Purpose???


Has Justin Bieber finally learned to be a decent human being? From his recent activity and by his new music, some people are saying yes. The teenage heartthrob used to appeal to twelve year olds, when one of his first songs, Baby became viral. Since that immature beginning, he has gone through puberty, stardom, and several DUIs. It's debatable when he decided to turn his life around. I personally say it was after the petition for his deportation was rejected, which was heartbreaking for the 100,000 people who signed it, and a national celebration for the country of Canada. Justin Bieber is now a new man, a literal one since his voice finally got deeper. His new album, named Purpose, was released this weekend. It has already sold over 10,000 copies on iTunes. Of course the buildup for this particular debut was huge, especially since this is Justin’s first album since  2013. His chart topping singles, “Where are You Now” with Skrillex, “What Do You Mean,” and “Sorry,” drove people insane, bringing back the Bieber fever in old and new fans alike as well as creating several new earworms that will take the next few months to get rid.  Of course, Justin had plenty of help, including big artists like Halsey, Ed Sheeran, Big Sean, and Skrillex, to help his songs along. I certainly think that these collabs helped push these tracks over the top, uniting all of these fans in one common goal, or album. Even if I’m still slightly skeptical about his change of heart, Justin Bieber has still got his gift. What do you think? Has Justin found his purpose? Or is this just too little too late?

TOP Debate



Last week saw one of the calmest Twitter battles of all time. After discovering the poll feature from the new Twitter update, Twentyonepilots, popular alternative duo, decided to pose the ultimate question: which band member is the best? However, in order to truly pick the most popular, band members Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph decided to campaign for their fans affection. Occurring the night after the Republican GOP debate, the band stylized their race as the TOP Debate. Their first order of business: getting the support of the few and famous.

                                     

The band then released several campaign videos about the topics they felt were important to them, like giving everyone in the world Coca-Cola, and their policy on Red Bull. After several of these videos, other celebrities picked sides in the battle.



After these and other very special endorsements,  the time finally came to vote. The race was tight, with Josh Dun pulling ahead at times, but the fans proved true. After almost 200K votes and 24 hours, the results were in. And it was a tie! The band decided to celebrate their forever friendship the only way they knew how, with their fans. In a packed Milwaukee’s Eagles Ballroom, Tyler and Josh tattooed their names on each other, and truly cemented their age old friendship.To relive the battle, you can go to the band’s twitter @twentyonepilots !
