How many times are we going to see this specific comparison?
this.
It also misses the point that a song’s writer(s) write more than just the lyrics, so just comparing the lyrics doesn’t make sense. Still sad that Justin Bieber needed that many writers, but just sayin’.
It really wouldn’t bother me so much if Baby had only 1 writer. Any team of 5 people can do better than baby baby baby O
On the one hand, I -want- to agree with you. On the other hand, “Baby” is en route to become the first YouTube video to break 1,000,000,000 views. So those five writers did… something. I’m just reluctant to say it was right.
They didn’t do anything new…
The problem is the generation it’s getting launched on. Queen was huge because music was good back then, but unfortenatly no internet.
Now music is sh!t, and Justine Bieber is huge because she has millions of virgin teenagers and kids supporting her, and unfortenatly Internet.
Haha! She
I’m sure the five writers knew they were taking advantage of the situation. That’s all.
what about the dislikes on youtube?
This ^
Queen; Bohemian Rhapsody:
31,350,305 views
156,069 likes, 2,341 dislikes
Justin Bieber; Baby:
707,013,389 views
1,106,422 likes, 2,300,361 dislikes
So… Queen has 66 times more likes than dislikes, Bieber has more than 2 times more dislikes than likes.
The only thing I’ll always say the older generations did better than the younger is music. Period.
There was plenty of s****y music back then, too.
but that crappy music received nothing.
The views are that high not because he’s good, but because he’s loved and hated.
Yeah he is. Regardless of your side, he brings our your passionate side.
What?
Not really. He’s just really annoying, with really stupid fans. If by by passion you mean hatred, sure.
Passionate side? The only thing I’m passionate about when I hear him is leaving the room.
Well… and getting blackout drunk, thanks to the depression caused by the state of contemporary music.
So basically you’re saying: “Eat sh*t, because all the millons of flies can’t be wrong”.
My God you are dense. I’m saying that five writers exploited the public very well.
Studies show pop music appeals to the same part of our brain as drugs and alcohol. It’s not good, it’s just crank.
so what that a song writer does more than just write lyrics? Even if you compare every element of that Bieber song to Bohemian Rapsody you still come to the same conclusion: Bohemian Rapsody is a well written song, and the Bieber song is complete and utter crap.
They write the notes and the lyrics.
So not just what they say but also the tune
Anyway they seem to be doing it right, Justin Bieber’s songs and albums sell like hotcakes and that’s only people who like/love to listen to him.
We can all be jealous as much as we want to, the fact of the matter is, Bieber is one of the biggest selling singers out there right now…
All for just singing a repeated set of words over and over… not too shabby
^ This made me cry. You, sir, are an ass. You forced me to face reality…a horrible truth. Justin Beiber IS famous and people DO like him.
Im scared
^ this made me lol. reality is harsh bro
If you want to be scared, take into consideration that these are the same people that vote, if not today, eventually,,,how we’re all still here is the most amazing part.
That makes me want to start stockpiling ammunition and canned goods. D:
^this made me LOL hard enough to have my coworkers think I’m crazy.
It ain’t jealousy, just solid truth. Bieber is a no talent hack. Queen had great songs with lyrics that you had to learn to sing along. Bieber has much simpler songs for the mindless drones that follow he/she/it.
It also misses the point that the two products (please excuse my capitalist bent) are targeted at completely different audiences, in completely different markets. Typically, to my understanding of the marketing involved, pre/early-teenage girls of the 2000′s-2010′s would be less likely, per purchase, to select music based on depth of content, and would tend toward catchy and repetitive tunes, generic romance-oriented lyrics and a bloke who looks their age, whereas Queen’s audience were late teens and young adults who in the 70′s were searching for new and more insightful qualities in their music. Or such is my understanding of the culture – I was born in 89 so I can’t really speak beyond the numbers and anecdotes.
TL;DR – They’re each successful and effective examples of marketing done right. And when you consider the breadth of the market Bieber is up against, it makes perfect sense to have a big team adjusting his music to best win that market.
this
No, the point is that Freddy Mercury wrote songs to make art. justin beiber, the company he works for, his producers, writers and everyone else is after money.
That is the difference. That is why one is great and one is horrible.
SOMEONE I AGREE WITH.
