    His voice and album sound like something that belonged on the highschool musical soundtrack.I bought this album as Usher produces it and was greatly dissapointed on how childish this album really is.Perfect for 12 -14 year olds.

    I really do not get what the big is about this kid is. hes really not that great of a singer, sure hes decent but people are acting like hes the messiah of music which hes not. and plus he freaking 15 so (since he obviously hasnt yet) when he starts puberty in a year or so. his voice wont be the same and he most likely wont be able to sing as well anymore (this kid aint no michael) and the lyrics are absolutely retarded. just avoid this cd and the kid.

    Not horrible, but certainly not great either. First, the good: Bieber and his handlers obviously knows who he's catering to. They don't try to reach adults with "mature" constructions, so this debut doesn't seem pretentious at all. In addition, Bieber has a certain boyish charm that makes even the sappier songs endearing. Now the bad: everyone else was here first. There is absolutely nothing original about this album. Also, for a supposed "star", Bieber makes surprisingly few contributions to the album, making it feel more than a bit artificial (although the constant presence of Auto-Tune adds to that). The lyrical quality is fairly low ("I was a playa when I was little, but now I'm bigger" A "playa" of what, Pokemon?), even going so far as to highway-rob the chorus from The Cardigans' "Lovefool" for "Love Me" (much in the style of the god-awful "Whatcha Say", an exercise in how to steal from Imogen Heap's music in all the wrong ways). The production is mostly recycled, but occasionally interesting (mostly on uptempo tracks). All in all, an underwhelming but not totally awful debut resembling the quality of early Rihanna: will you want to drive back up to the store in a rage and demand a refund at the top of your lungs? Probably not. Will you remember it a year from now? Again, no, but it may manage to make multiple cycles on the iPods of squealing teenage girls. We can only hope for the best: Bieber has nowhere to go but up. Expand

    Not too good at all, if he wants a real career he should stop using autotune and break away from Disney. Its obvious that they made this album, if he can make a good record by himself there is hope.

    This is simply overproduced, generic blabber that is surely only enjoyable to preteen girls. Don't waste your money, or even your time by giving it a listen.

    Tedious and overrated. Justin Bieber needs to hit puberty because his voice sounds like an eight-year-old boy or a girl. His songs are about love, and yet it gets very repetitive. Do not buy!

    People need to research before the review. Justin Bieber isn't Disney. That's the think that's so different about him, he was self made and didn't need Disney to over-promote him. A great album and can't wait until what's instore for the future.

    Terrible album. Just don't buy it. The only people who will ever like his "music" are preteen girls who don't know any better. His high-pitched voice, dependance on auto-tune, and complete unoriginality all completely make me spit in utter disgust at why did he even get a record deal, the only plausible reason is his looks.

    Horrendous! Absolute S***. This album sucks. Does Justin really thinks he's a good singer. He lypsyncs ALL THE TIME and all the songs are the same about relationships...you know mix it up....I did like "One Time' but other than that SUCKSSSS

    I like all the songs, especially "Down to Earth" - which is very personal to him - and the album's very catchy and all the tracks work together. But seriously, the left six tracks are about girls he never had. He should get a little more personal.

    I wouldn't hate him so much if he didnt become so popular. i would just dislike him, but i hate him because everywhere I go some **** is screaming about Justin Beiber. He's a kid making music and having a good time, and he has fans, i wouldnt mind it if his name overshadows hard working developing musicians that are 100000000000x better than him

    One of the worst album ever. He can't sing, more like screeching. Music sounds stupid and hate his voice. Songs are idiotic and not even poor, it is less than that. To the people who reviewed this positively, get some help. Not recommended for a one listen at all. Stupid album.

    if you listen to music for simple brainless entertainment, you may like this. i like music with substance. justin bieber sings about love yet he is 14 and probably never been in love. he is completely fake. he can sing, yes, but that will probably end by the time he reaches puberty. completely mindless crap.

    Justin bieber is just another one of many unimportant teen-pop fads. And in a few years, all his die-hard fangirls will cling to next big sensation (or hopefully, they'll find out what REAL music is) Let's face it... he has no staying power. The lyrics are a joke, and are even more blandly ridiculous and immature than you would expect to hear from a crappy 16 year old teen pop singer... the background music has little to no variation. His voice is generic, and indistinguishable from many pop "artists" (and he sounds like a girl) Plus, the songs are sticky-sweet enough to make you want to vomit after a few listens. Although the thing most nauseating about this whole fad is that there are countless musicians out there that would die for this kind of exposure, that have the artistic credibility and legitimacy that Justin Bieber has none of Expand

    Really, really bad. This is not even music. This album is basically ear rape. It sounds awful, and evokes feeling of anger. He is not a musician, he is a criminal. Stay away from the album, so that no money is made, and no more albums are made.

