His iconic dance and catchy tune have captured the imagination of millions of people worldwide. The video pokes fun at the glitzy Gangnam district of South Korea's capital Seoul. In it, he is seen dancing around the city pretending to ride a horse and twirl a lasso.

Hi,now I would like to tell my position about the popularity of the Justin Bieber and the performer of the song Gangman Style - PSY .To say the truth I am shocked and horrified that such a video could be so popular.First of all it's music of this song - as for me it's stupid music which really gets on my nerves. Second - it's words. If you want to understand me - copy the text of the song and insert it into the translator , i'm sure i will understand that it song about nothing.Third it's tune of the song. I don't understand as the meaning of the song and as the meaning of tune.
ОтветитьУдалитьIn my personal opinion the most part of modern music is bad , i even can say that such music about : "What do i see , i will sing ".
Finaly,I'd like to say about pop-star or teens idols. I can not say that all of them is not bad, but some of them is really i can not bear.A shinning example of my words is Justin Bieber. Most of all i don't like him because him appearance and style of dressed. Sometimes I even think that he is not boy- he is similarity of girl.Somebody can say that i envy to his popularity, but it's funny ,because I can not envy to the guy who behaves as he.
So , I can say that i have a negative position to relative to most modern music, especially to the PSY and Justin Bieber.
Thank you for the attention !
With best wishes
Ivan .

ОтветитьУдалитьHello! I would like to tell you about my position to Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber and 34-year-old South Korean singer - PSY.
ОтветитьУдалитьI am shoked and horrified that such a video could be so popular. First of all, I don't like this genre of music and I don't like the voice of the singer.
Secondly, I think that this song is pointless, people didn't even try to grasp the essence of this song, they just enjoy it for it's funny melody and funny words.
As for Justin Bieber, in his 19 years old he easily achieved great success that people are trying to win for 20 years or more.
But I don't like his style, sometimes I think that he is like a girl. In some songs he has a girlish voice.
Thirdly, I think that people have become less serious refer to classical music. Everyone started to forget about the legends of early music like Bach and Mozart.
Though I don't listen the classical music, but I know the names of the great composers and theirs best works. I think that everybody must know it.
In the end, I want to say that everyone chooses the music, which is close in spirit, and it doesn't matter what the genre of it.
The main thing - don't forget the old composers and respect their work.
Thank you for the attention!
Hi everybody! I’m a South Korean singer PSY, and I’m very happy that my song Gangnam Style is YouTube's most-watched video ever! I want to tell you, that I'm not surprised about that fact, because I know that I’m an awesome singer, and my goal in life is to give positive energy and joy with my music. I wanted to create a track that would sound on every party! It would be something fiery and fun and everyone who heard it – wanted to dance. And I think that I managed to do it, because the song was released on the 15th of July, 2012, and my global smash hit song Gangnam Style has become the most-watched clip in YouTube's history! During the third week of July 2012, the video continued gaining viral momentum at an average rate of more than nine million views per day in the span of two months. By mid-September my song was most liked video on the site with more than 1.6 million likes! Such highly entertaining music video has spawned hundreds of parodies and copycat dance videos on YouTube and also surpassed Justin Bieber’s single “Baby”! What about classical music? I don’t like it, because I think that type of music doesn’t fit in our century. But energy music is an inherent part of my life, and I hope I bring people happiness and enjoyment.

