Despite his recent run-in with the law and amid all of the controversy lately, Justin Bieber is still feeling pretty "Confident" in his new slick video. Bieber refuses to take no for an answer in his six minute "Confident" video. The 19-year-old lurking through a factory with a sexy new girl of his dreams in the epic visual and pursues her until she, rather inevitably, falls for his charms. That's the clip in a nutshell but there's also some great choreography, a cool party and the superstar's flawless hair.
The Canadian headline-grabber ended his strikingly somber "Music Mondays" series with this tribute to a confident girl who has got 'it.' Like the rest of those songs it features on his already forgotten "Journals" LP, the Chance The Rapper-assisted gem was the highlight of Bieber's "Music Mondays" promotion as Bieber explained to MTV News' Christina Garibaldi this is a song all about "sexual romancing." Backed by a beat that demands you find the closest open space and begin dancing immediately, the ballads and tongue-in-cheek duets from Bieber and Chance talk about being transfixed on the most confident woman in the room.
Awash in moody blue light and using hip-swaying dance moves, the Colin Tilley-directed video finds Bieber pursuing the newest object of his affection outside a gas station. As Bieber follows the lady into the station, uncovering a dimly-lit catacomb of a convenience store. He tails her to the checkout counter, where she's making a purchase of Takis chips. It's from where Bieber tries to pick her up by making a really awful pun. "Well, I'd like to Taki to you on the phone," Bieber tells her. She laughs, but he's rejected.
She hops on her motorcycle and drives off. But wait! It just so happens that they end up at the same dance club! This time, Bieber goes for a different approach. Instead of talking, he just goes in for the kill, as Bieber admits to Taki ignorance, pays homage to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" stalk-fest with smooth choreography, singing about how into her he is, and give Chance his biggest-yet opportunity to show up in front of kids' eyeballs. In the end, Bieber surprises his love interest with a sensual kiss that was so intimate it almost made us blush! He asks her, “Can I have your number now?” And she breathlessly answers, "Yes."

Justin Bieber is back and all grown up, as he has found a fresh object of his affection and made "One Less Lonely Girl" out of Cailin Russo when he cast her to play his love interest in his newest music video for "All That Matters," which was produced by Diplo and released as the second promotional single from Bieber's "Music Monday's" campaign. There’s no word yet on whether the Music Monday tracks will end up on a new album since Bieber has not yet announced plans for a full album.
The Canadian pop sensation explained the background to the sexy R&B track: "The lyrics of this song are pretty self explanatory," he said, "when you fall in love with someone, that someone can make you feel whole. I feel like anyone who has been in love knows what I mean. The song conveys that being in love is one of the greatest feelings on earth. Love is all that matters. But the void you feel when love goes away is gut-wrenching. I worked so heard on this song in the studio - trying to put that feeling into music was extremely important to me. I'm happy to share it with you."
Russo, the 19-year-old California native model, who became one of the most re-blogged faces on the net after her Tony Kelly shoot for American Apparel, had no idea whose music video she was auditioning for, let alone that she would be the only girl cast. When she arrived on set, she was equally clueless as to what would be expected of her. "I didn't know what was going to happen because the song is super romantic, and since the shoot was set up a certain way, I didn't even know if we would be shooting together," she tells Cosmopolitan. "But the first take was us kissing!"
The Colin Tilley-directed raunchy and dimly lit clip isn't filled with Bieber's usual choreographed dance routines. Instead, the teen heartthrob has gone with a mature R&B vibe, getting cozy with his sexy co-star, the two are shown canoodling on a motorcycle, with Bieber later watching Russo dance, goes in for the kiss and then pushing her up against a wall. Bieber also stripping off his clothes, and getting up close and personal with a sultry seductress, even thrusting into the air at one point. Be still, Belieber hearts everywhere.

