Justin Bieber‘s recent-ish smash “Sorry” can be ticked off as a verified pop success. How do we know this? The tune’s gotten the Ten Second Songs treatment, which tends to be a reliable metric these days.
If you’re not familiar with the drill, musical multi-talent Anthony Vincent has a tendency to take a popular song (like “Dark Horse” or “Bad Blood”) and give the track a makeover with an unlikely swirl of “cover” versions. It’s an enchanting way to experience an alternate dimension where the glowing Purpose-era pop of The Biebs is reformatted to fit the style of post-grunge countrymen Nickelback or his former flame Selena Gomez. Your mileage may vary, but if you’re game to get swept up in the sweethearted novelty of it all you’ll come out the other side in good spirits. After all, there’s a silly disarming charm to seeing Bieber and KISS collide in the name of musical funzos.
Vincent has a grand total of 20 different styles at the ready in this clip. Things bop about from Kanye to U2 to Hanson, with even Ja Rule making an “appearance.” If nothing else, it’s the closest we’ll ever come to Five Finger Death Punch covering Justin Bieber. As far as we know.
