It‘s crazy to me that Justin was only 19 when he dropped this. His management and label didnt support him during this process because they didnt want him to do r&b, but he did this album nevertheless and just dropped it without any promotion. He was doing a world tour at that time, overworked, doing drugs due to his anxiety and high pressure from the industry, so in a very very bad place mentally but he turned it into Journals and I will always thank him for this album. Its my favorite album ever. Words can‘t describe how much it means to me
@@davidfelix1482 Oh They should really do PURPOSE album then. Their songs there is by far more lyrical great than JB's other album, aside than Journal ofcourse.

my poor baby was only 19 when he dropped this.his label didnt want him to doing r&b, and he’s was on a world tour while writing this. consistently being overworked, doing drugs, his relationship with selena, not to mention diddy… i will always be grateful for this album this and purpose is his BEST work also i would like to point out the double meaning behind Hold Tight, my boy was getting freakyyy “so hard walking out” was originally suppose to be “so hard pulling out” he was talking about that cat the whole song😂
I remember when he dropped every song from this album on Twitter... it was called Music Mondays and this was the first banger I still love it till this day... still my favorite along with Flatline
It‘s absolutely insane that you understand the sample of „Bad Day“. I‘ve been in the Bieber Fandom since 2010 and it was NEVER mentioned. I myself didn‘t realize that and this was brandnew Information for me!! So thank you for that
For true belieber we love this specific album cuz some people who know Justin as artist don’t really know about this album.For me and real belieber its so special😊💜
Crazy part is this wasn’t supposed to be an album. He was just dropping singles every Monday, it caught so much traction they had to put something together which is why some songs don’t mesh well. 1-6 was a generational run
Gotta listen to where it all began!!! My World and My World 2.0 are his masterpieces, fr. So many other amazing albums, but those ones will always have my heart!!!
I remember being in middle school waiting every Monday for a new single to drop, this is by far my favorite album of his. Its so raw and pure, my boy was in his feelings 🤍🤍 Love Justin
ignore some of the lyrics and just vibeeeee. he did his big one with this album. dropping on music Mondays, the switch from younger JB. you really had to be there! & we didn't mind the lyrics because we were like 13/14 at the time lol. & his TikTok live performance of this album is incredible- the live music elevated it so much. all bad, swap it out & one life are my faves! (& you're just like me- pyd is a straight skip!)
2013 was a time for me, we were the last leg of the believe tour in Australia/NZ and Music Mondays was happening, where there was a new song drop every week from journals. What time!
guys, i liked the way you were vibing with all the songs, even im being a such fan of justin bieber, we cant deny the incredible artist he is. this album is one of the bests and intimist he ever done. i have a sugest for you, he did a special live for valetines day singing 'journals' you should check out, he did a really good experience of 'journals' singed live. congrats on your work!
I get not sitting through a repetitive song for a reaction vid but YALL MISSED THE BEST PARTS AND RUNS OF SWAP IT OUT 😩 the climax and flow of it is what makes it an interesting listen, I’d def recommend finishing it out!
Bro I feel so embarrassed right now bcz JB was my top artist of year on Spotify and I don't even know about this album. I'm vibing to his backpack from almost an hour now and I feel like crying. It's sooo good 😭
i had been a fan of justin for years when this album came out, and even tho i'm not a fan of his anymore because of a variety of reasons, this album is still one of my favorite ones in the entire world. haven't watched the video yet, but i hope y'all liked it !!
would listen to the new drops every monday morning getting ready for 7th grade. so many r&b bangers on here, listen to one of his ollldest songs "common denominator" off my world. the r&b vocal at that age is actually crazy lmaoo
I was 17 when this album came out, just found my first love, gosh it was amazing. This is his absolute best album, Heartbreaker is still my favorite song till this day. Artistry at its finest.
sad that we didn't get to hear the best part of swap it out- the outro! & we know that times have changed since a 4 minute song is considered long now?? 2 minutes is an intro or interlude- music back in the day allowed you time to get into it, come on guys! lol
amazing that yall done journals ! this is such a special body of work and such an era. But to your comment of let another guy come and ask for what he asked for on the change me track, he was being very sincere in acknowledging his ways and his approach - then asking for what he believes would compliment his flaws during a time in his life where things were extremley difficult for him. Alot of todays asks of womens are hardly ever met with behavioural acknowledgment of the person asking IMO
I love hearing yall breaking out the meaning and lyrics of the songs! JB really poured his heart out with this album and it never got the recognition it deserved 😭 I’m so happy yall liked change me and bad day bc those are in my top five aside from flatline and swap it out!
Loool I can relate to these brothers finding out Bieber is actually cold. I used to hate on him but once he dropped Purpose I went back and listened to Believe and Journals.. and Yh it’s fair to say he’s been that guy🫡
Love this reaction. I feel the same way as you guys for most of the songs EXCEPT Swap it Out. That’s actually my favorite song from him being a fan for many years. I’m really disappointed you missed the best part of Swap it Out. (The end with Justin’s vocals is the best I’ve heard from him)
Lemme address the “keep it gangsta” lyric and the “you’re not actually light skin Jb” comment He was 14-15 yrs old when he was mentored by usher Diddy L.A. Reid. Jb was around many influential black people. And now knowing what we know about diddy and Justin Biebers relationship throughout his teenage years with him, I think his lyric is understandable. U are a product of your environment
Journal's solidified my love for bieb's music once I listened to it. I was hellbent on hating him too. lol Just couldn't after that album. I loved almost every song on that album. Change me has me saaaangin in my car, you hear me??? But seriously, it's really hard to even choose a favorite track from it. Once JB showed me he could do rnb? Instantly sold me lol
omg this came like a gift right before my exams week, thanks guys! i was really excited for you to react to journals ever since tiktok bc it's my favorite jb album, but it's been a loooong time since i actually listened to it all back to back, so it was kind of a shock how bad the ufo songs are lmao, just wiped them out of my memory 😅. you learn to enjoy rollercoaster and memphis eventually, but it does take the right mood to do it. really great video and loved that you gave bizzle a chance ❤