Madison Beer, a YouTube sensation, who was discovered by Justin Bieber, makes her musical debut with cutest music video of all time for her ridiculously catchy first single, "Melodies." If you haven't heard of Madison Beer yet, prepare yourself now because we have a very good feeling that we're going to be seeing a lot of her soon. Not only the up-tempo pop track she describes as fun and young, but the video for the track featuring her pop star mentor, pink balloons, dreamy boys, and all of our favorite things crammed into 4 minutes of super sweet fun.
Young up-and-comer Long Island native is got such a Millennial Cinderella story: Bieber discovered the fresh-faced now 14-year-old on Twitter just over a year ago when he came across Beer singing a cover of Etta James' "At Last." He tweeted the video out numerous times, and directed a few tweets to Carly Rae Jepsen, his last protege, and Bruno Mars, showing them how talented Beer was. So he instantly decided he wanted to make her a star. That time is here, and he's even appearing in her first ever video!
"I remember watching Justin's first video and now Justin is in my first video and it's just weird that I'm even saying that," Beer tells MTV News. The video begins of Bieber and his longtime pal Ryan Butler sitting on a couch listening to "Melodies." "You hear that Ryan? That's a smash. She's gonna be a star, trust me," Bieber says to Ryan who answers with, "I think I love her, bro." After a laugh, Bieber says, "hey, watch this." He signs a pair of purple headphones, sticks them in the box and adds a note that reads, "put these on, love Justin."
The megastar then signs a note and puts a set of headphones in a red box with a purple bow. Cut to the smiling and adorable Beer's opening the gift. And with her lucky gift from the Bieber, she is ready to start singing her song. Upon wearing those autographed bright purple headphones and red high-top Converses, she takes it to the streets, starts dancing through the neighborhood with friends, singing her song out loud, which attracts a crowd of followers and gets lost in her own little musical world, totally unaware that a sizable crowd of kids have begun to follow her Pied Piper-style, ending with an explosion of confetti and a potential love interest.

Will.i.am got a little help from Justin Bieber's hologram in the just-released sci-fi spectacular and spacey video for their collaborative new dance cut, "#thatPOWER," the third single from Will's upcoming fourth much-delayed solo album, "#willpower," which is slated to drop on Tuesday. The new video, predictably is gaining a lot of traction in the hours after its arrival online, features a hologram of the 19-year-old teen heartthrob looking swaggy while singing the song's hook.
The uptempo, club-geared track is dance-club oriented. Along with the headliner's compulsively body-moving electro-pop boardwork and guilty-pleasure lyricism, #thatPOWER boasts a soaring hook and sweet vocals to the chorus from teenage pop superstar. The track tries to follow the style in the footsteps of many Will.i.am singles before with its thumping club beat, dirty synths, A-list cameo and lots of lyrical swagger about overcoming adversity. "It's not dance, it's like synchronized movement," Will said. A song repetitive and tiresome, with a sound mix of autotune and electronic music, very blunt. A first listen leaves you a little cold, but after several repetitions, is winning.
You'll be as surprised as we are to see some serious choreography going on in this one and not from whom you'd expect! Ghostly, Bieber merely makes his appearance as a hologram , so it's Will himself werking his moves all over cities across the globe, with the help of some clones! As he explains: "This video is probably the most time-consuming video that I've ever been a part of because I had to rehearse choreography, and I've always been against choreography for me. We have this real, next-level, futuristic type of choreography… It's not dance, it's like synchronized movement. I'm really excited about it."
The promo doesn't have much of a story line but is all about setups that are meant to please the eye thanks to appearances from Will. it takes a futuristic twist that Bieber's cameo relies heavily on his hologram and a ghost-like image projected on to various TV screens, while the Black Eyed Peas frontman, wearing a black hat and sunglasses, getting funky in various sci-fi locales with a futuristic sports car and a posse of lookalikes who match his every robotic move with a myriad of dancers, skip across the earth with an army of clones around with six look-alikes in Japan.

