composition

The album is largely in the field of pop music , but was also audibly influenced by R&B music. It has also been compared to the music of artists such as Michael Jackson , Usher , Stevie Wonder , Chris Brown and Ne-Yo . Some music magazines divided the album into two parts: the faster R&B / pop songs (“One Time”, “Favorite Girl”, “Bigger” and “Love Me”) and the quieter songs (“First Dance”, “One Less Lonely Girl ”and“ Down to Earth ”). The Entertainment Weekly called these stylistic differences “cute dance pop” and “kitschy crushing ballads”.

success

reception

In its conclusion, Billboard magazine wrote that “if you judge this delivery of poignant verse, it is hard to imagine that Bieber will deliver even more hits in the next decade.” Andy Kellman of Allmusic partly wrote the success of Bieber to his producers to. The songs that they had worked out for him were not of top quality, but the singer got by more than well with his sparkling clean charm and natural talent. The Boston Globe was of the opinion that "Bieber was indistinguishable from all those thousand pre-made pop candidates with musical inadequacies" that "need to be glossed over in the studio".
