Nothing against the kid, its more his fans that I cannot stand. Annoying, whining 14 years olds that couldn't actually give a **** about the music or the cliché messages, only his appearance. Also, he's a poster boy for everything that is wrong with the modern music industry. Bands and artists, far,far more talented don't have a inkling of the success that he had over night, even though they could of been trying to make it for 5 years.
Those charity things as well, although very generous, I guarantee you are publicity stunts as well as charitable donations - it reflects well upon him = increase in fans = increase in sales = $$$ for big record label companies. Anyone that doesn't see that (oblivious and hormonal teenage girls) are incredibly stupid.
Again, nothing against him, just what he's 'created'.
