Kid Rock: 'Justin Bieber is the new Vanilla Ice'
WENN.com ^ | JUNE 20, 2013

Posted on 06/20/2013 3:48:02 PM PDT by rickmichaels

Kid Rock is adamant Justin Bieber is heading towards a huge fall from grace, dismissing the pop star as the next Vanilla Ice.

The Cowboy hitmaker was asked his thoughts on the teen idol during a chat with shock jock Howard Stern on his radio show on Wednesday, and he insisted Bieber's fame will be short-lived.

He said, "Tell me if this is wrong. Justin Bieber... is 100 per cent like watching Vanilla Ice all over again. It's exactly the same. Well, as soon as Bieber has a hit, he'll be like Vanilla Ice.

"The kid's young. He's got some money. He's got the world in his hands. It's just kind of sad to see him go down this trajectory. It's gonna be a very long ride down. We all know the story. I kind of feel for the kid, to be honest with you."

Bieber has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent months - he was slammed for being two hours late for a concert in London in March, and has been involved in a number of clashes with photographers.

Vanilla Ice hit the top of the charts with his single Ice Ice Baby in 1990, but struggled to maintain his success and fell out of the spotlight.

He still has to do a movie.

It depends on what Justin is doing to you.

Justin Bieber is the vanilla Michael Jackson. I envision Biebs owning an amusement park and serving Jesus Juice in 20 years before nodding off from the propofol.

He misunderstood the ‘better to give than receive” thing. And chose both. I firmly believe he’s a product of the music industry version of the casting couch. Michael Jackson 2.

Michael Jackson was white before Justin Beiber was.

"[Michael Jackson] was the first black singer to become his own lucrative white cover version."
-- Mark Steyn, from the thread Beyond The Pale

Vanilla Ice made one hit song. Justin Bieber has made many more. I don’t think they can be compared. It is sad that people bash Christians like this. Both Justin bieber and Tim Tebow are so hated by those who are jealous. Justin Bieber is pro-life. Go figure that FREEPERS are bashing him.

That's hilarious. It's been a while since I had hot coffee forcibly ejected through my nostrils onto my keyboard. I don't even care, that was worth it. But the real question is: Was MJ white before Bill Clinton was black?

Since you don’t seem to be able to view any topic outside the lens of politics, I will attempt to explain this to you with an analogy that likely goes back to before politics consumed every other thought you are capable of having.

Justin Beiber’s music is bland. It is saccharine pop like Donny Osmond put out in the late 60s and early 70s. People are dismissing his entertainment value.

Its a fair cop.

Your bashing a pro-life Christian saying he is basically like Michael Jackson a pedophile. Who does that as a conservative??? Nobody I know in the eight years I have been here.

Well considering it is a political website, I suppose I am correct in responding in a political way.

Not even close.

For all his later faults and personal downfalls, Jackson really was a genius in terms of dance, marketing, and understanding the "music of the times". Bieber is a mere blip on the radar of that genius created.

My pre-adolescent girls all groan when they see Bieber merchandise. As my 8-yr-old says, "It's just GROSS that he's EVERYwhere!"

So, if I don't bow at the feet of a scrawny little talentless twerp, I am not a Conservative. Of please. He's a self-centered punk, regardless of what his opinion du jour of any topic is. Thankfully, to me, your opinion of whether I am a Conservative means nothing.

Did you really believe Britney Spears was a virgin when she said so?
