Konsertanmeldelse: Justin Bieber – VG

the Singing (sometimes), dancing “millenial” looking for their “purpose” and their “why”.

CONCERT Justin Bieber

LOCATION: Telenor Arena, Bærum

AUDIENCE: 23.000 (full)

CURRENT ALBUM: “Purpose”

As a veteran of five – or was it six concerts in 2012/2013, it is fun to hear it again:

The infernal cry which endorse Justin Biebers decision to set up on the scene. Even to be punctual.

It sounds, admittedly, a little different than in the residue of hardness. Four years older, and clearly more gutterøster now than then.

So then, is Bieber a other artist, influenced by the enormous growing pains. He stands and sings in a pleksiglassbur, to truly feed us the “catch of the berømmelsens prison”-the theme in with a teaspoon.

Can still jump

Dog. The most skadefro and the hilarious reports from abroad, about a halvdød young man on the stage, turns out to be considerably exaggerated.

indeed It is clearly the smaller of kick in guttungen now than four years ago. Her gait has been leisurely, and he often use this opportunity to on his rounds of the stage.

So the band should have played the ur-boring R&B-muzak, and he – well, who knows what he’s doing behind there. Replacing the T-shirt he does only once, as far as I register.

But he can still jump up and down with the best, and hangs dutifully in the easier parts of the dansekoreografien.

singing is something he often deals with, and he is certainly not anxious to be caught. Fair enough. Who really cares?

He coughs and hawking when he talks to us, and take the constant shock of a bottle of Imsdal (fill in your own water-on-scenegulvet-joke here!).

At one point, after having tried to spank hands in front of scenetungen, exhorts us: “I’d rather look you in the eye, than that you see me through a mobile phone”.

You are the world.

do not Look happy

It is precisely his eyes as the clearest hint of that Bieber is a young man with a burgeoning self-loathing. They are dull, heavy, dark.

physically hang him with in the turns – he takes even a backflip during the “Good Company” (color me impressed).

But he really looks not happy. Or maybe he just is stone. Canadieren have the made american of for the longest time, and there smokes all the constantly.

Ungguttsmilet has been replaced by a certain morskhet in the face, but he guards himself, to give more tangible expression that he really would have been a totally different place.

Except possibly in the version of Tracy Chapmans “Fast Car”, performed on acoustic guitar in a sofa. It is a song about dreaming of getting away, as quickly as possible, from the circumstances of life one is in. He sings it “live” with real enthusiasm.

You should see it is this kind of soft acoustic R&B, type John Mayer and Ed Sheeran, he really wants to do when he becomes an adult.

Significant boring

the Show suffered serious longører and moments of deep boredom both for him and us.

the Artist stands on several occasions long in the spotlight, with her back facing towards the audience, before he turns and gives motivasjonstaler about “my journey” and how he has “grown”.

taking in to feel sorry for him. No one can live a life like Justin Biebers and come from it with mental health intact.

It was boring than the last time he was here – really significantly boring.

But it was a smoothly conducted halvslapt popshow, fairly, professionally performed by a livstrett artist.

More than so one can hardly be required at this point in the surely difficult “journey” of his.
