As a 23-year-old guy, I would not be considered in the core demographic of Justin Bieber's fanbase. And to be clear, I am not necessarily a fan. But neither am I a hater and dislike him either (I am neutral). As the Bieber Guy, I will explore the Justin Bieber phenomenon and understand why he may have lasting power in the biz.

Justin continues his media tour to promote Under The Mistletoe today (November 1) when he appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dancing with the Stars, and Chelsea Lately. Head over to Bieber Guy's TV Appearances page for specific times and channels.
We've already been able to listen to a few of the songs off of Justin Bieber's Christmas album, Under The Mistletoe, in stores tomorrow (Tuesday November 1): "Mistletoe," "The Christmas Song," and "Christmas Eve." Now, how about listening to the album itself?
AOL Music has the Under The Mistletoe songs up on their website. But from the looks of it, it doesn't look like they have all of the songs up and they're not in the correct track order as you'll hear on the album. Not sure why. But at least we get to listen to most of the tracks, right?
I tried embedding the tracks into this article, but it kept embedding the same song over and over again. At least I tried. But click HERE to go to AOL Music and listen to the songs.
Here's the songs featured over there: "Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas,"Home This Christmas" Feat. The Band Perry, "Fa La La" Feat. Boyz II Men, "Christmas Eve," "Little Drummer Boy," Feat. Busta Rhymes, "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)" Feat. Usher, "All I Want Is You," "All I Want For Christmas Is You" Feat. Mariah Carey, "Mistletoe," and "Silent Night."
'A Very Bieber Christmas' will begin at the end of November here at Bieber Guy.
Under The Mistletoe will be released tomorrow, November 1, and is available to pre-order online in both standard, CD/DVD Deluxe, and CD/DVD Box Set editions, To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE).
We've already been able to listen to "Mistletoe" and "The Christmas Song" from Under The Mistletoe. Now, we've got a first listen for Justin Bieber's "Christmas Eve."
Check it out here:
There was a YouTube audio clip of Justin's rendition of "Drummer Boy" with Busta Rhymes, but has been taken down (were they forced to take it down?). So I guess you should hurry up and listen to "Christmas Eve" above before that's taken down as well.
Under The Mistletoe will be released on November 1 and is available to pre-order online in both standard, CD/DVD Deluxe, and CD/DVD Box Set editions. To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE).
The other day we got a sneak peek of the song when a video was released of the duo in the recording studio. And now we've got the premiere of Justin Bieber's second Christmas single, a duet with Usher on "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)."
Here's your first listen of the song:
What'd you think of this second single? Is it just as good as "Mistletoe"? Better? Worse? I'm looking forward to reviewing it in December as part of 'A Very Bieber Christmas' here on Bieber Guy.
The song is not yet available to download on Amazon yet. But when it is, it will be added to the Bieber Guy STORE and tweeted out to all of you.
"The Christmas Song" will be featured on Bieber's upcoming Under The Mistletoe, which will be released on November 1 and is available to pre-order online in both standard and CD/DVD Deluxe editions. To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the T.W.O. STORE).
At the start of this past week, "Mistletoe" was released. And now Beliebers everywhere will have another early Christmas gift a week later when another song from Justin Bieber's Under The Mistletoe will premiere. And it involves a certain someone named Usher. Never heard of him; he must be a newcomer....Kidding.
On Monday, October 24 at 10am ET/7am PT, Usher will be on On Air with Ryan Seacrest to premiere his and Justin's duet, "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)." You can listen to it live right HERE.
Even though that premiere is less than 48 hours away, I bet you can't even wait that long for a listen. So check out the below video to see Justin and Usher in the studio recording and mixing the song:
After listening to "Mistletoe" and watching this video, I'm trying to figure out when his voice changed and got so low. I guess it shows that I'm still back with My World and My World 2.0 (since that's where I am in the Bieber Guy Reviews).
Both "Mistletoe" and "The Christmas Song" (feat. Usher) will be featured on Bieber's upcoming Under The Mistletoe, which will be released on November 1 and is available to pre-order online in both standard and CD/DVD Deluxe editions. To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE).
The song was released the other day. And now, Justin Bieber has now premiered the music video for his Christmas single, "Mistletoe."
Check it out below:
"Mistletoe" is now available to download as an MP3 single. To buy your own copy, click on the Amazon product link at the end of this post.

