Sharon Osbourne Says Justin Bieber Won’t ‘Stand Test of Time,’ Singer Fires Back

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages.com)

Justin Bieber may be one of the biggest stars in the world, but Sharon Osbourne predicts the singer’s star may soon fade — all because of his youthful looks.

At the National Radio Conference in Sydney, Australia, the “Talk” cohost reportedly said Bieber “is a really great little guy. But that’s his problem — he’s a little guy.”

Osbourne explained, “His fans are growing up, they’re 18, 19-year-olds now… they’re young women. And he still looks like that little boy!”

The “America’s Got Talent” judge offered, “He needs some hair, or something… I just don’t think, from my gut — maybe my gut’s wrong because it’s not 100% — but I don’t think he’s going to stand the test of time.”

Osbourne went on to add, “But you know what, I don’t feel sorry for him, because he’s made oodles and he’s a fabulously nice person and he’ll go on to do something else.”

Now, Bieber is responding to Osbourne’s statements, remaining cool and collected about the TV personality’s prediction that his end is near.

The Biebs tweeted on Sunday, “doubt me….i like it.”

He then addressed Osbourne directly, writing, “Not worried sharon,” along with a link to his “Beauty And A Beat” music video.

Gossip Cop reached out to reps for Osbourne to confirm her comments.

    I agree with Sharon but more because the talent just isn’t strong enough. Though he does still look like a little boy. Also most of his fans are a lot younger then 18 or 19. I took my 10 year old girl to one of his concerts and it’s filled with little girls. lol Time will tell.

  • Rose

    With no talents like her kids are, maybe she should keep her trap shut.

  • http://www.facebook.com/michael.john.sass Michael Sass

    His looks won’t be a problem, his complete lack of talent will be his downfall.

  • Lisa

    He’s gonna be just like the “Teen Beat” guys from my day. Anyone seen Leif Garrett lately?

  • sweetlil97

    who?

  • Rose

    That guy is just going to get better looking with time.

  • Rose

    I just took a look at pictures of justin’s dad to see how he’s going to look when he grows up. Woo, hot. I compared what jack Osborn looks like to beiber. Good thing the Osborns are rich. Lmao!

  • thecat61

    I agree with Sharon 100%

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Anna-Paolinelli/100003895611721 Anna Paolinelli

    Right now it seems like he’s been around for an eternity. My 14 and 11 year old nieces are thankfully over him; but I do know a couple of little girls under 10 who worship him.

    Sharon Osbourne has been in the music industry for decades and has seen many people come and seen many people go so I think she knows what she’s talking about. But then again, who couldn’t predict this. Of course he won’t stand the test of time, not many male solo teen heartthrobs do. His days are numbered imo

  • http://twitter.com/AHomnick Aziza Homnick

    if he has boyish looks now, he will in the future…it isn’t his looks, it’s his singing that hasn’t fully matured yet that will decide his fate

  • dchopsey

    I cannot agree with Sharon. I think Justin will stand the test of time. God blessed him with the looks and the TALENT. Those who say he has no talent; JEALOUS. And he also has a good head on his shoulders and the determination. We will see who is right, Sharon or Justin’s true fans, who love him.

  • deeeeep

    Of course he is going to fade away. Most of them do. What ever young girls see in him wont carry over to adulthood. For a long time to come he will be reported on in the tabloids. But at some point he wont be able to sell much music. After all he is really not that talented. There are a lot of young kids that have equal talent that just never go the breaks. The Jones Brothers said that they were the next Rolling Stones and they are pretty much gone.

  • Rose

    It is sad, how people want to be so cruel to others. I am not even a fan…just an objective observer. By the way, he is tall enough to look well proportioned standing next to Osborn, doesn’t he? And I cannot imagine she is wearing flip-flops.

  • Princeton

    Honestly I don’t like either. But Sharon should keep her mouth shut cause JUST a few months ago on her show she was kissing his ass . ALL the belieber I know and see on twitter are all his age and older. Clearly she doesn’t know the dedication of his fans. Ask them! Those girls are going nowhere and they’ve made it really clear too. People may not like him but go watch his film never say never . If you say his fans are young girls you could be no farther from the truth.

