BoJack Horseman Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Did anybody see Justin Bieber Roast on Comedy Central this year? I thought it was hilarious. One of the best events of 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 So I listened to a majority of his new album because I want to do album reviews for my blog and figured why not one of the biggest albums out from the past few weeks in his new one Purpose. I've made it clear in the past that What Do You Mean and Where Are U Now feel like lifeless songs. Well those two aren't even the most lifeless song on the album, his promo single I'll Show You is blander than watching paint dry. But man, I just wanted to point out that R&B Justin Bieber is actually really interesting. Like he doesn't do that breathy thing he relies so heavily on in 2015 and actually just makes good music. Like his two best songs I've heard from Purpose so far are No Pressure and No Sense, both collaborations featuring Big Sean on the former and Travis Scott on the latter. While I still have a way to go before giving every song a shot, I can already tell you that I wish we got more R&B than pop on this because I think Justin Bieber is making better strides in R&B than he has in the past based off this album alone.

70s Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I love the album but I love the three songs you don't like too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the appeal and why you would like the first two as well as anyone else, but can you explain the appeal of I'll Show You. I just don't see how anyone could like him being bitchy about how tough it is to be famous and how we should feel sorry for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanideFishbone Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 You guys heard about this giant shitstorm from him wearing Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, and Metallica shirts? So fucking stupid. And to be completely honest, who gives a fuck about him anymore. I know some people may, but I sure as hell don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how anyone could like him being bitchy about how tough it is to be famous and how we should feel sorry for him. (Slightly biased because I'm tragically a fan.) The song isn't fun so I get not listening to it often. It's not one I have on repeat or anything. But listening to it (and watching the really pretty music video) I appreciated the lyrics and the feeling behind it. I don't think I agree he's necessarily asking for people to feel sorry for him but just to understand what it's like to grow up with such intense fame.

I mean, his number 1 album and number 1 single proves plenty of people still do? Congrats for you tho, thanks for letting everyone know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is coming from someone who's neutral about Justin Bieber. Voice your opinion as you will, but don't pretend that you don't care when you clearly do to some degree.

Katniss Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) I used to hate Justin Bieber's music. I still wouldn't call myself a fan of his, but I like What Do You Mean at least. Edited November 15, 2015 by katnisslovestacos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJack Horseman Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I only listened Baby and it wasn't bad honestly and it can be catchy at times. As for himself, I don't like him as a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katniss Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I've been listening to Purpose in its entirety this evening and I actually dig it! Definitely seems like his most mature and personal album yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Nug Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm with Clappy in that Purpose feels a little lifeless outside of the R&B tracks, which makes sense, since this was basically "Make A Musical and Media Comeback By Creating Top 40 Radio Hits For Every Song: The Album", but I still enjoy it for what it is. Journals I have a newfound appreciation for. It's basically a slightly less polished version of the R&B cuts on Purpose, but an album full of it, and I feel like the whole thing would be super popular had Beiber not been such a douchebag around the time of release (and for a long time after lmao). Lowkey a very good pop/R&B album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drifter Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I always likes his songs since his early days. Although his personality aren't exactly admirable, his songs are still catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