Thats, almost, exactly what HE said.
“TL;DR – They’re each successful and effective examples of marketing done right. And when you consider the breadth of the market Bieber is up against, it makes perfect sense to have a big team adjusting his music to best win that market.”
Translation: More writers, more experience, more knowledge, more tactics. Tactics to better “win that market”. Win that market is more sales and more money. And its just ludicrous to dismiss the cultural changes since that time. Besides; nbrayne never mentioned on the musics quality comparing to the other. He simply complimented on why Beiber has more Writers then Mercury. and how, in the 70′s, people took a great deal of value in enhancing how they play music and make music. This generation sits on the shoulders of giants, and use their creations to make music like Justin Beiber, thats the difference. Our generation, atleast not musically, dont experimented. We dont try to became better and more accomplished and to create something new. We dont wanna benefit the future generations like Hendrix, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, the Beegee’s, Muddy Waters, Queen etc… did. We wanna serve ourselves NOW. And use the knowledge and experiences that have already been created. Thats it, thats all.
He was commenting on the Writers, the society, and the mindset, the Zeitgeist of both generations. Not the musical merit of the writers themselves, or their inspirations… well other then the money thing.
That being said, I wouldn’t say that their aren’t any innovative and original musicians in this generation. They are there, they just aren’t selling as much because, as has been stated, they are producing for the “art,” rather than the profit.
Honestly, the same delivery method that Bieber uses (internet in general), has also allowed many smaller (and sometimes brilliant) indie bands to get their content out there to those that will appreciate it. Back in the day, they would not have had the chance.
So there is a silver lining, as long as you’re not so hipster-phobic as to let them ruin the indie music for you (which would be sad).
you’re missing nbrayne’s point as well, he’s not highlighting which is better, he’s highlighting WHY it was popular during their respective times. you’re essentially trying to group all the comments into yay or nay for bieber
It show it took 5 people to write a song composed of one word, yet a normal song written by one person with multiple words.
Yes, but as I already pointed out, the writers did more than just write the lyrics. Seems people are misunderstanding the meaning of “writer” in this context.
Yeah, because the instrumental work, melodies, layering, beat and rhythm in ‘Baby’ are all so great and make up for the shockingly bad lyrics….
THIS^
I’m astonished at the number of comments regarding the fact that the writers write the music too. You are high if you tell me that the music in “baby” is better, and was harder to compose than the music in “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Thank you and have a good day.
Well in 1975, a single person could have come up with several clever examples, but now it takes several people working in concert just to say the same thing over and over again.
interestingly enough, Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” was written only freddy mercury while Justin Bieber’s “baby” took something like 5-6 people working together. True Story._______.
wait… wha- did you even look at the picture?! That’s what it says up there -_-
we will see this exact comparison until the music industry get’s over 20% cooler
tldr
as many times as it takes… and until the world does something about it!
I love Queen ;_;
From an ex hardcore Queen fan: Are you like 13 or something? Freddie Mercury was a monster on stage, and Brian May is a very good guitarist, and Taylor and Deacon are okay too; but the music they made sucked most of the time. Anyone who’s explored them beyond A Night at the Opera and Greatest Hits I + II can confirm that.
This 100%. People seriously need to just broaden their horizons a bit. There are countless bands who did the same thing as Queen only loads better. Not to mention the deluge of great bands/artists that have appeared since then. Spotify is your friend.
THIS. A pompous, pretentious, occasionally brilliant prog-rock band: an unlikely favorite of angsty, slightly unwashed tweens.
“i love queen” spawned all that, eh?
SInce you saw FReddie Mercury in concert that makes you about 45+, right? But you are still ridiculing random people like a 7th grader suffering from severe acne, eh? You’re going to have to get over it, man. They are just face scars, ya know. Heck, the artist known as Seal landed one of the most beautiful woman in the planet, so you can get lucky too.
Hey now, calm down. This is the internet. We all have anger issues, and the best time to unleash them is when there’s no face to go with the fake name. I’m sure you do it too.
lol seriously
Way to completely invalidate your point…
I don’t know what you’re talking about; Queen II was awesome; Ogre Battle, March of the Black Queen etc.
the musical quality and genius of queen is unsurpassed by any other band in existence ever. while they are nor by any means my favorite band, they deserve a great amount of respect.