  • Tyler

    Honestly tho…. Name all previous teen stars… Now lets hold Justin’s awards, success, and wealth agains the previous ones. There honestly isn’t a comparison. The kid has won more than all of them. He’s 18 and won over 80 awards broken over three records and has the biggest fan base of any of those Guys. He even has parents ad guys that’s are fans and call themselves boy beliebers. I mean honestly you guys have to talk to these beliebers. They can hold their own. I don’t like him either but I can face facts. I har no reason to hate the kid he didnt do shit to me. I’m just glad he’s being a positive role model to kids than some of these other stars. Why hate him? I don’t Even know him. This lady had Justin on her show talking about how much she loved and supported him. Now this? Seems like she wants attention to me. She knew what she said would start backlash. She’s an adult. Why even comment on a kid? Come on now.

  • LClarie

    Sorry but people in this world digust me. Yall are so happy and just so eager to see this guy fall its ridiculous. You can’t deny the jealousy there. Sorry but if that were my kid, Justin or any star that’s young id want them to achieve and do good in life not fail. Sorry but I root for people not wait to see them fall. I guess I was raised properly. To want people to succeed in life. I want to succeed so I’m not gonna spend my time wanting others not to. I’m too mature for that. I believe that if you have nothing to say… Say nothing at all. People in Hollywood thirst after attention and controversy. Sigh

  • Peter

    Exactly. Justin is about 5″9. I met the kid in la. My son and daughter are both 19 and 20 and they love the guy. I don’t get it. If you don’t like him fine but hate on him? Sounds a but immature for my taste. Justin is by far taller than her he’s a teen. And constantly dances on a stage of a sold out tour he’s bound to be skinny from the weight lost. He sold out Madison square in 30 seconds and the whole country in one hour. If he is fading I’m yet to see it.

  • Ms. Chevious

    Get out of here! Did they really say that!
    That’s freaking hilarious! Schadenfreude!

  • American Girl

    Sorry this little POS thinks Americans are evil (because of out health care system) and rape happens for a reason (not that he knows what that reason is).
    Both of those sentiments disgusts me. Not jealous of him just disgusted by how lowly he thinks of the US and women. He wasn’t a success in Canada he came here for his fame & fourtune.
    I root for people with brains and talent to succeed. I think he has neither; just good marketing.

  • Rose

    Peter, it’s a mystery to me, but it seems a horrible fad, to ‘hate’ these days. Particularly if the person in question, is heterosexual. Another strange phenomena. By the way, grown women seem to ‘come onto him’ all the time, as you’ve no doubt seen, when they interview him. His new release with Nikki Minaj was watched by 10.6 million people in the last 24 hours, breaking all previous records. Lmao. Yeah he’s really fading. Like supernova.

  • Rose

    you remind me of the people that said the Stones wouldn’t last.

  • Jason

    You are so stupid it’s laughable. Justin bieber has low respect for women? Are you on crack? If ANYTHING he’s said countless times how young boys need to RESPECT WOMEN. Clearly you didnt comprehend what that girl say. She has the right to we opinion. She didnt ask for yours. Haters are disgusting period. If you say justin disrespects women then you’re out your mind. I highly dislike the twerp but that’s one thing about him I know to be true is his respect for you g women and his female fans. His mother did in fact teach him that. If he disrespects them then show me when he ever disrespected women.

  • Christian

    That boy said he beliebers that things happen for a reason he never sai it was good. I read that interview but to call someone a piece of shit just sounds immature. I can’t stand him but don’t take people words out of context. Did he ever say he hates Americans and the health care system? No. Did he ever say rape was good? No he’s just a Christian that was troubled on the question they asked him. He was damn near 15 years old when they asked him about those things if you honestly think or take to heart that then your not and adult but a child . The interviewers were dumb for even asking young people about things like that.

  • Peter

    Exactly. You dont have to like the kid to he is not going anywhere. I don’t give a damn about his music but why hate him? I have more important things in life to do. I was raised if you don’t like someone then why take up your me tal space “hating” in them. That’s what children do. These adults are acting that way. That’s why kids these days grow up to bully others and cyberbullying. They learn from the parents. I’m just saying I’m sick and tired of getting on an article and these “grown ass people” talk cheap about a kid they don’t even know. They don’t like yet here they are. Talking about him. If you don’t like him then why waste time commenting? It’s ridiculously stupid. I will never understand it.

  • Tish

    These people are intelligent folks. Sadly there aren’t more people like this. Haven’t we learned anything? This all is an exams of bullying. Sorry but lets put yourself in this kids shoes how would you feel I’d someone said these disgusting things about you. Exactly.

  • Nick

    u must haven’t see never say never. Clearly his fanbase doesn’t consist of little girls. He doesn’t have talent? He must do for him to be so successful to the point that Stevie wonder compliments him to mariah Carey and boys to men. He’s must be doing something right lol

  • anon

    disgusting actually that because Sharon wants her own show she feels entitled.. tis whole family are motor mouths.. I dont care fro Beiber but really Sharon thsi was complete BS to comment

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Prudence-Schwartz/100003996356504 Prudence Schwartz

    He means Leif Ericson, Viking boy.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Prudence-Schwartz/100003996356504 Prudence Schwartz

    What has she done the last 20 years beside reality shows and a failed tv talk show that lasted less than ayear? She’s a yapper. She just dissed the British royal family. Her days of promoting Ozzie are over. One thing for sure her face is not standing the test of time.

  • American Girl

    I new all the good Christians would come to his defense!
    I guess I’ve been told. I’ll go crawl under my rock where I belong because I think he’s a talentless twat.

  • Rose

    @ peter There seems to be growing a trend towards hatred. Media outlets go out of their way, to feed us into it. It has always required more effort to say no, I will ‘not’ me unkind, rather than gang up, even on a kid who doesn’t seem to be going out of his way to deserve to be treated badly just because one doesnt like his style of music.

    Now, I am no Nikki Minaj fan, but that has nothing to do with needing to attack her ‘talent.’. I am not crazy for her for reasons of her behavior, not to pass judgement on her fan’s taste in music. I am sharing this because I decided to watch Justin’s new video, which made me also decide to respond to, afterwards, to this blog. Because, despite my initial inclination to have a ready-made prejudice towards Nikki, I ‘gave beibers video a chance.’ ( I like to know what kids are listening to.) So being ‘opened to being opened minded’ I discovered that I really liked his new song. My point being, objectivity broadens us. I am sure your children are proud of you, and I am rather proud that so many people don’t let Sharon tell them what to think.

  • Christian

    Funny when I’m not a Christian at all idiot. Clearly you need to go back and CLEARLY retain what I said. He was a child. Do you actually think he knew how to answer questions like that without offending anyone? No. The interviewer were dumb for web asking him that. That interview was over four years ago . And you say “under my rock where I belong” you just said you belong under a rock. Please learn proper english cause how you are forming your sentences shows your lack of know how. My ne is Christian . Doesn’t mean I am a Christian fool.

  • Michael

    You are an idiot and clearly you have issues. Don’t like him? Why are you here then? It takes a true piece of shit To call someone else that. Grow up .

  • Lol

    Agreed American girl? More like American idiot

  • Lclarie

    Lol she called herself telling you off and made a fool of herself in the process.

  • Peter

    Honestly I have nothing else to add. What you said was perfectly stated and perfectly said honestly. People are sooo fill of hate and cruelty. It’s so pathetic to me. They wonder why all the violence and terrible things happen in the world I starts with hatred like this. These same people talking crap about this kid would be the same ones trying to keep these people’s asses if that was their kid people were talking about. If try don’t like his music fine but they can’t deny who he is as a human being. The video was fun creative cute appropriate and well shot.all his music is appropriate for young people his age. I’m yet to find a crime he has committed. People say he has no talent yet all I see in his is pure talent. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s pure jealousy. If they weren’t jealous they wouldn’t be hating. And yes my kids are proud of me and Justin is good role model for them. So until he proves otherwise then I’m all for him. Sharon should work on her own children. Kelly for example with that ugly colored hair who does NOTHINF but critique what other celebs where when she herself dressed like a clown. And also I recently saw how people hate on Justin and call him “gay” but praise his “girlfriend” sorry. But I’ve seen alot of ms Gomez does. I don’t want my daughter drying jumping guys on a beach like I’ve see her do. If people want to hate try need to make the playing fields even.

