It’s November, which apparently means Christmas is near, at least to teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. “Under the Mistletoe” definitely has a holiday vibe with its wide range of artists joining the Biebs to spread holiday cheer. Throw out your wrapping paper- Justin’s got rapping for you instead.
In the track “Drummer Boy,” Busta Rhymes somehow manages to throw in a shout out to all their “Twitter followers,” wishing them a “happy Hanukkah.” Mazel tov, followers! Some will simply find pleasure in the CD itself, while I am delighted over the fact he has finally entered puberty. After hearing the first few songs, I knew all hope was lost. I won’t lie though, his cover of “Silent Night” was a pleasant break from the overused autotune, obnoxious beats and overdone vocal production. It made me want to go cuddle with Santa Claus or something beautiful.
It’s nice to know Bieber at least has a decent voice; I can’t bash that. But I do find it surprising how one moment I hear little Bieber voice, then comes I’m-a-big-kid-now Bieber voice. One thing I find enjoyable is Bieber’s personal connection to the listener in the song “Mistletoe.” The moment he sings “shawty,” I melt. Oh, Bieber, what a lyrical genius you are- end of sarcasm. To all “Beliebers” out there, this is a wonderful stocking stuffer which can accompany that lump of coal you’ve always dreamed of.
