The 21-year-old singer followed the mold set by Beyonce as he released 13 music videos for his album, Purpose, on Saturday.
In December 2013, the 34-year-old wife of Jay-Z secretly released an album, titled Beyonce, along with accompanying music videos for each track as yet another surprise.The Baby singer did differ a bit as his album was a planned release and he also opted to put out a video an hour over 13 hours on Saturday instead of one flood of releases.
Another stark contrast was that the Drunk In Love hitmaker starred in each and every one of the videos, while Justin is only featured in two of his.
He can only be seen in the first music video for Mark My Words and the very last titled Purpose, while the rest of the videos feature some of the best modern dancers.
The clip for Mark My Words begins with different footage of Justin preparing for concerts, being chased by fans and even a few of his bad behaviour incidents.
It then shows the Canadian crooner with his arms up by a waterfall before cutting to a title screen then showing him singing on top of a gold piano in the middle of the desert while wearing a jean jacket over an oversized white top and ripped jeans.
In the concluding music video, it shows the blonde singer back in the desert except this time he is accompanied with a few scantily-clad dancers who cuddle up all over him before he takes off his denim jacket then proceeds to walk alone in the desert and play with the sand.
Fans did not seem too upset about the lack of Justin as it has been met with generally positive reviews.
One of his Twitter followers wrote: '@justinbieber The 13 videos for #PURPOSE are works of art, both musical art and theatrical art.'Others focused on the talented dancers that were featured heavily in the clips as one wrote: 'I think every dancers dream job is to work for @justinbieber after watching all of these purpose dance videos. They're all [three fire emojis].'
Some were not quite as positive as one wrote: 'When you see all your fav dancers in @justinbieber music videos of Purpose... [neutral face emoji, gun emoji] #PurposeTheMovememt.'
Though Justin's appearances are scarce in the clips there is some star power as Skrillex, Diplo, Travis Scott, Big Sean and Halsey are also featured.dailymail
