    Justin Bieber should really focus on other topics.Getting girls is all he talks about?Why not talk about...death or something?I don't know but I'm tired of hearing him always wanting to "get the girl". Jeez whoever he's singing about, I would say "NO" too. The songs are alright, but not what I expected.Here's a Three out of pityy!

I actually listened to My World 2.0 all the way through, and can say that it's not the creation from hell that many make it out to be. It's certainly not a great work of artistry either. I will actually admit to liking "Somebody To Love", and "Stuck In The Moment" temporarily got stuck in my head. But it's a weak album, with wholly uninspiring lyrics and bland uninteresting music. And, of course, it's sung by a prepubescent boy. I like lots of music, including pop music. This is not quality pop music.… Expand

    Apesar de ser um album de um garoto de 16/17 anos as músicas não agradam pessoas com mais idade, Justin Bieber construiu uma imagem de "garoto bonito" porém não passa disso, um exemplo a Lorde, mesmo com 16/17 anos suas músicas demonstram a realidade diferente deste album que deve agradar no maximo crianças de 9 anos.

    While this album is bad, it isn't as bad as most people think, and it's only judged because of "Baby" (the worst song off the album), however some songs such as "Somebody to Love" are tolerable.

    My World 2.0 has been called by many the “second half” of Justin Bieber’s first album. Usually, I don’t review two albums by the same artist so close together, but I thought it would be good to do so, since these two works go hand in hand. Luckily, the second time around is better than Bieber’s debut, though 2.0 is still very rocky and some of the utter cringe that was a part of the first outing is present here. I had always thought that Baby was overrated and overplayed, but after listening to it, I found that the lyrics in the verses were actually decent and it contained a surprising amount of feeling. That being said, I did not really appreciate how repetitive this song is, and it uses some annoying and distracting drums. Plus, the rap part felt out of place and was really unnecessary. I don’t usually mind rap-bridges, but this one was weird in the way that some words were emphasized. Somebody To Love was actually a pretty good song. I thought it was fun how synthy it was. The bass synth was outstanding and great to jam to, but the higher synth notes were a bit distracting from the rest of the song. Stuck In The Moment was riddled with a lot of clichés, though it redeemed itself by the rest of the lyrics, which were actually really good and powerful--a surprise. At this point I thought I might need to raise my expectations since this album seemed to be considerably better than its counterpart. U Smile had a bunch of great lyrics, though this song was a little repetitive, and I thought I may have heard a bit of autotune, which took away some fun from the listening experience. Runaway Love started out as a great song, as its music was great (awesome bassline), though I would have appreciated better lyrics, and this theme of lost love was getting really tiring at this point. Plus, I’ve tried to not say this in the past, but Runaway Love sounded like a Kidz Bop song, which is not a good thing to resemble. Never Let You Go would have been a good song if I was able to take it seriously, but there was something about it that seemed like it was not 100% in a serious manner (the bridge was especially cheesy). At least it had some relatable and powerful lyrics that were well written, and its music was pretty good, and I liked the bass, drums, and vocals only part. The drums were a bit annoying in Overboard. Actually, no; they were extremely annoying. They were fine in the intro but got progressively worse. The theme this song presents had already been addressed in six other songs in this album (haha, that’s a joke. There were only six songs already--oh, nevermind), so I felt confused why we needed to hear about it again. The lyrics were actually kind of relatable though in the chorus, and the bass was fun. On the downside, Bieber’s voice sounded processed. This normally would be okay, but the cool thing about a young artist is the sheer ability that the artist has to impress the audience. If the artist just wastes this opportunity on autotune instead of actually trying or electronic drums instead of actually constructing a beat with a real instrument, the opportunity is lost and the music is filed away as merely generic, which I’m afraid is what happened here. Eenie Meenie was probably the worst song I have ever heard. It was very, very repetitive, and the lyrics that weren’t were so cringy that I actually wanted to throw up. I also thought it was weird how Justin Bieber got all the credit for this song yet it seemed like the whole time it was just Sean Kingston singing. The bridge was the worst part of the song, actually repulsive. I was hoping for the song after this to cleanse the awfulness I had just heard but Up was underwhelming. It was just an average song for the album: the lyrics were corny and the tired theme continued. That Should Be Me was considerably better, but still not anything breathtaking. The distortion effect used in the second half of the song was super unnecessary and would have been much better fitting in one of the other songs. The key change was really nice and I really liked the lyrics that weren’t repetitive. Overall, My World 2.0 was definitely not a masterpiece, though it was a slight improvement over its predecessor. It still has its fair share of corny lyrics, though in general they are a lot better. I am curious to see whether Justin Bieber gets better as he matures or if the music quality stays the same. Only time will tell! Highlight: Stuck In The Moment.    … Expand

