STM World Premiere: Somebody To Love - Justin Bieber featuring Usher

Last week, STM brought you the behind-the-scenes look of  Justin Bieber's new video for his latest single, "Somebody To Love". Now, this has got to be an exciting day for all 'Bieliebers' coz we finally get to witness the premiere of Justin's newest video, in full HD glory! The music video premiered last night on the hit TV show, 'So You Think You Can Dance' and features Usher and bad ass dance groups from the said show.

The video for "Somebody To Love" was directed by the great American music video director, Dave Meyers who also directed Britney Spears' "Lucky" and P!nk's "Don't Let Me Get Me", to name a few. 

I dare say that this clip has got to be Justin Bieber's best music video so far in his career. I'm actually amazed at how Meyer treated this video. Bad ass dancing and pure epicness throughout! He really did an amazing job on the effects. The choregraphy is also nothing but bad ass. The fact that the video featured different dance groups in every scene made it entertaining to watch coz we got to see Justin Bieber's different sides. On one scene, we get to see school boy Justin with his signature cap and monster beats headphones, on  another, he's on fire  with Usher. And the best part? Justin himself danced in this clip and showed us his swagger. I'm sure a lot of his fans were thrilled to finally see him dance his butt off on a music video coz honestly, that is what's missing with this boy. He's got the complete package but he doesn't dance. I guess he finally listened to his fans and finally gave us more than what we're expecting from him. Enjoy the video after the break!

STM Teaser: Somebody To Love - Justin Bieber featuring Usher

Fans are on for a treat as Justin Bieber releases his new single "Somebody To Love" off his platinum-selling album, "My World 2.0". This time, the track was remixed to feature his mentor, Usher. The result was amazing, giving the song a more bad ass feel!

Below, we have the behind-the-scenes video for "Somebody To Love". I'm not going to make this intro any longer coz this boy needs no further introduction. One thing I can say though is that, from the looks of it, fans are going to enjoy this video a lot!

STM World Premiere: Justin Bieber - Never Let You Go

Here we have the video for Justin Bieber's second single off "My World 2.0" entitled "Never Let You Go". I actually LOVE this song. Something I honestly think Bieber should be singing more of. This is one of the best tracks off "2.0", as I mentioned on the album review i did for "My World 2.0".

The video was shot by director Colin Tilley while Bieber was at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Actress Paige Hurd portrays Bieber's love interest in the video.

It actually took a few listens before I started to like the songs on this album. I like it  as a whole but I'm not hooked, to be completely honest. Too bad coz I was too excited for this album. Comparing 'My World 2.0' to it's predecessor "My World - EP', I would say that the first one is a better listen. 'My World - EP' contains more radio-friendly songs than '2.0'. I guess Bieber's album production team tried too hard to make him sound "mature" enough on this effort so they decided to included less of the "poppy" songs, in the end the album didn't turn out to be as solid as Bieber's previous effort. How I wish Bieber just stuck to the Pop-RNB formula of 'One Time', 'One Less Lonely Girl' and 'Baby' coz a lot of his fans are still enjoying that kind of sound from him. Nonetheless, '2.0' contains a number of good songs including the first single 'Baby', 'Never Let You Go' and the Benny Blanco-produced 'Eenie Meenie' which features Sean Kingston. Plus the fact that Bieber's voice sounds fantastic on this one. Maybe that's where 'My World 2.0' is better compared 'My World - EP'.

REPEAT: Baby (featuring Ludacris), Never Let You Go, Eenie Meenie

SKIP: That Should Be Me, U Smile

STM Spotlight: Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber (that surname pronounced as BEE-bər). This 15-year-old boy from Canada is currently taking the US (and the world) by storm. Thanks to millions of YouTube fans and an army of adolescent devotees. Sure, there’s also a number of people who dislike the boy. Some would even comment about his looks. But admit it or not, Bieber’s the name to beat (at least in today’s teen pop arena). To the words of his mentor, Usher, “He had all the nuance of a classic artist,” “He had swagger. And most important, he had talent.”

Not really a hardcore fan of this boy but I must admit, I’m starting to appreciate his kind of music. I can’t help but remember the time when I was hooked on Aaron Carter during his teens. I actually think Bieber and Carter have the same makings/characteristics of a successful pop star. The only difference is that Bieber’s music is more on the Pop-RnB genre while Carter’s music is more on the Pop-Rap category. But both have the looks, the fans and most importantly, the talent.

OK, back to Mr. Bieber. If you’re into Twitter, I guess you also noticed that this guy is almost always a trending topic. That alone is proof that this teen heartthrob has lots of fans (all over the world). Check his official YouTube account and you’ll be amazed that his debut video “One Time” already has 47,936,685 views (as of this writing).

Since his US debut, Bieber has already released two (2) official singles off his debut EP, “My World”: “One Time” and “One Less Lonely Girl”, which peaked at numbers 20 and 16, respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Two digital singles off the same EP were also released, “Love Me” (which is my favorite!) and “Favorite Girl”, which peaked at numbers 27 and 26 in the US, respectively.

Bieber’s getting ready to release the follow-up to his platinum-selling EP, “My World” (975,000 units sold to date in the US). On March 23, 2010, his fans will finally be able to listen to JB’s new materials via “My World 2.0”. His first single off “2.0”, the song “Baby” which features rapper Ludacris, has already peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Mr. Bieber his highest peak to date. The second single off “2.0” was released on March 2^nd. The song “Never Let You Go” was written/produced by power producers Johnta Austin and Bryan-Michael Cox.