Justin Bieber premiered his new found-footage music video with Nicki Minaj for “Beauty And A Beat” on Friday, after an elaborate and hysterical prank that began when the 18-year-old pop star claimed that his laptop and camera, with "personal footage" on them, had been stolen during a stop on his 'Believe' tour. But perhaps the biggest revelation of this whole endeavor is that Bieber is becoming a true artist - he wrote and directed the whole thing!
Bieber hooks up with Swedish hitmaker Max Martin on this dubstep flavored club banger, "Beauty and a Beat," another wrinkle in pop music's appropriation of EDM-inflected breakdowns and basslines, is the third single off of Bieber's latest third studio album, "Believe." The frantic dance track is an uptempo dance and electropop song that also contains elements of R&B.
Lyrically, it speaks about the teen heartthrob wanting to take his love interest to a club, where they can "party like it's 3012". This snip of the song is believed to be analogous to the song "2012 (It Ain't The End)," which also features rapper Minaj, who delivers yet another killer verse. "Beauty And A Beat," is definitely one for the dancefloor, with its rapid drum beats, electro break down and rushing synthesizers after every chorus. Despite all of Bieber's well meant crooning, the highlight has to be Minaj's fast-paced and funny rap in which she refers to Bieber's girlfriend.
In fact, the clip features DIY-style scenes of a personal footage style compilation, showing Bieber behind the scenes and a massive waterpark party, where Minaj occasionally joins him for a 'runaway' performance. In a cheeky move, the video begins with text that recounts an "October 2012" theft - a reference to real-life laptop-swiping that has led to rumors announcing the existence of nude photos of the young popstar. Much of the video sees Bieber holding a camera aimed at himself, so they really ran with the theme here. The video is all about having fun and embracing youth, and goes well with the vibe of the song.

Justin Bieber leaves behind his "Baby" days and shows some growing up in the brand-new video for his R&B and dubstep summer single "As Long As You Love Me," as a promotional single and the second single from his third studio album, "Believe," and is about the trials and tribulations young lovers would go through to be together. The five-plus-minute short film is gritty and quite dramatic.
"As Long as You Love Me," featuring rapper Big Sean, is Bieber's first foray into dubstep. Canadian pop star persuaded producer Rodney Jerkins to add the dubstep-heavy sonics after a trip to London, where the bass-driven type of electronic music is all over the radio. Bieber testifies how true love can overcome all circumstances on this "Believe" electro jam and it's a far cry from Bieber's "Baby" days, both literally and figuratively.
The 18-year-old singer teamed up again with director Anthony Mandler, who tones down the excess in favor of a genuine grittiness. Unlike the subtle maturity in Bieber's first "Boyfriend" clip which look like child's play. If that clip was a fantasy ride, well, then this gritty new mini-film for "As Long As You Love Me," is a reality trip. Adulthood isn't all fun and games, after all. This generation's superstar is trying making it known that he can be more than just a teen idol, and he makes that point with his latest video.
Part tragic love story, part pulpy thriller, the new video finds Bieber flexing his acting muscles opposite Kill Bill actor Michael Madsen, who plays an overprotective father who violently objects to Bieber dating his daughter. Of course, given that this is a tragedy, Bieber doesn't listen, and the couple then sets out to meet at a train station, but daddy dearest becomes privy to their late-night getaway and throws down until bruised and bloodied and drags his daughter away from Bieber, leaving a sad ending.

