    A step in the right direction for the beebs. His new voice post puberty is a welcomed upgrade that welcomes a edge to his music to mstch his more mature image. Songs like "boyfriend "and "as long as you love me" stsy true to the essence of his previous ballads but are sexier in intention and more adult in aspiration. This shedding does Justin well at least for some points

    Believe tem um sentimento de montanha russa, na maior parte do tempo você não está gostando daquilo, as subidas são demoradas e a melhor parte: a descida, só dura alguns segundos. Assim é o quarto álbum de Bieber, uma experiência sem graça, entediante e pouco divertida.

    Justin bieber 2nd best album, not only it's very nostalgic, it also deliver different vibes, like "die in your arms" gives me Christmas and chill vibes, "boyfriend" gives me these kinda of cool vibes , "beauty and a beat" gives me uplifting vibes, and bieber's vocals were on point and the album also has good features

    Believe is dedicated more to his fans, a move I appreciate from bieber. This album shows his growth from his previous album, and how his voice has matured. The album art is simple, but pops out, making it approachable. The album has 13 tracks, it's 48 minutes and 15 seconds long, aswell as 4 collabs. There are 40 co-writers, not counting features. Each song averages 4-6 co-writers. ThisBelieve is dedicated more to his fans, a move I appreciate from bieber. This album shows his growth from his previous album, and how his voice has matured.

Each song averages 4-6 co-writers. This album is mostly pop, however there are some edm vibes throughout. There are some fun upbeat songs, boyfriend, right here, take you, and beauty and a beat. Whilst some ballad like songs such as, fall, be alright, catching feelings and believe. The edm vibes come through all around the world, as long as you love me and beauty and a beat. These are all catchy tunes that had decent production and writing. All around the world has an edm feel, it means, well, everyone wants to be loved.
    Boyfriend is a teen pop hit, talking about how he has a crush on a girl, if he was her boyfriend he'd take care of her and never let her go. As long as you love me is another one of the edm vibe songs on the album, he talks about how his relationships are always out in the public, how his interest seems happy but isn't actually, how he'll love and take care of her no matter what society says.
    Catching feelings is a ballad type song, the meaning of it is, hes catching feelings for a girl hes been friends with. Take you is a fun pop song, hes concerned about a relationship and how he wants to make it better.
    Right here could either be about a relationship that broke between him and a girl or could be he got into a relationship with a girl who was already broken. The rest of the songs are similarly about love and relationships.

    I want to talk about believe, the song. This song is dedicated to his fans, not a lot of artists do that. He talks about how he wouldn't be where he is now without his fans. They believed in him, and look where he is now.

    Some albums simply have fillers, however I don't think there are any in this album. Justin released a few extra songs on the deluxe version, out of town girl, she don't like the lights, maria and fairytale. Which are all pretty good. She don't like the lights and out of town girl deserved to be on the regular album. This album is well produced, and well written. It's a solid album, I can go straight through without skipping. This is a superior album, I appreciate it a lot.

    THIS is the best album by a male artist ever. Even though "Journals" is close, though that doesn't count as an album.
    Highlights of "Believe" include "Right Here" feat. Drake, "Boyfriend", "Take You", "All Around the World" or "Die in your arms".

    No hay gran evolución que se pueda exaltar del album, todavía es un músico con una gran trayectoria por recorrer que no ha salido del lado comercial para entrar al artístico, quizás cuando entienda la importancia de la música en el ámbito artistico y comercial, genere un buen sonido por si solo. En si no es un mal album, pero tampoco es bueno, simplemente esta en el medio.

    The epitome of processed pop music, Justin Bieber's "Believe" is an odd collection of "songs." Seven people "collaborating" on songs that have lyrics a 10-year-old could write that have absolutely no substance, and stale synthpop beats galore. If you want all of that and more, buy "Believe." You'll hate it.

    In fact the album is OK. There are some fresh enjoyable energetic songs like "Die in your arms" "Beauty and a beat""All around the world".But it is true that Bieber's "swag swag swag" sounds stupid and his vocal performance doesn't sound like a singer's voice.And some awful songs like "Maria""She don't like the lights""Take you" shouldn't appear on the album.

