Psychosocial Baby

A really provocative video mash-up, Bieber and Slipknot's sound comes together well in this interesting piece. I initially found it slightly creepy and annoying, but I have really come to like the chorus's blend of Corey Taylor's vocals and Bieber's instrumentals. Most non-adolescents snicker at any mention or playing of Bieber, but I personally give the kid some respect. A.) The kid can sell music, despite his immature stances on love and relationships. B.) His collaborations with other artists have been improving, Sean Kingston, Ludacris, Kanye West, and Chris Brown showing that he can get beyond pop-centered Miley. Thus, if this collaboration with Slipknot or another metal artist actually occured, I would be very interested and impressed. Until then, we have to stick to the computer-generated mash-up, but I still enjoy Bieber's time in the rock genre:
