Hanson Bashes Justin Bieber's Music: 5 Stars Who Did The Same
Despite Justin Bieber's success and popularity among his fans, he seemingly has a hard time winning over his peers. Hanson, the boy band from the 90s, revealed disgust for the Canadian singer's music on Monday.
Hanson, best known for their song "MMMBop," shared their opinion of the "Sorry" singer's music on Hit 107's "Amos, Cat & Angus" show in Australia.

When Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson were on the Australian radio show, the brothers were asked to play a game called "Whose Song Is It Anyway?" For the game, the trio was instructed to identify a variety of popular songs from past and present.
When Luis Fonsi's remixed version of "Despacito" featuring Justin Bieber surfaced within the game, Hanson didn't recognize it.
When they found out Bieber was responsible for the song, they were not pleased and didn't hesitate to share their feelings.
"I'm glad I didn't know what that was because then I would've had to say 'Despacito,'" Zac Hanson told the radio show's host. "I prefer not to get any venereal diseases, so whenever Justin Bieber gets sort of near me or near my ears… it’s just ear infections, they’re terrible."
Isaac Hanson chimed in to add: "Chlamydia of the ear, it sucks."

The Hanson brothers aren't the only celebrities to publicly bash Bieber.
International Business Times has created a list of five other celebrities that have publicly dissed the "I'm the One" singer and his music.
DRAKE BELL
The former Nickelodeon star had a lengthy Twitter feud with the "What Do You Mean?" singer that dated back to 2012.
Bell and Bieber eventually made up via Twitter, which means all their negative exchanges were deleted. However, one of Bell's best insults from 2013 still remains. "Doings some writing," Bieber tweeted, according to BuzzFeed. Bell snappily responded, saying: "@justinbieber yeah right."
M.I.A.
In an interview with NME magazine in 2010, the "Paper Planes" singer joked about the controversial music video for her song "Born Free" by comparing it Bieber's promo videos. "I find the new Justin Bieber video more violent and more of an assault to my eyes and senses than what I’ve made," she told NME.
The "Born Free" video displays a fair amount of nudity and violence.
THE BLACK KEYS
After TMZ stopped drummer Patrick Carney from The Black Keys at the end of the 2013 Grammy's ended, Carney issued a swift insult.
"I dunno, he's rich, right?" Carney told the TMZ camera crew. "Grammys are for, like, music, not for money. . . . He's making a lot of money. He should be happy."
Once Bieber heard about the comments made against him, he took to Twitter to say: "The Black Keys drummer should be slapped around haha."
AARON CARTER
In 2012, the popular 2000s singer called Bieber out on Twitter for the similarities in their music videos.
As Bieber's smash hit "Beauty and a Beat" debuted in October of that year, Carter quickly shared that he felt Bieber's video reminded him of the video he made in 2000 for "Aaron's Party."
"Justin Biebers new video reminds me of my video 'Aaron's Party,'" Carter tweeted.
LORDE
In 2013, New Zealand pop singer Lorde snubbed Bieber's music in an interview with MTV. She said he wasn't a good "influence" for teens and added Bieber doesn't talk about the struggles teens face in his music.
"I really appreciate that people think that I'm doing something good for the 'kids.' The 'young people,'" Lorde told MTV. "I feel like the influences that are there in the industry for people my age, like Justin Bieber or whatever, are just maybe not a very real depiction of what it’s like to be a young person."
