The girls may like Justin Bieber, but he likes "like." On 'Late Show With David Letterman,' the preteen heartthrob was trying to talk about his upcoming documentary movie, but we couldn't concentrate on what he was saying.
Well, we couldn't concentrate on anything beyond his overuse of the word "like." If anyone tried to play a drinking game based on Bieber's use of the word, they'd be unconscious within five minutes.
See the video after the jump!
Some of our favorite sentences:
--"Right now [I'm] just kind of like focusing like on my music a lot and stuff like that's really like important to me."
--"Like most people would just think like they just put me together; some people just made me; and like I'm just like some factory like machine."
And like the one that like was like the best?
"Like, like I like only drive like at home, because like when I'm in like, like places like this like New York and stuff--" Nine "likes" and he didn't even get to finish his thought!
How can this no talent moron have his own movie when great films are sitting in vaults and cant find a distributor. This goes to show how dumb the American public is. But then again they have made no talents like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Rhianna, Beyonce and Taylor Swift millionaires. None of these people can sing a note.
I think Dave made him nervous, as Dave tends to do with people. And Justin was the first to make fun of himself, by tweeting about his overuse of "like" and "um" as the interview was airing last night.
You sound like one of the "old codgers" I referred to. You are showing your ignorance. The slang "old codger" is slang for a grouchy older person. Happy older people from the '50's, who grew up with great rock music, certainly aren't grouchy and sarcastic like you. Or perhaps you are a young misfit who resents this young man's success. Whatever you are, you're certainly not happy. Why don't you go out and dance to "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones, and start enjoying life!
Why don't you get a sense of humor and quit taking yourself so seriously. It was a joke! And if you have to keep telling yourself you're happy, you're probably not. It's called a coping mechanism. FYI, I do know what an "old codger" is and that is why I called you one - for your inability to laugh at yourself. Also, I'm not much for dancing, but I'll outsing you on karaoke any day. Though I'll take "Paint It Black" over "Brown Sugar"; it really lights up a bar.
I watched the interview also, and I agree - He was nervous and using the word "like" was extremely distracting. He is a teenager after all, and don't forget how the Valley Girls talk in California - the word "like" is constant! This is an immature teenage thing. This blog sounds like a bunch of old codgers!! He's under enough pressure already - he's "owned" by a pr machine and they are totally controling his life - using him for money. Had that experience with my ex - at the time he was my boyfriend. He was a very talented rock and roll singer who was taken over by the NY beehive crowd. He made several records, was on Bandstand and performed all over the place. They used him, ran him like a machine, and made money off of him. They took him for everything he had. I hope this young man has an honest manager. He really looked stressed for such a young kid. I feel sorry for him. He alleged to being merely a machine for his promoters, if you could get by the "like" word!!!
The kid says he is in school 3 hrs a day, 15 a week. Sounds "like" like that isn't enough. He also overused "I mean" as so many under 30's do. Seems "like" like so many public figures are overusing the "I mean" constantly. Do they think we don't understand what they mean? At least the overuse of "you know" has slowed a bit. Americans still seem as though they cannot get out a clear and simple sentence. Such as "I think I am the greatest and everybody just loves me". Which seems to be what Bieber was trying to get across. The kid needs to get over himself, the clock on his 15 minutes is running down.

HILARIOUS! Bravo for making such a succinct point. One word CAN say it all.