  • McManson

    I heard a friend of a friend say they heard he was hanging out on a “rig” in a “shooting gallery” in W. Hollywood!!! Bwahhhhh!

  • Still an American Girl

    What? Have no idea what you’re trying to say. So I can’t RETAIN it since it makes no sense. Glad to hear your “ne is Christian” though. ????????
    Anyone who gives more rights to a collection of cells that are the result of a rape rather than a grown woman is a knuckle dragger (who in my book doesn’t respect women).
    He needs to stop hanging with rapper gangstas but won’t because there is too much money in it. If he grabs that stupid little penis of his one more time I’m going to vomit.
    Baby, baby, baby.
    Jonas Bros were much better role models & singers.

  • Candice

    Lol you are so damn stupid it’s pathetic you say that Christian makes no sense et every word they said made sense. And just so you know knuckle dragger isn’t even a word. To sit up and say that “he doesn’t respect women” because of what he said about rape is stupid on your part. I WAS RAPED. and I ha no problem with what he said. And “if he grabs his little penis” sorry but I find it funny you claim you don’t like him but you claim he grabs his crotch. Which if you watch everyone from Michael Jackson to me hammer they all have done that. He does it cause of his pants to dance. And FYI honey. The Jonas brothers are flops and irrelevant. Those boys can’t even make music anymore that sells clearly you’re a little pressed fan girl made cause the boys you go crazy over arent the slightest interested in you. And he needs to stop hanging with rapper “gangstas” how childish are you? No only is that comment radar. Clearly you need to learn how to respect others your damn self. He hangs with tons of different artist. What does it matter if they’re a rapper or singer? Oh he’s suppose to tell a “rapper” that is by the way still a human being that they can’t be friends cause their “gangstas”? Sorry but even rappers don’t use that lame ass terminology. Rap is music and evidently they’re more successful thank you. Last time I checked Justin’s friends with everyone in the industry not just rappers. And being that the jonas brothers happen to actually be friends with a few rappers themmselves your argument is highly invalid. and since when did jusin make money for having friends? exacrly he doesnt. Please check up on your facts before you try and argue with people.

  • Jim

    You say the Jonas brothers… A boy band that’s nothing but three faggots with autotune too. NOONE gives a shit about weither their good role models or not. Funny you say how great they are yet they DUMPED their “girlfriends” via phone? Oh yeah perfect role model there . Clearly your a little girl pressed cause bieber can make headlines. I dislike Justin but clearly you only dislike him for upstaging your wack faded out boy bad fav.

  • http://twitter.com/ironduck Addie/Annie D

    only time will tell. Who knows, maybe he’ll be the next Justin Timberlake?

  • TzuTzu

    the only name of a teen star i can think of is britney,aguilera and justin timberlake,,, but the rest of them are all gone

  • Carla

    That has nothing to do with tylers statement

  • jackson

    Of course Sharon Osborne is right. How many women in their thirty’s do you know raving about Justin Bieber or even discussing him. They’re not. And let’s not even speculate about boys or men. I don’t know of a single ‘straight’ teenage boy or man listening to Bieber.

    His voice is average at best, his music is confectionery pop, and try as he may looks feminine. Indeed, I can’t stop laughing when he’s on live TV. Trying hard to act masculine does not make you so and adds focus to the fact you are not.

    Bieber’s attitude needs to be reigned in too. Accepting an American Music Award by admonishing the critics who said you wouldn’t last when you’ve only done two CD’s requires hubris and belies credulity. If Bieber is still charting and a relevant singer in 2022, perhaps he can make such outlandish claims.

    And I’m not saying that is not plausible. But, like Osborne inferred, for him to do so he will have to don a more masculine appearance and cease singing songs like “Boyfriend” if he wants to remain popular. Teenagers aren’t good arbiters of career longevity.

    Successful artists with 20+ years have mass appeal to men and women. The fact is Men won’t buy or listen to male singers they think are feminine (Elton John being the exception and he is peerless where music talent is concerned). Even women don’t want to listen to or buy music from a dude prettier than they are.

    [To title her as a TV personality is ludicrous. The woman is a feared powerhouse (yet highly regarded for her prowess) in the music industry and the force behind many Heavy Metal, Grunge bands.]
