He's working with Diplo and Skrillex, and stuff.
-
- Like, I don't get what this has to do with the song.

- Do you trust me? Do you trust me?

- Man, if Justin Bieber told me, "Let's jump out of a roof"-- why not?

- He tries way too hard.
-
- Good old Biebs.
-
- There's so much going on in this video
-
that I don't even know what was happening.
-
- You don't understand how long I've been waiting for this to happen.
-
I've been waiting that one day I walk in

and you guys are gonna show me Justin

and I'm gonna freak out.

Oh my god!

♪ (punk rock music) ♪
-
- (Finebros) So first off, do you like this song?
-
- Yeah!
-
- Yes.
-
- It's actually pretty good. (laughs)
-
- I love this song to be honest.
-
- At first, it was a pretty good song until it got over-played.
-
- A million times yes.
-
I'm still salty that all my friends that hated Justin before like him now.
-
- (Finebros) There's been a lot of people who have hated Bieber's music
-
in the past, but now are upset because they actually like his music now.
-
- That's kind of mean.
-
Yeah, this album was pretty good.
-
- I know! I hate that I have to justify myself for him.
-
- My guy friends too especially.
-
They're like, "Oh god! I hate Justin Bieber,
-
but this music is amazing!"
-
- The songs before weren't necessarily for everyone.
-
It was like for a little ten year old girl.
-
It's like the evolution of Bieber.
-
He's just getting better and better.
-
- (Finebros) Were you ever a Justin Beiber fan?
-
- I've been a Justin Bieber fan since 2009.
-
- I didn't really listen to that type of music.
-
- I'm not a fan of him as a person, but I like his songs.
-
- Nah, honestly, never.
-
My sister is a huge Belieber.
-
"(as sister) Now you like him 'cause blah, blah, blah."
-
I'm like, "Yo, that's not my fault.
-
I might have hated spaghetti yesterday,
-
but now they put some good sauce on top of it
-
now I like it."
-
- (Finebros) Okay, so let's talk about the music video.
-
In your opinion, what perception does Justin Bieber give off
-
about himself making a music video like this?
-
- Does there have to be a perception?
-
It just looked like a normal music video to me.
-
- Like he's trying to be a mysterious romantic?
-
- Sexy. He wanted to be very sexy.
-
- I think it's the whole, like, "I'm totally older now.
-
I'm having so much sex."
-
- His demographics are getting older, so he's trying to show,
-
"Okay, look, I'm growing too, so there's a new page to my music."
-
- (Finebros) So Bieber's had a lot of controversy over time.
-
He's had a lot of run-ins with the law.
-
Do you remember, when those things were happening,
-
how you felt about him at that time?
-
- I just thought he was a douche.
-
- I was just like, "You idiot. Why are you doing this to yourself?"
-
- I kind of expected it 'cause I feel like a lot of people
-
who are child stars just end up taking bad words a lot of the time.
-
- Miley Cyrus, Shia LaBeouf, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes--
-
they all started, like, really good kids,
-
so I wasn't really surprised that he turned out the way he did.
-
- He's kind of being stupid right now
-
but with that much money and that much fame,
-
sometimes [bleep] gonna get to your head.
-
He's being a teenager.
-
- I still liked him.
-
It's okay to admit it.
-
Like, you're not a bad fan saying what he did was wrong.
-
But you have to forgive people.
-
- It's so hard to have an opinion about famous people.
-
I don't know who Justin Bieber is as a person.
-
I don't know anything about him.
-
I know what I've been told about him
-
and I don't like to judge people that I've never met before,
-
even if it's my friend being like, "Yeah, that guy was a jerk when I met him."
-
I didn't meet him, so I don't know.
-
- (Finebros) So in the past year, Bieber has made statements
-
regarding his past behavior and wanting to change
-
and even doing things like being the subject of a roast
-
on Comedy Central.
-
What do you think about that?
-
- I think that that was actually pretty good.
-
That's mature of him.
-
- He's making plays, making big moves.
-
He asked Madden.
-
