The internet is amazing, no? An obscure Korean can topple a teen idol in just four months.

Saw this on Reddit.... I can not understand why people like these artists or songs so much, but I'll take Ganganam Style over everything bieber any day, it's a fun song and so is the video! Hooray for PSY's Ganganam style! Woop woop woop woop.

Personally I think the best thing to come out of Gangnam Style was the awesome parodies. For instance, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M660rjNCH0A

I quite enjoyed watching the very white people dance in this performance...Starts at about 1:20 in...XD Al Roker surprisingly is a great dancer too. Seriously though, this looks like a fun show, way better than anything beiber does.

I'm one of those people who borderline feels physical pain while listening to bad music. Both of those songs hurt me. Haha, just kidding :) I'm not a fan of Bieber, o' course but I respect his persona...that guy seriously understands the industry. That, and he actually seems like a pretty chill person. PSY's life story is pretty cool and the fact that he's totally open about how shocked he is a (self-described) very unattractive person could top the charts, makes him sound pretty humble. Neither of these dudes had anything handed to them, they're either talented or creative so props.

"Amazing" isn't the word I'd use. More like "fickle" or "arbitrary". I really don't "get" the Gangam Style song at all. I don't understand what makes it popular, even in the so-bad-it's-good kind of way. Justin Bieber, on the other hand, is actually a talented singer, even if his fame is disproportionate to his talent.

I heard it while channel hopping on the TV and quite enjoyed it. It has a catchy beat which appeals to me.

This just in, death rate and the sale of katanas are skyrocketing simulaneously as Bieber fans commit ritual suicide. :lol:

Oh, that Bieber.

I wonder what happened to that woman who accused JB of being her baby's sperm-daddy, and who then refused to allow testing of hers and her baby's DNA. It seems the only sure way to prove her case, right?

Then again, maybe because she gave sworn legal statements, any evidence against her paternity claims might contribute to her being convicted of perjury and going to jail.

Mariah Yeater ... evidence, please?

:lol:

I only know what psy looks like because I was watching the Korean grand prix. So I don't really care.
