Justin Bieber's 'Believe Acoustic' review: Seriously stale

"Believe Acoustic" (Island) are understandable. Biebs wants to
be taken seriously as an artist and as a man. However, applying
the same simple acoustic arrangement to the big pop productions
of his "Believe" album doesn't help his cause.  The stripped-
back takes on "Beauty and a Beat" or even "Boyfriend" are
interesting because they differ so much from the originals. But
the other acoustic takes quickly become unnecessary since the
vocals and tempo barely change. "Believe Acoustic" feels like a
shortcut to seriousness that he didn't need to take. Relax,
Biebs, your life is great.    "Believe Acoustic"   BOTTOM LINE
