Justin Bieber Brings ‘Boyfriend’ To Ellen

Published: Wednesday 23rd May 2012 by Sam

Justin Bieber fever swept through The Ellen Degeneres Show today.

Taking front, stage, centre, the 18 year old served up a performance of current smash ‘Boyfriend’.

How did he fair live with the cut (the first to be lifted from his ‘Believe’ LP)? The answer awaits after the jump…

Oh dear.

Justin’s faux “swaggie” is becoming quite the cringe-fest. The gyrating, the crotch grabs, the stiff choreo; not to mention the contrived essence of “hood”. Just, no.

Still, Bieber’s transformation into an “adult” act remains a compelling watch. Here’s hoping his team actually push him to do better, rather than simply capitalise on the mammoth machine they’ve cultivated for his cause. Because if fused together, he could actually become a legitimate performing force. We suggest he Youtube a few performances of the guys below before going on tour to see how to do “Pop” the cool, not contrived way:

Your thoughts?

    I give him credit for living his dreams but … IDK something is just off about this whole Boyfriend-era. Hopefully they can work the little performance kinks out but other than that it is what it is.

    I love JB and yes I do think for how big of an artist he is he does need to get better but I do think he knows what he doing and I’m almost 100% sure that there will be way more amazing things to come from his album BELIEVE ( In Stores June19) lol So I’m good but lets be real BOYRIEND is a really good song & I think he’s doing really well theses days So as always Belieber & LittleMonster for Life!

    Bieber is coming along.
    I don’t know why everyone is giving him a lot of criticism this era.
    He even sung all of it live this time…..a thing MANY people cannot do.
    Bring on Believe!

    The old pop kids (Britney, Nsync, Christina, BSB) totally exceed these new pop kids (Katy, Justin, Jonas) in every way possible.

    Yes Ellen he did write boyfriend and its all about you! 🙂

    Again, I find it interesting that when Ms. Babble sings over a backtrack as he’s doing now and did on the BillBoard Music Awards last Sunday, no one complains 0_O? However, when Chris Brown does the same thing while actually DANCING HIS A** OFF he’s accused of not singing live and being a lazy dancer! EVERY DAY STEP IN THIS VIDEO IS SOMETHING I’VE SEEN CHRIS BROWN DO IN RECENT YEARS! Now if Chris Brown is lazy with his dance steps then WTF is Babble with his “borrowed” steps?….wait Amerika’s lil darlin’ ummmm nevermind! 🙁

      Chris brown , since his 2009’s incident , ppl are waiting for a flaw coming from him to tear him apart , and he is just going cocky with every criticism he receive , that’s why ppl love to criticize him …..
      plus Justine will always find the ” he’s just a kid , are you going to hate on a kid” card ready by her fans for her whenever she fail. she has lots of ass kissers and p**** lickers !!

      and no , it is nothing related to color ……

      Cb need to step his game up ” LIVE vocals to be specific” and Justine need to retire cuz she’s trying too hard to impress …..

      @mobwife..imma say this..since the ’09 incident, chris brown was hated everywhere. people didnt even support Grafitti, which is his best album to date btw, but the media decided to give him a second chance. then he goes and does that s*** on GMA. like wtf, its clear the kid has anger and cockiness issues so now the media is gonna step on his toes w/everything he does. so of course they s*** talk his lip syncing. and its no better for Justin to do it either but he didnt beat his GF then throw a chair out the window when questioned. well not yet, idk he WANTS to be Chris Brown so bad….

    this performance is my favorite performance by nsync that is all

    He did pretty good to me. Some artists are just easy targets. It wasn’t that bad at all. Some of these blogs are too typical.

    Justin Bieber is cute but this is not a sign of growing up, well at least not in his lane. this is a sign of him trying to grow up with someone NOT in his crowd. he’s trying to be Chris Brown & a r&b/ hip-hop artist when he clearly came out pop. i mean look at Miley Cyrus, she grew step by step, from 7 things to Party in the U.S.A. then Cant Be Tamed or even Demi Lova..she grew up with her fans just as well..this is gonna be hard for Justin’s fans because the last they heard of him, he was singing Somebody to Love. Two years later, hes “rapping”, talking about swagg abnd grabing his d*** while performing. its like uhhh, okay??? but i think the album will dbe decent because im sure he gained,kept & lost fans with this dramatic change.

    what? he brought his boyfriend to Ellen? I didn’t know Usher was on Ellen.
