<\/a><\/p>\nGrace comes via surprising channels.<\/p>\n
Apparently chastened pop star <\/a>Justin Bieber has just released a new video, a collaboration with producers Skrillex and Diplo.<\/p>\n Frames of Bieber were posted as photo stills at the Seventh Letter Gallery in Los Angeles, and fans and attendees at an event were invited to paint and draw over them. From a story<\/a> at The Verge<\/em>:<\/p>\n There are phone numbers, Twitter handles, and \u201cI love you Justin\u201ds to be found in its untold thousands of hand-drawn frames, as well as scattered Justin \/ Selena \u2018shipper bait and at least one (very generous) phallus drawn over Bieber\u2019s crotch. Stop-starting frame by frame through the video is a far more interesting timewaster than Justin\u2019s mealy mouthed lip-sync work \u2014 Biebs doesn\u2019t really do much in this video other than stand there and get drawn on, perhaps a metaphor for what happens when you become a universally recognized public figure and the rest of the world\u2019s interpretation of you is almost more real than your own personal experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The video was introduced on \u201cGood Morning America,\u201d with the 21-year-old singer weighing in from a week-long conference <\/a>of the Hillsong Pentecostal<\/a> megachurch community in Sydney, Australia.<\/p>\n #WhereAreUNowMusicVideo<\/a>: West coast, @justinbieber<\/a> has a message before the broadcast premiere.
