This seems wrong - Sharon Osbourne: Justin Bieber 'doesn't realize he's white'

[Blackstar*]

at the very least sharon osborne should explain what she means with that statement. the rest of the statement made well-taken points, she could have easily left out the race reference. but she included it in a random/not so random way. and i wouldnt mind her expanding on why she felt she needed to say it.

She has some nerve though. Maybe Ozzie Osbourne is a better role model for young, white popstars than Kanye West.

[Osbourne] left school at 15 ... and even attempted to forge a career in burglary, stealing a television (which fell on him during getaway and had to be abandoned), a handful of baby clothes and bibs (originally thought to be adult clothes, as it was too dark to see when he did the burglary); which were stolen to sell to people at a pub, and eventually some T-shirts.^[6] He spent six weeks in Winson Green Prison when he was unable to pay a fine after being found guilty of robbing a clothes shop. More...

ozzie a get royalty money from kanye's sampling of black sabbath's "iron man" - kanye used it for one of his songs on my beautiful dark twisted fantasy album. somehow, i dont think sharon know that, or if she know and still mek dem comment bout kanye, she really a eedyat.

she has this rep for being a plainspoken woman, but dat don't always mean she chat sense. to a certain degree, i'm less mad at her than at the journalist who hear the answer and never call her to explain herself.

Dem prolly nuuh follow up di ting caw is common knowledge dat Justin is a wannabe fram eva since Usher discover him- is just now him moving from following di r+b vibe to a more rapsta vibe and it aint flowing 'na mean, ma ni-TTER. Knitter, cuz I know u be knittin some sockses an caps an mittens for tha cold winters in the Tundra!!

I see what you mean, tuffstuff. Point taken about the Bieber comment.

Still, she didn't have to dog out Kanye gratuitously like that especially as her own children behave far worse and don't have a half of his talent PLUS his sample is putting money in her & Ozzie's bank account. Glass houses and all that...

naw, not giving her the benefit of the doubt on this. sharon only come across as really smart because her husband brain is so fried, and the miraculous editing of reality tv made her seem that way (although i confess i never watched the show). she is the stronger of the two, and ozzie is dependent on her - i get that. but that's it. the kanye deal a no no major ting fi broker. kanye is an experienced sampler of other people music, the only ting sharon woulda have to do if kanye people approach her fi permission is say yes or no, at most something about the amount of royalty.

and as for the bieber comment, if a dat she mean - the changing of musical vibes - then a dat she shoulda seh. in the context of what else she had to say about him, it's like beiber's general state of decline has to do with his forgetting that he is white, which is a frigging supremacist thing to say.

People used to say the same thing about Justin Timberlake. I don't recall any outcry over it...

never heard anyone famous imply that justin timberlake doesn’t realize he’s white and not black, and that’it is a huge problem and so dangerous. nope.

i've heard of justin himself wishing he were black because he related to black music a lot.

I did say 'people' used to say... didn't specify celebrity status... (although now that I've thought about it, I do recall some music types saying that Justin thinks he's black... but it was said in the spirit of teasing...)

And I only looked at the 'doesn't realize he's white' part...

I think when she says it's a huge problem, I took it to mean that it's a huge problem for her... so mi neva didda penny dat..

Look awl him tuh First he appropriates black musical culture and makes tons of money for himself then he mocks it (SNL sketch).

and he doesnt even appropriate it all that well, meaning that he gets the vibe, but boy does he need a lot of support from black backup singers and others to make his sound substantial.

Rightly so - she could not get a job on TV in England only in America --- why does she think a damn poor *** white kid from Canada is better than black Americans? She has forgotten how Beiber got his start? Beiber is young and smoking those funny cigarettes and maybe into other stuff - where are his parents or other adults in his family? He needs guidance - family so busy holding out their hands they cannot afford to help the Beebs right now. Young entertainers with lots of money getting into drugs looks like the norm now a days.
