Fans tune into shows like “American Idol”, “America’s Got Talent” and “X Factor” for the talent, there’s no question about that, but at the same time there are many viewers that tune into these talent competitions to check out some of the train wreck auditions as well.

While America has the talents of people like William Hung and the “Pants on the Ground”, it seems that Australia’s “X Factor” has found their own special talent in Jayanthy Murugesu with her rendition of Justin Bieber’s hit song “Baby.”

Although this might be one of the worst auditions ever, the judges were very cool with the young singer and didn’t give her a big red X and actually started dancing to her take on Bieber’s track. Did she make it through to the next round? You’ll have to tune in and see what happens to Murugesu.

Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" gets a parody with a Star Wars twist - CBS News

By William Goodman Topics LOL

(CBS News) I'll go ahead admit this right now: we here at The Feed are huge fans of Star Wars. There, I said it. We geek out on all things lightsabers and Force-related. And we can't help but post up just about any video with a clever play on the greatest science-fiction series of movies that ever was in the history of forever and ever. So with that out of the way, you shouldn't be surprised at all that we're compelled to post up this parody of Justin Bieber's hit song "Boyfriend" with a Star Wars twist. We really just can't help ourselves.

Aptly entitled "Droidfriend", the amusing parody piece of music was posted by IGN's START channel, created by Teddie Films and featuring none other than C3-Bieb-O himself who "wants to be the only droid you want." Punny? Sure, but also cute and clever.  And who doesn't like the occasional pun, right?

And for those who are a bit more purist in their love of Star Wars tributes, don't worry, we've got you covered. We're going to double up this post with an amazing musical homage below in honor of the iconic cantina scene posted by YouTube user CharlesLaurita. Enjoy!

2 Chainz Wants To Do More Songs Like Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend," But Also ... - HipHopDX

Home > News > 2 Chainz Wants To Do More Songs Like Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend," But Also Wants Less Features

In a recent interview, 2 Chainz explained why he'd like to do more songs like Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" and added that he wants to do less features now that his name is well known.

For awhile, 2 Chainz was a featured guest on many songs by various artists. His catchphrase caught on. His guest verses were welcomed by many. Recently, Chainz talked about why he decided to be on so many tracks to begin with and why he's deciding to make less featured appearances now.

“My whole theory behind doing guest features was to remain hot in the streets,” he explained to CBS Local, ”actually being a part of everyone’s google. When you google them, my name would pop up."  

One of the songs he did that he's proud of is the Justin Bieber song "Boyfriend," which he says was a challenge. 

“The Justin Bieber verse was something I could do,” he noted. “The challenge was doing a clean witty verse without cursing, and to know the fan base and the crowd I was catering to. It was fun. I would love to do more records like that.” 

Don't expect 2 Chainz to completely stop working on guest spots. Chainz added that he just wants to make songs that help him now.

“Now it’s about doing features that matter or can help catapult my campaign or doesn’t make sense any more,” he added. “A feature that’s worth me doing would be something that’s outside my genre, something outside my comfort level, outside my box. Pop rock, R&B. Something that’s not a normal 16 [lines] that I feel like I can do ion my sleep.”

Niall Horan sings Justin Bieber's 'Baby' (Video) - Gather Celebs News Channel

Niall Horan was a big Justin Bieber fan back before One Direction existed, and now there's video proof of his love for the Canadian crooner.

In an unearthed video taken from the days when Niall was dreaming of becoming a solo star, the Irish crooner is shown strumming a guitar and singing "Baby" at The X Factor bootcamp. According to Sugarscape, Niall's fellow The X Factor contestant John D'Ambrosio is responsible for delighting Directioners by posting the old video.

While Niall doesn't have all of his 1D band mates around to support him in the vid, he is surrounded by a big group of guys who join in every now and then (only at The X Factor boot camp is it acceptable for a bunch of dudes to sit around and sing Justin Bieber songs). Niall shows off his guitar-playing skills, and at the very beginning of the video, someone very important makes an appearance—Liam Payne!

Eight seconds in, D'Ambrosio pans over to show Liam watching Niall Horan and his pals sing. He's sporting the Biebs' old hairstyle, and he looks just a little jealous. Perhaps he was thinking, "I know you are not trying to play the acoustic version of my hero's hit song!" But he eventually quits being a diva and sits down right behind Niall, and of course he starts singing along; it's physically impossible not to sing along to "Baby," after all.

It's pretty crazy that the guys had no idea that they'd go on to perform at the Olympics as part of the biggest boy band in the world or that they'd actually get to meet Justin Bieber someday. And who knows? Maybe one day One Direction will be even bigger than the Biebs.

Niall Horan and Liam Payne Sing Justin Bieber's "Baby" at 'X-Factor' Boot Camp ... - Cambio

One Direction fans rejoice! A few new videos have hit the Internet and one totally shows your guys, Niall Horan and Liam Payne belting out a VERY familiar tune.

The video was taken while they boys were attending the X-Factor Boot Camp during their run on the hit show.

In the video, you see Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik (in the background) hanging out with some peeps on bleachers. Niall strums the guitar while singing Justin Bieber's "Baby."

Honestly, we can't tell who we like singing it better! (Sorry, Beliebers!)

The One Direction guys get compared to The Biebs all the time, so it's cool to see them do their own thing with one of JB's greatest hits!

Watch the whole thing go down in the video below and let us know what you think!

Justin Bieber's 'Baby' Sung By Chinese Man On A Cow: YouTube Video Goes Viral - Huffington Post UK

A YouTube video of a Chinese man singing a Justin Bieber song atop a cow has gone viral after the internet bowed to the talent of the amateur crooner.

Accompanied only by the strums of his guitar and a dog barking in the background, the passionate rider performs Bieber's "baby" and makes it his own.

It was first posted on Youku (China's equivalent of YouTube) under the title “I am legendary, art dream,” according to the blog Beijing Cream. Now on YouTube, it has nearly a million views.

And while Justin Bieber is a popular man, this long haired singer has cornered his own share of the market.

"Better than the original" writes one user, while another types: "Justin? Bieber called - he wants his cow back."

Listen and beliebe.
