For half the world, today is a day to rejoice–Justin Bieber will be making an appearance in the season premiere of CBS’s hit crime drama “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” For the other half of the world, today is a day of mourning–because he won’t be playing a corpse.

While many are quick to bemoan the young pop-star’s leap to television, this isn’t the first time a not-all-that-talented musician has broken into acting.  In recent memory, we’ve seen Britney Spears  on “How I Met Your Mother,” and even Sean Combs (or Diddy or whatever he’s now called) guest starring in several episodes of “CSI: Miami.”

So why are people so quick to attack Bieber for taking the same step? Here are the biggest concerns:

He can’t act

First off, most pop-singers aren’t going to be great actors. Because you know, they were taught to sing, not act. Heck, we all know what happens when actors try to make a similar jump into the music industry, although to be honest, we still believe this was the underrated hit of the 80s.  It’s also pretty obvious that most guest appearances are just to boost ratings. Whatever the case, we should give the guy a chance. There was a time when many people thought Justin Timberlake was going to be an awful host for SNL. Now, he’s one everyone loves to see. He also gave us the greatest anniversary gift idea, ever.

He’s Justin Bieber

Mr. Bieber is everywhere at the moment. It’s hard not to wake up and not instantly start thinking about what he’s thinking about (what if he was thinking about what you were thinking about?). We think the same uproar would occur if Ke$ha announced she was guest appearing on True Blood. Not that we wouldn’t want to see her torn apart by werewolves. Needless to say, the more a celebrity like Justin becomes a part of our everyday media consumption, the more we resent them. Unless we’re 11-year-old girls. Then it’s the basically the second coming of Christ.

He will ruin the show

Seriously? It’s CSI…you can have an entire episode dedicated to the CSI team conducting a drug raid on Lindsay Lohan’s house, and even that would make for exciting television. Actually, that’s a really good idea. Someone get CBS on the phone.
