When young Justin Bieber was plucked from obscurity in Canada years ago, there was an unspoken promise that he deliver heartbreaking covers of the man who paved the way for all pop heartthrobs named Justin: Justin Timberlake. 

Biebs has covered "Cry Me a River" before, but this is his finest version of the song because he's finally emo enough to own it. Sitting on a plush couch on the verge of tears is a good look.
