We know a teenage girl or two that love(s) Justin Bieber.  We used to get the allure, but it’s been quite some time since those Bieber home videos.  The rush by music’s teen-stars to adulthood and an adult audience (Bieber and Ms. Cyrus most obviously) these days is unnerving and is a diss(ervice) to their young audiences.  Take your time; why rush it?  What’s particularly galling is the lengths to which these young-ish musicians will go to kick their young fans to the curb in order to transition (so says they) to an adult audience.  Miley’s questionable indiscretions have mounted ridiculously quickly.  And Bieber?  The latest is his song collaboration with R. Kelly entitled PYD. Really? Why on earth does Justin Bieber choose to work with R. Kelly whose songs and videos are known for their lascivious sexual content?  (There was that one mix-up where he curiously wrote and recorded the stirring–in a good way–I Believe I Can Fly; but that’s the rare exception in his discography.)

We don’t get it, and neither apparently does Sufjan Stevens, who wrote the following today and embedded the song on his Tumblr Ghetto blog:

“Shout out to over-sexed teenagers. Shout out to sex abbreviations that sound like the word “puberty.” Shout out to animal euthanasia as sexual innuendo. Shout out to the new genre: nymphomaniac pop. Shout out to my Biebs. Go get some, bro. I’ll be reading the psalms, eating Scotch oatmeal cookies, etc. The world is abundant.”

Stevens’ message to Bieber follows on the heels of his earlier hilarious message to Ms. Cyrus.

For context, listen below to the new Bieber/Kelly collaboration in song (if you must).