Teen sensation Justin Bieber took the stage midway through the Tuesday's episode of NBC's "The Voice" to unveil the video for his new single "Boyfriend," the first single from his upcoming third studio album, "Believe," that should hit shelves on June 19th. The Canadian singer weighs in on how literal the video will get and when fans might get to hear more from "Believe."
When Bieber turned 18 on March 1, he devoted part his special day to appearing on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and announced this song as the lead single from his new album. "The song is basically, I'm talking to this girl and I'm like, 'If I was your boyfriend I'd never let you go,'" Bieber told Degeneres regarding the track's meaning. Musically, "Boyfriend" is a R&B and hip-hop includes elements of acoustic music, while still having club beats, and the lyrics features Bieber singing about being "everything you want." The instrumentation is kept in a lower sound to highlight Bieber's vocals.
Bieber wrote the song with American songwriter Mike Posner, who said: "I wrote and produced that with him. And wait 'til you hear the beat; you're going to flip. You're going to want to play this song. Yes, it's super hip-hop." Bieber explained to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show why he decided to lead his "Believe" album with this track: "It was a really hard choice. I mean, we had so many songs, so many uptempos we could release, [that] I thought, 'Let's slow it down,' " he said, adding that "I thought this was the perfect single," as this song "was me all the way; it is a representation of me."
Bieber revealed that the video doesn't have a "steady concept," adding that it mostly features artistic shots intercalated with dance scenes, "It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of amazing scenes: Like a fire scene, we have an ice scene." The Colin Tilley-directed clip sees the boyfriend of Selena Gomez channeling his inner ladies man by whispering the slick tune seductively in a girl's ear as shots of an icy realm flash. With a guitar in hand, the singer strikes a Michael Jackson-esque pose before a gleaming white sphere.

Justin Bieber dropped the video for "Fa La La" with Boyz II Men, who were one of the most successful acts of the 1990s. There are no reindeer or presents under the tree; instead, the 17-year-old Bieber and the Philadelphia R&B outfit he credits as one of his music idols team up sing of a warm love that will endure through the holiday season. The clip actually manages to heighten the already-transcendent experience of listening to Bieber and the Boyz' honey-dipped R&B harmonizing.
"Fa La La" is the latest single from Bieber's new holiday LP, "Under the Mistletoe," but director and company didn't overload the video with Christmas themes as to so implicitly tie it to December 25, and after all, true love should last all year 'round. The song is definitely a holiday love song, but the video doesn't have the singers belting out the lyrics surrounded by mistletoe, Christmas trees and snow – unlike his heavy holiday themed first video off the album, "Mistletoe."
The black-and-white clip showcases Bieber's heartfelt singing with his idols. It begins with Bieber singing alone in an empty loft, with his arms flailing and face slightly scrunching every time he hits those heartfelt notes. Bieber's solo intro leads way to a collaborative bridge, where Boyz II Men join in that looks straight out of a '90s Boyz II Men video, Bieber and the group belt out the lyrics from the stoop on the front porch of a brick house. At the end of the video, which was directed by Colin Tilley, the crooners seem to have a friendly sing-off, each doing their best vocal run.
No elaborate set needed. With an empty city as their backdrop, the four crooners throw down in an old-fashioned sing-off. As the track builds, Boyz II Men's Wanya Morris really gets into it, pounding his chest and kicking one leg up to accentuate his performance. Bieber, who is dressed in a white tee and slim-cut leather jacket, tugs on his collar to let you just how much his words mean to him. Maybe some of Boyz II Men's subject matter was a bit mature for the pint-size Bieber, but they influenced him nonetheless.

