Justin Bieber Covers Eminem, Twitpics With Jordin Sparks


Holiday radio festival season is in full effect, and not only does it give the opportunity for some of the most popular music artists to make the rounds during the holiday season, but it also gives them a chance to connect with each other. At the KDWB Jingle Ball in St. Paul, Minnesota, Justin Bieber and Jordin Sparks shared the bill and also spent some quality time backstage. They even snapped a picture together. "Look at our prom pic?" Bieber wrote to Sparks on his Twitter page. "Great show."

Bieber had a busy weekend. At another concert in Detroit — which also featured sets from Jay Sean, Owl City, Boys Like Girls, Colbie Caillat, Pitbull and 3OH!3 — the 15-year-old Canadian singer (whose debut album My World is currently tearing up the charts) paused in between songs to bust out the opening verse from Eminem's "Lose Yourself." Bieber gave Slim Shady the nod because they were in Detroit. "Had to pay respect to that guy from '8 Mile,'" Bieber tweeted. "Eminem is a beast."

There is video of the song here. Bieber acquits himself on the song pretty well (apparently Asher Roth wasn't lying when he said Bieber possessed MC skills). What's interesting about the footage is that Bieber seems to be moving pretty well on stage despite the fact that his right leg remains in an air cast because of his fractured foot, an injury he sustained during a show in London a few weeks ago. The foot hasn't stopped him from doing shows, though it has gotten in the way of extracurricular activities. He tweeted to mentor Usher earlier today, "I'd play ball with you but I have a disadvantage with my broken foot." No hoops for Bieber, but still plenty of cheers.
