Billboard -- Mere days before he releases his fifth album, "Believe
Acoustic," Justin Bieber is out with a new, laid-back live video for "As Long as
You Love Me."
Wearing a sleeveless jean vest and accompanied by his musical director, Dan
Kantner, on guitar, the 18-year-old Bieber effortlessly croons the "Believe"
standout, adding "la-lala-lala-la-la-lala-lala-la-la"s to the hook without
missing a beat.
The video, which was shot in Australia, gives fans a taste of what's to come
on "Believe Acoustic," which includes entirely reworked, stripped-down versions
of songs from his previous album. The set, out Jan. 29, also includes three new
songs.
If "Acoustic" debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as expected, Bieber will
be the only artist in history to have five No. 1 albums before turning 19. He
would also be just the 10th act to score a No. 1 album in four consecutive
years.