    It is so depressive to see how quality in music has been downgraded so much in the recent years, in this album, songs have repetitive lyrics, stupid choruses and senseless meaning of lyrics. Even seeing the album cover makes one feel bad.

    While devendra banhart's beautiful "smokey rolls down thunder canyon" got a metascore of 69 and bloc party's masterpiece "a weekend in the city" a 65, justin bieber gets a 71. this is really the proof that music critics aren't objective, but give an 80 for "hey there are clever producers and if i think it's cool despite of it's shitty genre i'm so impartial While devendra banhart's beautiful "smokey rolls down thunder canyon" got a metascore of 69 and bloc party's masterpiece "a weekend in the city" a 65, justin bieber gets a 71. this is really the proof that music critics aren't objective, but give an 80 for "hey there are clever producers and if i think it's cool despite of it's shitty genre i'm so impartial and thus even more respectable" and a 50 for "gnah, this might be very good stuff but only liking the first album and discarding the follow-ups is always cool".… Expand

    Complete bubblegum garbage. Just another teen fad that's going to die as soon as it flowers. It's a sad example of the transient frivolities that are the music industry nowadays. People say there will never be another The Beatles; it's because people are too obsessed with non-music trash like this to pay attention to groups with legitimate records.

    Tsk tsk... Justin Bieber is an overhyped 16 year old who didn't hit puberty, and I seriously thought he was a girl when I heard "One Time". And singing about love? Like what do you know, you are like 16 and your voice didn't even break yet; the only people whom this album will ever appeal to is to young girls who don't know any better.

    If it wasn't for included ballads in the album, "My World 2.0" really would be one of the worst albums in music's history. Excessive auto-tune in pop-dancing melodies which make them strident and unpleasant. "Baby" is absolutely the worst song of the album. A horrible intro that gives a very little interest to continue with it.

    The album is a total failure and the only reason why he is still in the music industries is because of his "Girl fans." The songs in the album is mostly boring and dull but at least is better than Rebecca Black's "Friday"

    A worsening of the already offensively bad my world Ep is what I'd say if it wasn't rescued by the few fun innocent bubblegum pop jams :baby,somebody to love,eenie meenie &that should be me. Even so those songs are catchy but not particularly good .

    Again? This is llike the capcom games, for example, have Street Fighter, and after Super Street Fighter IV, and I never imagine that this happen in the music industry. This album have only one good song, the rest is terrible. A next CD of Bieber? No I don't believe that.

    I just don't know where to start. It seems as though everything was made to be as tasteless, derivative and processed as possible. Only tweenagers who haven't yet developed a taste in good music will enjoy this trash. Simply put, it's an insult to the music industry.

    Not good music at all. And Shirliah W. nas was 16 when he wrote illmatic. This album is definitely not the best music a 16 year old w/ writers and producers could come up with.

    In response to Shirliah W: I am a 17 year old, and the music I make is far superior to this. Justin Bieber's CD is a terrible record. It gives 16 year-old musicians a bad name.

    Bieber makes all the right, charming moves for a teen, and he covers all the bases. The dance-pop songs are light on the ears yet memorable; the unrequited material sounds deeply felt; the ballads have all the necessary us-against-the-world teen-love dramatics.

    Despite the clunky moments, there’s ample proof that Team Bieber know exactly what they’re doing and who they’re talking to. As you’d expect, it’s the ballads that hit the hardest.

    This full-length sequel, My World 2.0, in stores March 23, won't likely affect any adults not in the direct blast radius of Bieber's target range. That said, the kid seems to know what he's doing.
