Is it me or is Justin Bieber trying to be the next Vanilla Ice circa 1990?

[LynneSin]

Someone needs to remind Bieber that Vanilla Ice's career didn't last very long either.

1. What are you talking about? Vanilla Ice has had a decades-long career

as a has-been...

[LynneSin]

2. well I'm sure Bieber is on that path too

Kid even was arrested in Miami, which ironically is where Vanilla Ice was from.

6. So in 20 years, Justin Bieber will be building houses with the Amish??

[LynneSin]

11. I doubt that's an Amish person

True Amish do not like being filmed and made the own clothes. That 'Amish' is on tv and wearing a store bought vest.

12. It's actually an Amish person. Weirdly, there are several Amish "reality" shows.

Weirder still, I've seen the Vanilla Ice one. I was so surprised and amused I actually watched two. Mr. Ice is charmingly astonished and appreciative of the considerable skills of the Amish construction crews he spends a lot of time working with. And he has done a buttload of construction work in his life because he knows very well what he's doing. I found myself liking him, right before I dozed off. It's really dull. Sweet, but dull.

13. I still doubt the person is Amish. Maybe Mennonite

I know there was a big stink about that "Amish Mafia" store and it turns out it was a big fake. Someone violating Amish laws could be excommunicated.

7. I think, Bieber's gonna end up more like Lief Garrett

8. I have a confession

I've never heard one of his songs, ever. I plan of keeping that way.

9. I thought the same thing today

10. I just hope he doesn't end up being the next River Pheonix. n/t
