The choice of song, 'With You' by Chris Brown, and the poster in the background of TuPac show his musical influence, which perhaps seemed lost when he began to make music with a record label.

Although he also has taken part in acting and other work, music is predominantly his main career. Justin's genre of music has changed over time, beginning with teen pop and as both him and his fans have grown up, changed to more RnB and EDM sounds.

It was stated that his mum controlled his YouTube account, Kidrauhl, and uploaded covers to share with friends and family, not expecting his videos to blow up as much as they did. Justin portrays a 'regular' star image through his personal background: being brought up by a single parent, attending a regular state school and suffering with money problems. It could be argued Justin fits the star image of 'rags to riches' coming from nothing and now being one of the most successful artists in the world, as well as the underdog, since he landed his fame and fortune so unexpectedly. ]]> 2020-03-27 12:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/478225421 201191713 https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/478256182 This interview shows Justin's mum discussing her past, how she was sexually abused and involved with drugs and alcohol and how she brought Justin up as a single mother with little money, a thing many women can identify and relate to.]]> 2020-03-27 12:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/478256182 201191713 https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/478264608 This article discusses how Justin cries in public and he argued back to the media criticism stating: "I'm just being a normal person and crying."

These examples present a stereotypical 'Rock Star' demeanour: getting involved with drugs and alcohol, getting arrested, being rude and careless to paparazzi, and overall behaving in a negative way, fitting into a 'Bad Boy' star image. I think the media reaction to this was so great due to this being such an unusual period for Justin.

In this episode Justin talks about the mixture of drugs he did and that he was diagnosed with Lyme disease. This demonstrates a completely raw and honest view of his star image. He takes on the role of 'survivor' here, showing his desperation to survive and get past this. He also takes the blame and responsibility for his past actions. Justin also introduces his nurse and speaks about how appreciative and grateful he is to them, lining back to the humble Justin we saw when he first found fame.]]> 2020-03-27 22:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479241467 201191713 https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479246201 This Instagram post from 2019 includes a long, heartfelt caption about Justin's anxiety: "fight for what you love and who you love don’t let fear and anxiety win." This is a message fans can identify and relate to, seeing Justin as a 'hero' and a 'survivor.' He also speaks a lot about his relationship with God and how this helped with his mental health.]]> 2020-03-27 22:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479246201 201191713 https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479247634 A post from Justin in 2016 stating he is cancelling his meet and greets for the sake of his mental health. 
"The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders." This shows that the star image Justin has created through the media, his music, and online presence, fans expect him to act like all the time, including when they finally meet him. This is an authentic thing to do and portrays Justin as mature and responsible, putting his mental health first before his career and making money. ]]> 2020-03-27 22:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479247634 201191713 https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479282887 Justin's love life has been a significant part of Justin's career, linked to many female stars that have their own music careers, have appeared in his music videos, or famous models. This was and still is widely spoken about by the media as a gossip column, due to Justin's level of fame and his fanbase being made up mostly of young females, everyone had an opinion.

This interview portrays them as a normal couple as they state "marriage is effing hard." This is relatable to other couples who understand the struggles of marriage. The interviewer writes: "He produces long, anxious exhalations, he gets the giggles, he apologizes if he’s making me nervous." which again adds to this humble and human persona. In contrast to this, the clothing they have chosen to wear: a Prada suit and Pack Rabanne create a rich and luxurious star image of both celebrities.

This engagement/marriage came as unexpected to the media and fans, as Justin kept this relationship a lot more private than he did his and Selena's. During the most recent years it seemed like he tried to seperate the public and private sphere to protect himself. Hailey also played a big role in helping Justin with his mental health as Justin regularly thanks and shows Hailey off via is social media.]]> 2020-03-28 00:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479295341 201191713 https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/479299403 This fan made video shows Justin and Selena's relationship over the years.

His posture and body language create an anxious and nervous star image, constantly tapping his foot and looking downwards. This contrasts a lot to his body language in earlier interviews. He states he "wasn't in a place to be faithful", "seeing me with other people hurt her" this brings the star image of unfaithfulness and cheating into question.

Again this emphasises their close relationship and a portrayal fans, especially female, will value and find attractive.

Their Beverly Hills home came with the price tag of $8.5 million. This presents Justin's star image as rich, luxurious and successful. It creates him to not be as recognisable and identifiable to a younger audience as this isn't something a normal person can afford, thus they can't relate to him. This also shows contrast to his lifestyle before he became famous, and the houses he could afford. An audience may see Justin as more deserving of a house of this cost due to his background and hard work, in comparison to celebrities who were born into money and fame, e.g. Kylie Jenner. This creates a positive star image.]]> 2020-03-31 06:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/201191713/5qjy3somkcc2/wish/483631942