Ready for the holidays? Justin Bieber kicked off the Christmas season two months early when he sat down with MTV News Tuesday night during "MTV First: Justin Bieber" to talk about his new holiday-themed album, "Under the Mistletoe," hits CD shelves on November 1st, and premiere his video for the album's lead single, "Mistletoe." Bieber spreads early Christmas spirit in this new video, and is announced to ring in 2012 New Year's Eve with Lady GaGa.
"Mistletoe" is a slow ballad that has a sound reminiscent of Bruno Mars or Jack Johnson. Unlike many traditional Christmas songs, the music has a reggae vibe and rhythm to it, which definitely gives it a unique sound. If this is the musical direction that Bieber is taking on this new album, then he might grow his fan base even more. The 17-year-old admitted he's never shared a special moment under the holiday plant.
Here is the story about the kissing-under-the-mistletoe tradition: "At Christmas time a young lady standing under a ball of mistletoe, brightly trimmed with evergreens, ribbons, and ornaments, cannot refuse to be kissed. Such a kiss could mean deep romance or lasting friendship and goodwill. If the girl remained unkissed, she cannot expect not to marry the following year. In some parts of England the Christmas mistletoe is burned on the twelfth night lest all the boys and girls who have kissed under it never marry."
The Roman White-directed video was shot in Franklin, Tennessee last month. It features Bieber decked out in holiday finery and frolicking in the snow as he sings about spending time under the mistletoe with his leading lady, Allie Williams. The Canadian singing sensation is seen spending the holiday with the girl of his dreams, buying her gift and taking her to a romantic date every girl could have ever hoped for. Bieber sings his little heart out on a snow-covered street while taking steps to show the lady in his life that she's the only one for him. They cruise away and the video fades out with them dancing and kissing under the mistletoe.

Chris Brown has dropped the video with teen heartthrob Justin Bieber for their duet mid-tempo love cut "Next To You." The video starts out showing both artists interpret emotional determination with precision and struggle with their relationships in the video as the world falls apart behind them. It's the end of the world, and Brown and Bieber are dancing. Also, when not making mock Michael Jackson "Free Willy" era moves, saving their girlfriends from the flaming New York City streets.
The dreamy ballad pop love song, taken from Brown's fourth studio album, "F.A.M.E.," is a puppy-love declaration and it melted the pair's "angelic" voices, and trade verses assuring their ladies of their dedication. It finds the duo singing about their love for a lucky girl. Musically, "Next To You" is a R&B and pop number, with lyrics pertaining to the love between two in a relationship. Most music critics positively reviewed the song, complimenting the blending of Brown and Bieber's vocals. However a common criticism of the track was how it stood out in comparison into the more lyrically explicit music on "F.A.M.E.."
Brown returned the favor to Bieber when he added a part to the remix of "Up" on the Bieber's, "Never Say Never," the Remixes album. "Being able to collab with [Bieber] was great," Brown told MTV News. "He's a young, energetic cat, so being able to work with him, with the fanbase he has, was incredible. I know a lot of little girls are going to love this record. I wouldn't say [he's] my protégé. He's doing his thing at a young age, and I was doing mine at a young age, so being able to see him come up is dope."
This version is cleaned up and scaled back, but the epic love story, directed by Colin Tilley, the apocalyptic-themed clip features Brown and Bieber as the only two surviving residents of a chaotic town, and their history are reflected with each of them reminiscing on their girlfriends. The two pop stars face obstacles of apocalyptic proportions to keep their vow to always stand next to their ladies. Streets are crumbling below their feet, the sky is falling, but the two pop stars are determined to keep the promise they made in the song: "One day when the sky is falling, I’ll be standing right next to you."

