...Does anyone else find him less annoying?
I used to hate it and now I can tolerate him. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME.

I never saw why people hated him in the first place.

He's always been alright for me. And I LOVE As Long As You Love Me. Have been playing it for a month straight. Dude is good!

He is transitioning into a more mature sound, a Timberlake-esque sound that he pulls off very well. I can't believe I'm saying this but I really like his current single.

Don't care. He's hardly relevant in the UK anyway... it's if you're in the states you have to tolerate the puppet.

I still think he's over-rated.

He's looking hot :P

I think because his songs are better, and also his fans are growing up a bit.

I thought the hate he got in the first place was unfair though. I can understand why people found him annoying, but for him to be basically the most hated person in the world at one point was pretty extreme imo.

There was never any reason to find him annoying to begin with, he wasn't the one that pasted his name across the globe it was the marketing machine..the mass media etc...but as Humans we're still too stupid & pig ignorant to realise this.

Now his music does absolutely nothing for me but his hate has always been completely unwarranted.

ve seen quite a few stories about him visiting terminally ill kids, and the inevitable comments about him doing it for publicity. I don't know, he actually seems quite nice to me. And I do really like one of his songs 'somebody to love'. No problem with him at all.

He looks more and more like Ruby Rose as the days go on. Even cutting his hair couldn't make him stop looking like a lesbian.

I never hated him, just his crazy fans, though I completely went off him when he was rude to that radio interviewer who was just doing his job and asking him about harry styles not getting to meet his mom. I could see if the guy made it up, but Justin's girlfriend was the one to tell the press about it so naturally they would ask. He acted like a child when he hung up on the guy after he told him his mom was dead.

I still can't stand him.

Agreed. I don't think he's as big over here so it's pretty easy to avoid him.

The only reason I never liked him was because of his "beliebers" and their stupid Twitter trends but now the 1D fans have taken over as the most annoying fanbase.

i actually like him, his new album has a mature sound to it, so i don't see why anyone wouldn't like it

Don't worry. Some medication and a short hospital stay and you should be allright..

Personally I dislike his music even more now because his voice is just horrible, puberty's ruined it and it always sounds strained, like a kid who's just gone through puberty is trying to sound like an adult with a high tenor, and he clearly can't hit those high notes anymore.

I think the reason why people hated him was because he had an arrogance about him from the word go but his management were constantly making him out to be this butter-wouldn't-melt do-gooder kid and would blame everyone but him for whatever happened. And the way he handled the baby-scandal thing, most people would've wanted that to be swept under the carpet and forget about it, whereas he has kept on talking about it and even made a song about it with the woman's name as the song title! That just makes me believe it was all planned by his management or label to give him a bit of an edge maybe and an excuse to make that song.

So true. Recorded it sounds alright, but his live performances on award shows and singing shows, etc are horrible. he mimes half the song and when he does sing, it sounds so off the recording it's ridiculous.
