Justin Bieber’s Believe

Make no mistake about it. Justin Bieber is the Elvis of today's generation. As someone who works in the press (tho not entertainment press), I know how brutal the media can be to 'get the shot' or 'get it on camera' because the best shots, the most emotional shots, are the one's that rake in the biggest bucks. The paparazzi works relentlessly at pissing off celebrities, challenging them, saying whatever is necessary to catch them off guard just to catch the best money-making shot. And that's why the public sees mainly the bad stuff... because that's what we crave as a society... seeing someone at their worst, seeing that they're not perfect, seeing someone who's made a fall from grace.Well, like most, I stand corrected. I'm a 65 year old grandmother with grandsons the same age as Justin. And I'm a music lover. With two older sisters, I grew up on Elvis, then the Beatles, then Michael Jackson, though ultimately I became a die-hard blues fan. Out of pure curiosity, I rented Justin's 'Believe' DVD, directed by Jon Chu, the other night. And man, what a delightful surprise.Plain and simple, Justin Bieber works his ass off, not just on stage, but behind the scenes as well. He's a hands-on producer for his own shows, a song writer and plays piano, guitar and drums. I grew up in a music family where everyone had to play an instrument and trust me it takes practice, practice, practice to hone your art, which takes a lot of time each week. Justin plays 3 instruments plus sings and dances, which in and of itself is dozens of hours each week in choreography, practice, stretching, training and rehearsing.Much of the movie is an account of Justin's life on the road (so far), all the hard work that goes into his shows with some 1500 employees, and how involved he is in the outcome of each production. You can clearly see Usher's influence on Justin in his rhythm, blues, soul, and dancing. (For those of you who don't know, Usher discovered Justin, and is his mentor and Scooter Braun is his manager) Yet, looking a little more closely at Justin on stage one comes to also see the influence of Elvis, Michael Jackson and John Lennon. When Justin was on stage, there were times when I saw the spirit of these other famous entertainers shine through. And having lived through all those generations it was easy to see the multiple influences.Big kudo's to Justin's mom as well. As a single mother myself, I know how grueling it can be to raise children alone never mind a super star musical genius. In spite of the latter, and contrary to public opinion, this kid is very well grounded, kind, thoughtful and caring. And that my friends starts with the love, support and involvement of good parenting, being surrounded by positive people and grounded management.Justin was only 19 when this film was made. From what I can tell, he's on the right track, not just musically, but spiritually as well. His music is aimed at a younger audience because he's a young guy but it's clear in the movie that this guy has a long illustrious future ahead of him. I'm no fortune teller but my guess is that he will not be taking the same path that led to the shortened lives of Elvis or Michael. I for one hope to live long enough to see what his next moves will be for decades to come.Very impressed, movie was well done (kudos Jon Chu), Justin is a super star, not just because he's adorable and millions of girls are fainting worldwide when they see him, but because he works hard at it every single day. And that is his message in the movie. Believe. If you believe you can achieve, then you will. If you have an attitude of gratitude, then you will succeed. But it does take dedication, long hours and hard work, no matter which career path you choose for your life. Keep up the good work, Justin. To his mom, Scooter Braun, and Usher, a job very well done.And with a new update - Justin, your new look and kindness within is clearly shining outwardly. My mother lived her life and work by this motto: Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on. T'was not given for you alone. Pass it on. Let it travel down the years, let it wipe another's tears, Till in heaven the deed appears, Pass it on. And that JB is exactly what you are doing for your millions of fans. I look forward to watching you grow and evolve as an artist and as a man... and living a very long successful life. Pass it on! Please add me to the list of Beliebers!

This video seemed to be a well-balanced portrayal of the public and private lives of Justin. We all know Justin's public life, but this video also shows him to be, in many ways, just a regular person like the rest of us. Justin has confidence but also insecurities--despite his many successes. He seems to take his craft very seriously, wanting not just to perform, but to entertain his fans to the best of his ability. It shows in the effort that he puts into his work. There are many good singers, but the thing that makes Justin stand out is the way he delivers his songs--how he phrases them, how he expresses them, how he interprets them, and how he punctuates them. He doesn't just own a song. He makes listeners feel like they own the song, too.

