Bieber Spotlights His Grown-Up Side In Flashy New Video
Singer Justin Bieber performs at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California July 22, 2012. |
LOS ANGELES,August 2(Reuters) - Bieber, 18, recruited gritty actor Michael Madsen, best known for his roles in "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs," to play the disapproving father of Bieber's love interest in the slick music video, which runs nearly six minutes.
In the video, which debuted online on Wednesday, Bieber plays a star-crossed lover. It features car chases, fights, raunchy dancers and steamy romance set against the Los Angeles skyline, all part of a plan to transition the singer from teeny bopper to adult artist.
Bieber fans, known as 'Beliebers,' praised him on social media websites for showing his darker side and fighting for love. Kaylie @StrongForJustin tweeted, "The whole ALAYLM video was amazing. It shows how if you really love someone, you would fight for them. There's a lot of meaning."
Bieber rose to fame as a baby-faced pop star on YouTube, singing innocent love songs such as "Baby" and "One Less Lonely Girl." In the past year, he has grown under the watchful eye of the public and is dating Disney actress and singer Selena Gomez.
The new electro-pop "As Long As You Love Me", not to be confused with the Backstreet Boys song with the same title, features rapper Big Sean and is the second single from his latest album "Believe."
Bieber unveiled his new image in the video for the first single from the album, "Boyfriend," which saw him cavorting with dancers and driving fast cars. The video earned a nomination for best male video, and the winner will be announced at the MTV Video Music awards in September. |

Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting.

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads "Sandy Bigelow Patterson"....and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
Cast: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet
