There\u2019s a question that\u2019s been hanging in the air ever since Justin Bieber sat down in front of a laptop at Coachella to sing \u201cBaby\u201d and \u201cNever Say Never\u201d over YouTube videos: Why would someone in his position do something like that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The immediate reaction has been predictable. There\u2019s been talk of apathy, of disrespect toward the audience, even of a kind of performative sabotage. There are others who have been delighted, though. Bieber wasn\u2019t winging it on a small stage, but raking in around ten million\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
