No dancers, no pyrotechnics. Just Justin Bieber, an acoustic guitar, and the MetLife Stadium stage during halftime of the World Cup final. 🎸

For part of the audience, it was the disappointment of the year: they expected the massive show typical of these finals and instead found something slow, almost like an intimate venue performance. But others saw exactly the opposite: a more mature artist, far removed from the hyper-produced pop of his early days, showing a more real and “healing” version of himself.

Which side are you on? 👀 Did you miss the choreography-era Bieber, or did you like seeing him like this, alone with his guitar?
