Orchestra Turns Justin Bieber Song Into Classical Masterpiece

Some may argue that Justin Bieber's songs are masterpieces out of the gate (they would be mostly of the tween persuasion). But Steve Pycroft felt that, while Bieber's songs had potential, one song in particular coud be raised to a new -- and baroque -- level.

Pycroft took Bieber's pop tune "Beauty and Beat" and rearranged it for a performance by the countertenor Robin Blaze and the University of York Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir. The song maintains the original lyrics, but has a whole new feel when slowed down and classed up.

It's a much different type of cover song than we're used to, but it does go to show that any way you slice a Bieber song, it's gonna go viral.
