Pa-Rum-Pum-Pum-Pu-u-u-u-um

I used to feel sorry for Justin Bieber.  Sure, I hate commercialized pop driven by tween girls' hormones as much as anyone, but he doesn't deserve the level of vitriol he's received. 

At least that's what I thought until I heard his version of "Little Drummer Boy" during today's basketball games.  Look, Bieb, inserting extra notes to show off your vocal abilities Mariah-Carey-style is merely annoying, but that's if you can actually hit all those extra notes.  Pointlessly meandering notes in a really artificial auto-tuned voice is neither entertaining nor impressive.

I have new respect for David Bowie and Bing Crosby.
