Look at George Clooney. He could be massive. Or keep to music and look at Lady Gaga. A good portion of her success and "fandom" is controlled by her, and if "she gives the command", she could stop. There aren't many who have ever changed their appearance with every public showing, even David Bowie didn't go that far. She's almost like toothpaste, in that every few months, she's "new and improved" but it's the same ol' Gaga toothpaste.

Will Bieber do it? That's up to him. He's 18, this year is the 30th anniversary of THRILLER so I'm sure the media will say "is this the new uprising?" I'd like to think that by him being Canadian, he will have a different perception of things and try to hesitate from going overboard. I hope for his sake, he does. Look at Justin Timberlake, he could be the monarch but he steps away and does movies, people want him to be a member of SNL, he is calculating his work and perception, and it's working. Bieber could do the same if he gets a bit of guidance by those who will help him.

Things are different today, in that it will be up to fans who will decide if they want to keep him grounded or push him to the point of no return, like MJ. I hope for him and his fans, they will keep him in check.