Justin Bieber is jamming with the popular country act Rascal Flatts in a newly-debuted flashy video for their joint remix track "That Should Be Me," which is available on Bieber's new "Never Say Never – The Remixes" soundtrack CD, which was released last month. The 17-year-old singer filmed the video with the country music band last month after he cut his signature hair flip to give him a more grown-up style than his signature floppy locks. The love ballad song is super catchy and the the band members' voices blend perfectly with Bieber's. In fact, the video hit No.1 on iTunes and Bieber tweeted his pride.
The original version of "That Should Be Me" appears in Bieber's "My World 2.0" CD, and the revamped version is recorded for his "Never Say Never" soundtrack album. Of crossing genre from pop to country, he told ABC, "Music is music, and it's a universal language. It doesn't really matter what style, as long as it appeals to others and people like it, that's all that really matters." In "That Should Be Me," a "sobbing ballad," the teen heartthrob "plays the scorned ex," with lyrics like, "Did you forget all the plans that you made with me?"
If you like music videos about making music videos, this one's for you. Tween pop and country music might not seem like a natural pairing, but their collaboration has resulted in one of Bieber's better songs. This song is about a girl, but it's easy to imagine Bieber and Flatts' Gary LeVox are actually talking about which one of them should be singing lead. "That Should Be Me" is tune of lovelorn regret brings some unintentional laughs when the camera pans between a doe-eyed 17-year-old Bieber and a middle-aged country singer wailing, "That should be me." Whoever their mystery girl is, it's probably illegal for her to be dating at least one of them.
The video is a meta-statement on making videos. While the video isn't one of real creative value, we do get to see Bieber interact with the country band. While the Bieber strums the strings on his guitar in a room playing the track, the trio of country bumpkins joined the pop star for a remix of Bieber's hit song. The clip also features plenty of sad-faced over-emoting - crying! Falling on knees! Popping of collars! Throwing down of jackets! - and The video ends with Bieber walking off the set. The way the scenes tie together as if the joint effort were unplanned makes the "That Should Be Me" video feel as raw as the emotional song and lends you to believe the Bieber/Flatts collective force was anticipated all along.

After a very successful four awards win at the 'American Music Awards' last Sunday, including the Artist of the Year Award, Justin Bieber is back. He's not the first pop star to feel guilty about the vast injustices of this world. But teen star obviously hopes to make a difference with a message of hope using a brand new video for his inspirational new single, "Pray." The earnest 16-year-old sings a message of hope as images of the homeless, sick and dispossessed flash by. The star originally posted it on YouTube, only for it to be removed due to copyright reasons, and he moved to Facebook to share it with his fans.
"Pray," is the first single and only original song from Canadian pop-R&B singer's acoustic album, "My Worlds Acoustic." which just hit Wal-Mart store shelves on Black Friday, the year's busiest shopping day by far. The song is another stab at seriousness. Like Kid Rock's new ode to political inaction, "Care," Bieber's ballad recognizes the pain and suffering in the world before offering a passive solution. He closes his eyes, visualizes 'a better day,' prays for it. It's the latest attempt to crack the wall of separation between church and pop. Unlike the other strictly acoustic tracks on the album, this song features a string quartet, synthesizers, congas, and a cajon drum. The percussion represents inspiration from Bieber's worldly travels, specifically to Africa.
Bieber told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on November 17: "It's a very uplifting song, very motivational. It definitely comes from the heart. It's very beautiful. I definitely thought of Michael [Jackson's] 'Man In The Mirror,' when I was writing it." The Canadian sensation sings about hoping for a better world in this upbeat and uplifting tune. According to Bieber, the song is a gift to his fans. The teen pop star started playing the acoustic guitar when he was a kid, and he went back to his original roots for "My Worlds Acoustic," which showcases Bieber's vocal talents and mainly comprises unplugged versions of favorite songs of his fans. The arrangements reflect Bieber's early days with merely an acoustic guitar or a lone piano and the Canadian singer plays guitar on the album alongside his musical director and fellow guitarist Dan Kanter.
The music video is a touching one, flashing a montage of devastating footage with Bieber sending his prayers through the inspirational lyrics of the song. It's basically a compilation of touching footage. Showing miseries of the world, from slum areas, homeless people, devasted neighborhoods to other moving footage, as the youngster is seen performing acts of charity work, sits in as he descends from the ceiling of a super big stadium, strumming on his guitar, singing and asking to 'pray.' Prayer will make everything better. The messiah is here, and he's teaming up with Wal-Mart to pray the world into slickly-produced harmony.