One of the other songs to be featured on Under The Mistletoe will also receive a music video. "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" will be attached to the upcoming film, Arthur Christmas.
Yesterday, we were able to listen to Justin Bieber's Christmas single, "Mistletoe." Today, we'll be getting the music video for that song. And now there'll be another video for one of his upcoming holiday songs.
Bieber's rendition of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" will be attached to the upcoming animated holiday film, Arthur Christmas. When you go to see the film in theaters, the music video for the song will play right before the start of the film and will incorporate footage from the movie. Then, the song will be heard during the end credits.
So what's Arthur Christmas about, you ask? Here's what the Examiner says:
"The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas ... at last reveals the incredible, never-before-seen answer to every child's question: "So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?" The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas - a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa's youngest son, Arthur. When this amazing operation misses one child out of hundreds of millions, the least capable Claus embarks on a hilarious, exciting rogue mission against the clock to deliver the last present before Christmas morning dawns."
I wasn't aware of this movie before now. So maybe having Justin on board will bring attention to the film and possible cause it to go to number one at the box office? I guess we'll have to just wait and see.
Does a Justin Bieber music video and song included persuade you to go see it in theaters?
Arthur Christmas will premiere in theaters on November 23.
And "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" will be featured on Bieber's upcoming Under the Mistletoe, which will be released on November 1 and is available to pre-order online in both standard and CD/DVD Deluxe Editions. To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE).
"Mistletoe" is now available to buy and download as an MP3 single. Below is the product link for that as well.
Over a week ago, I posted a video of Justin performing "Mistletoe" live in concert. Now we are able to listen to the studio track itself (meaning, sans girls screaming in the crowd) of Justin Bieber's Christmas single, "Mistletoe."
You can listen to "Mistletoe" right here:
So what'd you guys think? Do you love it? I'm not sure when, but I will be reviewing "Mistletoe" and the entire album, Under The Mistletoe, eventually. I'm still deciding if I'm going to wait until December or not. So stay tuned to Twitter for that.
The music video for "Mistletoe" will premiere tomorrow, October 18. And the track will be available for download in the Bieber Guy STORE (via Amazon) tomorrow as well.
Under The Mistletoe will be released on November 1, and is available to pre-order online in both standard and CD/DVD Deluxe editions. To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE).

The other day, I reported that Justin's Under The Mistletoe single will be "Mistletoe," which would be released on October 18. We're two and a half weeks before that release, but at a recent concert stop, Justin performed "Mistletoe" live for the first time, which means we're getting our very first listen ever of the song.
Check out the video below: Even though we've now got our first listen at this song, I won't be doing a Bieber Guy Review of it until sometime after it officially is released as a single.
What'd you all think of the song? A great single? Disappointed? Leave your comments below.

