Pop singers are like porn stars. They're told what to wear, what to say, how to act, how to dress. They sell an image.
The video's for cher lloyd 'want u back' are a great example. One is the Brit release the other is the US, same song but a different target audience.
Another example is Avril Lavinie. I've spoken with a few people who went to school with her/know her and they all say the same thing - her look and style is fake and wasn't who she was growing up.
I don't think the kid is loosing much sleep over what he wore.

I googled this earlier today, he was presented the gong at Scotia bank place, right before he went onstage,hence the deplorable outfit. Not defending the dink, just passing on what I read.
Nor am I justifying him getting it in the first place, but at least he is not in prison

Bieber? Really?
OUCH...
OUCH...

Yeah. Really. I think we need to get over this. I'm no fan of his (I couldn't even name one song of his) but he's arguably one of the biggest stars in the world. And he's what? 18? A quick google search shows that he's quite involved with a lot of charities or at least he lends his names to them. How much of this hate on is because he's Justin Bieber? who cares. The PM gives him medal because of his achievements. Good for him. The CF got the lion's share of these medals and set up its own rules to hand them out. If you are angry at the way the CF handled it fine. Other organisations got their share and are handing them out differently. I'm pretty sure that Bieber didn't get one of the medals given to the CF allotment.
It's a medal for all Canadians, not just soldiers. I think it's cool that while yeah, people like Bieber can get one but also the little old lady who volunteers her time making sweaters for seniors can get one too.
This is a commemorative medal not the freaking VC.

Though those same individuals criticizing these medals being awarded by other organizations do have valid concerns due to the CF's standard of nearly demanding a VC level of service to be awarded a QDJ medal, compared to an 18 year old singer or people who have been imprisoned. While well deserving CF members are denied for almost no service or having been punished. The complaints are justified, even if there is nothing we can do about it.

That looks like a formal dinner or event, everyone at that place is dressed up. He should have dressed up but that's comparing apples to oranges. He wouldn't get in the door to the President's formal dinner thing without a suit.

In days gone by, he would not have been admitted to his own awards ceremony either.
Standards are slipping in favour of photo ops and pandering to the masses.
Why is a formal dinner more deserving time to look good for a presentation vice
an awards ceremony?
How often in the Recuriting threads are we reading people looking for direction on what to wear
during swearing in ceremonies? Well if Justin can do it...so can we. Then those standards filter into
being allowed at BMQ and finally into normal CF routine and even mess dinners, as it becomes more accepted.

From the PM's Facebook page.
"In fairness to Justin Bieber, I told him I would be wearing my overalls too."
I foresee this being on Rick Mercer and 22 Minutes this week. ;D

It could have been Celine Dion, after all her music has assisted interrogators. Image being put in a windowless room with her music piped in.
