Riff: Justin Bieber – “Boyfriend”

Jan 2, 2013

I could be your Buzz Lightyear, fly across the globe

from Boyfriend lyrics by Justin Bieber

While Bieber subsists as a corporate-sponsored money-vacuum in families of suburban preteens, there’s no denying his singing, shining here. Still, the rapping falls flat in his G-rated take on “Drop it Like it’s Hot” or “Wait (The Whisper Song).” This isn’t the beat for family-friendly monogamy.
