Bieber strikes out! Justin's advances are spurned as he attempts to serenade girl
in new All That Matters video shot on the Great Wall Of China
|
He sings about wooing women and being a ladies' man, but in reality, not everyone's buying what Justin Bieber's selling.
This week, the 19-year-old debuted his latest Music Mondays release, All That Matters, which was greatly received by fans and soared instantly to number one on as many as 47 iTunes charts around the world and landed in the top five on many others.
The accompanying music video clip was shot on the Great Wall Of China at the end of September and features the singer busting his best dance moves atop one of the iconic Seven Wonders Of The World.

Spectacular backdrop: Justin Bieber premiered his new single, All That Matters, on Monday after filming the accompanying clip on the Great Wall Of China last month
Striking out! The 19-year-old tries his best to woo a pretty tourist as he dances up to her and serenades her in the video, but the giggling girl couldn't get out of there fast enough
He also attempts to serenade a young lady as he dances up to her, gyrating suggestively with his arm outstretched, though he strikes out and she giggles awkwardly as she backs away from the lothario quick smart.
The clip itself is certainly cringeworthy, with the star singing while sitting on a parked motorbike and riding in a cable car with his entourage, as well as cuddling up to a stranger's baby girl.
However, the song is a sweet balled that showcases the talented vocalist's range and his Usher-inspired dance moves.
'Woke up jetlagged and saw #AllThatMatters #1 in so many countries and top 5 in so many more! Thank u and Happy Canadian thanksgiving!!' he tweeted on Monday.
Enough, already! The Never Say Never singer doesn't give up easily, hounding the poor girl who's clearly not having any of it
Detracting from the good points, though, is Bieber's fashion sense - something the youngster might want to reconsider.
Baggy black pants, a white hoodie with Chinese dragon emblem and matching high-top sneakers are one thing, but the black leather presumably top that hung out the bottom of his jumper made it look as if Bieber was wearing a skirt.
Not a good look for someone who prides himself on his tattooed tough-guy persona.
A signature black Stussy baseball cap, big black sunglasses and several long, thick silver chains around his neck completed the Baby hitmaker's look.
Back to what he does best: The hitmaker dusts himself off after his strike out and busts his best Usher-inspired moves atop one of the Seven Wonders Of The World
Another hit on his hands: The star sings such cringeworthy lyrics as, 'You make me complete' and 'Grateful for your existence, faithful no matter the distance' in the catchy ballad that went straight to number one on 47 iTunes charts worldwide
In the song, the currently-single star sings such corny lines as, 'You make me complete', 'Grateful for your existence, faithful no matter the distance', and, 'You're all that matters to me'.
The most cringeworthy, however, has to be, 'What's a king bed without a queen.'
'The lyrics of this song are pretty self explanatory,' Justin says of his latest offering. 'When you fall in love with someone, that someone can make you feel whole.
'I feel like anyone who has been in love knows what I mean. The song conveys that being in love is one of the greatest feelings on earth. Love is all that matters. But the void you feel when love goes away is gut-wrenching.

Swagger: The singer is surrounded by his entourage as he makes his way up to the Wall, singing into the camera with his sunglasses firmly in place, baseball cap on and silver chains around his neck
Wardrobe malfunction: Justin donned black pants, a white hoodie with Chinese dragon emblem and matching high-top sneakers, while his low-hanging presumably black leather top underneath made it appear as if he was wearing a skirt
'I worked so hard on this song in the studio — trying to put that feeling into music was extremely important to me. I’m happy to share it with you. – JB.'
While the star struck out early on in the clip, he's rewarded at the very end by a hug from a female fan, no doubt much to his relief.
The singer caused controversy when he was filmed being carried up the steps of the Great Wall on the shoulders of his burly bodyguards just weeks ago.
Oh baby! He may not have done so well with a girl his own age, but Justin was a hit with this cute little baby, who he sweetly sung to as her mother watched on smiling
Going nowhere: At one point, the star sits on a stationary motorbike with a camel behind him as he sings and gyrates to the music
Not surprisingly, that footage didn't make it into the final edit of the video.
On October 3, the 19-year-old announced that he will release a new song every Monday for 10 weeks in the lead-up to his new album, Believe 3D, dropping later in the year or early in 2014.
Heartbreaker was the first release for Music Mondays, debuting on October 7, followed by All That Matters on October 14.
Just chillin with my crew: The video goes back to basics for the star, with no fancy effects, sexy back-up dancers or studio lighting
