Given that this video has been viewed 125 million times in the last month and a half, there’s a good chance you’ve seen this video. Somehow I missed it until last night, though.
I’m not the biggest Justin Bieber fan. In fact, I’m decidedly an un-fan of the Canadian pop star. Mostly, I’m just not a fan of the singer himself and rather just dismiss the music as a result of that. However, this song and the accompanying video has made me take a second look at him.
Obviously, my favorite part of the video are the dancers themselves. The two dancers, guest choreographers for So You Think You Can Dance on Fox, are a married couple that live in San Diego named Mariel and Keone Madrid.
My favorite moment of the video is at the refrigerator when Keone suddenly pops up in front of the camera. But I just love how they are dancing about, but acting like that is their normal life.
However, I can’t say that I’m a big fan of the ending of the video that is in black and white and out of focus. I feel like it should have ended when it cut to black, or alternatively should have shown her pick up the piece of paper but not shown what it said. I feel like the ending spoon-feeds the audience as it is.
But I have to admit that the song is actually quite good.

I’m not much into music unless it is the oldies (50’s, 60’s 70’s) so even if I happen to hear this guy sing I probably would not know it was him! I guess I’d better go watch this video—-
Both my sons have come full circle on Justin Bieber, he has really managed to turn himself around and they are really enjoying his music and video’s of course!
I have to say that I’m an ‘un-fan’ of Justin Bieber too, although his new song ‘Sorry’ is too catchy for me to not sing. I actually haven’t seen this video but how cool that they used a real life couple for it.
What an interesting video. I haven’t been the biggest fan of Bieber in the past but now I feel that I may have unjustly looked him over.
I have to admit that I’m not much of a fan, either. But I will watch the video and I’m so glad he seems to be turning himself around. I’m sure it’s difficult to be young and wildly successful. So glad he’s finding his way.
i was NOT a fan prior to this album but i listened to it quite a few times and am really impressed with where he’s going musically.
I can’t believe this video has been seen so many times! I hadn’t seen this somehow. Thanks for sharing this video. My friend likes Justin Bieber so i”ll pass it on to her.
I’ve never been a Bieber fan but I like some of his songs. Not enough to purchase but to sing along with the radio.
I love the video, the concept is fresh and different. His music is maturing a bit.
I’m not a huge Justin Bieber fan either. But this video is really inspiring – love these two on SYTYCD!
I’m not a Beiber fan, but I love SYTYCD 🙂
I’m listening to this now, it’s the first time I’ve heard it. I’ve never been a big fan of his because of his attitude but he sounds great.
I had not seen this video until just now on your blog and I kinda like it. I have been rocking to JB’s album since it came out.
I know that there are a lot of people excited about this. I’m not really a follower, but I hope it’s a good one!
I hadn’t seen it before either, but that choreography is amazing. They are SUPER talented! I actually think I like that black and white ending though!
I am also not much of a Belieber but this is a pretty interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t seen this yet.
I haven’t seen this video before but I hear what you’re saying about why you like it. I’m a rock n roll girl and don’t think I ever heard a Justin Bieber song until a couple of months ago.
I haven’t seen this video yet, but I always hear songs of Justin Bieber. I guess the video’s really popular.
I always hate when a musician does things to make themselves really unlikable but then they end up being really talented. Justin Bieber totally falls into this category.
My Dad is an accountant and he says: Shop around when you are trying to
find the best prices on life insurance. Do not be afraid to evaluate your
current insurance, or add new insurance to
it at any time. Make sure when you are comparing prices, that you are also verifying the policies that are identical to one another.
Honestly, I haven’t seen or heard this JB song until today. It’s quite good!
I always read: For affordable life insurance, look for an employer that offers such a
benefit. The price of life insurance as a group is much
cheaper than for an individual: the price is determined in function of the
average risks in the group. You can also find a life
insurance through your union or alumni association.
I think when it comes to his music, he does bring in the crowds. His off-music act that turns away some people.
There is a few songs from him that I don’t mind listening too. It’s like you kinda love to hate him. Either way, there is more music out there that I wouldn’t listen to either.
I adore Justin. I saw him in concert in 2013 and am dying to see him again. My girls are obsessed with him too. He’s uber talented and regarding his “personal life” he was a kid. He had no role modles in his life as his mom and him had a falling out, and his dad? Well, I can’t even. I know someone who knows his mom and has explained some struggles, but hes really turned things around. Hes a talented kid and I’m so happy for all his success.
I’m not much of a fan but I’ve heard his songs lately and they sounds better than previous songs he ever did. Will check the video 🙂
I actually am starting to like Biebers music as he age. Only thing his public life needs to get straighten up otherwise I am rooting for him.
Bieber has had some cool dance videos for this new album. I also like the music video for “Sorry”. Those dance moves gave me quite a workout. lol