    Justin Bieber may be the most succeeded pop artist in the world, however music is not just about having a pretty face and a little bit of style. I admit that this album is better that My World and My World 2.0 ,and Justin is more mature in this newest work. But that is not enough to be a good artist. Justin has the support of his crazy female fans but his songs continue to be uninteresting.

    Pergunta rápida: é melhor levar um tiro ou ouvir o no álbum do Justin Bieber? Se você acredita que a dor de um tiro é mais suportável que a dor causada no ouvidos por escutar o péssimo Believe, acertou.

    Pergunta rápida: é melhor levar um tiro ou ouvir o no álbum do Justin Bieber? Se você acredita que a dor de um tiro é mais suportável que a dor causada no ouvidos por escutar o péssimo Believe, acertou.

    Devo admitir que fui com o coração aberto e a minha opinião sem amarras com pré-conceitos para avaliar melhor o trabalho que é visto como o divisor de "ídolo adolescente" para "adulto". Só queria saber em qual mundo o trabalho realizado em Believe é divisor de alguma coisa. Só se for de "cantor teen com algumas canções até boazinhas" para "cantor teen que acha que está evoluindo que só canções ruins". Se antes o pop teen conseguia casar bem com a personalidade de Bieber agora a coisa caminha para um caminho estranho e precário. Na maioria do álbum, as batidas seguem de dance, pop, eletropop e com alguma coisa de R&B que parecem a resta do almoço de ontem. Não há uma grama de criatividade ou mesmo de vergonha na cara de copiar qualquer um que faça sucesso com o estilo. A falta de personalidade que o caminhão de produtores dão ao trabalho é de impressionar. Se não fosse pela voz de Justin, as canções poderiam ser de qualquer um. E por falar em voz: Justin está crescendo a olhos vistos. Isso é fato, mas a falta de habilidade para achar seu tom certo é grave. Ele não sabe se procura um toma mais grave (onde ele se sai melhor) ou aposta nos falsetos (onde ele é péssimo, ainda mais quando tenta subir mais o tom). Uma regra para esse tipo de trabalho é a parte da composição que normalmente se torna mais madura, mas aqui parece que retrocedeu. Se antes era feita para meninas de 13 anos com treze neurônios, agora a faixa etária caiu para 11 com apenas o Tico e Teco. É sério: poucas vezes vi juntas composições tão rasas, clichês e bobas. Entre todas as canções de nível precário onde ele não decide se quer ser o Usher, o Enrique Inglesias ou a Britney Spears (All Around the World é a copia de Till the World Ends), existe algumas coisas boas para serem faladas. A melhor canção de Believe (disparadamente) é a baladinha Catching Feelings acompanhado com uma boa base indo numa direção mais R&B. Num álbum onde a mais audaciosa musicalmente é Boyfriend, não podemos esperar muita coisa, né? Outro momento "interessante" é seu desabafo contra a menina que falou que ele era o pai do seu filho em Maria já que a tentativa dele soar com o Rei do Pop em Billie Jean conseguindo o momento mais "profundo". Há outros momentos não tão péssimos em Be Alright e Believe, tocas seguindo algo mais intimista. Do resto, nem vale comentar. Eu até acreditei que ele poderia evoluir, mas foram apenas falsas promessas.

    Ok, I'm 17 years old and I've nothing against teenager making music, but this is almost unlistenable! There's too much autotune and he doesn't even use his falsetto well. There are a lot of boys and girls of his age that make better music, but they're less famous: go listening to Hayley Westenra's old CDs and you'll know what I mean!

In fact, Bieber out-performs every guest vocalist on the album; even Nicki Minaj, who despite using Bieber's girlfriend as a reference, refuses to step up her game. The album will make Beliebers fall in love even harder, while hopefully helping haters turn their eyes to a new celebrity target, such as One Direction. Expand

    2. Boyfriend - 7/10 - Nice track, but he could have done it without the rap and the lyrics disappointed me.

    3. As Long As You Love Me (feat. Big Sean) - 8/10 - The chorus is the best part. His vocal performance at the verses may disappoint a little, but it's not the worst thing in the world.

    4. Catching Feelings - 7/10 - The instrumental track is good, but its lyrical content makes it worth a mixed review.

    5. Take You - 8/10 - The complete opposite from 'As Long As You Love Me', the verses are good, but the chorus disappointed a little.

