I would probably buy the whole story if I was an average person oblivious to pop music. Very well done.

Besides being quite long, it was humorous and it fit well. I just wouldn’t believe it. Overall okay. Biased aside, I didn’t judge you on choosing a Justin Bieber song.

Your entry was more cohesive with the example of a Britney song with Britney and Starbucks, was also entertaining to read. I’d sort of believe it, but yet I can’t.

Like, I get it, but it almost isn't outlandish or shocking enough. I can predict the majority of the rest of your entry after reading the first analysis, and that makes it boring.

I re-read this entry multiple times and I just don’t get it. I will give you points for the Enrique comment and that out of nowhere last act.