We've got a few big pieces of news regarding Justin Bieber's upcoming holiday album, Under The Mistletoe. First, here's the tracklist for the disc, including the Deluxe Edition tracks:
1. Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas
2. Mistletoe
3. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) [Feat. Usher]
4. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
5. Fa La La [Feat. Boyz II Men]
6. Christmas Love
7. All I Want For Christmas Is You [Feat. Mariah Carey]
8. Drummer Boy [Feat. Busta Rhymes]
9. All I Want Is You
10. Fa La La (a capella)[Feat. Boys II Men](Deluxe Edition)
11. Christmas Eve
12. Home This Christmas [Feat. The Band Perry]
13. Silent Night (Deluxe Edition)
14. Pray (Deluxe Edition)
15. Someday At Christmas (Deluxe Edition)
We already knew that Usher, Boyz II Men, and Mariah Carey were going to be included. But as we can see from this tracklist, Busta Rhymes and The Band Perry will also be featured as well.
The first thing I noticed when looking over this tracklist was some familiar songs we all know. I guess Scooter Braun must have jumped the gun early last month when he tweeted that all the songs would be original: "this christmas album is amazing. might be the best album yet. all originals...soon 2 b classics. every1 i play it 4 is blown away" (bold my emphasis). But not to fret; it does look like most of the songs are still originals, though.
I've been wondering lately when a single would be released. In a way, it's tricky because this is a holiday album, and that means a single would have to be released just outside of the main holiday time frame.
And Billboard announced that the single will be "Mistletoe," to be released on October 18 (that's before Halloween!)
As mentioned, there will be two versions of the album. The CD/DVD Deluxe Edition will include all of the above songs, plus the video for "Pray." As we all know, "Pray" is a song Bieber released on a previous release.
Under The Mistletoe will be released on November 1, and is available to pre-order online in both standard and CD/DVD Deluxe editions. To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE).
We already know that Boyz II Men and Usher will collaborate with Justin on his upcoming Christmas album, Under The Mistletoe. Now we have word of another duet, this one with none other than Mariah Carey! One of Justin's dancers tweeted this: ":) RT @justinbieber @mariahcarey HONORED." As JustinBieberZone said, he followed up with this: "had to tweet that cause apparently people didnt believe me. haha justin bieber featuring mariah carey. believe it."
Boyz II Men will be great because Justin has looked up to them all his life. And Usher is a special one since he is Justin's mentor. But Mariah Carey is a big get for the album, since she's one of the best singers in the world, with one of the greatest vocal ranges ever.
Under The Mistletoe will be released on November 1, and is now available to pre-order online in both standard and CD/DVD Deluxe versions. To pre-order a copy, below are the Amazon product links (or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE).
There's been a lot of news lately surrounding Justin Bieber's upcoming holiday album. Justin confirmed that both Boyz II Men and Usher will duet with him. Then we got a release date of November 1, only a month away.
Now, we have two more news items. First, the album will be called Under The Mistletoe!
And even better, the cover art has been released. It shows Justin facing slightly to the side, while looking straight into the camera. He's wearing a black leather jacket, and snowflakes are all around him. And his name is very sparkly, don't you think?
Check out the cover art below:
Under The Mistletoe is now available to pre-order online. There will be two versions: a standard version, and a CD/DVD Deluxe Edition. To pre-order a copy (or two or three) for yourself, below are the Amazon product links, or pre-order them directly from the Bieber Guy STORE.
This is the news Bieber fans have all been waiting for. Just has confirmed via Twitter when his much-anticipated Christmas album will be in stores, saying simply: "#nov1st". The as yet untitled album will be released November 1! That's only a month away!
And that's not all. Justin also tweeted that he's collaborating with Usher on one of the songs!
"just finished a late nt in the studio for the christmas album...it is OFFICIAL...my big bro @UsherRaymondIV is on the album with me! #EPIC"
We already know that he's collaborating with Boyz II Men on the album (and possible Taylor Swift, though we don't know if that's for this album or a future one). Now we've got confirmation on Usher, his mentor. And we also know all the songs will be originals.
I wonder how many duets there will be? Every song, or just a few? I guess we'll have to wait for the tracklist to come out.
I previously reported here on Bieber Guy that Justin Bieber was in the studio working on a Christmas album. Then, a couple of weeks ago, Bieber's manager Scooter Braun tweeted that said album would feature all original songs: "this christmas album is amazing. might be the best album yet. all originals...soon 2 b classics. every1 i play it 4 is blown away."
Now we've discovered that there will be a very special collaboration on the Christmas album. And no, it's not Taylor Swift. Or, at least, a collaboration like that hasn't been confirmed just yet. No, this particular duet is none other than Boyz II Men! Bieber looked up to this group growing up, and now they're making music together.
Bieber announced the collaboration via Twitter: "2day i woke up and realised that the group that made me want to sing @BoyzIIMen are now on the christmas album singing with me (sic),i used 2 listen to their music and practice the runs. that is how i learned how to sing. now im in the studio with them making music 2gether."
Is this the only guest artist or band that will be featured on the holiday release? We'll just have to wait and see. And by the way, some of the proceeds from the album will go to charity.

As Bieber Guy previously reported, Justin Bieber is currently in the studio working on his Christmas album, due to be released at the end of the year in time for the holidays.
It looks like we won't be hearing him sing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)," or even "Silver Bells." We've received word today that the holiday album will consist of all new original songs. That's right Beliebers! Every single song will be brand-new. And I'm sure they'll have the Bieber touch to them, for sure.
Bieber's manager Scooter Braun first revealed this bit of scoop on Twitter: "this christmas album is amazing. might be the best album yet. all originals...soon 2 b classics. every1 i play it 4 is blown away."
Is anyone disappointed that he won't be covering any traditional holiday songs? Or excited that it'll be brand-new material? Should it be a mix of old and new?
Also, according to EW, Bieber has been in the studio with Taylor Swift. We know that those two have written a song together. Could this song possibly be for the Christmas album? And are you excited that Swift might be featured on the CD?
Justin Bieber already has released an EP, a debut album, an acoustic album, and remixes. If you think a follow-up to My World 2.0 will be next, think again. According to E! Online, Bieber is currently in the studio working on a Christmas album, set to be released later this year.
On Twitter, Bieber has been requesting suggestions for album titles. Some of his fans have been sending him funny responses, including "Santa's comin Just(in) Time!"
Also on Twitter, Bieber has revealed that money from the holiday album will go to charity. No word yet on what charity or how much from each unit sold will go towards it.
Here at Bieber Guy, I now know what I'll be reviewing come December!
