  • Justin Bieber's 'Die In Your Arms' Inspired By MJ Footage

    'It's Michael's personality ... it's some really special stuff,' pop star tells MTV News during 'Bieber Live.'

    <P><P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> is the first to admit that there are a wide variety of sounds and musicians that influenced his latest release, <i>Believe.</i> When he stopped by MTV's Times Square studio for the 30-minute special <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live"</a> on Tuesday night (June 19) &#8212; which he kicked off with a stripped-down performance of <a href="/news/articles/1685945/justin-bieber-die-in-your-arms-single.jhtml">"Die in Your Arms"</a> &#8212; Bieber shared a few behind-the-music secrets about his process of writing and recording the song with legendary producer Rodney Jerkins.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Vintage Michael Jackson Footage Influenced 'Die In Your Arms'" id="vid:793037.id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"Before I got in the booth, [Rodney] showed me this hour-long video of Michael [Jackson] footage, never been seen before.

  • Justin Bieber MTV Special Will Be A 'TRL' Throwback!

    'We have some surprises,' manager Scooter Braun teases about 'Bieber Live' airing tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
    By Jocelyn Vena

    <P>If you're wondering what to expect from Tuesday night's (June 19) MTV special, <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live,"</a> you need only think back to the days of "Total Request Live."</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>'s manager, Scooter Braun, has fond memories of the biggest stars visiting "TRL" to promote their latest record or movie back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and he wanted to capture some of that flavor tonight's show, airing at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Bieber is set to sit down with host Sway Calloway and some of his most devoted Beliebers as they celebrate the release of his brand-new album, <a href="/news/articles/1687691/justin-bieber-believe-album-details.jhtml"><i>Believe.</i></a></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Bieber Live' Will Be Full Of 'Surprises'" id="vid:792846" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>And if Bieber talking about his latest LP isn't enough, know that he'll also be performing! Braun is keeping the details about the special top secret, but did have a little tease for fans.</P><P>"So, he's gonna come in, he's gonna do 'Boyfriend' and he's probably gonna do something broken-down acoustic &#8212; a new version of one of the songs &#8212; and we have some surprises," Scooter told us. "And we're gonna have some fun. We want to bring it back to the old 'TRL' [days].</P><P>When we caught up with him last Friday, Braun also opened up about the conversations he had with Bieber as the teen star began recording tracks for his highly anticipated release. He noted that the album's sound reflects more than just a transition: It shows the 18-year-old's evolution.</P><P>"I think a lot of times with big superstars they don't always deliver on that big album," he said. "They don't meet the expectation ... sometimes it's because they're [already] superstars. Maybe they think they know it all and they don't want to listen to anyone else's input, and sometimes that works and sometimes that doesn't.</P><P>"He's growing and so is his music," <a href="/news/articles/1687569/justin-bieber-live-evolution.jhtml">Braun later added</a>. "And I don't think he's transitioning and losing any fans. I think he's just growing. We always study Michael Jackson, and the thing I loved about his career is he never lost that 2-year-old that bounced to his music. But at the same time, you'd go to a club and there were adults bouncing also. And I think that's what we want to do with Justin."</P><P><b>Don't miss <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live"</a> tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!</b></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Bieber Live'" id="id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

  • Justin Bieber Is A 'True G,' Big Sean Proclaims

    Rapper talks to MTV News about working on Believe ahead of 'Bieber Live' at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!
    By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Rob Markman

    <P>When <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> enlisted <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/big_sean/artist.jhtml">Big Sean</a> for his <a href="/news/articles/1687691/justin-bieber-believe-album-details.jhtml"><i>Believe</i></a> track <a href="/news/articles/1687112/justin-bieber-big-sean-as-long-as-you-love-me.jhtml">"As Long As You Love Me,"</a> the 24-year-old MC didn't clean up his NSFW act. Instead, Sean found a new way to express his more mature lyrics to the Bieber crowd.</P><P>"Bieber's a true G. People may not know that," Big Sean said recently. "Nah, but he is a good dude, man. And I ain't toning down nothing &#8212; I'm diverse, I can write raps to any type of song."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Is A 'True G,' Big Sean Says" id="vid:792807" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Sean also revealed to MTV News that on the same day he was recruited to work with the pop star, the rapper got a call from another artist &#8212; one who exists on the polar opposite end of the musical spectrum &#8212; also wanting to work with him.</P><P>"It's crazy! I got a call from Gucci Mane the same day I got a call from Bieber and his people to do two different projects," Big Sean recalled. "It's tight that I can be a person that's so diverse that I can do both of those and it's not reaching. I'm still me ... and I didn't compromise anything for Bieber. You know, I just didn't curse, which is easy. I don't have to curse every day."</P><P>Of course, the Bieber/Sean collaboration is definitely more in Justin territory thanks to a pulsing dance beat, courtesy of producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. The pair go back and forth about that special girl over some fist-pumping beats.</P><P>But Sean is hardly the only rapper who's giving <i>Believe</i> the co-sign: <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/06/12/justin-bieber-believe-with-nicki-minaj-drake">Drake, Ludacris and Nicki Minaj</a> all make cameos on the release, out on Tuesday (June 19). When we spoke to Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, he told us the singer worked hard to make sure the cameos fit perfectly.</P><P>"[Justin] and I are both very competitive, and he'd always look at me and go, 'This is the make-it-or-break-it album, and you got to push me. You got to tell me if I'm not good enough, and I might argue' ... so I really, really pushed him, and we took this album really seriously," Braun said. (Bieber will talk all about the making of the album tonight on <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live,"</a> set to air at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!)</P><P>"But I also had to give it room to grow," he added. "Sometimes I'd put him in writing sessions for two weeks, and we'd get one song out of it, and it was just because he had to find that place for himself and that music. And as the process went on, he really started hitting his stride. ... And I think everyone has a different favorite, but the one common thread is you don't dislike any songs."</P><P><b>Don't miss <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live"</a> tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!</b></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Bieber Live'" id="id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

  • Justin Bieber Forced To Play Unplugged Show After Apollo Power Outage

    JB will talk legendary gig and much more on tonight's 'Bieber Live' at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!
    By Gil Kaufman

    <P>Judging by the screams and massive crowds that follow him whenever he performs live, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> has a penchant for blowing his fans' minds. But on Monday night during a private show at Harlem, New York's legendary Apollo Theater he also blew out the power grid.</P><P>According to the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/biebers-hot-show-melts-down-apollo-power-043230787.html" target="_blank"><I>Associated Press</I></a>, Bieber was forced to finish the show unplugged after the power went out at the venue near the end of the show. Most of the stage instruments lost juice and manager Scooter Braun said the problem caused the singer to improvise.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber: The Evolution" id="vid:792290" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"Then we hear the fire alarm," Braun explained "Literally, the boy blew up the Apollo -- he heated up the Apollo." Before the show, Bieber tweeted that the gig was a special one for him given the history of the storied venue, which has hosted everyone from James Brown, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder to Mariah Carey and, recently, former Beatle Paul McCartney. "A lot of emotions in the building," he <a href="https://twitter.com/justinbieber/status/214870023251042304" target="_blank">wrote</a>. "This one is special. This one is for MJ." A short time later, he joked, "Me and @ludacris blew up the power at the @ApolloTheater. Haha. Epic. #beastmode ... A night none of us will ever forget!! That is how u end an #AllAroundTheWorld run!!! With no power for the last song ... my fans sang it 4 me!"</P><P>The power outage only affected the stage instruments and some lighting and while Braun was told the problem would be solved in a few minutes, it went on for more than 40 minutes. Bieber tried to have fun with the glitch at first, joking that it was all the "hot girls in here," according to Apollo rep Nina Flowers, who ranked the snafu as a classic "Apollo moment."</P><P>The 18-year-old pro hardly missed a beat, jumping behind the drums for a solo and asking the crowd to serenade Braun for his birthday. Though he was happy to vamp for a bit, at some point Braun said Bieber got frustrated when the power outage went on for nearly an hour because the show was being taped as part of an NBC special slated to air later this week in celebration of his new album, <a href="/news/articles/1687691/justin-bieber-believe-album-details.jhtml"><I>Believe</I></a>&#8232;.</P><P>He got over it and rewarded the crowd that had stuck with him during the outage by performing his hit single "Boyfriend" with some audience participation. "He walks out, he literally quiets the crowd, and he says, 'I'm sorry the power is out. . (But) you guys have always had my back. I'm going to sing 'Boyfriend' and you're going to sing it back to me,'" Braun said. Flowers didn't know what caused the power to run out, but she gave Bieber props for his professionalism. "He could have stopped; he could have not gone on and said, I did everything . but he came back on," she said.</P><P><B>Don't miss <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live"</a>&#8232; tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.</B></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="MTV First: Justin Bieber" id="id:1684329" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

