Just another day in this crazy world. I've never heard of this Justin
> character, so i think the whole thing has been engineered for publicity.
Even I've heard of him - and mainly listen to R4.

He is an attention seeker. He's got your attention so it worked.

Be interesting to know of any 'pop idol' like him who isn't an attention seeker. It sort of goes with the job description.

I've heard of him, enough to know I don't want to hear him.
But I'm glad this Korea thing didn't happen until my father had died. He's one of the reasons there was ceasefire first time around.

And you can hear a lot more tomorrow. Feel free to treat this like shipping forecasts. Some people go rushing to the coast when there is "bad" weather to see the waves, to surf, whatever. Others stay in bad all day and avoid like the plague.
Radio 4: Profile
Tomorrow (i.e. Monday 10th March 2013) 17:40 BBC Radio 4
Justin Bieber
Duration: 13 minutes
First broadcast: Saturday 09 March 2013
Justin Bieber, the 19-year-old Canadian pop star, is an internet phenomenon with 35 million Twitter followers. His first hit is the most-watched video in YouTube history.
He has upset fans on his UK tour by keeping them waiting before taking the stage, prompting some to suggest that the pressure of such extraordinary fame, experienced at such a young age, is beginning to show.
Although Justin Bieber came to fame as a musical prodigy, who found his audience through the internet, these days his power as a global brand overshadows his reputation as an artist.
Business is playing a growing part in his activities as he branches into venture capitalism by buying stakes in tech start-ups like Spotify.

I wish the BBC would check their facts from time to time. It was the most-watched video in YouTube history until PSY's Gangnam Style overtook it. And how did I know that? The BBC reported it.
If you haven't died from boredom so far...

No, no! I heard The Now Show this weekend and I know that once Radio 4 listeners know what's going on, it's over.
