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.
