I would have loved to see Bieber succeed without any help. With phenomenons like him I'm never sure if it's really them or if it's the puppeteers being smart (in this case Usher and his record label).
The internet seems to have the power to bring anyone to superstardom, but most of the time that happens accidentally or is done clumsily. What if a talented programmer with a knack for marketing took a few years off to learn how to act, sing and dance (and to get few plastic surgeries ;)) and then promoted themselves on the internet? Next time I find myself without anything to do for a few years I'll make sure to try that :) And I'm only half-kidding.
Please excuse me now, we're going on a company excursion to see this movie.

He did it the hard way (commercials, guest roles, pilots, etc).
