The Voice finale was lit up with Bieber Fever last night when Pop pin-up Justin Bieber performed new single ‘Boyfriend’.
Already a chart and online smash, the high-profile slot will no doubt give the song and its housing album an added boost.
Justin professes he is dabbling with a “maturer” sound, does his stage show match? Find out after the jump…
While the 18 year old gets an ‘A’ for effort, we’re not sure we’d spin our chairs round if he was a contestant.
His live vocals remain “just there” and his stage presence is far too manufactured. A solid enough Pop-Urban cut, ‘Boyfriend’ feels like something Bieber should be singing with a bit more age and authentic experience under his belt.
Granted he has more height on him, he still looks pre-pubescent (no shade). Hence, it’s somewhat cringe watching him sing about “swaggie” while trying to play the sex card (see: 1.50 – 2.18). No bueno.
Your thoughts?

He looks like a fake MJ.
actually enjoyed that more than the video. nice job
first of all, the styling was on point! His sneakers and his jacket/blouse are items I would buy!
second.. His voice isn’t that good and he could’ve danced a bit more but… I applaud him for not going down the easy road that is ‘lip-synching’. That makes me respect entertainers like JB, Katy Perry & Rihanna. No matter how bad they often sound, they try to stay real.
wow justin superb perfomance love it
u rock justin n ove the boyfriend song
Fair performance but I’m just not here for him. Can’t believe he hasn’t faded away yet. He’s no MJ or anything so let’s not go that route. He’s slightly better than the jonas brothers and aaron carter but that’s it.
Well justin is still socking and bopping and hes already’the 50 million dollar man so i’d say hes well on his way and keeping his pockets and ushers fat.
0_O?
Well in important performance news from last evening, over on ABC #SLAYOPHER burned down the stage on DWTS!…. LOL 🙂
No really this was okay. He’s not a very good dancer so the routine looks extremely manufactured/stiff. Also, I would swear I’ve seen this performance done before -but better- by someone else (Ush, JT)! The song is awful but his young fans love it so hey –> “rock on kid”!
Well I don’t know what the problem was TGJ. I thought he did really well. I was entertained.
On your knees boy, with my fat d*** stretching your pretty lips.
Oh, and buy me some beer with those 50 million so I could fill your brains with my p***.

يالله يا ماما … قوم عن الكمبيوتر وا عيني و قعيد لقرايتك عينـــــــي هنت…
Well it was ok but it dosnt matter because I’m still buying 2copies of he’s album #BELIEVE anyway! p.s that way R&B music does not sell because if that was your fav RAB artist you would say your over them but Pop fans love there artist and take there good and bad days and that’s why POP will always sell more Britney over Beyonce, Bieber over Chris Brown, Madonna over Janet & MJ over everyone.lol I don’t think it’s right but if you guys don’t like it buy there s***.lol
@Belladonna >>> _/ -_-
I didn’t watch the video, i don’t permit myself to listen or watch him, i can’t even name one of his songs, call me ignorant but i don’t listen teens Music but i came here to read all the comments and i find this hilarious:

Hahahaha that was funny.
@tmm90
are you for real?!
you applaud him just because he never lip synced? he still sounded like s***.
people like you are the reason talentless h*** like katy perry rihanna and this fool are successful.
he sounds like s*** and thats it. he doesnt deserve any success he has very little talent.
If he wants to be taken seriously, he needs to upgrade his performances. This was all kinds of Disney-ish to me.
It doesn’t really matter if this is bubblegum pop or lolita pop.When N’Sync started out with ‘Tearin’Up My Heart’ , they were CONVICING. We actually believed in everyword they said in those songs.
Those new cats do not believe in whatever they’re singing, therefore we don’t believe them either. They need to stop relying on backtracks and fireworks.
My best moment was when I peeped nostalgia in Xtina Aguilera’s eyes. Awwww..
jeeez this is so try hard and awful.
Need to get myself a YouTube account and score a record deal.