  • Justin Bieber: A Believe Cheat Sheet

    Pop star celebrates his latest release on tonight's 'Bieber Live,' where Justin will perform and chat with Sway at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!
    By Jocelyn Vena

    <P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> is telling his fans to <a href="/news/articles/1687569/justin-bieber-live-evolution.jhtml"><i>Believe</i></a> on his spankin' new album, out Tuesday (June 19). The release is a bona fide something-for-everyone pop album, full of fist-pumping dance tracks, sweet love ballads and swaggy-to-the-max R&B ditties.</P><P>The singer began teasing the release in late 2011, and soon after, hit the studio with everyone from <a href="/news/articles/1684496/justin-bieber-kim-kardashian-kanye-west.jhtml">Kanye West</a> to <a href="/news/articles/1677263/justin-bieber-will-i-am-believe.jhtml">will.i.am</a> to <a href="/news/articles/1683050/justin-bieber-taylor-swift-collaboration.jhtml">Taylor Swift</a>, leaving fans wondering just <i>what</i> the album would end up sounding like. And while none of those tracks made the final cut, what did paints a complete picture of the 18-year-old's current musical motives. And they are? Well, to get you dancing to bumping beats and swooning for him while he pines over potential love on slower jams.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'Bieber Live'" id="id:1687833" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>MTV News has rounded up all the vital information to get you up to speed on today's album release. Also, be sure to tune in on tonight for MTV's <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live,"</a> where Justin will dish about his new album at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT. Here is your <i>Believe</i> cheat sheet:</P><P><B>How It Came Together</B><br> When his manager, Scooter Braun, stopped by the MTV News offices last week, he revealed that it was quite a lengthy process to make the album, and one that was all-hands-on-deck for the singer and his team. Over the course of making the album, Bieber cooked up hundreds of tracks over an 8-month period.</P><P>"He and I are both very competitive, and he'd always look at me and go, 'This is the make-it-or-break-it album, and you got to push me. You got to tell me if I'm not good enough, and I might argue' ... so I really, really pushed him, and we took this album really seriously," Braun said. "But I also had to give room to grow. Sometimes I'd put him in writing sessions for two weeks, and we'd get one song out of it, and it was just because he had to find that place for himself and that music. And as the process went on, he really started hitting his stride. ... And I think everyone has a different favorite, but the one common thread is you don't dislike any songs."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber: The Evolution" id="vid:792290" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P><B>The Tracks</B><br> With <a href="/news/articles/1686793/justin-bieber-believe-album.jhtml">13 songs on the <i>Believe</i></a> standard edition and 16 on the deluxe, there was an exact science to decide what would end up making it and getting put out into the world.</P><P>"How do you narrow it down to pick?" Braun said. "You start to look at songs that fulfill a need, but keep an album flowing, so every song has to make sense, they have to fit well ... Sometimes there were two songs that we loved, but they fulfilled the same purpose, [so we had to say,] 'But this is the better of the two, so we're gonna choose this one.' "</P><P><a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/06/19/justin-bieber-gifs-swag/"><b>Check out the swaggiest GIFs ever of Justin Bieber.</b></a></P><P>Braun even dissected a bit how those songs piece together to make the complete <i>Believe</i> puzzle. "Songs like 'Fall' and these kind of love ballads that throw back to the earlier stuff ... and then you have songs like <a href="/news/articles/1687112/justin-bieber-big-sean-as-long-as-you-love-me.jhtml">'As Long As You Love Me,'</a> they're still Justin, but it's a growth. Songs like <a href="/news/articles/1682090/justin-bieber-justin-timberlake-maturity.jhtml">'Boyfriend,'</a> that shocked a lot of people, but showed growth. And then you have songs like 'Catching Feelings,' that's really like an old-school Stevie Wonder type of throwback."</P><P><B>The Collaborators</B><br> While Bieber hit the studio with many potential collaborators, the ones that made the album really help him shine. Ludacris once again hooked up with Bieber for club banger <a href="/news/articles/1686566/justin-bieber-ludacris-all-around-the-world.jhtml">"All Around the World,"</a> a definitely more mature record than their "Baby." But, the hip-hop swag doesn't end there. He's got Big Sean on "As Long As You Love Me," Drake for the very Drake-sounding "Right Here," and finally Nicki Minaj for the four-on-the-floor party starter "Beauty and the Beat."</P><P><B>The Producers</B><br> In addition to signing up A-list collaborators to work on some of the tracks on the album, Bieber also sought out the help of some of the brightest producers in the game. His mentor, Usher, gets an executive producer credit on the album, overseeing it all. But, it's tunes that the Messengers, Max Martin, Mike Posner and Mason Levy, Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, Hit-Boy and Diplo all helped produce that truly the show the range of pop styles encapsulated on the album.</P><P><B>The Bottom Line</B><br> In the end, the album is for his fans. And the last song on the standard edition of the album, its title track, was written specifically with them in mind. "Then you have songs like 'Believe,' that's the new voice, but he's singing directly to the fans and telling him what he's been through the last couple years and how they got him through it," Braun said. "So, I think there's something for everyone. He's not defined by genre."</P><P><i>Have you picked up <i>Believe</i> yet? Share your thoughts in the comments!</i></P><P><b>Don't miss <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live"</a> tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.</b></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Scooter Braun On The Evolution Of Justin Bieber" id="vid:791929" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

