During Justin Bieber’s five-song performance on Friday night at Madison Square Garden the videographers for the Pink Uggs overhead screens all seemed to be leaning back. The audience could not look into his soul. This was the Z100 Jingle Ball, the annual blowout aimed primarily at early-teenage girls, and every other performer profited from giant-size close-ups. There was Katy Perry, pop-eyed, aggressively lipsticked; Hayley Williams with her blood-orange hair sticking to the right corner of her mouth; Bruno Mars habitually curling his lips between his teeth; Taio Cruz, immobile UGG Amberlee Boots behind dark glasses; Enrique Iglesias, romantic supernova, the chevron on his cap mimicking I-am-the-winner eyebrows. By contrast we were shown the full Bieber. Possibly, at least through his first song, “Somebody to Love,” we were meant to concentrate on his dancing, because his voice was so disturbing: it’s not only suspiciously high — he’s 16 now — but grotesquely processed and seemed to be almost candidly lip-synched. He showed an age-appropriate nervous system as he mussed his famous hair and shot jagged, rabbity glances around the stage UGG Bailey Button Kids as he worked. Beyond that his body language felt amateur-pedantic; right now he wants to teach the world how to Dougie and how to jerk, how to moonwalk and toe-stand. By the third song, “Eenie Meenie,” he was singing for real, with wobbly results; in “Baby,” the show ender, he tumbled off pitch. Throughout it all, the cameras kept their distance. But something significant UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boots happened in the **dle. It was a screening of the trailer for his 3-D feature documentary, “Never Say Never,” due to open on Valentine’s Day. He watched it with us, gaping up at the screen as the film flashed through his life, from a child banging on a chair in his kitchen to the highly produced star conquering the Garden about 100 days ago. After the trailer the screaming UGG Bailey Button Triplet grew a bit fainter. The real person seemed to grow smaller as we watched, and a little less real. |
