honor point average.
Initially, Justin was assigned to Raymond Braun Media Group, a joint venture between Braun and Usher.  Later, he signed with Island Records, which released his first single called "One Time."  Young Justin's "leap" into super stardom was fast, yet secure.   The road did not have customary rocks, curves and boulders.

Success is the Word

Life and Justin Bieber: Teenage Superstar

Worldwide, Justin and law enforcement have had several clashes.  In 2012, he was accused of reckless driving; he was charged with vandalism in Brazil in 2013; and was arrested in 2014 on suspicion of drunk driving in America. 
The drunk driving fiasco prompted 270,000 Americans to sign a petition requesting his deportation.  That petition went nowhere.  Apparently, drunk driving is not a basis for deportation in this country.

What is Apple Music?

​With all of the Spotify "mental clogging," much of world has lost sight of Apple Music.   It is a music, audio and video streaming service developed by Apple in 2015.  Wow!  That was seven (7) years ago and in the information world that we live in, that could be construed as old.  But most Apple users know that Apple does not let any "grass grow under its feet."  That streaming service includes three (3) internet radio stations that broadcast in over 200 countries 24/7.  So, my dear readers, Apple is not old.

Have you ever had this feeling?  That you are alone in this world?  A feeling that no one cares . . .

Fear of being alone makes people do things they would not ordinarily do.  Once the fear subsides, they wonder how they could have done such a thing!  

 What Drives Fear?

Healing Fear of Being Alone

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:  I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10)."  

Have You Asked the Question?

"How precious is the love of the person I hold dear?"  We ask you: "Are you taking her/him for granted?"  If you are . . . one day that person may not be there for you.  Duane Parham obviously thought about what it means to have a "precious love" for him to "cover" the Marvin Gaye/Tammy Terrell version of "Your Precious Love" and . . . make into a video.   Presently, it has over 10,000 views on Youtube.

Five Things to Know About Lamar

Answering - "Kendrick Lamar: Who is He?"

Career Highlights

Some of Kendrick's song hits are: The Heart Pt. 2, Keisha's Song, The Recipe, Hood Politics, P&P, R.O.T.C. and She Needs Me.  A list of his awards and successes include:
​

Now You Can Answer:  Kendrick Lamar: Who is He?

Chuck Arnold refers to Lamar as "the truth-telling voice and consciousness of hip-hop."  My experience in the rap world is limited.  Therefore, I cannot dispute that analysis.   What I can say is, researching this man has been an informative and exciting journey!   He is inspirational, intuitive and "tuned-in" to America's (problem) cultural issues.  We need all three.

Finally, after a 5-year hiatus, Lamar burst on the scene in May 2022 with the album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers."   If it follows the history of Lamar's music, it will be a success.   However, as a biblical reader and writer, the album cover gives me pause. . ..  So, I ask, "Is the crowned head of Lamar symbolizing the suffering of Jesus Christ?"  And . . . is the woman holding the baby trying to relive what it means to hold "the baby in a manger?"
