As vice-president of my local Justin Bieber Fan Club chapter, I know for a fact that The Bieb is the greatest pop singer in the history of everything. He can sing, he can dance, he can... sing. And to top it all off, she's he's just so adorable!
Like all pop idols, his ascension to God-like status includes a few stops in the realm of acting, and his first jump into professional pretending is as a little bad boy in CBS' procedural CSI. While his proficiency as a singer and Youtube legend are untouchable (he's so dreamy!), his acting... well, don't quit your day job, kid.
Perhaps I'm being a little too hard on the munchkin. Heck with that Boys Don't Cry-era Hilary Swank haircut of his, he could do just about anything and I'd watch! And he's still light years ahead of the worst actor of our generation and generations to come, Ms. Bristol Palin.
Have a look at Bieber's acting debut on the season premiere of CSI, which debuts on September 23 on CBS.
What did you think? Let's critique the performance, and please, don't pull any punches. He'll be reading these comments so let's give him constructive criticism.

I know this was ages ago but seeing as he may possible chance upon this message I couldn't resist but to comment.
Firstly I think he did very well. The important thing is that we can believe him to be Jason McCann, I think it was pulled off very well. Justin Bieber is a good actor and I think he shows promise for the future. Very well done!
At points I think he seemed over-confident for someone in his position but it didn't ruin it for me. I wouldn't like to see him in any leading roles for big films because, let's be honest, the story will be changed to fit with Justin and not the other way round. With similar sized parts I think he could have a very successful acting career.
If he goes and suprises me I'll be very happy but as someone else commented. Perhaps he should leave acting to actors?
When I heard about your appearence I was frankly worried. "Here comes another singer who plans to muscle into acting." Act well and I have no problem. Somebody below said that he had no expression on his face while being interrigated. Had he had a big expression I would have critisized it. All he was lacking there was a sense of timidity. His facial expression was perfect throughout. I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber but credit given where credit's due. I would like to see him more on TV. He may turn out excellently.moreless
it was a good performance
Indeed
He's a Goa'uld everybody.
i don't know if it is him or his hair which is more ***ed
Awful, hate him!!
Here's a crazy idea; how about letting actors get acting parts?
I think he 's great,he just feels what he says,and if he wasn't...i'm sure he gave his best and this is what it counts.Great job Justin!!!
who the hell is this ***?
No wonder half the world think americans are stupid when this is the people that are ""Famous?"" in thier culture
he sound like girl i hate his hair! and his face and his voice and everything about or relate to this kid plus this sh** isn\'t acting
Not as bad as Bristol, but def not guest star caliber.
Justin, just go die already, we're fed up of some kid who has to deliberately lower his voice to get a part of an adolescent male, he should try growing his hair and going for acting positions requiring a teenage girl. Oh and stop wearing lipstick if you don't do that
To everyone complaining about his hair -- he can't change it, he needs to hide the Mark of the Beast on his forehead.
Just stop Justin.. Stop..
Well, he's definitely better than Bristol Palin, though that isn't saying much.
LOL Did you see him "act" on SNL? That was ridiculously bad. Acting isn't in this kid at all, maybe he should stick to walking into doors. At least that'll make us laugh cause all of his singing just makes me sad.
well it could have been ALOT worse, although his voice sounds like he's been smoking for 10 years, he was that that bad.
Aside from the fact that for some reason I hate him... I have to say, Palin was so bad, which makes the kid a tad better... Loved the Swank reference =D
Oh My God that was awful. It was like someone botoxed his face. I blame Taylor Swift for this. She started this whole teen star on tv shows thing. Don\'t get me wrong, I thought Taylor was really good when she was on CSI but she is the reason that CSI execs thought it would be a good idea to bring this talentless mama's boy on here. This is why shows have an auditioning process. If this guy had auditioned, he would have been thrown out on his ass. He couldn\'t even be bothered changing his look to suit his character. At least Taylor dyed her hair black and was able to put some compassion into her performance. Once again Beiber sucks ass. The sooner his voice breaks and he fades into obscurity the bettermoreless
No emotion on his face...
Return him to MTV...
well that was just bad. good thing he isn't quitting singing since a tvshow with him on it would be the most boring thing ever.
Wow, he actually sucks at two things, not only one.
his hair is to long..it covers his eyebrows and forehead completely... so for all i care he could have been really emotional or scared or whatever ... it just doesn't come through. his face look emotionless ...real piece of wood.
I hate this guy.
How is this kid this popular?
Justin Barbie is trying to act? He should (or shouldn't as it doesn't matter to me) work on his singing.
omg.. he looks like Amanda Bynes in that movie "she's the man" hahaha.. even soo he's a talented kido.. but.. if i have to choose.. i pick up the Jo-bros.
he sucked so BAD !!
It sounds like he's about to die.
he can't sing and wants to act, no supprise he can't do that either
I am going to say this up front, Justin Bieber in no way, represents the great country of Canada. Ugghhh.
BRING BACK BRISTOL PALIN TO TV, I WANT HER ACTING AGAIN OVER BIEBS
He's not that bad, actually. As an actor myself, I can honestly say that.
