do you think Justin Bieber can mature into an artist that appeals beyond the pop spectrum as he ages?

it depends on what kind of career he's really set to do. I figure it might mirror the whole Patrick Stump saga; I'm intrigued by unlikely "heroes" of music... those who come in the door doing one thing, break from their comfortable setting and become more substantial as the years go on. I think Mandy Moore was actually on that path for a minute, but... ahem.

I think he has a good a chance as any considering he's shown the interest in things that are not so trendy.

though, if you really think he's going to be an all-encompassing symbol of fame like MJ, well, you know... they have a guy who can answer that:
