With this being his first tour in three years, Beliebers are obviously eager to make the most out of this tour. The best collaborations come by way of “Where Are Ü Now” (Skrillex and Diplo) and Halsey’s guest spot on “The Feeling”. From extremely successful singles, such as “Where Are U Now” and “What Do You Mean?”, to his MTV VMA performance to every interview when he has mentioned his love for Selena Gomez, it seems we can’t get enough of Bieber.

Meanwhile, Bieber shared that he has a few idols in the music industry. The beat beckons him like a persistently cheery wingman trying to get his heartbroken friend back on the dance floor.
So is Bieber making his tickets too inaccessible to his fans? A half-decade into his pop career, and at his professional low point after an endless stream of PR nightmares, Bieber sportingly endured the greatest public undressing any egomaniacal 20-year-old has ever received, at his very own Comedy Central roast. Bieber’s sound is so well-packaged and concise that hearing someone else is nearly off-putting. “I’ll Show You”, as aforementioned finds Bieber attempting to rehabilitate a tarnished reputation: “Sometimes it’s hard to do the right thing / when the pressure’s coming down like lightning / it’s like they want me to be ideal / when they don’t know I’m hurting”. But on the whole, goal is a stark, solemn, woefully self-serious record, and this is largely to its detriment.
After asking their parents for a raise in their allowances, upset fans took to the Internet, behind the hashtag #justiceforbrokebeliebers. Which is way too often. So I was like, ‘Can I play you these songs?’ and he was like, ‘I wanna hear everything.’ To hear him say that, it stuck with me. Most likely to the discomfort and outrage of many, Bieber continued to compare the track’s simplicity and minimalism to The Beatles’ 1970 cut, “Let It Be”. Until then, I’ll take a mojito.
His apology songs (“Life Is Worth Living”, “Purpose“) feel honest. Bieber whispers, funeral-serious, over pulsating synths.
The I’ll Show You experience offers the chance to meet Bieber and receive a group selfie as well as early entry into the concert and the chance to go backstage. Whose heart is the biggest? In the case of the collaborations on goal, overall they are so-so.
Maybe Justin should have worded his post a little better and made a more modest claim.
