Album cover: Justin Bieber, “Under the Mistletoe”

Justin Bieber

Under the Mistletoe

1.8 out of 10

The (white) elephant (gift) in the room is that Under the Mistletoe, sounding more like a soundtrack to Valentine’s Day than Christmas, consistently substitutes holiday materialism with a far more pernicious commodification of women and then expects listeners to celebrate its multi-millionaire teenaged singer as a romantic. Save your receipt.
