Nobody can say that Justin Bieber<\/strong><\/a> didn\u2019t have people talking after he headlined at Coachella over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Several online critics slammed the \u201cBaby\u201d singer, 32, after he delivered a very stripped-down performance on Saturday, April 11.<\/p>\n

Bieber got on stage at nearly midnight wearing an oversized hoodie, shorts and boots before performing several songs from his 2025 album Swag II<\/em><\/a>. Assistants then set up a small table with a stool and the dad of one began pulling up old videos of himself on YouTube.<\/p>\n

He streamed the videos to a large screen behind him and sang along with some of his biggest hits like \u201cBaby\u201d and \u201cBeauty and a Beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Bieber also played some of his more viral moments that were caught on camera, including a verbal altercation with the paparazzi<\/a> in 2025 when he told them, \u201cIt\u2019s not clocking to you that I\u2019m standing on business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Multiple people took to social media to voice their disappointment with Bieber\u2019s performance, which reportedly earned him $10 million for two weekends at the festival.<\/p>\n
