Brown and Bieber body-pop their way through the apocalypse
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 20 June 2011
We all know that Britney Spears themed her spin on the planet’s ultimate destruction around an underground dance party in her ‘Till The World Ends’ video. R&Pop’s most dynamic dream team, known individually as Chris Brown and Justin Bieber, follow Spears’ lead in their new promo for what’s officially Chris’ latest single ‘Next 2 You’, also opting to move and groove their apocalyptic cares away as the world, quite literally, falls down around them.
The ‘Next 2 You’ video’s plot starts off quietly enough, with separate shots of Chris and Justin spending some special time with their respective love interests, but things quickly go awry when cars and hydrants start exploding, and the weather takes a turn for the worse (that’s a slight understatement, by the way). Amidst the destruction and panic, the boys spot an ideal moment to perform their song, taking up their positions on stormy rooftops and decaying street corners. From then on, footage of the duo body-popping on the sidewalk is cut together with shots of citizens running around screaming as the world-ending chaos mounts.
To the dismay of Brown ‘n’ Bieber fangirls everywhere, a grubby-looking rough-cut of the video leaked a few weeks back, but the glossy, cinema quality edit is now available for screening. Containing startling images of Chris Brown doing the ‘robot’ next to an up-ended shopping trolley, watch ‘Next 2 You’ here.
