it sounds like you ' re saying Bieber ' s success is because of his high production and lack of mistakes though , which isn ' t really true . he got picked up by big record labels in the music industry probably because of the way he looked , mixed in with some of his talent . so he had massive promotion along with some great producers . maybe i misread . anyway , the way you give advice also plays a role and also , what kind of advice he ' s asking for . he is a dick to get offended about advice when he asked , but what exactly did you say to him ? did you just start listing off things you thought were wrong about his track ? was it focused on songwriting , or entirely on mixing and producing ? did you point out anything good about the song , to counter your criticisms ?