It’s like I say – there are two kinds of people in this world: Queen fans, and future Queen fans.
Past fan here. Still like some of their songs –mainly Don’t Stop Me Now, Some Day One Day, Man on the Prowl, Sleeping on the Sidewalk, among others– and I respect them as the music I used to listen to obsessively in my teens (I’m 30). But people, get real. There are at least fifty bands better than them.
Twenty, I’d stipulate. Thirty, I’d give you the benefit of the doubt. But even allowing a huge margin for subjectivity, I’d love to see a list of 50 better rock bands.
In no particular order:
1. The Velvet Underground
2. The Beatles

AAAAAAWWW YYYYEEEEAAAAAA
Oops, just saw you said rock bands. Okay, ignore all jazz, funk et al. and there’s still some 30 rock bands I personally consider better than Queen.
…The White Stripes are on that list? Seriously?
Son, I am disappoint.
^this that up here^
Radiohead ƒuck yes!
Where’s AC/DC?
I would agree with you, except but I think there are other bands that have comparable music quality and genius.
yeah. except for pink floyd. and some other bands. but mostly pink floyd.
I liked their album…ohh what was it called…oh yeah…THE GAME
LOL hadn’t lost since yesterday. Thank you, Schluppy.
I felt betrayed when I saw that album. Et tu, Freddie?
so what? if somebody loves queen… opinions differ, at least they were better than freaking bieber with is childish girl voice :p
Hey now! I’m 14 and I like Queen. Silly stereotypes.
if most of the time their music sucked, how in the hell did they make like twenty beautiful songs? explain that.
This this this. I was a pretty big Queen when I was about 13. Now only four years later, the only Queen albums that I really like are Sheer Heart Attack and A Day at the Races. A Night at the Opera is pretty decent too. Queen II, The Game, and Jazz are pretty sub-par in my book, and most of the rest of their albums are just terrible.
anyone with any taste in GREAT MUSIC loves QUEEN!
Seriously, what is it with Queen? They weren’t that great.
Queen: LIKE A QUEEN
Justin : ULTRA GAYYYYYYYYY!
Both Freddie and Justin were/ar gay, Biebs just haven’t realized it yet.
Are*
Yes, because comparing Justin Bieber and Queen is totally okay.
I was about to say the same, I like Bohemian Rhapsody and Queen, but:
1. Comparing them is like comparing a Ferrari Vs a Sandwich
2. Bohemian Rhapsody also have a lot of weird lyrics.
speaking of sandwich…
I love you.
but I like sandwiches
Look at all the tiny itty bitty men, running from sandwich. What’s that sandwich? Kill them all? GOOD IDEA!
Bologna is perfect fuel for killing tiny cowards!
1976 Disco Duck:
(Ah, get down, mama)
I’ve got to have me a woman, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Disco, disco duck
(Got to have me a woman)
Disco, disco duck
(Oh, get down, mama)
Try your luck, don’t be a cluck, disco
(Disco)
Disco
(Disco)
Disco
Disco
Disco, disco duck
…..sooo, what’s the point of this meme again?
That both of the artists in question were (Or are) in the closet?
^^^This
oh, come on, don’t be pickin’ on Disco Duck
I get what you’re trying to say, but the comparison fails. “Disco Duck” was intended as a novelty song/genre parody. Biebs is marketed as a straight up pop star.
^this up here
B¡tch please: Silver Convention, “Fly, Robin, Fly” (1975–attention, same year as “Bohemian Rhapsody”)
Fly, robin, fly
Fly, robin, fly
Fly, robin, fly
Up, up to the sky!
Fly, robin, fly
Fly, robin, fly
Fly, robin, fly
Up, up to the sky!
Fly, robin, fly
Fly, robin, fly
Fly, robin, fly
Up, up to the sky!
Of course, the existence of one silly song cancels out the existence of a well written one…
Ugh. Get over it, folks. There’s nothing wrong with Justin Bieber. He’s a cute kid, and he has some talent. Just because he’s young and his music isn’t sophisticated doesn’t mean there isn’t room for him in the world.
CLOSET BIEBER FAN DETECTED
While I’m not sticking up for the belieber, that’s a bit much coming from a brony.
