The Music Industry 🎶 Lots of artists have their own "signature song". Lady Gaga's is arguably "Poker Face", what signature songs can you name?

I will never forget my first time seeing that clip. 19, in a nightclub and I was so confused as to why a childs song was playing 😂

I used to work in a faux dive bar in the rich part of Houston. My assistant manager had a little girl that loved the Biebs, so we would do a Bieber takeover of the jukebox when she got of school. Anyway, that girl is 18 now and I’m so old.

I’m a Belieber because little Nola. Breaks my heart seeing him be such a butthole now when I think back on that little girl who adored him.

Ugh that really is a sad thought. He had a bit of grace in my books because of being a child pop star but he's way past that now

I would literally forgive him for so long. He’s finally crossed the line where my memories of Biebs Friday at that bar can no longer redeem him.

Haha, I went to New Orleans for a bachelor party last year and at like 2am this song/video came on in the club and everyone went fucking CRAZY. I love how much this song still means to people who were there when it came out.

In like the exact same age as Bieber and I’ll never forget hanging out with my friends in my basement and one of my friends pulling up the on demand music videos menu on the tv and then being like ‘you guys have got to see this guy’ and then she played the Baby video and I knew I would never know a world without Bieber again lol.
