I don't actually dislike Bieber. The man has pipes. And I've done videos about his drummer, Devon Taylor.

But one day while I was forced to listen to Sorry for the umpteenth time at the gym, I decided it would be hilarious to do some troll covers of Bieber.

To make sure my covers wouldn't be like a tree falling in the woods, I'd need a place to post them. I quickly settled on the Bieber subreddit. Which also solved the problem of which songs I should cover.

I posted a quick message that I was a new fan and wondering which songs I should check out, and waited for some replies. Good! People were responding.

From among the many suggestions, I narrowed it down to one, and I knew already what I was going to do - play 5/8 over the whole thing.

I held my breath and posted.

A good result would be some people saying "I'm not sure what this is". A great result would he outright bile - "this is the worst thing I've ever seen."

But a fantastic result would be the type of "damning with faint praise" condescension I sometimes see in my comments - "Nate, I really want to help you out, and as a friend I have to tell you I know what you're going for, and it's way off the mark. I know that hurts to hear."

I have a growing file of such comments that I send to my friends for amusement.

Anyway, if you want to find out the result, the second cover I decided to do, and the response to that one, you'll have to watch the video.

(Not to mention you can hear for yourself the artistic choices I made.)

Anyway, hope you enjoy!
