Teen heartthrob performs his latest single, does better than at the Billboard Awards

Justin Bieber was on Ellen DeGeneres the other day to perform the song he wrote specifically for her – or so she chooses to believe, jokingly of course. Above is a video of his performance.

After the 2012 Billboard Awards, where Justin's number was received with less than enthusiastic reviews because of his obvious inability to carry the tune live, this is actually awesome by comparison.

Either Justin fares better on smaller stages or the less complicated choreography helped him focus more on the song, but it worked.

The ladies in the audience wouldn't have complained even if it hadn't, especially since he was as kind as to walk through them for a high five.

“Boyfriend” is Justin's first single off the upcoming “Believe” album.