Closet Brony detected?
there are no closet bronies, the magic of friendship makes them come out immediately
OPEN BRONY DETECTED
FIRE ZE MISSILES!!
but i am ‘le tired’….
I cried… :’)
I’m definitely not a brony. But I just think they’re funny. I used to play with MLP toys when I was a kid, *hipster mode activated* before it was cool *hipster mode deactivated*.
Detected? you 2 funny
Imagine Bill O’Reilly trying to explain what Bronys are.
What are they anyway? They’re all over the internets…
Brony [ˈbrɔnɨ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krzyżanów, within Kutno County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) south of Kutno and 40 km (25 mi) north of the regional capital Łódź.
The village has a population of 80.
Oh… now it makes sense.
^^ For this, you win the Internet for the day!
I find you lack of love and tolerance disturbing.
It is now clear to me that 90% of people posting on all Cheezburger sites are bronies.
Or in other words : there are still 10% non-bronies here !
Love and tolerance =/= letting yourself get stepped on by Bieber fans. Most (if not all) bronies dislike Bieber.
Phasers locked, Captain.
hey, you must be new to the internet. Let me give you an introduction to memeblogging.
Any celeb that is undeservingly famous will recieve a constant, flaming amount of 7th grade ridicule by the millions of haters on the interwebs.
Also, cartoons that air comedy central will always be considered funny meme material, even if the show itself is completely garbage (futurama).
This^ there is a lot of hating on Bieber that seems to be mostly unjustified, which is quite surprising considering bronies are supposed to be compassionate… But maybe it’s not us doing the hating. Still, JB has made some pretty awfull songs, but so have most bands or artists, even Queen, he’s just fresh meat, an easy target.
However, there are some preeeeety funny cartoons on Comedy Central. Have you ever heard of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack? It’s weird enough to have a certain Monty Python flavour to it, throw in slight profanity and mild violence and it’s an adult show.
AND in all honesty… I like Futurama, especially the new season. But hey, you can say anything you like so long as you stay away from my damn Ponies. Seriously my friend, our vengeance would be unrelenting. You’d be so loved and tolerated, you wouldn’t know what hit you.
That last line did me in. Well played.
INSULT MATT GROENING WILL YOU??? CHOP OFF HIS HEAD!!!
I’ll show ye…
Robots don’t say ‘Ye’…
Pedobear is that you?
Someone needs to learn the meaning of the word “talent”.
He can play drums and guitar, but in his music he doesn’t because he is paid not to
finally somepony who says something that does involve justin bieber and sounds completely rubbish. thanks for the smartness
but I guess you’re right.
One does not simply shut the hell up!
except he really doesn’t have talent. His singing isn’t musically correct. As in, he would probably fail out of an intro music theory class because he can’t stay in key to save his life, he sings from the nose, etc.
I’m becoming convinced that the more writers a song has, the worse it is
seems like it, huh..oh, and, umm, FLUTTERSHY RULES!
The more *rappers* a song has, the worse it is.
Yes, because writers only write lyrics and because lyrics are the only way to judge the value of music (see: classical music).
Incorrect, since the point of most songs(now), excluding instrumentals, focus mostly on the lyrical portion of the song. Last I checked, most song lyrics told a story, and, be honest, if the story was repetitive and not clever, would you actually read it?
Have you ever listened to metal?
In the past this was true but now songs are just made to get stuck in your head so you want to hear it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, until you can’t stand it and they make some more songs. Todays music is disposable garbage.
To a certain point, art is nothing but repeating patterns. Be those made of sound, paint or clay, the ability of these patterns to induce feelings in the target audience defines their quality. Just like those happy colored characters on the kid channels that glues children on their seats.
But there are two differences between 30 years ago and now.
1. Publishers have statistical marketing tools to engineer their impact on the population.
2. The internet destroyed the barrier of entry for anyone to publish to the world.
The result is that low quality material can now go mainstream given enough money. But there is also more high quality underground content available than there ever was and it gets published online faster than anyone could consume. It’s just a matter of being ready to look for it.
So if you want better quality, vote with your money and buy an album on bandcamp or spread the word about an underground band you like, because making fun of Bieber unfortunately won’t make him go away.
Today’s *American music.
Really, people. If you want to find good music released recently, you’re going to have to look for songs that aren’t in English.