    I don't hate him, but this album is really bad, is the kind of album making for girls that think to love him. His voice is orrible, the songs are orrible..... (sorry for my English)

    I can only rate the song "Baby" because that's the only song I've listened to. It wasn't as bad as everyone says it is. It has a good first verse, a chorus that everyone will remember, the other guy "Ludacris" wasn't a retarded rapper wannabe, and it told a solid story that yes, is practically the same in all his songs, but it was still rather good nonetheless. 8/10.

    The bad thing about Justin Bieber user scores is that they're either from people who are biased or haters. I was not a Bieber-Fever diagnosed girl, but I was definitely not a hater either. Somewhere in between, closer to the former after listening to "My World 2.0", which I thought was impressive. A cute album, with a few strong points, such as "One Time", & "Down To Earth". "One Less Lonely Girl" was another good song. On the next Justin Bieber release, I hope it is full of people who are not either biased or haters. Expand

    Justin Bieber is a great singer, most of these songs on the album are great. The reason I have rated this album as 4, is because Justin Bieber has not been able to connect with most of the listeners. And that is why the album is weak. I wish him the best.

    First of all, most reviews posted here are biased and criticize him as a person or his incredibly annoying and immature fans. That said, the album is nothing more than average and all tracks are very similar with each other, with Bieber sounding like an 8-year-old boy.

    This kid is a disgrace to music as we all know it. Not music like off of Disney or Nickelodeon like as it is now those networks have gone to poop, but PROFESSIONALLY. I don't like people who have to have backup dancers when on tour, or use autotune when on studio. However this kid was responsible for the inappropriate spawnings of Rebecca Black, and Jenna Rose, and I can discredit him for that.

    This kid is a whiny stupid b*tch that sounds like a kindergardner. I would rather burn my money then buy this album. Don't worry in a year or two from now everyone will hate him.

    Well, it's not that bad. "My World" is a solid mediocre album with some high girly pitch singing from Justin Bieber, but I managed it. Guess the low score's from the haters and trolls.

    Another way to do money. I don't know what to say... well... it's an insult to music. This is not music, is only commercial thing to do money. I don't get why people like him... ew.

    No talent, I'm trying to like, I really am. But his voice just sounds bad, really bad. All tracks: pathetic, absolutely pathetic. If anyone gives this album higher than a 4, you are younger than 14 and shouldn't have a account on a website that is supposed too give people perspective. Come on whats with music these days?

    I will not write a very extensive review, how I would like to do, because I have written a very expensive one at My World 2.0 and there is no necessity to say something more about Justin Bieber's music. It's crap, only that. Awful pop made only for make money and create mass idols to sell a deplorable image and example to pre adolescents. The music in this CD is disgusting, really bad. And the fact that, like always, critics gave it a good review, is extremely sad. Listen to Dark Side Of The Moon of Pink Floyd to see how to compose really good, then listen to Road To Ruin of Ramones to listen easy composed music that perfectly works, and then listen to it. You will notice how horrendous it is. Expand

    Is Justin Bieber really a singer? I do not see any music in this album. I think the only great thing he has done is trending in Twitter. Oh, I made a mistake. He is not responsible for that, his fans.

    I won't say its the best, but I won't say its the worst. Think about it. From 'Baby' to this song? Not that bad. The worst thing people hated about him was his voice. It was just too high, and just not good to listen to. It sounded like a girl, moms everywhere who were listening to KIIS asked their kids, "Is that a girl?" Do I need to say more? However, he hit puberty, and his voice certainly got lower. It's a semi-catchy song, but the word choice in the lyrics.. aren't the best. Expand

Generally favorable reviews - based on 6 Critics

Critic score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 6
  2. Negative: 0 out of 6
  1. Members of the Clutch, Midi Mafia, ??Tricky? Stewart, Usher, and a handful of other notable producers and songwriters grant Bieber a set of songs that isn't quite top-level quality, but the singer more than gets by on his squeaky-clean charm and natural ability.
  2. Bieber is indistinguishable from any of a thousand prefab pop aspirants with musical inadequacies that need glossing over in the studio.
  3. Not surprisingly, My World is long on sugary puppy-love ballads and dinky dance-pop confections; diabetics are advised to stay away.
