So a few days ago, Justin said that he had a camera and a laptop stolen from his tour containing personal footage. Since then, a Twitter account called Gexwy has been leaking some information.

 

Turns out, it was all some massive prank for the Beauty and a Beat video!

 

Watch it:

 

 

And the (rather cheap) artwork:

That video is fantastic!

He got so hot over the years, or maybe it's just in this video.

No, I found myself fangirling over him when he got wet. Nice idea for the video, Nicki looks gorge too.

Video's cute, song's cute, Nicki and Justin are cute, IT'S ALL CUTE.

 

The dance break bit is a bit shit though.

Nice concept for the video. It's not original or anything, but I like it as opposed to the "party in a club" sort of video I was expecting for the video. Nicki looks so good though!

 

PLEASE let this be a smash!

Genius idea with the fake twitter and combining it with the video, it certainly got people talking. Nicki looking her best in a while. Perfect single choices so far this era.

 

Way to plug Just Dance 4 too given that the song features in the game.

The whole publicity stunt screams desperate to me.

 

And the videos alright.

It's such a good video! I liked the song beforehand, but hadn't bothered to go back to it since the album's release... I seem to remember it was one of my favourites anyway, so I'm glad it's being released as a single. I have to echo cute that it's all very cute and Justin looks so good too. I'm not a fan of the bit down the slide/afterwards, but that'll probably be cut out of the TV edit anyway so it's all good!

It's called product placement babe ;) :P

Seems like an extremely immature and irresponsible idea to me. Did the police get involved or were they in on it? Because if they did that's a monumental waste of police time.

 

(Also, awful song. Flush).

I know that 'babe' ;)

I'd assume the police didn't get involved and were in on it, his management won't be that stupid. The fanbase saw through it all anyway and guessed it was a prank because he kept going on about it all on Twitter instead of just getting the police involved and sorting it out.

I really hated his music before this era, but I loved 'Boyfriend', really quite liked 'As Long As You Love Me' and this isn't so bad either.

 

Also, he is turning into a rather strapping young man too. He's so much better than he used to be, thank god.

That sounds like a big hit, and gota give it to him great video!

Then again I thought As Long As You Love Me was going to be huge but it wasnt..did well, but wasnt massive. I'm sure this will do very well though, very catchy.

So, wait… Justin Bieber's laptop wasn't stolen?! Totally fell for it! Did you? Here's the crazy new video for "Beauty And A Beat" ft. Nicki Minaj! Justin wants his VEVO 24 hour record back... Can he get to 10 million views?

That's on VEVO's facebook page...

 

He wants it BACK? What video beat him the first time round? :o

I think it's meant to be 'Live While We're Young' (although I'm not convinced it did beat the record - well, are VEVO & YouTube views counted seperate and then combined or :unsure:).

 

I hope this manages it, I really love it now, especially the whole style of Justin carrying around the camera. It's just so much fun that suits the song.

Oh my god that has to be the cheapest cover I've seen in absolutely ages :lol: Another pretty good song though, as well as a pretty good video and he is getting much better looking, I actually thought he'd be one of those who just got even worse looking but clearly not!

 

 

'Pretty good' overall is much better than 'awful' like last era!

What is with that cover!?!? :lol:

That sounds like a big hit, and gota give it to him great video!

ALAYLM is one of his biggest hits in the US though.

Loving the concept and Bieber actually looks hot. The bit with him and Nicki :wub:

i dont like their combination

The video is ok and the song is a bit of a let down after two quite grown up sounding singles. I always appreciate a Minaj injection, but without it it'd be quite lame with echos of young Bieber. It'll probably grow on me.