i had the same thought. at 19 i was definitely not dropping classics.
That’s beautiful
I remember him dropping each song every day on twitter it was a crazy time the fans were loving it. And then he had his fragrance called key 🔑
@@siansvieit was music mondays
yeah thats crazy because his other albums are so good but Journals will always be my fav
love me some Jaquavious Bieber
His lightskin swag era was his best era. Lol
waiting every monday for a new song release for this album was truly an experience i’ll never forget. bieber fever was REAL
Music Monday’s yoooooo “Heartbreaker “ was dat song
And learning all the words immediately ❤
SAMEEE
yall not liking roller coaster is freaking me out! like that break down is so fire!!!
SAME like that’s the best part
one of my top on the album it's so good
They’re more lyrically focused than melody
Eles são frescos! (Picky) Kind wimps...😅

Gurl the emojis are nostalgic af they remind me of when he used to post teasers of every journals single every week
not finishing swap it out is a insane thing guys. the ending is the best part of the song.
SWAP IT OUT IS THE BEST SONG FROM THIS ALBUM TOO 😫
my poor baby was only 19 when he dropped this.his label didnt want him to doing r&b, and he’s was on a world tour while writing this. consistently being overworked, doing drugs, his relationship with selena, not to mention diddy… i will always be grateful for this album this and purpose is his BEST work
also i would like to point out the double meaning behind Hold Tight, my boy was getting freakyyy “so hard walking out” was originally suppose to be “so hard pulling out” he was talking about that cat the whole song😂
100%%%% YES GIRL YES...
Justice is his best with journals
I remember when he dropped every song from this album on Twitter... it was called Music Mondays and this was the first banger I still love it till this day... still my favorite along with Flatline
music mondays! what a time to be alive!
yall have to see him do "journals live" the band he has switches up how the songs come together and you get to hear his live voice its *chefs kiss*
journals live is everythinggggg
One Life Live is So Bannngeerrrrrr
@@R14zoka MY FAVORITE.
Cutting swap it out at the best part is criminal.
IVE BEEN SCREAMING ISTGGGG
That song is like one of my favs EVER. One day Replayed it like 10+ times😭
I was expecting more love for heartbreaker. That shit is fireeee
His most underrated album ever. Glad you reacted to this banger!
It‘s absolutely insane that you understand the sample of „Bad Day“. I‘ve been in the Bieber Fandom since 2010 and it was NEVER mentioned. I myself didn‘t realize that and this was brandnew Information for me!! So thank you for that
For true belieber we love this specific album cuz some people who know Justin as artist don’t really know about this album.For me and real belieber its so special😊💜