My favorite part is when Justin gave that little girl a very happy last few days of her life and that really touched my heart and I almost cried. It’s a great movie but if you’re gonna watch it when it starts to get to that part make sure you have tissues.

I would die for Justin Bieber

This is a fine film presenting the side of Justin Bieber obscured by sensational, exaggerated, half true, or false reports in the media. It does not address all the so called scandals but enough to show he is not what the media has portrayed him as. Furthermore, it presents concert highlights that show he is no fluke; he's genuinely talented with a stage presence unmatched by few male pop stars since M.J. To those that irrationally hate him, it probably won't make a difference, but many former non fans and haters are now fans.

This was my daughter's (14) choice for a family movie, and I'll admit I settled in reluctantly. I like Bieber's music just fine - and knew more about his penchant for driving too fast and his many hair styles than I did about him as a person. But this is a very compelling movie. It's a revealing window into his life behind the scenes. It feels personal. He feels vulnerable. He feels real. And it's clear that he plays a very active role in his career. Despite his young age, he is making the decisions - large and small. He doesn't feel "managed." I'll admit it - count me as a Belieber.

I've been a belieber since 2009 and this movie really helps show how hes grown and how things are different from the first movie. Believe shows how much he loves music and the he pours himself into his music. It also shows that he has amazing connection with his fans that other celebrities dont have. I believe everyone should watch this movie because it shows hes down to earth and nothing like the headlines say he is. He truly is a wonderful person.

Honestly must be the end of the World. A great talent like Justin Bieber being subject to such abysmal scrutiny. I'm speaking of our American Press. They are too sad. This movie illustrates a hard young Man. Press illustrations are more like cartoons and for journalists to grow up must be asking too much. Give the guy ((Bieber) some credit. Praise isn't out of the question. Do something for your souls. You are in public too. Thanks Justin I "Believe" in you baby.

I loved it thank you

日本でのLIVEに行って最高だったのでDVDでもう一度と思い購入に至りました。もぅ〜最高💖。見るまでは、ちょっと不安でしたが、他の方のレビュー見て見応えあるとの事だったので（笑）。ただ…リージョンが、合わなくてパソコンでリージョン設定したら見れました。(汗)。よかったぁ〜(汗)。ほんとジャスティンの優しい人間性とアーティストとしての才能が、詰まった作品です。LIVEのジャスティンも、たくさん見れますよ！。ほんとにほんと買いですょ💖。何度も何度も見てます。（笑）。もっと早く買えばよかったぁ〜。ただ…パソコンでリージョン設定変更は、5回までだから…。最後は、日本にリージョン合わせないと今度は日本のが、見れないと言う事になるみたいなので…。普通には再生不可能になる事態になってしまうと言う事が判明！！。そこをふまえて購入した方がいいかも…。DVDの内容が、いいだけに…。なんか、調べたら有料ソフトがあるらしい…。リージョンを回数制限なしに変更可能な！。私も今…ラスト１回の変更になってしまったからちょっと焦ってます。。。

A Comparación de la mediocre edición que en méxico se ofrece de este film, (Por Parte de Videmax)Amazon nos da la opción de adquirir este titulo en su formato fiel, que Universal trae a nuestros hogaresCon un mejor Artwork, Slipcover, Audios, Video y Extras, esta edición es la mejor, y gracias al serviciode Amazon, que siempre es tan eficaz, Muy feliz con mi compra.

Après l'avoir cherché partout je l'ai enfin trouvé ici. Les sous titres en français sont présents. Sur la période de livraison qui m'a été donnée, le DVD est arrivé le premier jour! Il était très bien emballé et plastifié. Je ne m'en laisserai jamais je vous le recommande vivement.

Bellissimo film! Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia conoscere Justin non attraverso i pettegolezzi, le notizie false, gli scandali falsi o presunti ma attraverso la sua musica e le infinite cose buone che ha fatto/farà perché non è sicuramente la persona che viene descritta (diffamata, secondo me!) dai media
