I’m just going to start off
by saying that if we really think about it, it is crazy the amount of power
that Justin Bieber has over the music industry. He has over seventeen million
followers on twitter, sold out arena tours all over the planet, and not to
mention he’s dating one of the most up and coming girls in Hollywood that
Disney has popped out since Miley Cyrus.
World domination much?
After reading Stratis’ post
about Carly Rae Jepsen, I was happily surprised that Justin was interested in
signing her, and I believe that she ultimately did end up signing with Bieber.
I love her music, and I think she has a great image that will help her sell her
music to her full potential. Her single,
Call Me Maybe isn’t her first single,
although it is the one that has had the highest radio play and is currently,
today, number three on iTunes Canada. One could possibly say that it was
because of the help of Justin Bieber and his friends that created the Jepsen
frenzy. Every other station in Toronto plays her track, and its becoming well
known over North America. 
I do however disagree with
Stratis in the respect that he says “signing Jepsen may seem like a selfless
act, it is in fact a selfish one.” I never think by signing anyone in the
industry is because it is selfless or helping out a friend. The industry is all
about making money, making an image, and creating a commodity. I’m almost 99% sure the reason Usher signed
Bieber was because he was getting thousands of hits on his Youtube covers, and
the girls were going crazy over him even before he was famous. Usher was
looking to make money; just like Bieber is (even though I’m pretty sure he has
enough money to last him for the rest of his life and after life!). So good for
you Jepsen, I cannot wait to hear what will come out of signing this deal!
