Why Shawn Mendes Is NOT the New Justin Bieber

It seems Shawn Mendes is the new Justin Bieber. He is dominating YouTube and Twitter. I would argue that his name is more famous than Taylor Swift in Canada. But can there really be another Justin Bieber?

Shawn Mendes just turned 18 years old, and now he has the whole world listening to his music. Remember Justin Bieber got off to an early start too. Isn’t that something… they’re both Canadian?

Outside Germany, Canada brews the best beer. Outside America, Canada breeds the best singers. Give extra credit to Drake and the Weeknd.

Mendes isn’t old enough to drink alcohol in the United States. However, he’s able to entertain drunken crowds. Maybe, they should increase the drinking age to 24 because that’s when the brain’s fully developed. Or maybe they should lower the drinking age to 18 because that’s when men and women go to war.

Shawn Mendes puts the ‘S’ in Showbiz. Everyday he works hard on his craft to get better. Does he have to Show You? His sound is similar to Nick Jonas‘s Chains. Plus, the Stitches singer knows how to stitch up a track like Lil Wayne.

It’s scary in a good way. You see Shawn still has untapped potential. Picture the young celebrity joining up forces with 5 Seconds of Summer on a possible tour. What if he made an entire album with Fifth Harmony? Let’s hope Camila Cabello stays the course, although it appears she may go solo.

Music needs more Mendeses’ and less one hit wonders. Yes, I love catchy lyrics like you do, but let’s ask ourselves- what’s the catch? Let’s stop sacrificing great music for good.

Everybody has asked is Shawn Mendes the new Justin Bieber? My answer is NO. He is big enough to be his own man. You’ll see.

This summer has been a hot one from Boston to Sydney. In Michigan, we were lucky to get a breeze on Sunday. I was so happy to get that cool air I had finally wanted. Hopefully, it keeps up.

What exactly is “cool air?” I call it a 5 Seconds of Summer Breeze. You see 5 Seconds of Summer defines coolness. And another word for air is breeze. Plus, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin are keeping it up!

Do you feel the heat? 5 Seconds of Summer blazes with the best of them. I guarantee 5SOS can make you sweat. Just ask their 9.6 million Twitter followers if the pop rock band gets them hot and steamy.

Luckily, the band was discovered by One Direction on YouTube. Can you believe it all started in 2011 on a video streaming website? Right now 5SOS are going in one direction for certain. I bet 5SOS never imagined this level of fame in their wildest dreams. It may get to the point where the music group is actually bigger than One Direction.

Did you know this Australian band of high school classmates opened up for One Direction? Now, the question in showbiz is who can open up for 5 Seconds of Summer. In a matter of years, 5SOS have transitioned from entertainment lightweights to heavyweights. Who can deny that they are some of the most famous people on the planet?

What are your favorite 5 Seconds of Summer songs? I like Amnesia, the new Girls Talk Boys, and English Love Affair. You see the You Look So Perfect singers sound so perfect sometimes.

Final thoughts- the 5SOS Rejects have a good story to tell. The truth is that they were rejected. Things weren’t easy at first. However, they persevered instead of perspiring. Relax and take time to enjoy the summer breeze if only for 5 seconds.
