Subject: Is Justin Bieber finished?

Written By: bchris02 on 04/20/18 at 9:43 pm

Like him or hate him, he has been one of the most consistent artists this decade.  I also think he has done a pretty good job at evolving his sound over the years.  He started off as a teenybopper icon and evolved into a solid pop star.  He's kind of a male version of Taylor Swift in that regard.  However, we haven't heard much from him since 2016.  From what I've heard, he's been dealing with some kind of personal/mental unraveling though I am not sure the extent of it.  Britney Spears went through that in the mid '00s but made a solid comeback in the late '00s.

Does anybody think Justin Bieber will make a comeback or is he done?

Here’s to hoping that he drowns in the mud and murk of washed-up pop “stars”.
I mean, he tried to prove his ability to evolve with “Despacito”. But it was Luis Fonsi that made Despacito “Despacito”.

Uh, he's certainly not done for yet. He was the primary reason "Despacito (Remix)" became one of the biggest songs of last year, but even besides that, he was featured on plenty other big hits recently like "I'm the One", "Let Me Love You", and "2U". Purpose was one of the very biggest albums of 2015, despite being released directly after Bieber's personal dark age. Once he releases the leadoff single for his next album, people will start buzzing it up like mad.

No way, he only just got good and expanded his audience! Almost everyone my age hated him 5-10 years ago and now we love him ;D Canadian talent!

I thought he was done in 2013-14 when he started making headlines for all the wrong reasons but he managed to make a comeback in 2015 and started becoming cool among grown men.

Whether he's done for good all depends on how his next album performs. If it flops, it will probably be due to the natural fading of a popstar who's been popular for a decade.

He did have a couple of hits in early-mid 2017 with the ubitiquos "Despacito" and "Friends". Though he hasn't really had any success as a lead artist recently.

He was everywhere last year!?

He's far from finished. He had a couple of hit songs in 2017. He does seem to be a bit less active than usual though.

Fair point.  He wasn't a lead artist though in pretty much anything big last year.  As somebody else pointed out, Despacito was what it was with or without Justin Bieber.

Bieber occupied the #2 (Despacito), #12 (I'm The One) and #46 (Let Me Love You) spots on the 2017 Year-End Billboard Top 100.

Because you know he didn't release any single besides those collaborations?

It the latin community it still would've blown up without him but at far as all the crossover success, I believe Justin is responsible for that.

I mean, just look at this:

Or maybe he's just getting older and doesn't really care as much? idk.

He's apparently chilling a lot with his pal Post Malone, I guess he's just adopting his "don't care" look and attitude :p

I can't believe no one has brought up his engagement (after one month of dating) with Hailey Baldwin (hew??) :)

But just when you think he's finally got it together, he is caught wearing socks with flip flops and his fiancée (forgot her name) wears chunky shoes.

I wonder how long it will be before Stephen Baldwin tells his daughter to end her relationship with him?

Let's just wait and see how many turn up for his next concert, and the sells of his next album.