While he was in his native country, he decided to do something really romantic for lady love <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/gomez__selena/artist.jhtml">Selena Gomez</a>.</P><P>A day before he and Gomez appeared on the awards show, Justin rented a helicopter and flew around Toronto between rehearsals. During the ride, he took her to his hometown of Stratford, Ontario, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20604852,00.html" target="_blank">People.com</a> reported. A source added that it was "a relaxing and romantic break from work" and that "they were very excited."</P><P>Sunday was just as exciting for Bieber as he took home two prizes for Best International Video of the Year by a Canadian for "Boyfriend" and UR Fave Artist. The teen also hit the stage to perform "Boyfriend" and "All Around the World," from his album <i>Believe,</i> out Tuesday. Be sure to tune in on Tuesday for MTV's "Bieber Live," where Justin will dish about his new album at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT.</P><P>Bieber recently gushed about his girlfriend to <a href="http://fabulousmag.co.uk/2012/06/18/justin-bieber-exclusive-interview-uk-girls-have-the-dirtiest-mouths/" target="_blank"><i>Fabulous</i></a> magazine, but noted that he also has love for the other ladies in his life: his fans.</P><P>"I never like to throw it in my fans' faces. I love my fans and I'd never want to do that to them," he said of keeping a low profile with Selena. "It's my private life and I like to keep that separate. I don't have many things that I get to myself but that's one thing. I'm very happy, and I know my fans just want to be happy for me."</P><P>Bieber and Gomez's relationship first became public in January 2011 when they were <a href="/news/articles/1655145/justin-bieber-selena-gomez-spotted-together-st-lucia.jhtml">spotted on vacation together in St. Lucia</a>. But in the 18 months since they were photographed on that romantic trip, they haven't been shy about their love for each other.</P><P>"My first kiss with Selena was the best of my life. It was in the car. It was scary and spontaneous and it was just awesome," he recalled. "What does love feel like? It feels good. If you're really in love, then you should get butterflies &#8212; butterflies and happiness. That's how I feel anyway."</P><P>Bieber sings plenty about love on his June 19 album, <a href="/news/articles/1687569/justin-bieber-live-evolution.jhtml"><i>Believe.</i></a> And he'll not only discuss the release, but also perform during "Bieber Live" on MTV tomorrow.</P><P><b>Don't miss <a href="/news/articles/1687565/justin-bieber-live-mtv.jhtml">"Bieber Live"</a> on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.</b></p>

  • Justin Bieber: A 'Humble' Evolution From My World To Believe

    Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, opens up to MTV News about the singer before 'Bieber Live' airs Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
    By Jocelyn Vena

