Does Anybody Actually Like Justin Beiber?

I don't like the way he conducts himself and I don't care for his music, but what I don't get, and will NEVER understand, is the slavish devotion he gets from his fans. Give ya a perfect example of what I mean.

When I used to be a mover, I was packing this girl's bedroom once and their was this giant shrine to Bieber on her wall, all these pictures and stuff, and attached to the largest poster was this goofy hand-written letter. This girl was maybe 11, and she just went on and on about how madly in love she was with him and how "perfect" he was and would do anything to meet him, that she knew they were "perfect" for each other, that she was keeping a copy of the letter so that one day when they were together they would each have one to look back on, like... just so eye-rolling. That's just the stuff I remember. It kinda went on.

I don't get it. It's not just about him, either, I don't get why girls act like that. Far as I know, guys don't. We all have our crushes but I don't think to that degree. My niece was a huge tomboy until she discovered One Direction; now she wears make-up and listens to boy bands and doesn't even care about TMNT anymore (and how much ya think THAT pisses me off?).

Any girls care to extrapolate on why this happens? Like, do you "fall in love" with whoever the first guy is to make you have to change your underpants or something? Because I didn't send Winona Ryder a marriage proposal after I saw "Beetlejuice", I just bitched I wasn't old enough to nail her. I've never understood how girls fall - and HARD - for these manufactured celebrity boy band types. Like, a lot of girls know and are fully aware that it's all a scheme designed exactly for that purpose - "You think these guys are pretty, right? Well give us all your money and plaster their pouty faces all over your room/locker/everything! We know it's not about their sterile and meaningless 'music', you just like how they get you moist. Don't worry, we won't tell." And yet, even girls who are aware they are being manipulated still often partake.

I think why some people get so violently angry about Bieber, boy bands,etc., is that we really don't want to think girls are that stupid, but circumstances say otherwise. That's my angle.
