Since bursting on the scene in 2009 at age 15, Justin Bieber has made his mark on pop culture. He’s sold millions of albums, appeared in three concert movies, and became a celebrity of global proportions. He’s also a role model for young artists, helping them navigate the challenges that come with such fame.
That said, he’s not without his controversies and bad behavior. A recently resurfaced clip from an interview with him in 2009 has caught the attention of many, with critics attacking the journalist for her condescending tone. It’s a reminder that even back then, there were some people who had doubts about the singer’s rise to stardom.
Sandie Rinaldo, a Canadian journalist who works on CTV News, sat down with Justin to talk about his rise to fame. As the video begins, Justin is 15 years old and just beginning to experience the whirlwind of celebrity life. Sandie questions him about his rise to the top, asking if it’s because of marketing or if there was something more to it.
Justin tries to explain that it’s a combination of things, and then Sandie brings up the case of rapper Lloyd, who experienced a similar rise to fame but hasn’t enjoyed as much success. She argues that it’s because of his rap style, which she deems less catchy than Justin’s music. Justin responds by claiming that he has more talent, and then goes on to discuss his musical influences.
In the years since, Bieber has gone on to release a series of hit albums and even made a movie about himself. He’s become one of the highest paid musicians in the world and has a large number of celebrity friends, including Kanye West, Miley Cyrus and his musical mentor Usher. He’s also married to Hailey Baldwin and has his own fashion line called Drew House.
He’s a very busy man, so there are times when he needs to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. This video is the perfect example. It’s a beautiful, understated piece that captures the essence of the song, “Where Are U Now.” It’s also one of the most technically impressive videos in his discography.
It may not be the most popular music video, but it’s a cute and memorable one. It starts out with Justin at a laundromat, which led to meet-cutes in real life happening all over the country. And, of course, it features a lot of singing and dancing.
Justin hasn’t always been the most stable person in the public eye, but he’s worked hard to make good on his promises to his fans. Hopefully, his future is bright, and we can all watch him continue to grow as an artist and a person. He’s a great role model for younger artists, and we hope he continues to be that.