    6. Right Here (feat. Drake) - 10/10 - Quite enjoyable track, specially because of Drake. 7. Fall - 3/10 - Its lyrical content is like that of any average song, and its instrumental track, specially in the chorus, is very annoying.

    8. Die In Your Arms - 10/10 - One of the best tracks in the album. The lyrics may be somehow shocking for it being a Justin Bieber song, but I don't think it has anything your kid hasn't seen before.

    9. Thought of You - 9/10 - Pretty enjoyable track, specially the chorus. I can't give it a 10 because I don't think the verses are good enough. They are good, but not good enough for me to give it a 10.

    10. Beauty and a Beat (feat. Nicki Minaj) - 10/10 - It's one of that tracks that get stuck in your head. It has a beat anyone can enjoy, specially if you like parties.

    11. One Love - 9/10 - Good track, even though the robotic sound in one part of the chorus is a little bit annoying.

    12. Be Alright - 10/10 - If you like ballads, then that's a perfect track.

    13. Believe - 9/10 - Nice melody, but its lyrical content makes it worth a 9.

    Deluxe edition tracks:

    14. Out of Town Girl - 1/10 - Its lyrical content is just so silly and its beat so annoying. Worst track in the album. Who actually cares if she's an out of town girl, Justin?

    15. She Don't Like the Lights - 8/10 - Love in the lights is just the typical day of a celebrity's life, so I think no one would identify with this song. But anyway, it has a nice beat, just that the lyrics are not very inspirational.

    16. Maria - 7/10 - If you know the whole story of Mariah Yeuter, then you can perfectly understand the lyrics. It was a pretty creative idea, but honestly, this song didn't surprise me, specially its beat.

    Terrible album. Nothing good about it. Just your typical crappy bubble-gum pop album, no originality, no replay value, NOTHING!! Bieber can't sing, dance, rap, play instruments, etc. He's overhyped and overrated. He'll fade away like some of the other crappy kid pop singers.

    Better than his first two attempts but still falls flat. He has a good voice but that is the only good thing i can find in this album. I didn't review his last two or even listen to them because they were obviously aimed at 9-15 year old girls. But i heard this album is for anyone who can appreciate a good pop singer/song writer.

Besides the fact that he didn't write most of this material if that, he may have wrote none but i'm not sure. The melodies and chords are all very simple but is expected in pop nowadays, this isn't necessarily a bad thing it makes for an easy, light listen but when the lyrics are this bland and all the songs don't differ it won't hold your full attention for the whole album. This is just the record companies way of keeping all his younger fans while also trying to reach older girls, which i won't condemn them for but it just shows that this album is not for me or any guy or any girl over the age of 19 should i say. I'm not saying listening to it is annoying or torture but besides the fact that it's not awful i can't find a reason to give this a positive review. Expand

    Is this a joke? This album is average in everyway(but look at him in the front cover... he is so cute), and he didnt even wrote this album. This is just another mainstream, manufactured album(and JB himself) to roll in big bucks from adolescent girls

    A really great improvement from his past work. It's really crazy how fast he's growing musically. Definitely a lot of variety, a lot of songs that people who aren't into the Bieber Fever sensation will still be able to enjoy. Good job Justin!

    I'll say one thing straight away: Believe is gonna sell soooo friggin' much!

    I'll say one thing straight away: Believe is gonna sell soooo friggin' much!
    I'll start with the positive things:
    Justin really did evolve since the last album, his songs are more mature, he is singing about his experiences and what he went through in the past years
    for example in Maria he's referring to that girl that said he was the father of her son,
    also there are a lot of songs where he speaks about selena gomez
    BUT
    lyrically speaking he is still doing the same thing as before:
    "gril I love you I wanna be your boyfriend blablabla"
    which is a good tactic because a lot of 13 year olds will still buy his album.
    I think that there are too many love songs in this album
    but justin bieber is not the only one that did this. Take Adele for example. she made a whole album about her being dumped by her boyfriend and how much depressed she was and blablabla....
    It's well produced, he's got the talent. but his lyrics are still stopping him (well actually, they are perfectly thought for teenagers so they are gonna take the album pretty far, but I mean artistically speaking they don't add up nothing original)
    Now let's start with the bad parts
    THE MUSICAL STYLE
    3/4 of the songs on this album are Timberlake copycats
    that doesn't mean they are not good, I actually like Timberlake a lot and I liked the songs, but I think JB's next step should be finding his own unique style.
    He's pointed a lot towards electronic in this last album which I think it's AWSOME because electronic music is the future, and he can explore more this genre and maybe give this genre a new direction like David Guetta did.
    I don't like the fact that people compare him to Michael jackson or Elvis presley because these two artist invented a new genre and JB hasn't done that yet. Unless you consider "swaggie" a genre.
    THE THING THAT MAKES ME HATE THIS ALBUM THE MOST
    there are too many songs that have been literally copied!!
    Fall----> "Beautiful Soul" Jesse Mccartney
    One love-----> "Forever" Chris Brown
    Out of town girl-----> "cry me a river" Justin Timberlake
    "Maria"------> "Billie Jean" Michael Jackson
    And that's a fact! if you don't believe me go listen to them yourself
    That is a fail to my eyes, even though I like these songs a lot.

