LISTEN > Bieber's Song About Paternity Claims: Appropriate or Odd?

Justin Bieber was faced with some pretty serious charges in November when 20-year-old Mariah Yeater claimed she was mothering the young pop star's child. It didn't take long for the whole thing to blow over, but it was enough to inspire Bieber to write a whole song about the experience. He changed the name a little bit to "Maria" and calls the baby a "she," though the baby was a boy, but the reference is obvious.

In May, Bieber explained, "The whole baby situation, where they said I had her baby -- totally not true, by the way -- I wrote a song about that. It's kind of my 'Billie Jean.'" Now that his sophomore album "Believe" is out, you can give the track a listen and let us know what you think. Is the song an appropriate response to the situation, or is it a weird way to deal with the trouble?

    Michael Jackson did the same thing when he wrote "Billie Jean" so idint see the problem. This song does, however, give Mariah Yeater exactly what she was looking for: ATTENTION.

    Sorry Bieber, don't compare your song to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean...he was an artist.

    Can he write songs? Most who sing cannot and that is why they sing instead of write.

    I think that its a little weird that he would make a song like that if he's trying to follow in MJ's steps,but if he needs 2 let something out that's been buggin the crap out of him then let him like comeon same happend with Blood On the Dance Floor if some of u guys know them,they made the wrote the song You Done Goofed because of that 11 year old who accused Dahvie of rape just to get attention and all that was drama so u can imagine why they make a song about it also because its usualy big news:P

    Idk. I can't believe I watched the video...Only his lil brainwashed fans would enjoy. Poorly written junk he's making money on. ...needs to take that glove off. 5 yrs from now he'll be the same scrawny lil fella ... Hopefully Washed-out and sitting in a bar with Lindsey Lohan singing karaoke.

    Lol He's no Michael. So copying one of the most talented is somewhat a slap in the face. Respect issue for music history. He is not and never will be 1/16th of the Moonwalking Man! (;

    its not odd, its pathetic. All hes doing is drawing out this "scandal" by making a poorly written song about it too. And since all the little beliebers support him in his defense that hes not the father, theyll buy it. He says he was considering quitting music after the whole affair, and then makes a song about the affair. Pathetic worm milking money out of the whole thing

    He's clearly trying to copy Michael Jackson's Billie Jean (the child is not my son)..
    The song is a bit narcissistic in my opinion.

    I bet he's gonna follow in his footsteps and watch he's gonna be washed up like MJ was and he's. (Gonna molest kids) JKJK on that last one id believe he molested the kids,butt even if he did the only reason I could think y he did that was because all of the girls that loved him and put him under preasure so he couldn't take it but MJ has a good soul may him rest in peace._.<3

    It is not Billy Jean, but the kid has to start somewhere. Wonder if his fans have ever listened to Michael.

    Justin Bieber is finally begining to look more masculine. (He looked like a girly boy 1 or 2 years ago).

    He's grown from an odd kid to an odd young adult.

    His latest (obviously staged) "accident" where he hurts himself is the most obvious cry for help I've seen from someone in the public eye in a long time. Spears' haircut is probably the last one to reach this level.

    speak the truth in an interview... fine.
    make a song about it? WAY over the top..
    and unfortunately i listened to as much of the song as i could and honestly i thought it was garbage.
    for sure it's no Billy Jean.

    Not a Bieber fan but I think the lyrics are kinda funny. I should've picked Odd just because he has a weird voice. It's kind of slow and dragging. It should've been faster. I couldn't even listen to the whole thing.
