Ce gars est un tas de matière fécale
Gzzzzz village idiot people
More kpop needs to be at Coachella . BTS’s new stuff is amazing JUST B is amazing , &TEAM’s new stuff is fabulous , even BTS’s solo stuff is amazing . Chicken noodle soup amazing .
He is doing great after all his health issue's
Hilarious take from Katy Perry
I guess it’s better than using AI…. That’s about the only credit I can give him.
Yall hating. It was best show
It was a great show.
What bieber did at Coachella is a result again showing that he can do what he wants and people will accept it. Just like at the academy playing a set in his draws on stage. Give me a break and call him out and stop making excuses for him.
Then they turn around and say white male privilege doesn’t exist.🙄🙄🙄 They said he was the highest performer there too. Ridiculous. A bunch of excuses for him yet Women go through trauma everyday and we are EXPECTED to show up with a smile. Women are NOT given grace. And if ur black, u KNOW U WOULD NEVER get away with this. This was trash ESPECIALLY for the amount he was paid.
Divided means 1000 approved- vs 1 feminist who disagreed
6 mill not 10. Stop exaggerating
Smart. Spent maybe 1 million on the production and 9 million to the bank. Smart Man.
Page 6 is so forever ago. Who cares what you think lol
Theirs always a handful of people that get pleasure in breaking others down that man can never get positive feedback. How about minimal and intimate nostalgic but of course if you don’t dance or sing everything he’s getting called Lazy. People do better. Lack luster you pay to see a performance he gave just that. It was nice to see him smile.
I think had Bieber did his set before Sabrina Carpenter did her set, the reaction wouldn't be so polarizing. The performances of KatsEye and Carpenter set such a high standard during the first night that Bieber felt like a letdown.
Some people have a hard time with real quality time 🤷🏻♀️ they want that constant instant gratification
alot of ppl not realizing that he sold his catalog. he cant perform those songs without giving the label money for licensing. by playing them off youtube and not technically "performing" them he found a loophole to not pay the label. W independent artist.
