In Justin Bieber's video "Baby" the scene is set at a bowling alley with both sexes being represented in two seperate groups; girls and boys. The interaction of the teens is very typical of this day and age. Bieber is infatuated with this girl, who, like most teenage girls is playing hard to get. He eventually wins his sweetheart back with the approval of both groups. Typically teenagers do not usually meet in a bowling alley, usually parents take their families to the bowling alley for fun and relaxation. In the video it shows teenagers having good "clean" fun, even though there is no parental or adult supervision. Music is the connecting factor for these teens and in this reality everything is easy paced and relaxed.
"Baby" is predominantly upbeat and has a dance infused beat that gets you up and on your feet. The matchup between Bieber and Ludacris adds a welcome urban twist and a layer of maturity to Bieber's musical collection which cannot be denied. The music industry as a whole is facing massive challenges. The nature of the business has changed, but the pairing of two great artists has proven that this business is not opposed to different styles and merging of two totally different types of singers.
In the reality of this video there is no supervision, which seems to not be necessary as the teenagers are having a lot fun. Which is the reality most teens would like to live in. With all that being said "Baby" is good song with a sweet soulful undertones. Great duo! Great song!
