(sarcastic cheering)
- Surprise, surprise, surprise.
- (sardonic laugh) What a joke!
- (puzzled) Who voted on this?
(audience cheers)
(some in audience begin booing)
- Look-- ooh! Oh! Ooh. I hear booing.
- Are they booing him?
(audience members boo)
- Wow.
- Yeah, they're booing. Ha! Ha! Ha!
(uncontrollable laughter)
(bangs table) - I love it!
- (Justin) I'm 19 years old. I-I...
I think I'm doing a pretty good job.
- Dude, when I was 19 years old, I was up to here in rice paddy water,
looking for people to shoot!
- (Justin) This is not a-- this is not a gimmick.
I'm not-- - It is a gimmick
'cause you shouldn't have won!
- (Justin) I'm an artist and I-I-I should be taken seriously and-and--
- What a maroon.
- (Justin) All this other bull should not be spoken of.
- Justin, don't be arrogant.
- (Justin) I want to thank my family at home.
I want to thank my mother and my father.
- (scoffing) Oh god.
- (Justin) I want to thank Jesus Christ.
- What up? He just made that up!
- Oh, yeah. Let's bring everybody into it.
- (Justin) Little brother and sister, I love you so much.
Thank you guys so much. Thanks!
You're incredible! (mixture of cheering and booing)
- Boy, that really means he's popular when you're booed like that.
(groans and laughs)
- Ooh, I can't believe the boos in the audience!
- (Justin) So, crazy news.
(chuckling)
- (sarcastically) Ah, nice tattoos.
(Justin bursts into laughter)
- Tell him to keep going. - Is he, like, wasted or something?
He's on drugs?
- (Justin) There's a video on Instagram.
(laughing) I-I don't-- - Was he high?
- (Justin) Quick little piss break, you know, the quickest restroom
we could get to. (laughter off camera)
- Well, that's hard to see.
- He's pissing in the thing! He's pissing in the mop thing!
- (Justin) We swagger, man, you know?
- You swagger by peeing in the janitor's bucket.
- (Justin) That's the coolest spot to piss.
You know, you'll forever remember that.
- What an ass[bleep]. Excuse my French.
- (Justin) What are we?
We the [bleep] Wild Kidz, yo!
- (tsks) I need to call his mother. (in video: whooping)
- (Justin) Kidz in this [bleep]!
- (sarcastically) Woo!
- (laughing in disbelief) "[Bleep] Bill Clinton?"
(abashed) Oh.
- What's he going to be like at 40?
- That's sad.
(silence)
That's so sad.
(movie reel clicks)
- (Finebros) So... who was that? - Justin Bieber.
- That's Justin Bratty Bieber.
- (in disgust) [Bleep] Justin Bieber.
- (Finerbros) What do you know about Justin Bieber?
- He's some teenager, I know.
- I understand he got started on MTV,
or maybe YouTube it was. I don't know.
- He started with his own little YouTube home video
or something like that, and it massed out
into this huge popularity.
- He has the same reaction-- or did a few years ago.
A little girl says, "The Beatles did all this when we were 11."
It's nothing new.
- I thought he was nice and wholesome for the little girls,
and thought I wouldn't mind if my granddaughter liked Justin Bieber,
but that changed real fast.
He just went out of control.
- (Finebros) Do you like his music? - No, I do not.
- No!
- I'm completely apathetic about it.
- I don't even know what his music is.
- ♪ Baby, baby, baby ♪-- yeah, I remember that one.
- In my day, we called it-- do they call it anymore Teeny Bopper music?
- (Finebros) So the clip when he won the award,
what did the crowd do and how did he handle it?
- Oh, they were booing and razzing him. They were not happy with that.
- He sounded very defensive.
"(whining) Hey, I'm only-- I'm only 19!"
- (whining) "Give me a break! I'm only 19-- but I'm a true artist."
- And then he tried to cover it up with talking to Jesus. Come on.
- I'll give him credit. He's got balls for staying up there.
- What surprises me about that--
I was in the business for so many years--
that he wasn't alerted to that.
Someone should've prepared him.
I don't blame the kid at all.
- (Finebros) In the clip where he had no shirt on
and was just filming himself and kind of laughing,
how did he seem in that video?
- I think he needed more articulation on his thorax.
- He didn't seem very masculine.
- I'd say he's just a little loaded, probably.
- Drugged. He was high on something.
- That "getting high thing" is right out!
Unless you have enough for everybody.
- (Finebros) And finally, what did he do in that bucket?
- Oh, he was taking a leak.
- Urinating in the basement there for some strange reason.
I don't know why.
- Deposited the majority of his intelligence.
- He was pissing in a bucket.
There are bathrooms.
I don't know if he knows bathrooms exist.
- And then he said, "[Bleep] Bill Clinton"...
and I'm like, "I like Bill Clinton."
- (Finebros) So overall, what does it seem like is happening
to Justin Bieber? - I think he's becoming more arrogant.
- He got lost. He's so lost.
- He's going more and more with his shirt off.
- His attempts to be "gangsta with street cred" is an epic failure.
- He's the kind of kid that, when I was working
as a school psychologist, I'd probably put him in a special school!
- Justin, to me, does not handle himself like a man.
He handles himself like a five year old, having a temper tantrum.
(flames crackle) - (Finebros) BURRRRRN!
- (Finebros) Does it make you sad to see Justin Bieber like this?
- (sighs) I-- I'm sorry, I can't have too much empathy for him.
- No, I think this is terribly funny. (laughs)
- It makes me sad to see it happen to anyone.
- Absolutely, it makes me sad.
It makes me angry in a way.
- And yet we see it happening and nobody stops it.
- I hope he gets help. I really do.
'Cause I could just see him going down,
like the kid on Glee who just passed away.
- (Finebros) On this show, we talk about how things change
over the generations, but with child stars it's always been this way.
Why do you think that is? - I think it's worse more nowadays
because of the social media.
- Because we like to see people fail.
Because it makes us feel bigger.
- They grow up to a certain age and, all of a sudden,
nobody wants them.
That has to be just very hard to deal with.
- I think wealth has a lot to do with it.
People focus too much on wealth instead of what's right and wrong.
- These kids are often pushed and pushed to stay in it
so their agents and the people behind them can make money.
I truly believe that.
- We put these people on some sort of pedestal
and, as a result, they really don't know how to deal with society.
And they are surrounded by people, whether it's a sports figure
or an entertainment figure, that, frankly, tells them
how wonderful they are 24 hours a day.
Every once in a while, all of us need a good slap side to the head.
It's amazing to me that these people tend to
both constantly get away with it,
and constantly repeat the behavior.
- (Finebros) And with your life experience,
what advice would you have for young people
and how to deal with fame? - Become a plumber.
- Stay humble.
- You don't have to be wild to get a good high.
- Save your money because in 10 or 15 years
you probably won't be famous.
- Get an education.
Have other interests, not just have everything
put into the fact that you're famous.
You have to become a more rounded person.
- Try to show a little more maturity.
You'll keep most of your fans. You really will.
- Thanks for watching another episode of Elders React.
- Let us know in the comments what we should watch next,
but please, no more Justin Bieber.
- See ya later!
- Goodbye, everybody. Have a great day.
- Thanks for being subscribed and we'll see you next time.