Y’all have no idea how happy I am you’re listening to this. BAD DAY ISSSS THAT SONGGGG
PURPOSE ALBUM NEXT PLEASSEEEEEEEEEEEEEWEE
OR BELIEVE ALBUM IM BEGGING FOR MORE JB
YESSS PLS
All bad, Flatline, Swap It Out and One Life are my favorites!
recovery is such an underrated banger on this album!! miss this era of JB as well as believe - being a fan during those days was an EXPERIENCE
recovery is my favoriteeeee omg
Samee @@EarthAngel-i7l
One of my faves too
Crazy part is this wasn’t supposed to be an album. He was just dropping singles every Monday, it caught so much traction they had to put something together which is why some songs don’t mesh well. 1-6 was a generational run
That was a good run. Checking every week for the next drop. It kept going wasn’t sure when it’d stop haha. Best era.
I watched this full video on Patreon TWICE and now I'm watching it again on RUclips because I LOVE Journals and I LOVE YA'LL!
this is love, thank you
yess such a great album
Jontavious R&Bieber will forever be my favorite era.
Crazy cause i think that backpack and what’s hatnin are really good tracks and really well created
literally
r&bieber!!!!! this is his best album and his label did not want this put out so he released as only digital
bro was heart broken about Selena Gomez and dropped the best album on his discography
exactly
Now react to PURPOSE!!!! The production is crazyyy and it's more mature 100%
Omg this his best album im so glad yall reacting to it can’t wait to watch
35:46 “who is he feeling like” has me crying 🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for this moment. This albums needs more love. Pls continue the jb series ✨
I always assumed Rollercoaster was all over the place to make you feel the anxiety of a roller coaster. The whole song is a juxtaposition.
Gotta listen to where it all began!!! My World and My World 2.0 are his masterpieces, fr. So many other amazing albums, but those ones will always have my heart!!!
SEATED for this reaction right here !👏🏾his best album
OMGG Keisha!! I love your channel soo much ❤❤
I remember being in middle school waiting every Monday for a new single to drop, this is by far my favorite album of his. Its so raw and pure, my boy was in his feelings 🤍🤍 Love Justin
All Bad is legitimately his best song
Exactlyy
19 ... he was 19
my forever favorite album by JB
listen to positions! ariana does a great job on that specific album fusing r&b and trap into pop. definitely feels like her most authentic album!
omg yes
yess! i neeeeed them to react to positions
FACTS
yh
Best track=safety net

LIGHTSKIN BIEBER NEEDS TO COMEBACK
2013 was a time for me, we were the last leg of the believe tour in Australia/NZ and Music Mondays was happening, where there was a new song drop every week from journals. What time!
The way im still obsessed with journals album growing up is crazyyy. He a legenddd
guys, i liked the way you were vibing with all the songs, even im being a such fan of justin bieber, we cant deny the incredible artist he is. this album is one of the bests and intimist he ever done.
i have a sugest for you, he did a special live for valetines day singing 'journals' you should check out, he did a really good experience of 'journals' singed live.
congrats on your work!
I get not sitting through a repetitive song for a reaction vid but YALL MISSED THE BEST PARTS AND RUNS OF SWAP IT OUT 😩 the climax and flow of it is what makes it an interesting listen, I’d def recommend finishing it out!
probably on of the best album he had ever released (yet) THANK U FOR DOING THIS KIND OF VIDEOS I love to see people enjoying my fav music
WHERE IS FLATLINE?!? MY FAVORITE ONE 😭
Apple Music doesn't have "flatline", I don't know why
it’s a single so it’s not rlly considered on the album
@@JoaoVitor-ji3kvits on there for me
@@JoaoVitor-ji3kvYes they do, it’s been on my phone for years lol. Look again.
@@JoaoVitor-ji3kv flatline is on Apple Music
Bro I feel so embarrassed right now bcz JB was my top artist of year on Spotify and I don't even know about this album. I'm vibing to his backpack from almost an hour now and I feel like crying. It's sooo good 😭

lmao this didn't go how i hoped it would, but good reactio nonetheless! purpose could be more of your liking tho
Album been on repeat 😫 n the fact yall finding out 🫶🏽✨ magiiicccc
would listen to the new drops every monday morning getting ready for 7th grade. so many r&b bangers on here, listen to one of his ollldest songs "common denominator" off my world. the r&b vocal at that age is actually crazy lmaoo
One life will forever be my favorite
The Isley Brothers samples on Bad Day is crazy!! Bieber is absolutely amazing in all aspect, he’s versatile.
I was 17 when this album came out, just found my first love, gosh it was amazing. This is his absolute best album, Heartbreaker is still my favorite song till this day. Artistry at its finest.
i screamed when i saw this omggggggg
you have no idea how that "oh oh" in All That Matters had the Bieber girlies acting when that happened
lmao when JB was in his bag guys were listening to him
I can’t wait you guys have to listen to every album I’m a big JB fan and he’s just on top vocally and lyrically I hope he releases new music 🎉
journals is timelessssss
journals is one of my faaaaavs!! but purpose is number one
YALL NEED to watch journals live
I’m laughing so hard at your guys’ reaction Backpack 💀💀💀
I aint even at that part yet but i bet its about lil wayne part.. cause what was that
@@tramya183they just hated the entire concept from the beginning lmao
sad that we didn't get to hear the best part of swap it out- the outro! & we know that times have changed since a 4 minute song is considered long now?? 2 minutes is an intro or interlude- music back in the day allowed you time to get into it, come on guys! lol

