As reported by Hollywood Life, the 2015 American Music Awards or AMAs is set for this coming Sunday and things may get weird between two of the leading solo artists that have been starring in charts for this month.
Bieber’s strong and powerful vocals show the seriousness he has about his career, which is a skill not many would characterize him as having a few years ago. Though much the songwriting leaves something be desired this new Bieber is a more honest and compassionate Bieber, finally able to pull us along on the journey away from his misguided youth.
Lyrically, Bieber sings about redemption, apologies, lost love, and hope. “You know, in relationship, you see something on TV and you are like, ‘I remember when we used to watch this or I remember that smell; it reminds me of that time'”.
On objective, Bieber’s voices his regrets – while emphasising his rekindled spirituality and the unfair expectations and judgements that accompany fame – over a backdrop of production best described as a synthesis of dance music and modern R&B.
“The Ultimate #Purpose #Experience” reportedly allows fans to take a selfie with Bieber backstage and be seated in a barricaded section closest to the stage.
Justin Bieber has been on a series of interviews lately where his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez’s name is always brought up. Do you get to use your own phone?
Along with the album Justin Bieber is going on tour. On the other hand, One Direction have stayed in the headlines following bandmate Zayn Malik’s departure in March.
What is most striking about this album is how relatable it is. The song is so subtle and soft that it’s easy to listen to and the lyrics can make a listener feel like One Direction is talking to them personally.

“It was just like I could go in two different directions: I could chose to sing about what everyone else is singing about right now, or I could chose to take a piece of me and put it in this project”, Bieber explained. To date, Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late holds the record with 535,000 units.
