Definitely interesting, plus some funny Bieber quotes. His statement about his turning 21 and his recent experiences and its influence on his singing as if he now sounds like he's a grizzled old blues singer...Some other ones too about the synth sounds and Poo Bear

has aged into his roided-up body pretty nicely

smh so hard when Bieber talks about how "expensive" the sounds are in that vid. also his new single is out. pretty underwhelmed considering I do enjoy "where are you now."

it's kind of slight... doesn't take up much space. i don't know, it's not bad. it could grow on me.

that video is hilarious. skrillex comes off like a solid dude though.

it sounds like a tropical house edit of steve winwood's 'valerie'

otm, I was pretty surprised, I don't like what he does but the way he talks about it is interesting. diplo sounds like a middle manager explaining how the supply chain works

I quite like the song. I just wish they'd found something more interesting to happen in place of those whiny do doo doooo synth squeals.

is there a bieber song that people have agreed to like yet
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Saturday, 29 August 2015 10:34 (eight years ago) link
idk if it's bad, but it's def boring. still prefer the arena electro of "beaauty and a beat" by far (though if we wanna talk shite lyrics, that one takes all)
― soyrev, Saturday, 29 August 2015 11:34 (eight years ago) link
"heartbreaker" has gotta be his best song top to bottom though, drake jocking outro switchup and all
― soyrev, Saturday, 29 August 2015 11:35 (eight years ago) link
feel like it's sort of interesting that a pop star can be massive for six years without one song which approaches music-crit consensus: perhaps unique in the 20th century

its cause he a teen idol not a proper pop star
― lag∞n, Saturday, 29 August 2015 14:41 (eight years ago) link
It's also because he has multiple good songs
I'm partial to "as long as you love me" although big Sean on that ...

ok man I'm calling your bluff here there's no distinction between these two terms in 2015, it's just different marketing departments
not sure I actually believe that so if it provides better grist let's go instead w/Bieber's been doing this for seven years. that's way out of teen idol range, teen idols rise and fall and are forgotten. Bieber's a pop star with a very young base, which is different from a teen idol

"Baby" doesn't approach critical consensus?
― timellison, Saturday, 29 August 2015 20:02 (eight years ago) link
not really. it's kind of his legacy song because it broke YouTube records and YouTube has been the catalyst and primary metric for most of his success, but it's not remotely his biggest radio hit, and critics never really cared about it. they did briefly care about "Boyfriend" because it/the video were transparent Timberlake career narrative cosplay, but that didn't last long.

bieber's feature on the new travis scott album is great. his part surprisingly fits in really well.

seven years is a long time for a teen idol but a good chuck of that reflects the industries fevered attempt to sell him to a wider audience, like he hasnt really been a hitmaker since 2012
― lag∞n, Sunday, 30 August 2015 14:55 (eight years ago) link
which is somewhat obscured especially around these parts cause we live in an era where critics love teen pop lol
