Mega pop star, Justin Bieber, stuns music lovers with a cover performance in the Live Lounge.
Everyone has heard the name, Justin Bieber, his raw talent as a child slingshotted him into the spotlight—transforming him into one of the biggest celebrities of all time.
In this video, Bieber does one of the best Tracy Chapman covers you’ll ever see.
He doesn’t waste any time getting into it, using his one-of-a-kind voice to take the iconic song to the next level.
When Bieber starts to sing, it’s impossible not to get entranced.
Bieber totally makes the popular Tracy Chapman song his own, even playing the melody of the song as he simultaneously sings. There’s a good reason Bieber is one of the most influential pop stars of all time. The multi-faceted musician taught himself how to play the guitar, piano, drums and trumpet.
“Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman was off of her album Tracy Chapman that was nominated for a Grammy Award after its release in 1988.
The song was created 6 years before Bieber was born in 1994, but he makes it seem like he wrote it himself.
As he goes through the song, Bieber gets better every step of the way.
Something about his voice just makes you want to listen, and it gets better and better the older he gets. His rise into the spotlight was sudden. The then 13-year-old was discovered by a college dropout named Scooter Braun who created his own artist management company just to sign him.
After being discovered on YouTube by Braun, Bieber got his huge break when he was signed by legendary R&B singer Usher.
Since then, Bieber has solidified his spot in hearts everywhere—especially the hearts of teenage girls.
Toward the end of the Tracy Chapman cover, Bieber showcases his phenomenal vocals and skills on the guitar.
Not many people can outdo Tracy Chapman, but Justin Bieber is simply in a league of his own. He takes the iconic song from the ’80s and transforms it into a new-aged pop song all while making it look easy.
People on the internet went crazy for the mesmerizing cover performance—and tens of millions of YouTube users watched him perform “Fast Car” in the Live Lounge.
The incredible performance by Bieber has been viewed over 23.9 million times, with 246,000 people liking it.
Thousands of people also left comments on the video, many praising his acoustic abilities and suggesting that he does more of that particular style.
It’s easy to see why Justin Bieber quickly rose to the top of the music industry. Although he’s had his bumps along the way, for a young kid who was thrown into fame he has handled it pretty well over the years.
