Justin Bieber Party Supplies.  Sigh.  Okay, let’s do this.

First, let it be said, that I am sure Justin Bieber is a lovely young man.  I’m sure he is sweet, and polite, and humble, and just dreamy in every way.  He is not, as has been rumored, the downfall of music in America (I don’t think.)  His rise to fame has been remarkable, a true American success story in every way, save one.  He is Canadian.

He was born in London, Ontario, a mere 180 miles from where I now write this, in mid-Michigan (so  really, he is very nearly American after all) and became famous, via the internet.  Is that how you become famous these days?  Apparently so.   He recorded videos of himself singing and put them on youtube, where his catchy pop tunes started racking up major view counts.  A music studio executive stumbled across his videos and tracked him down in his hometown.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Now, you still may not know who he is, but chances are your eleven-year old daughter/niece/sister/cousin etc. does.  And if she finds out there is such a thing as Justin Bieber party supplies she is probably going to want a Justin Bieber party for her birthday.  And really, there are much worse things that she could ask for.  Would you rather she ask for a “Teen Mom” birthday party or “16 and Pregnant” birthday party?  Seriously, those are real shows, heavily featured as part of MTV’s lineup these days.  REAL SHOWS, I checked.  (America, hide your children.)   Justin Bieber is young, and clean-cut.  He doesn’t do drugs, drive while intoxicated (at least according to E Online) or fall out of taxicabs, stark naked.  Which, incidentally, is why we will not be carrying Lindsay Lohan Party Supplies anytime soon.  He seems friendly and polite. (Don’t forget, he is Canadian.)  So he gets the official Discount Party Supplies Seal of Approval, and is a solid contender for the Non-Threatening Boy Poster Gallery on your daughter’s bedroom wall.

So, maybe I won’t be going out and buying all of the Justin Bieber tracks on iTunes, that’s okay.  He’s really not singing to me, anyway!  But I can appreciate a kid who by all accounts, works hard, is nice to his fans, and seems to be a decent role model to a bunch of young people who are really, really invested in him.  Check them out on Twitter sometime, they are dedicated.  They kept his name as a trending topic for months and months on end.  Some people might consider their level of dedication a little scary, I have decided to find it charming.

I should probably leave you with a Justin Bieber song, so you can appreciate his super-awesomeness.  But I’m not going to.  Instead I a going to let you watch a clip of Justin Bieber, with Aziz Ansari, promoting the MTV Video Music Awards.  It’s funny, and I always enjoy seeing a star that can enjoy a little joke at their own expense.
