Phenomenon

Justin Bieber: A Pop Phenomenon, Considered

by MAURA JOHNSTON

On Wednesday, Morning Edition is launching a new feature that explores popular music and the cultural phenomenon surrounding it. To kick it off, music writer Maura Johnston and Jay Smooth, of Illdoctrine.com, discuss Justin Bieber, the Twitter black belt who's taking over the pop landscape — and possibly the rest of the world. Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber's rise to prominence hasn't just been about his somewhat-obsessive tweeting and the devotion of his young female fans; he's also been assisted by more than a few catchy songs from today's most prominent pop savants.
