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.