Not all recent American music is bad. Too much of the popular stuff is, true, but that’s not all that’s being produced.
And there’s a lot of music outside the US that is utter crap, too.
Well, you aren’t thinking too much, it seems. This meme was just to show how many writers it took to create each song. Bohemien Rahpsody being a materpeice, and Baby being an insult to humanity. And classical music? That stuff is HARD! Not only is the duration of a peice of classical music much longer than these two songs, but there are so many instruments to make music for. Its far more complicated and requires much more dedication. And yes, there is classical music masterpieces written by one peron.
“I want my children to listen to people who ****ing ROCKED!”
Exactly
HAMMERTIME
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/freddie-mercury-rage-pose
Ok seriously?? Who cares! Why is everyone who is a fan of the classics so obsessed with modern music? Yes, other artists are doing well. Why does it matter?
Guys, it’s MUSIC. Yes, I agree that Queen was better, but I find it hilarious that people use their taste in music to make others feel inferior. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and all of these modern music worshippers will soon come to their senses and realize that there is a world outside autotune, the same way these classic rock elitists will soon look beyond the top 40 and realize that decent music is still being made today.
I love how Roger is all
in most of the pictures.
Well, to be fair, Freddie Mercury has talent, which none of the other has, so they have to gang up to try to compete (even though they obviously can’t).
And I like how they think they need three “genres” to describe the really poor and common Bieber song and just one (“Rock”) to describe this amazing Queen song, which is actually very diverse and pushes the boundaries of music.
I stopped reading when you referred to Freddie Mercury in the present tense.
Queen is… meh. Better than that example would be NOFX’s “the decline”.
can we just get over it already?
Okay. I’m a 90′s kid, raised on music from the 70′s and 80′s and there is a clear reason why. Queen definitely makes the top three artists on my favorites, and I think their music after “A Night at the Opera” and “Greatest Hits” are worthy of mention. As a matter of Fact, Scandal (From their 1989 album “The Miracle” ) Is one of my favorite songs, as is “I Want It All”. And I most certainly am not “Angsty” or “slightly unwashed”, I just happen to have a good taste in music.
How fasci *falls asleep*
*rolls eyes*
ur pathetic, get a taste in music
troll.
Stop trying to make other people feel inferior about their taste in music just because it’s different than your taste in music. There is no such thing as a “good” taste in music, because get this: everyone is different. No one’s taste in anything is going to be exactly like yours, so you really just need to get the hell over yourself.
Um, did I in any way say I was better than anyone who didn’t like my music? Nu, don’t think so. I was simply stating my opinion on a few of the comments I read before I posted…which, in essence, is the whole point of a comment/reply system. And it would be kind of weird if I thought that my own taste in music was bad, wouldn’t it? But since it is the kind of music I like, then, to me, it’s good music, which, to me, means I have a good taste in music. Logic.
Now who’s the one who needs to get the hell over themselves?
alright, listen: QUEEN SUCKS, most of their stuff sounds like an operette written for and by gays
Oh look a meme with Justin Bieber and professor Farnworth not wanting to live on this planet anymore, HOW ORIGINAL.
Common ideas =/= lack of originality
Common ideas =/= lack of originality
Common ideas =/= lack of originality
Common ideas =/= lack of originality
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
C-C-C-Common ideas =/= lack of originality
It took five people to write that garbage? Even the background music to it isn’t even the least bit interesting.
please stop being so obsessed with this song. It’s a good song, no doubt, but it’s so overplayed. You know, Queen wrote more songs than bohemian rhapsody and we will rock you/we are the champions.
Especially good ones like Teo Torriatte, One Vision, Spread Your Wings, Ride The Wild Wind, Innuendo, March Of The Black Queen, You And I, and It’s Late.
And it’s not all Mercury.
Unfortunately, most of them are way worse than BR or Innuendo (maybe the only two good songs they ever wrote).
…..I want to ride my bicycle.
Do you realize that Bohemian Rhapsody only started being played on the radio, after it’s initial release period, again after the first Wayne’s World movie, 1992, which got a whole new generation interested in Queen and the song.
I tried listening to Bohemian Rhapsody and honestly couldn’t stand it for more than a minute.
