Justin Bieber's best days are ahead of him (Opinion)

On Justin Bieber’s 20th birthday, the Mirror published a list of his most controversial moments so far. Justin Bieber has been on one hell of a roller coaster regarding his controversial actions in his privacy and in the spotlight since the beginning of his career. His alleged drug use has been a hot topic in the news as well as his on-again-off-again relationship with Selena Gomez. Though most of his actions are received in a negative light, these controversies will ultimately lead to his highest level of success within the next few years.

We’ve seen the very publicized relationship of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber from the beginning; higher than ever in its hey-day, and the unfortunate demise of the biggest power-couple in teen music. His use of marijuana has also been put under a giant microsope as he no longer tries to hide it. Then, in January of 2014, TMZ reported that Bieber had landed himself in jail. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and prescription drugs. Since his fall from grace in 2013, his name has been in the news every day.

This is never a bad thing when it comes to staying as prominent as Bieber was in the spotlight. Many a times, the industry has seen a highly successful actor or musician fall off the face of the earth when they take a few years off of work. Beiber’s last full-length album was released in 2012. Believe did fairly well as it debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped Bieber embark on a world tour. He also made sure 2013 included new music, so he released Journals, a collection of singles he dropped on iTunes, which is no longer available as a whole album. The album gained little buzz and it was soon forgotten. Regardless of whether his music is successful or not, he continues to be the talk of the town due to his crazy antics. This will make it much easier for him to release successful music, as he stays relevant to today’s pop culture.

As Bieber continues to make bad decisions, he will eventually hit rock bottom. Though, of course, no one ever wants to see an artist as successful as he is make a life-changing mistake, this would only benefit him in the future. Once you hit rock bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. And who doesn’t love a great comeback story? Remember Britney’s meltdown circa 2007? Look at her today. We want to avoid this situation with Bieber at any cost, but if the day comes, be prepared for one of the biggest comeback of all time.

Everyone goes through that rebellious stage in their lives, usually it happens between the ages of 18 and 22. Justin is right in that time in his life where he is exploring and trying new things. Obviously not every choice will be a winner, but that is how everyone learns. Eventually, Justin Beiber should hopefully outgrow his immature actions and finally grow into a respectable young man. After all, he is only human.
