With American Idol, Xfactor and YouTube available to the public, it seems very easy for people to become famous now days. Music artist Justin Bieber discovered Carly Rae Jepsen in 2011 by posting a video of her singing on YouTube. Justin says, “I clicked on her video and the moment I heard her voice, I knew I had to let the world hear her amazing talent”.  Justin called her and asked her if she wanted to come and meet him and discuss her career of singing. Justin then decided to sign her on his label and she has now successfully released her first single Call Me Maybe.  Her official music video posted on YouTube currently has 189,108 views and is still getting more views daily. Call Me Maybe is now ranked number four on music’s top forty. In 2011, Ellen DeGeneres on the Ellen show called Justin and Carly on her show to talk about the discovering of Carly Rae Jepsen. She said that the phone call Justin made to her was the most miraculous thing that had ever happened to her. “With her talent, anything is possible for her right now” says Justin.  

Julia K.  Says  “We as a country should not be getting more famous people. I think that Carly doesn’t have the talent to be famous and that she should just give up now”. Personally, I think that if you have a dream of being a singer, then go for it. The last thing you want people telling you is give up now. In 2007, she placed third in the fifth season of Canadian Idol, and was a part of the Canadian Idol Top 3 concert tour. She has already been doing so well and hasn’t been in the industry for a long period of time. I think that she should follow her true talent and not care what negative things people think about her.
