NEW VIDEO: Justin Bieber – As Long As You Love Me [Ft. Big Sean]

Bieber still hasn’t completely sold me on his music career, but I do think this song is one of the stronger ones from his album. The video,however, not so much. It kept my attention and and all that, but other than that, I didn’t see anything that would make it stand out from any other video with the same kind of approach. He definitely has enough fans to keep him going for a while, but still hasn’t sold me.

NEW MUSIC: Justin Bieber – Beauty and the Beat [Ft. Nicki Minaj]

I think it’s safe to say the Biebs album has leaked, with this new leak of ‘Beauty and the Beat’ featuring Nicki Minaj.This is a little better than his previous release of ‘As Long As You Love Me’. It still has a bit of dance/pop feel to it, but his voice fits so much better on this than the other tune. The added feature of Nicki Minaj is not worth it. The track as a whole is just there, and does nothing iconic, which is what he should be doing to keep his career in full effect.

All that being said, he has enough die hard fans that will love his music no matter what, but this album is becoming less interesting each day.

NEW MUSIC: Justin Bieber – As Long As You Love Me [Ft. Big Sean]

Justin has been hit or miss, but this one is caught me in the middle. ‘As Long As You Love Me’ features Biebs vocals across a dubstep infused beat, and I just don’t like it. I like everything about this song separately, but not together, if that makes sense. The beat is so hot, his vocals are great, but the 2 of them together just doesn’t work. His voice is too smooth and innocent for a hard hitting tune like this. Big Sean’s verse is good, but Justin Bieber is trying to hard to be a mix of genres when his voice doesn’t live up to all of that.

But who knows, this track could definitely grow on me, like some of his others.

I will still check out this album when it drops

NEW MUSIC: Justin Bieber – Die In Your Arms

Justin Bieber is back trying to keep the ‘Boyfriend’ momentum going with his new single ‘Die In Your Arms’. I do have to admit, this is miles better than ‘swaggie’ and with a sample of the Kings ‘We’ve Got a Good Thing Going’ he adds his own little Jackson 5 touch to it. His voice still has to grow on me a little more but the high pitched voice that he still carries fits perfectly over a old school pop beat rather than trying to be a mini version of the nonexistent legend that is Justin Timberlake.

Perfect timing for him to come back right now, seeing the charts are full of dance/pop music and he comes out with this, its definitely time for some new flavors on the chart and I wouldn’t mind this blasting through the airwaves.

2012 Billboard Music Award Performances

This year was definitely interesting as far as performances go. The trend of female slayers continues, as both Carrie Underwood and Nelly Furtado took the awards for best performances. Goodie Mob definitely gave some points to the guys performances by slaying the EPIC ‘Fight To Win’ track, aside from the awkward one legged dancer they had.

While Justin Bieber is still trying to make ‘swaggie’ happen and Usher, while putting on a decent performance, is still promoting his Street Fighter dance track ‘Scream’. Chris Brown mimes the whole song while putting on a amazing dance number, but lets be honest, we have seen what he can do and we would like him to progress a little more.

NEW MUSIC: Justin Beiber – Boyfriend

First, I am in no way shape or form part of the ‘Beliebers’ and so this review is strictly from a fan of music.

Probably one of the biggest moves in The Biebs career is going to be how to transition from teen pop, to his adult genre. He has dropped many features with the likes of Drake, Usher and Busta. He has rapped countless times in many radio stations, and so we all thought he was going to go more R&B with his next album. This new single ‘Boyfriend’ was compared to the non-existent legend that is Justin Timberlake. With that comparison I was a bit hesitant to listen to this track.
