Despite being a hugely popular pop star, Justin Bieber has just about as many haters as he does fans. In recent years, he's been known for having a huge attitude problem, and it's caused many people (including me) to write him off as just another ungrateful celebrity.
Recently, however, the 21-year-old singer has seemed to want to turn his life and image around. He apologized for his past behavior during his Comedy Central Roast, and this week, he went on The Late Late Show with James Corden to perform a bit of Carpool Karaoke.
I was pretty nervous when I watched this at first. I thought for sure that Bieber would be his normal, rude, brooding self, and combined with James Corden's goofy personality, the segment would turn into an awkward train wreck. But instead, the Biebs seemed like he'd be pretty fun to hang out with! Just like when Jennifer Hudson did Carpool Karaoke on the show, both guys seem to be having a great time together. It seems like their car-aoke session went a lot better than the one these friends had right before their tire blew out!
I loved seeing these two perform some of the hits that made Justin famous, but the part that really shocked me was when James handed his new friend a Rubik's Cube. Justin insisted that he could solve it, but I thought for sure he was just being arrogant. Just a few minutes later, he gave the cube back to James, and…WOW! I guess this guy deserves more credit than I've been giving him!
It seems like Justin Bieber is proving that some people really do change. We'll see if it lasts, but for now, I'm definitely liking this new fun-loving Biebs.