- I think, artistically speaking, he's changed.
-
I think, as a person, we'll have to wait and see.
-
- That's a good thing to do
-
but he has to hold up to that.
-
If he doesn't hold up to that then there's no point.
-
- I don't think people ever really change.
-
I think that it's just a ploy from his manager
-
or he thought of it himself to get himself more popular.
-
- Some people might say, "Oh, it's just a publicity stunt
-
to get his PR, his whole image better."
-
But there has to be some truth behind it.
-
If you're gonna actually put yourself out there
-
and do admit that you're wrong to stuff, it says a lot about you.
-
- (Finebros) And that is a thing across a lot of music
-
and celebrity culture; they can do really bad things
-
yet people will still listen to their music
-
and fans will still defend them.
-
Why do you think that is?
-
- Well, that's called worshipping people. (laughs)
-
- It's an addiction and I think, at the other end,
-
it's like you're almost blinded.
-
- It's kind of dumb because even though you love this person so much,
-
you don't know them and you can't support their behavior
-
'cause then they're gonna think they're not doing anything wrong.
-
- If you can see potential in someone
-
and you know they can change and grow
-
then you're just like, "Well, I'm gonna stick around
-
because I know this person's gonna get better."
-
- I think there's some die-hard fans of people
-
who remember what they were like when they were young
-
and they want them to stay that person
-
and it's so hard and such a drastic change
-
to see them become this different person
-
that you can't really get behind and you just have this
-
almost naive sense of deniability
-
that it's still this little 12-year-old inside.
-
"No, he's just going through a phase. He'll be better."
-
- (Finebros) On the flip side, is it fair for these artists
-
to have all this public spotlight on them,
-
that we're judging them so much when in a lot ways
-
society is creating this? - Yeah, that's true
-
because most of the time the media over-exaggerates
-
what the musical artists or famous person in general does.
-
- Just because he's famous doesn't mean he's on some pedestal
-
and should be perfect.
-
He's still gonna make mistakes.
-
He's 17 and he egged someone's house.
-
I'm pretty sure that's in shows all the time
-
or I'm pretty sure you've thought about doing that once or twice.
-
- You have to remember they are actually people
-
because-- but it also is a responsibility
-
for them being in the spotlight, to make good decisions
-
and be role models.
-
- Because he's Justin Bieber, because they are a celebrity,
-
we make it so much bigger than it has to be.
-
The only things we should ever be focusing on
-
when it comes to celebrities like that
-
is either their music or when they do something really bad
-
that we should be focusing on.
-
- (Finebros) So back to this song,
-
this was number one on the Billboard Hot 100,
-
which is the very first time Bieber's had a number one hit.
-
- Ever?
-
- Really?
-
All these years and he's been so famous
-
and he's never had a number one?
-
- Oh my god!
-
We were at the top, and then we went to the bottom,
-
but now we're back at the top so shout out to Scooter.
-
- (Finebros) I love that you always use the "we".
-
- Because it's "we"! This is a "we" thing!
-
Beliebers are family. We're in this together.
-
He always says, "OUR album."
-
So if it's our album, everything he owns is mine too.
-
- (Finebros) Finally, with his new album about to come out,
-
do you plan to get it? - I probably will.
-
- Mm, no.
-
- I'm not gonna pay to listen to Justin Bieber.
-
- No, I never buy albums.
-
- I'll probably stream it on Spotify.
-
- Pirate Bay, here I come. (laughs)
-
- iTunes $12.99, let's go. I never drop money.
-
- The only money I've ever spent is on the weekend,
-
and you know what, now it's gonna be Bieber.
-
- Yes, it's already pre-ordered.
-
Do you know how long we have been waiting?
-
This album is going to be a top-selling album
-
and we're finally going to get a Grammy.
-
I have nothing else to say. (Finebros chuckles)
-
I just love him