Rollercoaster will always be #1 to ME 😂it came out the day before I seen him live for the first time
I had no business screaming some of these lyrics at like 11 y/o 😭 but my favorite album ever backpack is always on repeat!
I love hearing yall breaking out the meaning and lyrics of the songs! JB really poured his heart out with this album and it never got the recognition it deserved 😭 I’m so happy yall liked change me and bad day bc those are in my top five aside from flatline and swap it out!
We need more Bieber fr. Bro is nice as hell
Purpose deluxe and believe next plsssssss
Yes these are two my favorite albums
thank uuuuu, love your reaction guys! ❤❤
Loool I can relate to these brothers finding out Bieber is actually cold.
I used to hate on him but once he dropped Purpose I went back and listened to Believe and Journals.. and Yh it’s fair to say he’s been that guy🫡
Memphis is everything
Love this reaction. I feel the same way as you guys for most of the songs EXCEPT Swap it Out. That’s actually my favorite song from him being a fan for many years. I’m really disappointed you missed the best part of Swap it Out. (The end with Justin’s vocals is the best I’ve heard from him)
We needed “Flatline” reaction uploaded on RUclips 💔💔💔💔
Oh I’ve been WAITING for this one
Nooo I love how long swap it out is, he switches it up and he sounds so good. I got his vocal runs memorized lol
omg wheres the whole reaction to swap it out 😭😭😭 thats my favorite, this song has so many different and goods parts
IT HAD BEEN AGES SINCE I LISTENED TO JOURNALS THIS WAS MY SHIT I LOVE IT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT BACK TO MY PLAYLISTS
EARLYYY LOVING THE JB REACTIONS‼️
the jump from all bad to PYD is frying me bro omfg 😭😭😭😭 “who is he feeling like rn”
Please listen to his changes album, i feel as if it’s not talked about enough! One of my favorite jb albums.
Yes !!! Changes and journals are top JB albums in my opinion
his best album, i love all the songs
Lemme address the “keep it gangsta” lyric and the “you’re not actually light skin Jb” comment
He was 14-15 yrs old when he was mentored by usher Diddy L.A. Reid. Jb was around many influential black people. And now knowing what we know about diddy and Justin Biebers relationship throughout his teenage years with him, I think his lyric is understandable. U are a product of your environment
I believe roller coaster had different beat and flow to represent the highs and lows of a roller coaster
i’m so happy he’s revisiting this album ugh
This is smooth R&B Justin 😍🔥
the production fire because Pooh Bear collaborated on this album with our JB🤭🤍
One life and change me are the best records.
yall needa do flatline, it was a bonus track off this album, ts fire 👀👀👀💯💯💯
love me some lightskin bieber
BAD DAY IS LITERALLY HIS BESTTTT. YALL KNOW REAL MUSIC.
bieber GOATed fr
We need Jamal Bieber back😪
jaden smith - love me like you do ft justin bieber 🙌👀
agreeee 100% omg
We might all need to thank Selena for this masterpiece, great muse 😂❤
For what exactly? He didn’t even wrote this album
Gurl??? @@syre171
Period!!
Thank who? Bfr
i’m sorry you just had to be there when this dropped it went platinum in my house
thanks for this, love this album
I‘m nervous I need y‘all to like this cause I love journals and I love y‘all😭 justice next in my opinion
His best album of his whole discography.
Also can we give a shout out to POOH BEAR!!!!! He really supported Justin’s writing process
I always say that. He has the best songs with that man. Like angels speak and hard to face reality
My favorite album 💜 very timeless
Journal's solidified my love for bieb's music once I listened to it. I was hellbent on hating him too. lol Just couldn't after that album. I loved almost every song on that album. Change me has me saaaangin in my car, you hear me??? But seriously, it's really hard to even choose a favorite track from it. Once JB showed me he could do rnb? Instantly sold me lol
Swap it Out was the song that doesn’t do what you describe. He changes up towards the end. The last 1 minute and 30 is different.
omg this came like a gift right before my exams week, thanks guys! i was really excited for you to react to journals ever since tiktok bc it's my favorite jb album, but it's been a loooong time since i actually listened to it all back to back, so it was kind of a shock how bad the ufo songs are lmao, just wiped them out of my memory 😅. you learn to enjoy rollercoaster and memphis eventually, but it does take the right mood to do it.

Justin’s vocals are everything