    <P>In the lead-up to the release of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>'s album <a href="/news/articles/1686793/justin-bieber-believe-album.jhtml"><i>Believe</a>,</i> there has been a lot of talk about how much the 18-year-old has grown up since he dropped his first EP, <i>My World,</i> back in 2009. Sure, he <i>is</i> actually older, but the conversation has also been focused on how his music sounds more mature. He no longer seems to be crafting sugary-sweet tracks like "Baby."</P><P>The pop star will celebrate his mature new album during "Bieber Live," airing Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Bieber will join Sway and 100 lucky fans for an interview and a pair of performances.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Scooter Braun On The Evolution Of Justin Bieber" id="vid:791929" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Adding to his growth is the fact that in the two and a half years since that debut release, Bieber has quite literally done it all. He's toured the world (several times over), topped the charts, won <i>a lot</i> of awards, fallen in love, become a <a href="/news/articles/1681155/carly-rae-jepsen-justin-bieber-curiosity.jhtml">boss to his own artist</a>, owned the box office, befriended some of the biggest MCs in the game, vowed to "Never Say Never" and, yes, became legal.</P><P>As tiring as it may sound to <i>be</i> Justin Bieber, his manager, Scooter Braun, notes that when the singer sat down to make the album, he didn't want to rush it or be lazy about it. He wanted it to be perfect. His experiences are not only helping shape him as an artist but also helping him mature as one.</P><P>"You know, I think a lot of times with big superstars, they don't always deliver on that big album. They don't meet the expectation ... sometimes it's because they're superstars," Braun explained to MTV News. "Maybe they think they know it all and they don't want to listen to anyone else's input, and sometimes that works and sometimes that doesn't.</P><P>"Justin was really humble about this," he continued. "He probably wrote 200 songs and we just kept working and working and narrowing it down. And there were so many records that didn't even make it that we'll save for something else. I think when it was all said and done, there wasn't one person who listened to that album all the whole way through and thought that we didn't have something special and really great and something that didn't just reach the teenagers, but everyone &#8212; without losing the teenagers."</P><P>The album certainly has been teased for quite some time. The buzz began to really pick up around the time of the release of his holiday album in 2011, when he dropped the name <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/timberlake_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Timberlake</a> as his template for career evolution, setting the bar quite high. "I'm proudest of Justin with this album 'cause I think he delivered," Braun said. "For a superstar to deliver means a lot."</P><P>Others who worked with Bieber on the release told MTV News during the recording process that it was important for him to make music that would help expand his brand beyond the tween and teen market. A big part of Bieber's musical evolution, however, is about making sure no one gets alienated.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber: The Evolution" id="vid:792290" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"The only conversation we've had about Justin's album that we're about to do is it's really important that it's the proper transition because we've seen him [with] 'Baby,' now we're watching him grow up," his vocal producer, <a href="/news/articles/1675015/justin-bieber-new-album.jhtml">Kuk Harrell</a>, told MTV News back in November. "And we can't just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition. There's a record in between."</P><P>That mission to help Bieber make the right choices as an adult artist was certainly priority number one when Bieber hit the studio with Mike Posner to work on the album's <a href="/news/articles/1681863/justin-bieber-believe-album.jhtml">lead single, "Boyfriend."</a> "I think our goal was to make something that me and my friends could listen to in the car," Posner explained in March. "I think we've all known Justin since he was 13, and that's not the kid I was in the studio with anymore. He's an 18-year-old. He skateboards with Lil Wayne and hangs out with Lil Twist. Those are his homies. And he listens to hip-hop and he's a really cool kid. He's not like a corny guy.</P><P>"So I wanted to make something that reflected who he is now and who he is going to continue to be," Posner continued. "I think people have been waiting [for] when he's going to turn that corner, and the time is now."</P><P>Listening to his album, it's clear that Bieber is trying out new sounds, from dance to R&B and everything in between. But he also just plain sounds different. His voice is deeper than it was when he first started making music. That register change is something he commented on in a recent interview with MTV News.</P><P>"It's really deep," he joked. "The thing is, I'd always put out random songs and give it to my fans, and when my voice was changing I was doing that. So they didn't randomly just hear [it and go], 'He's got a deep voice now.' It was gradual. They didn't realize it that much. It just kind of happened. The tone is still the same. It's just deeper and sexier."</P><P>In the end, while it may seem like he's taking a cut from another pop star named <a href="/news/articles/1682090/justin-bieber-justin-timberlake-maturity.jhtml">Justin</a>, Bieber is actually focused on following yet another megastar's template for success.</P><P>"He's growing and so is his music," Braun said. "And I don't think he's transitioning and losing any fans. I think he's just growing. We always study Michael Jackson and the thing I loved about his career is he never lost that 2-year-old that bounced to his music. But at the same time, you'd go to a club and there were adults bouncing also. And I think that's what we want to do with Justin."</P><P><b>Don't miss "Bieber Live" on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
