"Over 36,700 fans around the world have voted on who they think is the greatest and most talented musician of all time is. The vote was conducted by popular American music channel MTV. Justin Bieber came first with 7,092 votes, followed by Michael Jackson at a close second place with 6,872 votes. Justin Bieber is the first music artist in history to have more than 10 billion views on YouTube,"

Do you guys Justin Bieber is the greatest musician of all time?

He's not a musician. He's a singer.

I don't even think he's a musician.

whats the difference?

he plays instruments (guitar)
he makes music

how is he not a musician

Don't worry, there'll be another poll along soon with a different result.

He is so far from being the greatest musician of all time, he's barely a blip on the horizon.

Of course he isn't.

How can anyone seriously say that. After all he is hardly a Beethoven or a Mozart, is he?

Beethoven is better at using instruments, but Justin Bieber produces better music

How many people these days listen to Beethoven?
Everyone listens to justin bieber. 10 billion youtube views. sells out concerts around the world etc

So what's your take on Prince versus Bieber then ?

Timberlake is the best Justin.

This has to be a joke right? Only on DS would someone come up with this crap? Beethoven's music is over a couple of Centuries old yet millions still listen to his music. Bieber's music probably won't even be listened to in a couple of years time!

I know, the only sad part being I get the feeling they might be being serious....

Justin Bieber is great but I don't think he's the greatest artist/musician of all time.

You really should get a career in comedy, this really is comedy gold....

Since when has YouTube views ever been a measure of quality?

Plenty of other bands also sell out concerts around the world, many of them have also sold far more records than Justin Bieber ever will.

I never really listened to Prince's music so I wouldn't really know who is more talented.

Who is more popular? probably Bieber since I haven't heard of Prince until he died thats when i found out about him

OK I admit that genuinely got a laugh out of me, whether serious or not. Well done.

Hayward is the best Justin.

No, Justin Bieber produces better noise! I saw him once as a support act, half an hour of tuneless garbage!

As to quoting Beethoven in the present tense, I assume you ARE aware that he lived in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries???

Quite frankly your post and this 'poll/survey/vote', or whatever you want to call it, is nothing but an insult to the thousands of real musicians who have more talent in their little fingers than Justin Bieber could ever hope to have even if he lived for five thousand years.

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than Lennon and McCartney?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than the Rolling Stones?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than Freddie Mercury and Queen?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than Springsteen and the E Street Band?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than Jimi Hendrix?

Do you SERIOUSLY beleieve that Justin Bieber produces better music than BB King?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than Glenn Miller and his Orchestra?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than the Mowton greats of the sixties?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Justin Bieber produces better music than Nat King Cole?

The names I have quoted are just a few examples of artists whose music is timeless and will be enjoyed and remembered for years to come, whilst Bieber's so called 'music' is something that goes in one ear and out the other and is forgotten about after five minutes.

Do I need to go on?

Stop taking the piss!!!

Yeah I think Justin Bieber is better than Queen and BB King at least. Not sure about the others.

It was the likes of BB King, amongst others, who inspired many of those listed to pick up an instrument in the first place...

He's an arrogant piece of crap who saved his career with the writers he got for his latest album though sometimes the things he does and says makes me think he looks headed for a Britney Spears level breakdown.

Fair play sir. That doesn't mean i agree with you BTW, but you've got a good thing going here so keep it up.

Why not try claiming that Bieber is a better vocalist than, say, Frank Sinatra?

That should land quite well

If Justin Bieber could play trumpet better than Louis Armstrong, violin better than Yehudi Menuhin, piano better than Vladimir Ashkenazy, saxophone better than Charlie Parker, Spanish guitar better than Segovia and electric guitar better than Jimi Hendrix then perhaps he could be considered a great musician.

Otherwise, all this poll shows is the musical ignorance of the (presumably) very young participants.

The OP is just a spam bot for that site he's linking. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of this poll - also the only other thread he started also included a link to the same site.

So unfortunantly the OP is just trolling, Edward Skylover however.....

THAT'S why he's using bit.ly to disguise the links .. doh!
