Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House while in Amsterdam for a concert. His entry in the guest book is:
"Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.’” http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/14/showbiz/bi......dex.html Is it the money, the parents, the educational system... or am I just old? |

Any publicity is good publicity. I think the museum recognizes that.
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment.......1316316 Bieber toured the Anne Frank House with his friends and security detail for about an hour while his fans and others waited outside, said Maatje Mostart, a museum spokeswoman. “He was very interested in (Anne Frank’s) story,” Mostart told the Daily News on Sunday. “It’s great that he’s been here, and we hope a lot of his fans will want to read about Anne Frank ... We really think that it’s great that a 19-year-old person wants to know who Anne Frank was and know more about her.” Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, is willing to cut the Canadian crooner some slack. “If you read Anne Frank’s diary, she was into celebrities, she was into pop culture,” Foxman said. “So for (Bieber) to say he would have hoped that she would have been a fan, it’s a nice thing.”

Anne Frank was very much into Clark Gable. A visit to Anne Franks house should be high on anyone's list of places to see before you die. I have never been in such a small space (downstairs museum) with so many people and you could almost hear a pin drop. Very sobering experience. Anyone who believe's the Holocaust never happened needs to pay a visit to this house. Might make a them think twice. In the early 70's Anne Frank's Father (Otto Frank) was giving the tours. Iven

Anne Frank was truly inspirational...
Why couldn't she have been a Belieber? She was of that age group that his female fans are, what's the problem? It's just liking pop songs right? It's not like he said she would like Scientology. Or are you saying there is something sinister about Justin Bieber's songs that Anne Frank would not be right, or it would be insulting to her memory, to like them? I don't really like Bieber's songs but I don't think they're wrong or sinister. So... What's the problem? Add to that... Quote: On 2013-04-16 06:43, irossall wrote:

I feel sorry for people who have to listen to crap music. I listen to adult alternative music, and the only PBS adult alternative music radio station in the country is in Philadelphia. The unwashed masses have to listen to top 40, easy listening, or music from the 80's. I would never move away because the only real music is on Satellite (pay radio) or WXPN in Philadelphia.

Yes Al, it's hard to find great radio stations anymore.
As for Bieber, I'd say Clueless in Amsterdam. When I visited the Anne Frank house, I was totally moved. Couldn't image giving myself a plug. Like I said "Clueless".

Pakar,
As a musician I do appreciate virtually every GENRE of music, but, my friend, that doesn't mean I should appreciate every performer. I love The Beatles, I love Black Sabbath. I am not a fan of The Stones (they rode the Beatles' coat tails) and I REALLY loathe the "music" of AC/DC and Ted Nugent. Give me Rachmaninov anyday, but John Cage, not so much even though I appreciate his genius. The music industry has become so pre-packaged and plasticized. While Bieber and Gaga are raking in millions because of gimmicks, artists like Dream Theater - all Julliard and Berkeley grads - are still relatively unknown compared to the dead meat wearing Gaga anfd the all in one boy band Bieber. Namaste, Vlad |

If you don't like anything, up to you, but don't dismiss it just because it belongs to any "type" of music is all I'm saying. Have a listen, even to Malaysian Cultural Music even, and if you don't like it, fine.

The incredible stupidity of his comments were in the making of Ann Frank's house all about him.
The bigger the ego the emptier the brain. She would not have been a 'belieber', as he wasn't born then, and she would be 84 by now.
We dance an invisible dance to music they cannot hear.

Exactly. This has nothing to do with wether you like Bieber's music or not, but a total lack of respect for what went on during that period.

Yeah, but the Nazis had cool uniforms. I'll bet Anne would have been turned on by it, had Justin been wearing one.

The spokesperson for the museum was not offended by the comment. The quote went something like, "Think about it... He took time to come and visit the museum.. He's 19.. His comment was innocent."