Led Zep were better.
this. besides, most of the Queen fans on Memebase probably haven’t heard any Queen songs other then this one
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAA1xgTTw9w&w=420&h=315
Some faith in humanity has been deteriorated?
music is a matter of taste…..freedom of expression and all that…..
Why do we still give Beiber any attention anymore? He is just another flavor of the week in a long line of record executives wet dreams. Cranks out a couple of “hit” songs, girls swoon over him, and throw his face on a lunch box, and make tens of millions of dollars. In ten years, this guy probably won’t be able to get a gig at a hotel lounge. By then several more teen “stars” will have come and gone. Just let it rest.
Mama, just shot a Bieber.
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now all of his song writers still live on to make more bad music.
True story, getting rid of Bieber would be like shooting the messenger.
http://www.facebook.com/BYUMemes mormons. They think they can meme
After reading the Queen lyrics, I carried on listening to the song in my head.
One does not simply stop singing Bohemian Rhapsody
so true
Sugar
dudududu du du,
oh honey honey
dudududu du du
you are my candy girl
and you make me
wanting you
Yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy…
Ok chill out I think the point being made here is that nowadays it takes a whole heap of people with very little to no talent to write a crappy ass track when years ago to actually record and produce music it took stacks of talent, I’m not saying that all newish bands/artists are talentless, just the vast majority of them
Some days, I think about joining Farnsworth… But there’s still good music being made; so what if there’s also bad? I don’t even mind that the bad sells well, as long as the good doesn’t go away. (Hip-hop seriously shouldn’t take five people to compose, though.)
I thought writers also write the arrangements. Or is that composing?
Im pretty sure they also did the arrangin/composing.
Even so, Mercury used several distinct sections in the song. The Bieber hive mind wrote the same words and notes over and over again, and then auto-tuned his voice to sing “on” key.
Sounds just like prepubescent robot.
Bohemiand rhapsody myst be the most over-rated song among “real” songs ever.
^ THIS.
*sigh* How many times must I say something like this?! Just because a lot of people here love it, doesn’t mean its overrated. Its a an awesome song, you twit!
It’s MASSIVELY overrated. It’s a song that idiots like because it makes them feel clever.
How does it make people feel clever at all? It just evokes emotion. When has it ever make someone feel smarter? Its good that a lot of people like because its a great song. You either have a terrible taste in music, or are a hipster.
What the HELL are you even doing comparing Queen to justin bieber anyway?!!? GAH.
I spy with my little eyes something that rhymes with “dead horse beating…”
Fat chorus cheating?
Queen sucks. Deal with it.
Sex Pistols > Queen
fight me
No need to. Freddie already took care of “Simon Ferocious” back in the seventies:
And thus we see why Freddie Mercury was a bad a^$!
Both artists suck in my book. Both Queen and Justin Beaver. Although if I had to choose a Queen song to listen to for eternity as a puinishment, it could only be Bohemian Rhapsody. The most (if not the only) proggy of their songs.
Obvious troll is obvious.
Can they please get a new comparison? Why is it always Bohemian Rhapsody!? I’m starting to think this is the only song these people know…
It’s always Bohemian rhapsody because that’s Queen’s most lyrically excellent piece of work. In my opinion, anyway.
Get the hell over yourselves. Like your decades didn’t have any crappy music. (Hello Limp Bizkit. Hello More Than Half of the 80′s.)
On internet machine, the young bourgeoisie listen to this Bieber woman. But in home country, the Bourgeoisie listened to good music by talented composers.
It drove the French crazy.
Getting credited as performer (singer, producer etc) gets you money from that performance (CD sales, itunes). Getting credited as writer gets you money from all future performances (covers, remixes, live)
whats your point there both listed as writer
If lyrics is all that matters to you, try “A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers” by Van Der Graaf Generator(http://tinyurl.com/838h8e2), I think lyrically Peter Hammil aces Freddie any day. (though vocally and musically it’s a difficult decision)
I feel like the Farnsworth picture could have been captioned more appropriately…
“I don’t wanna die, I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all…”
oh, memebase users and their horrible taste in music…
True stuff.
This.
Has whining about Justin Bieber reached critical mass yet?
FFS, it’s been the same jokes since 2008. Come up with new material or move on.
omg can you stop with the justin bieber memes. they’re not funny.
