First comment🙂 a lot of respect to this talented young boy🙌
First.
Was he drunk?
So many ppl criticizing his performances. I honestly think it was symbolic. It was therapeutic.
This video is amazing I did not expect it to be this good.
I love the song by JT but JB seems so impressive as a 13 year old. Tha seems nice but glad that JT is totally ok with JB’s cover.
The production quality is really helpful I will definitely recommend this.
He hasn’t showered
I've always wondered, if he would have signed with JT instead of Usher and not been exposed to Sean Combs, would his professional and personal journey been more stable and safe?
Justin's Back !!!!
We Love You Justin.
You were the voice of a whole decade !!
Welcome Back !! We Missed You.
Thank You !!
God Bless You And Your Family.
I WE HATES HOWIE M
If Justin would’ve gone with JT I think things would’ve been different, JT knows a little bit about being taken advantage of during his days in NSYNC and I think he would’ve taken better care of Justin in his early days
wow, l remember Justine playing that big guitar, in Stratford, my home town, sitting on the steps of the Stratford theater, also his home town, he was great even back then, he was soooo young and fearless…..😌😘
Whatever anyone say ..The industry cannot ruin him because they cannot take away this guys talented ,this guy voice and his passion for music.He has a purpose,a purpose to serve the music to rest of the world and he accomplished it.Music is his life.You can take away everything but you can't take away a person's knowledge.He is truely god gifted.I never believe in worshipping celebrities but as a human being i genuinely have empathy for him.He is an incredible artist of 21st generation.
Ironic he sang JT’s Cry me a River at 13 years old. And now Justin sings it once again but to JT reflecting on the meaning of the lyrics. Crazy full circle moment.
This tutorial is well made It deserves more views.
The way you present is exactly what I needed I will definitely recommend this.
Imagine if Timberlake duets with the young bieber video.
you know you’re old when you remember watching those kidrauhl vids on youtube 😂😂
Well, I'm glad to see some of you admit that Bieber was better off with JT, and I am also glad that no 1 is cussing JT out as usual. Whether you like it or not, JT is a good man, and he would have protected Bieber better than Usher ever did
What beautiful moments between such SUPER TALENTED men❤❤❤❤❤…
Justin and Justin😎
I think Justin always look up to other🤷🏿♂️
Bruh, some people suck if they wanted something different. This was genius. More intimate session with him. Like just you and him in the garage hanging out. You seeing and hearing him. Love it.
The idea is top notch This deserves recognition.
Love both Justin’s❤💃😁
That was when diddy got him
JT and Usher were in a bidding war to who could sign Bieber. Imagine if Bieber signed with Timberlake instead of Usher… maybe he wouldn't have gone through what he did. Although, it's hard to say – because obviously Scooter was his manager and was responsible for his welfare. But JT for sure wouldn't have left JB with P. Diddler.
Now, I think it's about time for a TimBieberlake collab!!!!!
Love both Justin's.
Always loved his voice..
I think it is so sweet to sing with his younger self.
I loved what he did at the Grammy’s and Coachella. I’m not even a fan
One King acknowledging another King 😊❤❤❤
So I sat in a room in Ny watching the video as a young kid give head on camerA, we are sheet metal apprentices but older then the rest one kid lost his job for speaking up for you ,help us with your fame we all saw you bending down after that I don't even know his name but they played that video you as kid in our apprenticeship class in smart 38 like it didn't still hurt you
All I am saying why is everyone ignoring a had to sit through your a child
