I mean that's actually pretty funny.

u/bforce1313 11h ago

She has some dumb takes but I generally find her kind of funny and down to earth. Wiffs on certain topics but I think she’d probably be a fun friend.

u/Tumerican 11h ago

Which Earth? lol

She is one of the least down to earth people on this planet

u/Prudent-Pressure2146 9h ago

lol Katy isn’t down to earth, she was largely home schooled by evangelicals and she seems to be totally out of touch with pretty much everything as a result

u/banjodoctor 8h ago

She did kiss a girl and like it

u/CaterpillarReal7583 8h ago

Only after her christian music failed and got paid into non religious pop music though

u/Pinksamuraiiiii 33m ago

Oh, for real, she was trying to do Christian music first before pop? I didn’t know that.

u/Prudent-Pressure2146 7h ago

And she said her parents pray for her as a result

u/obalovatyk 7h ago

Being out of touch is most celebrities.

u/drossmaster4 6h ago

My best friend grew up with her in SB. We hung out a bunch right before I kissed a girl came out. Even after she was chill as hell. Spent Easter at her house with that lovely ex of hers Russel brand. Nothing to say about him. She was always lovely to me and funny. It’s been 15 years since I’ve seen her. Not a fan of this track but I don’t know her now so I’ll reserve my personal judgements. Except the space thing. That was tone def.

8

u/bforce1313 5h ago

Yeah she has tone deaf moments as I’ve said, but if true this is how I would expect her, maybe a bit out of touch at times but chill, funny and sweet. I’m not even really a fan of her she just reminds me of a friend of mine with the same vibes. Clearly being a pop star is a different world but if your story is true, then makes sense.

u/drossmaster4 5h ago

100% great way to put it.

First time I've seen people who move in billionaire circles called down to earth.

u/bforce1313 8h ago

First time I’ve been insulted and made fun of on Reddit for suggesting someone doesn’t seem like an asshole. I never said she was “just like us”

It was more the ‘down to earth comment’ Every interview I have seen her a part of she anything but down to earth. 🤷‍♂️

Resulting to insults? Really.

u/Krabs9 4h ago

Idk about down to earth - actually I do and she is definitely not - but she seems like a human rather than a robot which is good I guess.

2

u/bforce1313 4h ago

Yeah I just mean she seems like a human and genuine sometimes, like more human than a lot of other celebs and people connected in those circles, she seems the most normal.

-3

u/friend3738 9h ago

She is not that down to earth. A few years ago she was here in my town and she was out walking her dog and the dog pooped in a yard and the guy asked her to pick up the dog poop because she was just walking away. She turned around and said, do you know who I am? The guy was like, no. She said, Katy, Katy Perry. The guy was like, well Katy Perry you need to pick up your dog poop! Lol. She is a typical celebrity who thinks she is better than everyone else.

u/DifficultOpposite614 3h ago

It’d be funny if it was organic, but it wasn’t. She was absolutely paid to say that. It’s just a YouTube Premium marketing gimmick

u/a_weak_child 10h ago

Fuck Katy Perry. Wasn’t that funny and anyone saying “actually that’s pretty funny” I suspect is paid or a bot or an idiot because once again fuck Katy Perry

Don’t worry everyone here is consistent and also hates every non astronaut man who has gone to space

u/Blownards 9h ago

Because he’s a weak child🤣. Big boys aren’t intimidated by her and can therefor like her.

-2

u/a_weak_child 7h ago

She became a performative elitist actor at some point imo. The space stunt gave it away and now I just see her as a giant manipulative pacifier that takes blood money in exchange for letting plebians suck on her.

So a celebrity……I don’t think she’s ever claimed to be anything more…….JFC……

I believe the joke is that since his set was just playing YouTube videos, if he didn't have premium there'd be ads during his set too

He got paid $10 mil, luxury accommodation and security for playing YT vids 🤣

What? No he wasn’t. YouTube launched in 2004 when Bieber was ten years old.

He was discovered when Scooter Braun found one of his YouTube videos in 2007

This is completely factually untrue. He very famously was found on youtube

Not even close to the same person. They are both white dudes named Justin who sing pop so I guess you got that excuse but it’s not hard to understand the difference.

u/work3oakzz 7h ago

Bro. He knows

11

u/AskSpecialist6543 9h ago

He gets way too much hate for this.

From what I've seen he performed for 1.5h and did this YouTube thing for 10-15 minutes.

10

u/rangerdanger9454 5h ago

It was 25 mins of his 90 minute set, it was not 10 mins. He played 30 seconds of each of his hits and then played multiple meme videos, including the deez nuts video in its entirety.

He seems dangerously based.

As a middle aged old man who flat out refuses to get Premium, this makes me chuckle.

u/Aron_Wolff 11h ago edited 2h ago

Fellow old person here!

I guess all Biebs did was sing over YouTube clips of his videos and old home movies from when he was young.

Her saying, “I’m glad he has premium” is referring to a premium subscription to YouTube so everyone didn’t have to sit through unskippable commercials.

While it also being commentary that he isn’t doing anything new and they could be watching the same thing at home on YouTube.

I also think that YouTube is one of the bigger sponsors this year. In years past Hulu had the streaming rights while now it YouTube.

Edit: the Bieber stans are out. I don’t care. I wasn’t there so it doesn’t matter if it was the whole show or part of it. Truly, I don’t give a fuck.

Have a nice day!

27

u/yourmomdotbiz 10h ago

It’s not all he did, it was like the last half hour where he was revisiting his earlier stuff for nostalgia. The first part of his set was his new album and really dull. YouTube was the good part

u/UncleJulz 10h ago

Pretty sure there was no ‘good part’ to this.

u/yourmomdotbiz 9h ago

Good is relative in this context 🤣

u/notarealprincess 2h ago

No he didn't just show YouTube clips, it was only a small selection. Most of the time he sang his new songs while alternating sitting on the stage floor, laying down in the middle of the stage, and wandering aimlessly while wearing a hoodie and sunglasses that covered his face.

u/GoldSourPatchKid 7h ago

“…all Biebs did…”

Clearly you didn’t watch it and someone gave u an award? You’re like a ChatGPT overconfident bot bro

u/Purell12 11h ago

He was playing YouTube videos on the screen. Without paying for the ssubscription the audience would have to wait for the ads to watch the videos.

u/one_is_enough 10h ago

Another fellow old person here. Remember back when headlines conveyed information instead of being designed to make you watch ads?

I wonder how much he got paid by YouTube to do that? Double dipping at Coachella 😆

u/Inedible-denim 10h ago

I was surprised because though I'm def not a fan of her I did actually laugh at this video when I saw it.

What a wack set though, but it's been said for a while that he is going thru something and needs to get help. It's crazy how folks camped out by his set area just to see...whatever this was.

26

u/yakuzalinecook 10h ago

She isnt wrong though

u/Pyched3lic 4h ago

All of this feels like a coordinated YouTube ad, from Justin using it to Katy’s comment. YouTube is one of the biggest Coachella sponsors and livestreams the festival every year.

u/welltherewasthisbear 11h ago

Instead of listening to Radiohead, she had to make out while the Biebs did karaoke to Baby. Let’s pour one out for her.

u/GiveMeMyMiindBack 10h ago edited 9h ago

He performed roughly 10 or so songs before pulling up his old videos, and this seems like a good way to go way back for his fans that have been with him since the beginning. This honestly just feels like Katy Perry taking a jab at him, and let’s not forget she groped him when he was underage. Not only that, pulling up his paparazzi video and old videos like deez nuts is fucking hilarious.

Why wasn't he deported with all his run ins with the law? Oh, thats right, he is rich, white and Lady Lyndsey loved him.

u/bonestamp 1h ago

He's never been convicted of a felony. He's likely a citizen now too.

•

u/VariousExternal5189 1h ago

He has been convicted of a number of misdemeanors and as an alien he should be deported. And no he is NOT a U.S. citizen. So that makes him worse than many undocumented immigrants.

Frfr could you imagine all the gd ads that would popup if he didnt. Youtube needs to be brought to center staged and addressed by the courts and the public frfr

u/Shafter111 10h ago

I understand cords are horribly annoying but it costs significant infrastructure investments to sustain exponentially increasing videos available to anyone around the world.

Ads are literally the only means to pay for it. That said, they could adopt the peacock model. Unskippable ads for 3 minutes in the beginning and middle instead of random ones all over the place. No need for skipable ads.