    Best 4 tracks of the album:
    1. Out of town girl
    2. Boyfriend
    3. all around the world
    4. she don't like the lights

    Oh yes, and Die In your arms would be a perfect christmas song
    and the concept of the video "Boyfriend" is taken form the video "Girlfriend" by N Sync

    Well, I decided to listen to Believe after all the positive reviews claiming that it will 'convert so many haters into fans'. It's safe to say I'm more of a hater than a fan, but I objectively listened to the album, and I'm still not convinced.

There is really nothing that sets this album apart from any other contemporary release in 2012; it's all standard pop gubbins and studio trickery to me. The production is nice, clean and doesn't detract from Bieber's voice too much, which was suprising. Speaking of which, Bieber's singing is nothing amazing. Maybe he can sing, but this album doesn't serve as proof for that. The lyrics are definitely a weak point of the album; some of the rhymes are just plain silly ("Chillin' by the fire while we eatin' fondue" - what?!). Overall, there ain't a lot to get excited about here. It sounds like every other chart album out there to me, but since it's a Justin Bieber, his many fans will no doubt flock to this and proclaim it 'the greatest album ever' or 'perfect'. Expand

    I love the album, I think it's songs are unbelievably beautiful. I just really miss when Justin did songs alone, just his voice and a simple melody in the background, now 's more techno, which sometimes overpowers his amazing voice.. Don't get me wrong, I love every single one of his songs, it's just my opinion of what could have made it even better.

    His debut release Boyfriend, I believe was the perfect choice to market his album as it made a statement that there is a change, and a huge change that. Boyfriend sounds like Timberlake circa Girlfriend mixed with Ying-Yang Twins, Whisper Song.

    The songs I love the most on the album are the Michael Jackson reminiscent numbers - Die in Your Arms, Catching Feelings and Maria. Die In Your Arms samples MJ's "We've Got A Good Thing Going" and showcases Justin's somewhat underrated vocal skill in what is one of the most infectious tracks I've heard, it also reminds of Love on Top - Beyonce. Catching Feelings is a perfect album track that is so laid-back that you can just head-bob to and reminds me of Human Nature. Then there is Maria, which is arguably the most important song Justin has done addressing the Maria Yeater incident last year, giving an awesome vocal and making a Billie Jean circa 2012.

    In my honest opinion, the songs with assists aren't as good as I anticipated (maybe except Right Here and As Long As You Love Me). All Around The World is ok, Beauty and A Beat is good but not great, the collaborations with Nicki and Ludacris seriously left me wanting more but euro-pop music isn't my first choice so maybe it's just me.

    The album doesn't break any boundaries musically, but it breaks boundaries for Justin and his future in music. Believe will bring him new fans and is a good album. If Justin keeps this momentum he will reach the megastardom that artists like Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston and more recently Beyonce have.

He has writen more on this album and songs like be alright fall and catching feelings really showcase his talent and I think this is going to convert a lot of haters. Great Job Justin.

    Believe is most appealing when Bieber either emulates his mentor Usher-on dance-R&B tracks like "Boyfriend" (which remains one of 2012's best pop singles) or the slinky deluxe-edition track "Out Of Town Girl"-or plays to his basest, and best, pop instincts, like the aforementioned Jackson-aping "Die In Your Arms" or the Diplo-assisted head-rush "Thought Of You."
