If you thought that what this day needed was a smooshing-together of the verses from Akon’s “Beautiful,” the robot-stomp beat that characterizes inescapable pop jams like “So What” and “I Kissed A Girl,” and the chorus to the Cardigans’ “Lovefool” that’s been reworked so it involves a 15-year-old singing the line “oh-how-you-doooo-me”… well, Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber’s new single, “Love Me,” is the song for you. And if it’s not, well, be warned that it’s apparently the song for a lot of young ladies, as it was just released to iTunes and it’s already No. 15 on that store’s chart. So, yeah. Wow. Clip after the jump.
Fun fact: Bieber was two years old when the Cardigans’ First Band On The Moon was released! Also, I can’t believe that I’ve become one of those people who says “Kids today,” but seriously for real, KIDS TODAY.

I can’t decide what about this to turn into an old lady about more, but I’m going to go with the “OH HOW YOU DOOO MEEEE” descant near the end.
Also, sorely tempted to sneak into a Justin Bieber concert and throw actual five-button cardigans on the stage, carrying the dual message a) How dare you do this to a song I don’t even really care about, and b) Put this on that girl you’re fingering.
Look at that pout. That pout swallows his whole face and vomits back some mushy equivalent.
Photographer was probably like, “Okay, go back to the eighth grade and give me the face right before you awkwardly feel up a girl in her living room. Holy shit. That’s the cover.”
My wife has called me out a few times recently for using the phrase “Kids today … ”
Sigh.
Why do these not quite covers but definitely more than a sample songs even exist? Do the producers get some sort of a tax break for making them? Is there some way we can make this illegal?
I prefer my Canadian pop to be sung by Robin Sparkles

Am I the only one who’s disturbed by the trajectory of the “Love Me” arrow?
At least it explains his pained expression.
“C’mon girl, don’t leave me with blue balls.” :(
Poor guy.
@perfectomix: THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one… That was the first thing I noticed about the cover, and I couldn’t stop staring at it! “Disturbing” was only one of the words that came to mind, alongside “WTF?!”.
That DOES explain the pout… someone should tell him that pouting does not work in these situations. But then again, neither do blue arrows. Oh well, there are many a thing wrong with this cover…
astig…. =))
My mom is laughing saying that his crew got justinbieber good lol… Justins face was classic u got got:) one less lonely boy;)
