Performing at the BBMAs, I wonder if he'll perform Company or an 'older' song

Justin showed up at Drake's release party in Toronto sans any of the joke hair he's been rocking all era.

With radio and streaming dead already - i wonder if the BBMA-effect sales will be enough to give this a new peak... or if it'll be too far gone by then to push it into the top 50? Unless he really nails the performance and it creates buzz - I doubt it'll get new peak. Thoughts?

R.I.P. Purpose era. Seems promotion of further singles is over and he's now back in the press for all the wrong reasons. It was a MASSIVE but it sure came and went quickly.

Love Yourself happened near simultaneously with Sorry since it exploded right upon release which makes it seem like it happened a while back even though it just left the top spot on the airplay chart. If you take the launch of WDYM and California Gurls and lay out the months, I think that'd put us at some point during Firework's run at the top right now.

Wasn't Jesus supposed to see him through to the higher path according to his press releases though?

I don't think his post is unreasonable, but as usual it's the douchey delivery that's problematic. I think running up to someone to take a picture of them IS treating them like a zoo animal and is quite rude in any situation. "You got what you paid for AN ALBUM" though

Justin was seen wandering around Boston Common with no shoes, feeding squirrels. What a kook! I mean...better the Common, which is quite clean, than Central Park.

I just.. I kind of get the selfies thing, but the least he could've done is pretended he cared about the gift and then thrown it out later. He looked so annoyed when those people are the reason he is no longer making YouTube videos of him singing and is instead getting three consecutive singles to #1 and having more money than probably everyone on this site combined, even if they are just "getting what they paid for". Whether he wants to accept it or not, he is a huge influence on a lot of people's lives, as are a lot of celebrities have been for decades, he isn't a special case. That fan must feel so bad now because he just couldn't hold a gift for a few minutes lol.

This boy needs to take a long break. He clearly doesn't give two shits about his fans or his image.

@ everything about that...from his facial expression to the way he cavalierly chucked it out the window, to the fact that the girls are still sipping the Kool-Aid IMMEDIATELY after. LOLOL.

Justin Bieber's success truly makes me believe karma is nothing but a myth.

Well, Justin, that's what happens when you're a popular singer. SMH

Justin Bieber, Skrillex Sued Over 'Sorry' Hook"Like most artists that sample music, Bieber could have licensed my song for use in 'Sorry,'" Casey Dienel, who performs as White Hinterland, writes. "But he chose not to contact me" BY DANIEL KREPS May 27, 2016 Casey Dienel, an indie artist who records under the moniker White Hinterland, has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Justin Bieber, alleging that the singer's hit "Sorry" borrows heavily from her 2014 track "Ring the Bell." "As many of you that follow my career and work have already recognized, Justin Bieber's song 'Sorry' copies the vocal riff prominently featured in my song 'Ring the Bell,'" Dienel wrote on Facebook. "The writers, producers and performers of 'Sorry' did not obtain a license for this exploitation of my work, nor did they obtain or seek my permission. Yesterday afternoon, I filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement against Justin Bieber and the other responsible parties." The lawsuit, which names Bieber as well as producer Skrillex, focuses on the opening vocal melody of both tracks. "Like most artists that sample music, Bieber could have licensed my song for use in 'Sorry.' But he chose not to contact me," Dienel continued. "After the release of 'Sorry,' my lawyers sent Bieber a letter regarding the infringement, but Bieber’s team again chose to ignore me." Dienel added that she was left with "no other option" but to file a lawsuit in order to "stand up for my music and art." The suit lists the similarities between "Sorry" and "Ring the Bell." According to TMZ, the lawsuit accuses "Sorry" of stealing eight seconds of "Ring the Bell" and looping it six times, and notes that both songs are constructed around keyboard synthesizers, samples, synth bass, drums and percussion. "The identical and/or striking similarity of 'Sorry' to Plaintiff's song 'Ring the Bell' surpasses the realm of generic coincidence and independent creation," the lawsuit states. Bieber and Skrillex have not responded publicly to White Hinterland's lawsuit. It's unclear how much Dienel is seeking in the suit. "Creating original and unique music is my life's passion, but it is challenging and time-consuming," Dienel wrote. "I poured my blood, sweat and tears into writing and producing 'Ring the Bell,' and I am proud of the finished product, which Rolling Stone listed as one of its 'favorite songs, albums, and videos.' Throughout my career, I have worked very hard to preserve my independence and creative control, thus it came as a shock to hear my work used and exploited without permission." I listened to the track and the sample is uncanny as all hell. Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter, Soony Moore, and Michael Tucker are also supposed to be named on the lawsuit. The Beliebers have lost their mind and bombarded the video with over 6K dislikes on YouTube. Now I see why he wants very limited contact with them.

The video was released over 2 years ago and had only accumulated just over 500K views. In the last 24 hours it has increased to over 1.3 million. The Beliebers don't realize that they are only allowing her to gain popularity even with 13K dislikes in that same 24 hour timeframe. Pitchfork, NME, Rolling Stone, Pop Matters, and other major music sites had reviewed the album when it was released so the girl was in the view sight of majors. I'm perched to see how this goes whether truth or not.

From what Justin's production team has been saying, it points heavily to the hook actually being stolen.To me they sound exactly alike, but then again people say Justin can hit high notes, right?
Either way, his team seems to be pointing fingers at others within the team& if I'm correct, they knew who her& the song was before making Sorry
