Viewing Notes

Does a great job of making Bieber likable which is fine by me, it makes for a fun watch. I still hold that the kid has talent as evidenced by the scene here in which Bieber and Rodney Jerkins build a song from a beat. It’s a really great moment and one of the few that feel completely organic. The concert footage is pretty awesome and even though I’m not really into Bieber music, it made me wish I was there just for the spectacle. There is one tear-jerking section that is very, very sweet but it’s dragged out beyond maximum effect.
