Thumbs down Bieber's fans send Esperanza Spalding death threats.

Sadly, I'll bet at least 40% of these asswipes are lifeless adults.

Once again, ignorance abounds. And it is so easy to be anonymously brave via the internet, but those people would never say that sutff to Esperanza's face.

Hopefully she's smartly ignoring it, and perhaps having a good laugh over it.

Really, 40%? I'd have a very hard time believing that. Not saying that they were incapable but I don't think that many adults would care enough. Seems just about right for hordes of pre-teens and teenagers though.

pathetic.

I mean obviously she's an undeserving, talentless whore bitch just because some idiot pre-teens with an irrational fixation on a manufactured pop idol hasn't heard of her. If that's the only qualifier for this glut of ignorant, misdirected anger, the world is more doomed then it was 4 days ago.

The possibility exists, lol. I'd be much more inclined to believe that the Wiki-terrorists were adults though.

The article does raise a good point, Justin has to know that this is going on. Why hasn't he told he fans to stop? I doubt it would actually have much impact but it would show an act of good faith and maturity on his part. It would be the right thing to do in this scenario. I hope it doesn't bother Esperanza too much.

This is just immature people being immature. I really dislike Bieber fans. The kid seems decent, the obsessed fans annoy me.

this sounds like it's going to happen. I'm not really surprised about this stuff though - some bieber fans are literally insane, of course they're also likely to be the types that watch and read twilight.

so many other teen idol's careers lie dead in Beiber's wake, as Beibs himself will be next year....I am scared of his sucessor already...the fans of this type of nonsense are a real buncha bunny-boilers.

Did anyone see the video on youtube of this justin hanging out with Esperanza after the grammy ceremonies? That young man seem to really like her! He was touching her hair and seemed really into her. I guess I cannot blame a teenager for getting a thrill sitting next to a sexy 26 year old Esperanza!

I've made a couple mean tweets and just might do a couple more. Just to egg on the Beiber-freaks. I like being a ****-stirrer.

IIRC, these idiots also threatened Kim Kardasian (sp?) for being photographed with him.

If I were Justin, it would've been the moment that I publicly told all my fans to STFU and that if they did anything further to hurt my chances with Kim I would personally and happily see to their demise .

Therein lies the problem. He's just a kid whose voice hasn't even changed yet. But you're absolutely right. He (or at least his handlers) should have immediately issued a statement saying how deplorable such comments are, and even praising Esperanza's talents. That would have shown some class on his part, even if it didn't rub off on his Bieber-heads.

Play yard kids stuff, whatever age group sent them, I'd hope Esperanza Spalding would laugh at this silliness more than anything else, that's all it deserves.
