Through thorns to the stars: How Justin Bieber's mom made him like this

Almost four years ago, an awww-moment occurred on the Jimmy Kimmel humor show. Kimmel invited Cody, a three-year-old girl, with her family, which had previously become famous thanks to the intolerable YouTube sobs of Justin Bieber. Last Kimmel called into the program, having arranged a confrontation for two of them. It was unlikely that something sentimental than this meeting: a teenager and a three-year-old fan embrace. Anyone who is not touched, you can safely suspect in the absence of the heart.

Although the fall of Bieber is usually characterized by the categories “saw-smoked”, an example from the same Jimmy Kimmel show, but from July 2012 sample, will be indicative. Kimmel asks the stars to read out the humiliating tweets, and Justin does it without the slightest self-irony, at the end throwing it into the camera that look. So look people who are sure that they are hated because they are jealous. Or, for example, those who know that a book of their mother will be released in about a month.

Patricia Mallett, just Patty for her, is the exemplary mother of a superstar. She got out of poverty, raised her son, directly influenced his success. Her book "Nowhere, but up: the Story of Justin Bieber's Mom" ​​was in 17th place on The New York Times bestseller list in its first week of sale. It would seem surprising. Exactly until you start reading a book. Bieber himself wrote the preface to it, and the first paragraph should be quoted in its entirety: “My mother is the strongest woman I have ever met. I always knew this, but this book reminded me how strong she was. I always admired her. - an example of a person who does not compromise and does not give up. Just being herself she inspires me to be a good person. And she always makes me be better. "

Even assuming that Justin Bieber did not write the preface, most likely he was still asked what he thinks. At the end of the preface, he recalls that he loves his mother and she is the coolest, but if you are 18 years old and the first thing you think about when talking about your mother is her strength of character, then you must assume that mother’s eggs are still steel .

Is this true? It seems yes, this steel was where to harden. Mother gave birth to Patricia at the age of 16. My father left when she was two years old, and they say he was cruel and assisted. There is a brother, a sister died at the age of five years before Patty was born, and she did not know about her existence for a long time. As a teenager, she considered herself adopted because of the gulf between her and her mother, and for the first time saw her father at 9 years old. They became close, and in a few months he died. For the first time, an acquaintance of a family corrupted her at the age of 5, after another five years another acquaintance of the family. In her youth, she was fond of grass and LSD, she even haggled a little grass, but did not get caught. As a teenager, he fell in love with Bieber's father Jeremy, and he terribly cheated on her. I tried to commit suicide. I experienced religious shock and sincerely believed. Bieber was born. She was an eminent mother. The end.

In the retelling of the language of dry facts impression is quite powerful. Hard life, real sacrifices for the benefit of raising a son. Which, like any mother who has decided to succeed at least in a child - and seemingly succeeded - adores admiration. She calls him "treasure", "work of art", her "little friend" and "her life", and once she writes directly that only Justin helped her to endure the humiliation, and her partner's frustration "turned pale compared to the indescribable love I felt for her son. " Bieber's mother had such a cruel childhood and adolescence, that compared to him all the excesses of Justin really look like teenage pranks. In the eyes of the mother, they always looked as such: he got (again, according to her) from everyone except her - teachers, church guides, and later from the Internet. “But,” she says in an interview, “he does charity work.” Or, for example, he says that he writes SMS and calls every day, and hopes that he still "sounds in a loud voice in his ears." Public enthusiasm for his child, especially when he came to success, fully embodies the American dream (although they are Canadians), and this human behavior is understandable. That Patricia Malett really thinks, only she knows, and I would like to believe that she is primarily concerned with the happiness of her child, because something is obviously happening to him.

Reflecting on what is happening with Justin Bieber, it is impossible not to go through several stages: bewilderment, a desire to convict in unquestioning muddachiyu and ultimately the unpleasant idea that he in real time teaches a whole generation of girls to accept goat-like behavior by default. After reading the book of his mother, questions to Bieber become much less - if her task was to convey the idea that circumstances were to blame for his problems, then she coped with this task. Of course, we ourselves are responsible for our mistakes, but if your mother has always covered you, justifying your every action, what behavior can you expect from a teenager, on whose head such glory has fallen? “Justin,” writes Patty, “was not deliberately disobedient. He would play pranks in a modest, almost charming way. Sometimes he got into trouble for acts whose wrongness was not even aware.” It may sound harsh, but the lack of a tendency to introspect looks like a Bibers family tradition.

When in 2008, producer Scooter Brown found a singing teenager on the ruins of YouTube, the world is not that much surprised. Everyone felt more like a mixture of dull irritation and boredom from a tattered success story - oh, another talent from the Internet, Canadian and he was 14 years old. Britney Spears already knew the charm of a 12-hour working day by this age, Michael Jackson was working out blackboarding for the whole family and music - well, is it true that there could be interesting in Justin Bieber? The combination of a pleasant appearance and an amazingly clear, classically correct voice made it possible to give it in the same form - as a virgin from a male choir with an ideal reputation and a white past. Professional music sites have made their profile, but at the same time, it seems, they pronounced the verdict: “The voice lacks strength or even any individuality. Low notes are breathing and through power. Top notes are also given with difficulty. Falsetto does not pull for a long time” .

Due to the lack of individuality, Bieber passed through more often than Miley Cyrus during her rebirth, and finally the moment came when the individual blossomed with full color. But his mother always stood behind Bieber, and when his mother stopped controlling, he got out, drunk, stubborn, and embracing a Brazilian prostitute. Therefore, Justin Bieber in no case be deported back to Canada. Let not ideal, but real, let is mistaken, kosorezit and tupit, but itself. Let him try to understand himself, and his mother too.