Justin Bieber fans have plenty to grin about and will all be smiling now that the teen superstar's latest video "U Smile" is finally here! The clip premiered last night on E! News. and features the Canadian sensation indulging in something he probably doesn't get a lot of these days: privacy. The Motown-style ballad song was released as the second digital-only single from the latter half of his debut album, "My World 2.0." Bieber is attempting to keep his fans happy, and he's probably hoping that this method will help to make his new video very popular, especially considering he's already dating singer Jasmine Villegas, who's opening for him on his My World tour.
Bieber helped co-write the song along with Jerry Duplessis, Arden Altino and Dan August Rigo, and he had particularly high praise for the latter, "U Smile" is a piano and instrument driven blue-eyed soul ballad, garnered acclaim from critics as a standout track from the album. Bieber shared with his fans the inspiration behind the song on Twitter. "'U Smile' is one of the best songs I have ever recorded," he wrote. "It really is a throwback to the great records I listened to growing up. I wrote it for all my fans who got me here. U took me from a small town in Canada to this amazing opportunity I am living now. I am so grateful for everything and so blessed for all of your support. I wrote 'U Smile' with my friend August with that in mind. So this one is for U. Enjoy it and know that u the fans give me my strength in a lot of this."
The Colin Tilley-directed clip for the slow-tempo track shows off his dramatic side, and finds the pop star playing the piano in an empty theater, busting some understated dance moves in an alleyway and wooing one lucky girl. The "Somebody to Love" singer dressed in all black, attempting to persuade a girl, one of cheery tween fans into being his girl. He obliges and invites her out for a rendezvous later that evening. The scene is an area near a run down movie theater. Bieber had stated that the video for "U Smile" was about "letting fans experience the ultimate fantasy for any hard-core Belieber: being Justin's girlfriend", further explaining in a tweet, "I took the opportunity 2 make a video 4 the fans, about a fan, and how we could fall IN LOVE."
An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find inside Justin 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. A virtually untapped well of natural artistic talent, Bieber is primed to be a solid force in music for many years to come. "I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it's not corny," he says. "I think I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me." And just think, he's just getting started.

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.

Just in time for summer, here comes Justin Bieber with a heroic little video ditty of the theme song "Never Say Never" for the upcoming remake film of "The Karate Kid," starring Jackie Chan and Will Smith's son, 11-year old Jaden Smith. The 16-year-old Bieber posted a link to the video for "Never Say Never" on his Twitter page on Monday morning and quickly rocketing it into the social networking site's trending topics.
The young Canadian singer is a one hot little commodity, and with a new album and tour coming up, he was planning the release of music videos for three of his upcoming singles over the next few weeks. Bieber began hinting to his Twitter followers about the release of his first new video. And while many fans expected the "Somebody To Love" video to hit MTV first, But he recently revealed this would not be the first one to debut, but the "Never Say Never" video came out first.
According to HollywoodNews, this song deviates from Bieber's normal song lyrics that talk about girls and love, also tells about motivation, as the Two Young Stars tune in with the beat. This song has somewhat of an inspirational feel to it with lines. The tune is very nice and this is looking to be yet again another hit for the young sensation.
Both young stars sing and dance in the fun new video, which has them sitting side by side behind the mixing table and watching the new movie through two big screens. The video has also Bieber and Smith featuring at the studio session. It is a refreshing change for the people to know that the younger generation is also keen in themes like motivation. This song's lyric are motivational. And these insertions really lift the spirits of the music lovers and the viewers alike. Fans consider Bieber to be purely homemade as compare to this generation's young artists who have been brought up to industry by different sources like Disney Channel and American Idol.
The martial arts film "The Karate Kid" itself is a loose remake of the original 1984 hit movie of the same name. It follows the story of a boy who forced to leave all of his friends in Detroit as his mother gets a job in Beijing.

Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston get caught in a love triangle, but not for long in their "Eeenie Meenie" video, which premiered last Thursday on Vevo. The rooftop pool-party video telling the story of the Canadian teen pop star and the Jamacian-American hip hop singer are flirting with the same girl at a Hollywood Hills party. Does one lucky girl get to catch a Bieber by the toe? The suspense is killing us!
"Eenie Meenie" is the first of two songs that Bieber and Kingston have collaborated on to appear on their respective albums. The song is the first single from Kingston's third Untitled studio album. It's also included on Bieber's "My World 2.0" album. The song was released on mainstream radio on March 16. The "Eenie Meenie" music video was filmed on March 30 in Beverly Hills, and directed by Ray Kay who also directed Bieber's "Baby" music video. Kingston told the press that working with Bieber was awesome. He stated, "Shooting this video with Justin was awesome. When I met him two years ago, we just clicked, so it was only a matter of time before we got together in the studio."
In the much hyped video, the two musical artists arrive separately to a swanky pool party filled with teens who are popping, locking and holding plastic cups that we can only assume are filled with non-alcoholic drinks. Unbeknownst to them, though, they're getting attention from the same girl, a cute brunette who can't seem to make up her mind between the two. She sits on Kingston's lap and caresses his face, then plants a kiss on Bieber and lets him twirl her around. The back and forth continues until Kingston and Bieber finally catch the bad chick by her toe and send her packing, enforcing a long-held rule: bros before "eenie meenie minie mo lover." The dudes are cool with it. Well, they're not cool with her playing them, but they seem to remain friends despite both going for the same girl.
"Eenie Meenie" melds Kingston's island-inflected dance-pop with Bieber's sweet tween R&B. It utilizes the children's rhyme "Eenie Meenie Miny Moe" throughout, especially in the chorus and in the half-sung, half-rapped breakdown. It's one of the first releases of the spring to point toward a more summery sound. Kingston has that singer, rapper, reggae fusion type of style that works perfect with Bieber and his singing. Kingston told MTV that how his collaboration with Bieber came about: "I met Justin about two years ago, before he was the teenage phenom that he is now. I don't really have that same chemistry with some celebrities. God just made it happen." Whoever produced this made a great decision to include Bieber and get all of his fans vibing to the song.

Days after performing at 2010 Kids' Choice Awards with Ludacris-featuring hit single "Baby", the 16-year-old Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber gives his fans another treat by releasing new music video on VEVO for single "Never Let You Go," taken from his recently-released sophomore album, "My World 2.0 LP," which was released in the U.S. on March 23.
"Never Let You Go" was originally released as the first digital-only single from latter half of Bieber's debut album, "My World 2.0" on March 2, and is anticipated to be the second single from the album. Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone said that "the ballads, often a weak spot on pop/R&B records, are fully realized, mixing love-struck lyrics with big, lovable choruses." Lauren Carter of The Boston Herald stated that, "While it's hard to buy into so much angst coming from a 16-year-old, the promises of forever (see "Never Let You Go," for starters) will undoubtedly delight the young girls who dream of spending eternity with pop's newest heartthrob."
The up-and-coming actress Paige Hurd portrays Bieber's love interest in Colin Tilley-directed video, was filmed at The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, is a really nice take on the innocence of young love, full of flirting, dancing and air-touching. The pop's newest sensation Bieber is seen walking through some sort of dark underground cavern/temple space, and hanging out and frolicking with Hurd in the catacombs of Bahamian aquariums, and they eventually make their way out of the aquarium and out into the world where they share glances. Bieber is definitely growing up a lot in this video, sharing near-kisses, touching and nuzzling with his girl. Shots of the pair in silhouette holding hands play into the video's plot of two young teens falling in love in a very exotic locale, and Bieber continues his knack for Michael Jackson-esque dance moves in an age-appropriate fashion. A big sting ray swims by.
The tune is a slow pop love song, sadly and the video has a suitably muted tone. In addition to "Never Let You Go" video, Bieber has also filmed another video with Sean Kingston for their duet track "Eenie Meenie". "Wrapped the EENIE MEENIE video," the teen singer wrote on Twitter. "This video is gonna be amazing."
