I remember how MJ didn't speak to the press (no in depth interviews and open letters) from 1982-1988 and continued to slay and snatch while they were having their fun. It just made him more mythical and epic. The crowds of fans and mobs became more interested in him. He was called a woman, gay, virgin, asexual, wacko jacko, transsexual, and not mention a few race related articles here and there. That didn't stop the album sales and record breaking tours. And here is Bieber, but hurt over a few sensational rumors. If you feel that you're winning, don't give them the time of day. He's so insecure about his accomplishments it's funny.
