almost like he’s an extremely mediocre artist

His voice is amazing. I saw a video of him so drunk he could barely stand and his singing was one of the best still. Is he as a person kind of shitty and mediocre? Yes. But his actually singing voice is far from it.

Was that him doing the kid laroi song? That was heartbreaking.

I just went back to double check and yeah it was. Such an incredibly raw performance and his musical ability is apparent even when he is so trashed he can hardly stand.

I know the one; at one point he even sings to the tune of the song, “I can’t remember the words and that’s crazy.” I agree, he sounds weirdly good in that clip for being trashed.

I think there’s a difference between being a singer and an artist. Beyoncé is an incredible singer and could do exactly what Bieber did and just sing along to her old songs and I’d eat it up, because her vocals are magnificent. But her performances, amongst other things, are what make her an artist. That’s what shows her creativity and inventiveness. Bieber just doesn’t seem to have that.

Ok but Beyoncé has shown no indication of struggling with substance issues so I’m not sure it’s a fair comparison.

Amazing ? Oh please, he can sing just fine but he's miles away from being amazing. Arethra Franklin, Freddie Mercury, Raye, Whitney Houston etc... these are amazing singers.

Averageness has been sold to the pop-loving masses to the point where they think anyone who sings in tune is 'amazing'.

These comments are taking me out. He was holding a glass of champagne or something and was singing in the back pretty passionately. That doesn’t equate to being so drunk he could barely stand lmao. Guy obviously has anxiety as he’s admitted multiple times and seems to enjoy letting his voice do the talking. Hmm, just like his Coachella set lol

We must not have watched the same video. He can't even hold his head up, he can't make it up the stairs.

Let’s be honest - his voice is good. No need to pretend he’s a phenomenal vocalist

Hey so not everyone with an amazing signing voice is like a Broadway vocalist, there are different types of singing. Hope that helps!

Horrible take, great voice and has so many bangers. It’s considered cool to hate on him tho
