Five years ago, a delightfully baby-faced Justin Bieber participated in a drum-off with the Roots’ Questlove on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. (Seriously, so baby-faced. Look at his baby face!) This week, Bieber returned to Fallon’s show — which is now, of course, The Tonight Show — to challenge Questlove to a rematch.
Bieber is definitely not a 16-year-old human puppy anymore, so the whole thing is less adorable than it was in 2010, but it was actually pretty impressive. Biebs totally held his own against Questlove, a very skilled professional drummer.
During his Tonight Show visit, Bieber also discussed his emotional VMAs moment and sang a country version of “Where Are U Now.”
