Justin Bieber Tries His Best To Smash "Boyfriend" On The Voice''

Justin Bieber must be listening to too much Justin Timberlake lately. From the look, to the "dancing", to even the "Boyfriend" single, everything so far scales down to the point that Justin's label is trying to reincarnate Justin Timberlake's image. Well, the results seem to be mixed.

Instead of showing off the swagger the song requires the artist to have, Bieber's performance on 'The Voice' came across as amateur and try-hard. I've seen much better from him. It was like he was trying to be grown and sexy, but ended up looking like he was auditioning for the show instead.

Justin Bieber Teases With 'Boyfriend' Video

Justin Bieber shows off a grown and sexy new style in the latest preview for his hotly-anticipated single "Boyfriend" (click here for the single review).

The single has been performing exceptionally well, debuting at No. 1  in 32 countries. I'll love to see if this will become his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Watch how the teenaged Justin Timberlake gets vandalised my prepubescent hands.

Justin Bieber - Boyfriend [Single Review]

Prepubescent teen Justin Bieber surely plans on staying in this industry longer than most intended. What better way to demonstrate this growth than by calling sex maniac Mike Posner and letting the paper-thin voiced pioneer handle production credits on his new single "Boyfriend".

Blasting off with a faux-rap over a pounding bass, Justin convincingly tries seducing a girl to join him and Mike for reasons to explicit to explain to my reader(s). Before the chorus kicks in, an eager beaver quickly attempts singing in an attempted falsetto over strummed guitar strings complimented by a whistle-like synths.

Justin Bieber Destroys Careers With "Otis" Freestyle

Stopping by at Power 106’s Big Boy’s neighborhood, Justin Bieber took the time to make DJ Premier eat his words up after Premiere denied Bieber in on any of the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards cyphers. The producer accused Bieber of wanting Ludacris to write a rhyme for him.

"If you ain't writing your own rhyme, you can't do it. So, Justin, you gotta take a backseat on that one," Premier told HipHopDX. 

Well people are about to be shocked after Bieber’s alter ego, “Shawty Mane”, spat some sick verses over Jay-Z and Kanye West’s (also known as “The Throne”) hit “Otis”.

Chris Brown and Justin Bieber premieres apocalyptic ‘Next 2 You’ music video

Chris Brown has been grinding hard with his new album, ‘F.A.M.E’. The next single, ‘Next 2 You’ featuring Justin Bieber, premiered recently.

Set during the apocalypse, the Collin Tilley-clip begins with the two heartthrobs caressing their loved ones, before Justin’s girlfriend’s father fetches her, commanding that the two shall never see eye-to-eye again. Not to long after that, Chris rushes to the window, only to experience a car exploding and face terror that lurks outside in the form of an apocalypse.

The sky begins to darken, buildings start to crumble to the ground and people start running for their lives. It’s not long before Chris runs outside and hunts his girl down, however failing to stop what would happen next; Justin’s girlfriend’s dad knocks into her, leaving her immobilized and unable to escape death. Time stops for a heart-throbbing moment before Chris decides to jump to the other side of the ground to save her, leading to his ultimate demise. We see a few African-like dance moves done by Chris and some Sangomas after this scene and discover that Justin rekindles with his girl, before the video ends.

The video was a great watch and definitely backed up by a big budget, since the label obviously knows that this song will be a huge hit. However, it was a little over-the-top with the storyline but I understood what Collin was trying to accomplish. I just can’t help but think about Britney Spears’ ‘Till The World Ends’ video, only her video was much better and brought the song to life, resulting in me constantly playing the song and becoming one of my most-played songs ever, and also causing a resurgence in sales.

You can watch the Britney-inspired video below.

  

Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift get CMT Nods, Jason Aldean leads

The CMT Awards are on their way and the nominations have been revealed. The nominees were revealed on NBC's Today on Wednesday morning and the online fan voting in all 10 of the awards categories is open until June 7. The show will be taking place in Nashville, Tennessee, the heart and soul of country music, on June 8.

Leading the pack is Jason Aldean, with four nominations to his name. Other nominations include The Band Perry, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and Zac Brown Band who earned themselves three nominations apiece. Kenny Chesney, Sugarland and Carrie Underwood earned two nominations. All of these seven artists are in the running in the top category for video of the year.

Surprisingly, Justin Bieber seems to be at every award show as he has landed a CMT Award nod for his reworked version of “That Should Be Me” featuring country duo Rascal Flatts. He faces though competition against Jason Aldean with Kelly Clarkson for their Billboard top 40 hit "Don't You Wanna Stay," Kid Rock featuring Sheryl Crow for "Collide," Aaron Lewis featuring George Jones and Charlie Daniels for "Country Boy" and Loretta Lynn, Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow for "Coal Miner's Daughter" in the Collaborative Video of the Year category.
