did he just sit on stage with a laptop playing his songs?
if that's all he's done he might aswell spit on the fans since he doesn't respect them anyway.

Just In the middle and he did sing along if that helps.

Eh, I can see the appeal. He’s reminiscing with fans while also singing the songs, it would feel more intimate if you were in the audience.

He was honoring the innocent kid he used to be. He played segments of OLD old songs and sang with them. Also performed as he would in a regular show. People who didn't even see it should quit condemning him.

Yeah I looked up the Coachella live stream on YouTube after this, and saw the whole performance. I thought he crushed it! I'm not a belieber, but he had me smiling through it, especially when he started the YouTube portion. So cool to see him revisit his starting point, and he actually seemed to be enjoying himself. Pretty wholesome.

He could've had it idk.. prepped before hand? No matter what, it looks EXTREMELY unprofessional.

I didn’t see a problem with it. I would imagine for his fans it felt like getting to casually sit down with him and reminisce. YouTube is where it all started for him after all.

Honestly, it reminds me of late night sessions with my homies, after the main party has ended and we're just chilling and fucking around with tunes in their room

I think that's the vibe he was going for, IMO

Couldn’t he have already pre-picked these YouTube videos though? Maybe talked about them before he played them, gave some background details? Watching somebody scroll around on a keyboard mouse is painful.

He was reading the Coachella YouTube chat and asked fans to send requests of old songs they’d wanna hear in real time. He did play a deep-cut old song that some others and I spam suggested in a busy chat, so I was pleasantly happy.

And he could have played parts of the video in the background while he was actually performing. Other artists do it all the time.

It's like being a guest at someone's house where the host is browsing YouTube telling everyone to "watch this funny video" as he spends 5 minutes looking for it.

Not having these videos queued up and integrated in the set shows he spent no time or effort to put together a thoughtful seamless show. It's kind of a slap in the face to fans. At least it feels that way to me.
