As much as I like decent pop music, this is downright depressing

Justin Bieber. This years next big thing allegedly.
He looks about 12, is writing and starring alongside Usher and is blatantly being groomed as a hybrid of Justin Timberlake and Usher himself.
But it's more the content of the song I hate. I really don't think pop should be addressing such adult themes like one true loves and pool parties in a teen video full of underage kids.
You could swap out everyone in this video with a lithe, writhing group of 22 year old Latino girls and you have a Snoop Dogg promo.
Pop's great when it's fun or sentimental, but this is sheer opportunism (EVIDENCE: pointless use of very current gadget, endless talk of finding the one you love at the age of 11, using an established star to build credibility etc) isn't it?
