I don't listen to his music. I think he's a lucky kid, I mean, when I was his age, I was over 200 pounds, way out of shape, and didn't get any girls. This kid probably has to beat them off with a stick. I know he's a commercialized, gimmicked up singer, and frankly I don't care about what he sings or not..
That being said, the people at WWE who suggested this should be fired for lack of knowing their audience.
Now, people may say that WWE is going PG and they're trying to endear themselves to the kids. Well, when I was 10, I hated the Backstreet Boys, and all the other lame ass bands that Justin Bieber is a current day example of. And most of the kids that watch WWE are going to think the same thing. I mean, people may make fun of them for liking John Cena, but at least Cena is put over as a tough guy and a fighter. He's a super hero, and that's what makes him over. But, Justin Bieber is not like that, and I can predict that this kid is going to be booed out of the stadium.
It's insane. How do these people get jobs at this company?

This would make Kid Rock look like ACDC.

Why not Jennifer Hudson since her husband works for the company and, as much as we all hate it, will probably have a presence at the show? Didn't she already sing at WM 22 when it was in her hometown of Chicago? That's why. I'm not here to hate on Justin Bieber; I don't listen to him and it ends there. I'd sooner believe they'd grab a Toby Keith or Alan Jackson than Justin Bieber; there's more logic to that idea.

Honestly? After the immediate, "Kid singer? In MY Wrestlemania?" thing passes, who really cares. The show starts. Cool video package. You go and fill up a bowl of corn chips while the kid sings, then on with the show. He won't have much screen time. He's not going to be in the main event. He's not ending the Undertaker's streak, Dude.
Is there any one aspect of Wrestlemania that matters less than who sings the national anthem?

People once saw Michael Jackson as 15-minute forgettable pre-teenage pop. I'm just saiyan.
This kid is huge right now and having him on WM would be a real booster to that 'biggest spectacle in entertainment' image WM goes for.

Which proves the point I'm trying to make. Unless you're a noted trivia geek, who really pays attention to who sings "America The Beautiful" at WrestleMania?

How do these people get jobs at this company? Not really, he's one of the biggest stars in the music business, it's a no brainer that if he's interested in doing it, you sign him. It's guaranteed column inches. In terms of detractors, he gets no more hate than Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit get.

That little crapstain's 15 minutes of fame are gonna be up any time now. I would prefer Lil Wayne doing it over him. This kid has been getting himself over with 8 year old girls sheerly through auto-tune and computer generated "beats"

Change the ages of the girls you got the same thing.

Could be worse, the stars of 4Kids could be singing it.

Michael would be rolling in his grave if he heard that. That little crapstain's 15 minutes of fame are gonna be up any time now. I would prefer Lil Wayne doing it over him. This kid has been getting himself over with 8 year old girls sheerly through auto-tune and computer generated "beats" So from one overhyped act to another? Change the ages of the girls you got the same thing. Justin Beiber mainly appeals to teen girls. At least Lil Wayne appeals to a larger range of people (not saying he should be at Wrestlemania either), most of which are men, so your comment makes little sense.

I have listened to Michael Jackson music... that includes his days when he was with his brothers in The Jackson 5... I have watched Michael Jackson perform (granted, it was only on TV, but still)... Justin Bieber is not... never has been... and never will be a Michael Jackson. I award you no points... and may God have mercy on your soul.

True that. I have yet to meet a male bieber fan. At least Wayne has some male- fans.

Probably not- Justin doesn't have Michael's vocal chops. Still, it's not that much of a stretch- he does the preteen song and dance act with the same confidence and magnetism young Michael had. (the girls go absolutely wild for him). He's not hopeless- as stated he can dance and has an understanding of music on at least some level (find the youtube videos of Beiber playing guitar). Personally, I don't care if he's a legend or a washout in five years but getting big stars on WM is only a good thing. My very first memories of wrestling were Mr. T. and Cyndi Lauper (and not any actual wrestling), so love it or hate it, it works in getting attention.

Overhyped is overhyped. Like Lady Gaga. Like Katy Perry. Like Britney Spears in her heyday.

As awful as Justin Beiber may or may not be (I'm not familiar with his work, I'm 29), nothing and I mean nothing can be as awful as the DX Band performing "America the Beautiful" at WM 14. They said they were told be horrible, but I don't think the WWE wanted them to be THAT horrible.