Queen is good and that song still sounds great today. Not all bands can achieve that (Beatles, I’m looking at you and your horrible outdated and simplistic songs)
However they are many songs just as bad as ” baby”, truth be told… in fact many beatles songs are just as bad with lyrics almost equally retarded.
Bieber = Beatles of now
What if Justin Bieber made this meme…
…just so he could be on memebase?
I feel like people are missing something here; the sample of “Baby” is of the chorus. Choruses are meant to be repetitive, at least in pop they are, so that you remember the chorus and, by proxy, the song. Bohemian Rhapsody doesn’t really have a chorus, so the comparison is quite unfair.
That being said, 5 people to write a song like “Baby” is kind of disappointing.
Oh babe, listen to me babe, just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here.
He forgot to mention Feat in the credits
5 writers don’t write one song. 1 writer write one song.
ok now don’t think that i am in any way defending justin bieber or his lyrics but all of these memes compring great music from past decades to crap music from this decade isn’t fair. You forget there was some horrible music released in past decades just as some great music has been released this decade
It boils down to this:
There are a lot of musicians in the world.
There are very few artists of music in the world.
Just because you created something that was very popular, doesn’t make you an artist.
I loved Queen, but I’m not sure I’d call them artists, and I know damn sure I wouldn’t call Beeb an artist.
Then again, some of the writers on Baby were probably only there because they wrote the music itself, not the lyrics.
Although that means that not only is Bieber incapable of writing decent lyrics, he’s also incapable of coming up with a decent tune.
This is so true ;-; i mean elvis was awesome, stones and the beatles were awesome zeppelin was awesome aerosmith was awesome nirvana was awesome, THEN THIS CAME OUT
You are all complete idiots, the reason Justin Beiber is famous is not because he is talented. Queen Wrote a piece that could be from an opera with one writer. Music like Queen, The Doors, Sex Pistols, The Beatles, and The Stones will live on forever, and the fact that it already has lived on for so many years is an accomplishment in itself. The fact of the matter is that Justin Biebers music wont live on. Twenty years from now we wont be telling our kids about him, and neither will his fans. He has no talent at all. He is loved because a couple of people think he is attractive. He will never be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, because he has nothing for music except make it all about the money. His music is all about the commercial money it makes. The fact that these girls are paying for this crap is wrong. GFY.

Queen sucks, you should all listen to Ensiferum
They’re boring, as far as metal goes.
I don’t like Justin Bieber at all. I hate most of the new “popular” music on the radio, but that’s because I’m looking for something creative, something that tells a story, something that uses instruments instead of computers.
People these days just want something they can relate to, which limits artists writing abilities when they’re accompanied with their agents and record companies telling them this and that will sell and they need to follow the rules if they want to be famous and make money. It’s very sad, but it’s true. I just wish some artists would write their own songs instead of needed 4-6 other people to help them (and some don’t even help out). That’s where you get your cardboard cutout pop star…
I can’t believe how many times this über-annoying comparison was postet on this website. Bye memebase, i won’t miss you
Whilst I agree this comparison is over-used, your picture is Dolan. That INSTANTLY makes anything you say a nonsensical ramble.
Bohemian Rhapsody is only 5:55 minutes long? I thought it was at least 7 minutes.
I don’t care about the lyrics and the who wrote what thing, Justin Bieber sucks.
The End.
LIKE AH MAI GAD! LEAVE JUSTIN ALONE! HE IS SO HAWT!!!!111111
I’m not saying that I don’t like Mr. Beiber, I just hope he gets mauled by a pack of light sabre weilding t-rex riding sewer people. And on a more personal note, i like turtles.
Bieber isn’t a pop star because people liked his music and talent. Bieber is a pop star because he is the prettiest boy they could find; Who they put on TV and told kids to buy; which kids did because they weren’t served up any alternatives. Nobody watches music TV anymore when youtube is on your phone.
He was brought up into the business by a New R&B icon. New R&B is generally the same across the board; Their success is based on how well they promote themselves. Bieber can’t sing for crap, he’s autotuned every word. Especially the words “Baby” and “Oh”.
TLDR: Usher found a pretty boy. autotuned him, and put him on TV where kids were told they like him.
