May 26, 2017 It doesn’t help that much of the material Bieber has released since 2014 sounds a lot like songs more suited for Chris Brown. Now more than ever, I can’t help but look at Justin Bieber’s success and think, This could have been you, Chris Brown. Time has just been kinder to Bieber than other artists who once were more commercially viable for crossover success. The last time Bieber worked on the same track as Quavo it was for his Migos-featuring song, “Looking for You.” It was okay, but no one heard it and instantly thought, This is the best pairing and they should keep doing this. That said, his voice, while pleasant, isn’t necessarily remarkable enough to make him necessary to carry a song. 1 hits on the Hot 100 with features on DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One” and the remix to Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” which has topped the charts for four consecutive weeks.īieber may not remember his Spanish each time he performs the latter track, but I’m sure he and his label remember how that track and “I’m the One” have made him the go-to artist for a feature. Since the release of both those projects, Bieber has only extended his shining-shining-shining and added two additional No. That’s why Purpose was far more successful: He settled his debt with the public and gave them something to bop to in “What Do You Mean?” Bieber offered growth in terms of his image and the music behind it all. It started with 2013’s Journals, but his personal transgressions largely overshadowed his artistic growth. In addition to his apology tour, Bieber finally cemented a sound that works for him as an adult. In doing so, he managed to not derail his career, keep a sizable portion of the fan base he accrued as a child star, and ultimately expand on it as a bona fide successful adult entertainer. However, the fact that he can even do a stadium tour is a testament to not only his growth as an artist, but being shrewd enough to temper the behavior that was increasingly overshadowing his work. He continues to be apologetic when met with rightful criticism, so we’ll see if he keeps his hands to himself and his body onstage throughout the concerts on his upcoming stadium tour. After all, Bieber seems to still be grappling with megafame given that within the last year he’s punched a fan and stormed offstage. Whether or not he genuinely matured or only cynically presented maturation to the public remains largely debatable. In response to his increasingly soiled reputation, Bieber rather shrewdly spent a year making amends by way of conversations on Ellen, a Comedy Central roast, and online videos conveying the sweet sentiment, “my bad, yo.” There was also that GQ profile that featured a quite candid Bieber acknowledging his mistakes, explaining, “Everyone, when they start growing up, realizes, ‘Man, I did some dumb shit when I was younger.’ It’s not just me … If I could go back, I wouldn’t really change much. It didn’t help that he was increasingly being accused of being rude to his fan base, who rival only David Koresh followers and Beyoncé worshipers (she’s certainly my lord and gyrator) in dedication. Between Bieber’s legal challenges, reports of him abandoning monkeys in Germany (Michael Jackson would never), rumors of substance abuse, and shots of him being carried across the Great Wall of China because apparently his legs stopped functioning, many were starting to write him off. Not that long ago, Justin Bieber was only a few mistakes away from becoming this generation’s Vanilla Ice.
