Canadian star, Justin Bieber, has been praised for supporting NHS choir stars for their Christmas single after the 21-year-old launched a twitter campaign to support the charity group.
The group, who outsold Bieber by 31,000 copies with their song ‘‘A bridge over you” were neck and neck with Bieber and his single ‘love yourself ‘, when Bieber selflessly urged his fans to support them.
Bieber told his huge 72million followers ” I’m hearing this UK Christmas race is close, but the NHS choir single is for charity, so for this week its ok not to be number one, so let’s do the right thing and help them win, it’s Christmas”.His sweet gesture was praised by Junior doctor, Harriet Denver, who said ”wow, I’m speechless. It’s amazing that he has pledged his support for such good cause. I think they will light up inside. He is one of the biggest stars in the world , and for him to support the NHS service like this is fabulous
Bieber is one of the world’s most highly acclaimed artists, and recently smashed the charts with his single ‘what do you mean’. Handsome Bieber has boyish good looks and often expresses his heartfelt emotions so movingly in well thought out songs that are both captivating and soul piercing. Animated and full of passion, Bieber is a heart throb with countless female fans globally who avidly follow him. However, some of his childish antics and impulsive behaviour let him down as far as the quality of his character is concerned. This year, he had a pop at a boy band, One direction, for allegedly competing with him by releasing one of their songs on the same day as Bieber’s official scheduled release.
The rivalry has always been an integral aspect of the competitive music industry, notorious for being a cut-throat empire, yet artists need to conduct themselves with class and dignity, and not descend to uninspiring lows that may reflect unsavoury levels of jealousy and spite. Some allowance can be made for the young age of the likes of Bieber, but he needs to always remember that the high pedestal on which his music places him imposes a duty on stars of his calibre to exhibit responsible levels of maturity and common sense. The world is full of bright, responsible 21-year-olds, and such is the standard on which they must be measured.
Bieber has won several awards in America and has been listed 3 times by Forbes magazine as one of the most powerful celebrities in the world. His warm and considerate recommendation for the NHS group to be voted no 1, revealed a loving bone we must all admire and congratulate. Traces of this loving nature were reflected in his somewhat apologetic songs ‘what do you mean’ and ‘sorry’ to the former lover, Selena Gomez. We hope for 2016, he will adopt a more mature outlook on dealing with circumstances he may find frustrating so that he can have the complete image that suits a young man of his appeal and success.
