They are prime examples of why the world is unfair. In a few days of hanging around Berklee college of music I met a hundred kids each of whom had 1000x the talent of both these kids combined. JB and RB's success is not from hard work or from natural born talent. It is from dumb luck (rebecca black) or cultivating an image (JB's image/Usher sponsorship).
I'm not sure I would compare them, though. RB is just an internet fad. JB is at least some semblance of a musician: he has a fine singing voice (if a bit buttery, and a very limited range) and he actually does write his own songs. However, you have to remember how uninvolved he (like many 'artists' are these days) is. He wrote the basic song lyrics and -maybe- the chord changes, but the studio supplied the entire track. He is not involved in the musical production outside of singing, and any musician can tell you that singing is only a small part of the creative process of creating a song. I don't mind him as a person, though. He's got some funny moments. People love to hate him but from what I've seen he's not a bad guy. C:
And while I love that he's into drumming, he really, really shouldn't be drumming at his shows. It's embarrassing. =P
