With a bit of help from girlfriend Selena Gomez, little Justin Bieber is all grown up. And at 17, the Canadian native is professing that he knows ‘How To Love’ – as evidenced in his new cover of Lil Wayne‘s summer smash.
How did the Pop pin-up do? You be the judge after the jump…
As one of the few who was unmoved by the original, it was somewhat inevitable that any such remix wouldn’t stir me. Especially a Justin Bieber re-fix.
Saying that, it’s a refreshingly mature sound from the teen idol. Something he’ll no doubt have embrace once the boyish looks and appeal begin to wear off.

I’m DEFINETELY not his audience, but his voice sounds so sloppy, out of place and weird and it’s like he’s just churning out the words and stumbling on them and not singing or at least grooving.But, as I said, I am far from his target audience, so his career moves are not my business as long as he keeps it cute…

Maybe he should stay away from the rapping. It sounds cheesy. The singing sounds better than wayne’s tho. If anything people should be liking this cover more. I wanted more bass in the song I think it would have been better. I don’t like justin bieber AT ALL but his music is endearing sometimes so I had to listen to this cuz I’ve been enjoying a lot of the covers lately. This one was nice and the harmonies were on point. I think his little girl fans will love it.
My only advice is that he needs singing lessons cuz his voice is not polished yet like it could.

NOPE! If you want a stripped down pop version, check out Demi’s. That one is raw vocals and no autotune, unlike the garbage that Justin put out.

any1 rembember the scene from Dreamgirls when the white american pop band covers the cadallac song? they zapped the soul right outta the song, this Justin Beiber song is just like that, he zapped all the soul right outta the Lil Wayne version!!! This is exactly what I hate white america for, when they capitalize off of black soul!
