News summary:

• Justin Bieber’s concert at Rock in Rio was marked by a difficult phase in his personal life

• The singer performed on the Mundo stage on Sunday night (4) amid health issues

• We collected moments when the artist got lost during the performance

Amid uncertainty over his show’s performance due to health concerns, justin bieber stepped onto the world stage Rock in Rio this Sunday (the 4th) and played for 1h35. However, the general opinion is that the artist did not deliver his best version to the fans.

Although the audience was dedicated to singing the hits along with the Canadian and not letting the energy of the performance drop, the singer couldn’t contain his hazy demeanor at certain points during the performance. Beyond social media memes about Bieber’s reluctance to be in rock city, we’ve rounded up four moments when Justin wasn’t focused on the show:

apathetic entry

For those who watched the show, whether on the television screen, computer or in person, it was clear that the start of the presentation was not very lively. It looks like Justin Bieber took a few songs to deliver them to the public and even took his shirt off. We can split the show between Justin in a coat, shirt and hat (disappointed) and Justin without a shirt or cap (excited).

“I thought he came listless, sang three songs, then started getting infected with energy,” said Enzo Kfouri, 23, who was at Cidade do Rock to see him. live and noticed the lack of entertainment even though he was in the middle of the crowd.

confused reading

We know it’s common for singers to use playback on really big shows, but there’s a safe way to use your recorded voice without disturbing the live one. In the case of Justin at Rock in Rio, it seems that this form was not respected.

The crossover of the recorded songs with the singer’s voice was quite confusing to those watching. He seemed to be very blurry and even played times where he took the microphone out of his mouth, danced silently, and his voice continued to sing in the playback. In other parts of the presentation, Justin sang along with the recording as if he were the second voice in a country duo.

random dance

Justin Bieber or Hadson from “BBB20”? The audience was surprised by the singer’s random dancing during the performance of “Where Are U Now” with uncoordinated steps and no rhythm. It wouldn’t be so strange if he didn’t know how to dance, like he did in other shows with well-presented choreography.

repetitive preaching

Towards the end of the show, he thanked Jesus for the moment, said he loved Rio de Janeiro, paid tribute to spouse and prayed for Brazil. However, his preaching moment was marked by about 20 seconds of rehearsals of “Merci, Jésus,” which means “Thank You, Jesus” in loose translation, in front of the piano as the band played.

It felt like another moment in the singer’s attempt to reconnect to end the show amid failing health. This is because the artist is a participant of the Hillsong evangelical church and had already shown an opening video in the form of a sermon.