ОтветитьУдалитьHello world!
ОтветитьУдалитьToday I’d like to express my position about popularity of PSY and Jastin Bieber. More precisely about their most popular hits Gangnam Style and Baby accordingly.
Today PSY’s the most popular singer in the East Asia in such coutries as Chine, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, ect. There’re many people who live their and that’s why millions of people comes to the YouTube to watch video with their idol. And this videos attract people for their humor and funny moments. That’s like videos with kittens. And exactly Gangnam Style has a lot of humor moments and dances. So as I think exactly this factors are the most importent that do Gangnam Stylethe most popular video on YouTube with more that billion views.
But Justin Bieber’s most popular video Baby has another couses to do most viewed in 2010. That was great popularity among little girls 10-14 years old. Bieber’s their pop idol and thay loved him very much! But as we know population of chinese are more that little girls 10-14 years old and that’s why Gangnam Style’s more viewed that Baby.
And in the end of my letter I’d like to tell my position about this pop hits. I like Gangnam Style for that funny moments and sometimes this video do my mood better but I had never understand crectivity of Justin Bieber. It not fun, not interesting and insensible.
Hi! I’m here to tell you about my possession for the most-watched clips in YouTube's history: “Gangnam Style” by singer Psy and “Baby” by teen idol Justin Bieber.
ОтветитьУдалитьSo, I’m really shocked and horrified that such a stupid videos could be so popular!!! Oh my gosh, that is so awful! What is happening to the music taste of the world? These are the worst “1st places” ever. Why? Because these hits consist of terrible set of sounds. Because these videos are reminding of the degradation. Because pop-music can’t be so popular (I hate this one).
I personally think that real musicians like Mozart and Bach should be number one. In my opinion, modern music is dreadful. Firstly, classical music is immortal. Secondly, classical music can even cure. Thirdly, classic can be sound with many other styles and it’s very great.
And, as you have already understood, I don't like pop stars and teen idols. First reason: I like classical and rock music. Second reason: I found lyrics of pop songs are stupid. And the final reason – I don’t enjoy pop singer’s style and behavior.
I wish you will agree with me. Bye!

ОтветитьУдалитьHi! I would like to tell you my position about Canadian singer Justin Bieber and South Korean singer PSY. I am shocked and horrified that such a video could be so popular. Words are meaningless. Music is catchy, but it is not important. We forgot classical music which inspires, elevates, relaxes, fascinates. Music by Bach, Mozart have lived for millennia and will remain in our hearts forever. Music by Psy, Bieber comes and goes. Songs should be about eternal values, and carry only the deepest feelings of the performer. In addition, we should not forget how to look nineteen guy. And Bieber is ike a girl with his sugary voice .
ОтветитьУдалитьEvery man to his taste. But some modern songs spoil culture. And only time decides which songs will remain for centuries and which songs will be forgotten.
Hello!
ОтветитьУдалитьI am here to express my opinion on the topic of modern music.
I think that everyone has heard about the clip of PSY called "Gangam style" and i would like to share my expressions. In the first place, i do not understand how is this work can be called music. To my mind, it is a set of empty and meaningless phrases and sounds. It is obvious that creators have not thought for long about the sense of this clip.
The next interesting personality, who is also a teen idol, is Justin Bieber. I have an unpleasant impession about him. In my point of view, this boy is not old enough for the difficult and responsible role as a singer. I was most amused by his attempt to show himself as an adult, stylish and courageous person. That is why he looks ridiculous and sometimes he can look like a girl. Moreover, there is also no sense in the texts of his songs.
On the contrary to the modern music classical music ennobles people. You can feel the hand of a master, how accurately the music is perfomed. It gives you an appeasement, inspiration and relaxation. After listening to this music you will feel revitalized. In addition, scientists claim that classical music has beneficial effects on brain activity.
At last, i hope that today`s society is not going to pay attention to cheap music and would prefer a good, old classical music.
Thank you for your attention.
Hello.
ОтветитьУдалитьI read your article about Justin Bieber and Psy popularity and say the truth I was really shocked this information. How?! Just how this set of letters and sounds become so popular? The texts are no informational and there is no sense in such songs. I can somehow understand Psy popularity – his songs is funny and made for dancing. I don’t like such kind of music, but these songs make me smile sometimes. Now, let’s look to Bibber “songs”. They are popular just in girls-teen auditory and it is not a secret why. They consist of simple text (I’m like. Baby, baby, baby noo) and a melody that make people, with tastes like mine, crazy.
I think music composed by Mozart and Bach - is wonderful and out of competition. Have you ever heard Edvard Grieg composition? If you are not – you are the most hapless human in the world. His suite to play “Peer Gynt” makes my heart beat faster. Such music, to my mind, has its own thoughts, its own soul. Classical music is eternal and no comments more.
Hi,now l want to tell you about popularity of Bieber and of the song Gangnam Style.
ОтветитьУдалитьI am horrified that such a video could be so popular. Firstly, his song is simple words without sense (as it seems to me). Secondly, I don`t love this ganre of music. Thirdly, his video clip is awful (actions not relating to each other and ect.). When I listen to Mozart or Bach I admire their works… It is magnificent music!
I think modern music is terrible. Why? Because in it there is a lot of pathos… Isn't enough songs with any sense… Awful words… And bad melody…( it`s only my opinion) I don't like pop stars or teen idols because they do of themselves something not clear, for example Justin of the nemgy is similar to the girl… I am not to be pleasant to me their behavior and ect…
Thank you for the attention!
Hello!
ОтветитьУдалитьI want to tell about such pop idols like Jastin Biber and PSY. To say honestly I don't like neither them nor their music. I think it terrible! I don't understand why it so popular amongst teenager.
Firstly, this music has any sense. It simply incomprehensible and unconnected between itself typesetting sounds. This music makes me crazy.
Secondly, texts of these songs are horrible. If you are not lazy and will see translate of this songs, you will agree with me.
Thirdly, it is absolute meaningless video. How it possible to watch? I can not understand it.
I think that modern style is terrible. This music can only act on our nerves. The really beautiful music is classical music. It is very sensibly. This music has ‘soul’. Listening music of Bach, Mozart or Beethoven we really admired. This music forces us to conceive about sense of our life.
I don't like modern pop-performers and teenager’s idols. I think there is any cultural value in their music. Additionally, such music is very monotonous and without originality. That’s why music quickly loses its popularity and forgotten.
Hi, guys! I am Justin Bieber;) Most of you don’t like me, but it’s okey because I am who I am. I am not afraid to be not like another. To tell the truth now I don’t want to discuss my personality, I want to say some words about music. Yes, yes I know that Psy beat my song to number one and I am really happy because of that. This will force me to strive for more, to move forward and do not stop in any way.
ОтветитьУдалитьYou could think that pop music is the only style of music that I love and listen. To tell the truth I believe that classical music has influence on everybody’s life. Music has always been an important element for the humanity. And every day classical music gives me so many ideas for songs.
Tastes differ. So people's musical interests are different too. Of course, my favourite style of music is pop music, because it is breathtaking and full of energy. Pop music makes me remember happy times and forget the problems of everyday life. It helps me to relax when I'm tired, and entertains me when I'd like to have fun.

ОтветитьУдалитьHello world!
ОтветитьУдалитьNow I’d like to correct my answer.
Today I’ll be on a classical music lover side. I’m shocked and horrified that such video as Gangdam Style and Baby could be so popular in the world. And there’re 3 reasons why.
Firstly I don’t understand spoiled people liking. Because as I think Buch’s and Mozart’s classical music is more better and can halp to relax, to think about life and even to sleep. But nawadays pop music do people stupid only and not enoughth.
Secondly I love solo instrumental music only. It gives me possible to play this song by piano. But I cannot play Gangdam Style or Baby by it as original.
And thirdly I’m very calm and don’t like fast music.
So as you can undestood I think that real musicians like Mozart and Bach should be number one in the world in all times and ages becouse throught this music moved not one generation and all people around the world heared it in there live at least one time.
And in the end of my article I tell you that I don’t like pop stars and teen idols. Why? It simply! Nowadays pop stars are only for a small years. And after some years all people forgot about this stars creativity. But for few years pop stars owershadows classical music...
So I think that I expressed my idea at all and people’ll hear classical music only in the future.
Hello everybody! I'm a classical music lover and I would like to tell you my position about Canadian singer Justin Biber and South Korean singer PSY.
ОтветитьУдалитьI am really shocked and horrified that such a video could be so popular.
Firstly, I don't like PSY because his music it is a simple words without any sense. Also, I think that it is can't be called music. It's more fun. Why do people listen to this music? Because it's like a drug.
What can I say about Justin Biber. Well, in his 19 years old he achieved success and attracted the attention of, many listeners(viewers). It is not easy. But I am not his fan too, for the same reasons I don't like PSY.
What about classical music. Everyone loves the classics, but not many people listen it and modern music people don't like, but listen, because it's fashionable. As for me, classical music is worthy of honor. I usually listen Bach and Mozart to relaxing. But now, classics we call that music, which blew up the world with its popularity. Also I believe that we can say that classical music is "Beatles" or "Modern Talking" now. It's really beautiful . About modern music I can say that most of songs are without any sense or ideas. But there are songs which you can sometimes listen.
Finally, I can add, that not all modern music is good, but the main thing that people won't forget classic and old music in the future.
Thank you for the attention!
Hello. Today I would like to tell you about my position about Justin Bieber and Psy. Honestly, I don’t like modern music, now it’s hard to find really good performers… I can’t understand why people can like such musicians like this two. I look for something special in music but in their music I see nothing… And it’s quite bad because their music is senseless… And it’s first reason why I dislike them. What things they can teach young people, teenagers like us? The second reason is their behavior. For example, Psy’s motions are really stupid and awkward. What about Justin Bieber? I can’t understand why so huge number of girls worldwide fell in love with him… In Twitter it’s not hard to find his fans named Beliebers. Maybe that girls like bad guys as Justin thinks himself. But I see only a pampered and spoiled by fame kid… So in a third reason I’ll say that I love classical music such Mozart and Bach more than listening to this nonsense. Maybe at least because classical music treats and doesn’t destroy. Classical music can treat soul and body what modern music can’t do…

ОтветитьУдалитьGood day, dear friends! I'm a classical music lover and I’ve just listened to this terrible Psy’s song as well as watched his music video. And now I want to share with you my opinion. Honestly, this sing just irritated my classical music lover’s soul. And do you know why?
ОтветитьУдалитьFirst of all, I’m deeply shocked and saddened that such a video could be so popular. Its plot is absolutely dull and senseless besides ridiculing the most prosperous place in the country the Gangnam District in Seoul. Just rethink the lyrics consisting of words about warm girl and guy and their characterization, then this music full of the beats written on the computer as we can’t hear any musical instruments like a violin or guitar, lute or mandolin, contrabass or harp. Furthermore, it’s disrespectful towards the classic musical school.
Secondly, exactly real musicians like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven or Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky should be number one in everyone’s Top List. I’m appalled at modern music. On my mind, it’s just terrible. Almost none of the modern music performers or composers can propose a masterpiece that would worth the memory of classics, whereas symphonic music is even recommended for babies and pregnant. I don’t think PSY’s song would be good for this purpose. Moreover, most of the nowadays pop songs become forgotten as quickly as popular.
Thirdly, pop stars and teen idols just displease me. Does Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez, Bill Kaulitz or Taylor Swift, even Lady Gaga deserve to be someone’s idol? They’re usual people who get too much attention. Yeah, maybe, they’re good singers but it’s crazy to follow someone with the pack of shortcomings. What is more, nowadays it’s easy to know more about great personalities, so we can choose a better example for inheritance than South Korean singer Psy. On my mind, he isn’t the best music product proposed today.
To sum up, I just want to put classical music lovers’ opinion into words picked in the phrase “It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera” (Luciano Pavarotti). That means that modern music with its stars like Psy is less important than classic. Thank you for paying attention.

I am a lover of classical music and i cant understand whats is going on. What so special about this video that made it si popular? I think its stupid and meaningless song. How could you listen song if you dont understand what its about? Melody, if i can call it melody, of this song is awfull. Just getting on my nerves. Especially hearing its all around. I think that modern music is so terrible. Its just about sex, drugs and how to get drunk or have fun in the club. Music must be a plesure for the soul. Not just a group of repeating sounds and meaningless words. I really dont like pop stars and teenagers idols. They show a bad example for young people. They teaching listen music without delving into the meaning of the songs. They not teaching love it. Im really pissed with the things that is going with the young generation...
