Justin Bieber Apologizes For Awkward BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Appearance

Justin Bieber has apologized for his listless interview and uninspired performance during his appearance on day one of BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge month.

Justin Bieber Says ‘Sorry’

Bieber was interviewed by BB1’s DJ Clara Amfo during his Live Lounge appearance, and couldn’t seem to be bothered to give more than monosyllabic answers to her questions. He failed to even muster a decent answer to Amfo’s question about the meaning behind, “What Do You Mean?”

Beiber also seemed to struggle to show any enthusiasm while running through his setlist for the appearance. He played acoustic version of his singles “Let Me Love You,” “What Do You Mean,” “Love Yourself” and “Cold Water” as well as covers of Tracy Chapman‘s “Fast Car” and 2Pac’s “Thugz Mansion.”

Twitter took Bieber to task for his appearance, leading the singer to issue an apology.

“I don’t usually get nervous but tonight I was thrown off and I was,” Bieber wrote. “Sorry about that. Really wanted to be my best. Hope u all had fun.”
