The music video for Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber's new hit single, "Somebody To Love" remix featured backing vocals from his mentor Usher, has premiered during the dancing competition "So You Think You Can Dance" Thursday night on FOX. The new song "Somebody to Love" is the second single taken from his chart topper "My World 2.0" and the video is actually a good fit with the dance show.This particular dance-heavy clip was shot in May and was directed the famous Dave Meyers who is responsible for many of Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne's videos. In the past, Bieber has merely teased fans with funky dance moves, but in the new video for his single "Somebody to Love," the teen pop star really lets loose, showing off some impressive choreography, channeled R&B superstar Usher and with dance group Poreotics, who recently won season 5 of Randy Jackson's "America's Best Dance Crew" show. The video also features a cameo from "Beat Freaks," who were runners up on season 3 of same show. "It's really awesome to be able to work with professional dancers, you know, people that were in, like America's Best Dance Crew," Bieber himself stated.
While Bieber's videos thus far have had a story line, this one is really just Bieber and various dancers backing him up for the club-friendly pop tune, while he and Usher display their keen skills in all things pop-and-lock. Meyers said about working with Bieber on this particular video, "[We're] bringing Justin into the world of dance on this one, giving Justin the chance to integrate to different styles of dance," Meyers says in the video. "So we kind of kept it simple with the art direction, just real graphic and really highlighting the dance. No big story lines, no crowds of people, just real clean."
The tune is a dance track that finds Bieber professing his love for a girl, telling her he doesn't need much else — just her. "It's basically about somebody to love," Bieber laughs. "It's cool. It's young. It's nice. I think it's like a universal record." The new video for song is almost as good as getting hooked on a catchy summer single. An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find inside Bieber. But all it takes is one listen to the 16 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers. The Canadian pop star will embark on a sold-out U.S. tour next week.
