Don't worry, wifey is prominently featured

The much-anticipated <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/never-say-never-justin-bieber-gets-ready-for-his-comeback-in-2020">Justin Bieber</a> documentary, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/never-say-never-justin-bieber-gets-ready-for-his-comeback-in-2020">Justin Bieber: Seasons</a>, promised to be an inside look at the life of the popular, sometimes-controversial musician, along with the trials and tribulations that he has faced with his mental health over the past several years.&nbsp; While it&rsquo;s always heartwarming to see a person featured so prominently in the media spotlight take time away from their celebrity to focus on what&rsquo;s personal to them, from what the first episode shows, the series won&rsquo;t be revealing much at all about the beloved artist.

Seasons opens on an interview with Bieber in which the former teenage heartthrob, outfitted in a beanie and sweats, describes the refuge that music has provided for him from the time he first began uploading videos of himself singing to YouTube&nbsp;at the young age of 11. It is only appropriate that his current journey is documented on the same medium. The docuseries also delves into the past several years of Bieber&rsquo;s career, which have been nothing short of challenging, a story which is corroborated by Bieber&rsquo;s management in several sit-down interviews.&nbsp;&nbsp;

These on-screen dialogues feature the likes of <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/till-death-do-us-part-hailey-bieber-s-dream-wedding-dress-by-virgil-abloh">Hailey Bieber</a>, better known as &ldquo;wife,&rdquo; and managers Scooter Braun and Allison Kaye, all of whom expressed concern for the artist&rsquo;s wellbeing. In a statement from Braun, the celebrity manager succinctly states, &ldquo;No one has ever grown up in the history of humanity like Justin Bieber.&rdquo; It&#39;s a grandiose statement, and yet, it&#39;s one that accurately explains why Bieber has curtailed his fame following the whirlwind developments since his&nbsp;introduction to the music industry as a pre-teen.

During a trip to Bieber&rsquo;s hometown of Stratford, Ontario, Canada, the camera shows Bieber driving to see the site of past, less attended performances: the steps of a building in the city centre.&nbsp; Bieber can be heard saying, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re gonna go and check out the spot where I used to play.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s over here by the steps, with my wife. She&rsquo;s in the back,&quot;&nbsp;to which Hailey meekly replies &ldquo;Hi&rdquo; from behind the screen of her phone. The Biebers are en route to visit the spot where a young Justin used to play his guitar. The city of Stratford has since laid a plaque into the concrete,&nbsp;engraved with a star to commemorate &ldquo;Recording Artist Justin Bieber, July 1st, 2011.&rdquo;&nbsp; Perhaps the most uncomfortable moment in the docuseries was when Justin reads the year, then says with uncertainty, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s now 2019,&rdquo; looking to wife Hailey&nbsp;for confirmation &mdash; she&nbsp;simply nods. With renewed confidence, he proclaims, &ldquo;So it was 8 years ago.&rdquo;&nbsp; Simple math.

Since retreating from the spotlight in 2017, Bieber has made use of his personal time, as the &ldquo;Sorry&rdquo; singer notes in the YouTube documentary, citing his wife&nbsp;as his inspiration for new music, devotion to a healthy lifestyle,&nbsp;and renewed religiousness.&nbsp;What the short series (and we mean very short series, clocking in at the fortuitous time of 11:11 minutes for the first of the 10 episodes) does reveal is that Bieber thinks extremely highly of his wife, supermodel <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/till-death-do-us-part-hailey-bieber-s-dream-wedding-dress-by-virgil-abloh">Hailey Bieber</a>, formerly Baldwin.&nbsp; Throughout the series of interviews with Hailey, in which the <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/golden-jubilee-calvin-klein-celebrates-50-years-of-iconic-style">Calvin Klein model</a> is sporting a gold nameplate with the word &ldquo;Wifey,&rdquo; she expresses a common appreciation for Justin&rsquo;s dedication to his musical pursuits, claiming, &ldquo;Honestly, I feel like I&rsquo;m here to cheer him on and support him.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Other notable moments of the first episode of the documentary include a visit to the apartment where most of the pop star&rsquo;s childhood took place, a shot featuring the Biebers in the back of a Lamborghini with Justin singing and dancing along to one of his new tracks while Hailey sips an iced coffee, and lots of loungewear.&nbsp;The documentary ends with Bieber&rsquo;s return to the stage during <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/ariana-grande-the-new-face-of-givenchy-336fc74b-76ed-419c-b64f-b0de6bb566e3">Ariana Grande</a>&rsquo;s 2019 Coachella performance, which Braun among others have hailed as a &ldquo;turning point&rdquo; in the 25 year-old&rsquo;s tumultuous career. After performing a song with the &ldquo;<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/ariana-grande-finally-releases-the-thank-u-next-video">thank u, next</a>&rdquo; singer, Bieber knowingly baits his audience, stating, &ldquo;By the way, album coming soon,&rdquo; before leaving the stage. Just twelve hours after his new documentary premiered, Bieber announced his fifth album,&nbsp;Changes, is coming on February 14 (while also dropping a single to follow the much-talked-about &quot;Yummy,&quot; &quot;Get Me&quot; featuring Kehlani). Colour us shocked &mdash; but to his credit, it seems the star&nbsp;wanted us to know this was coming all along.
