Songs like <em data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"947\">All I Can Take<\/em> and <em data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"965\">Speed Demon<\/em> set a mellow tone early on, showcasing his evolving artistry.

Hits like <em data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1244\">Sorry<\/em> and <em data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1255\">Stay<\/em> briefly reignited the audience\u2019s energy, while a short medley of classics including <em data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1346\">Baby<\/em>, <em data-start=\"1348\" data-end=\"1365\">Never Say Never<\/em>, and <em data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1390\">Beauty and a Beat <\/em>sparked moments of excitement. However, these glimpses of the past felt too brief for longtime fans who had waited years for this milestone performance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1915\">Visually, the singer opted for a stripped-back stage presence, dressed casually in a hoodie and shorts. While some appreciated the laid-back vibe, others felt it lacked the star power expected from a Coachella headliner. Social media quickly lit up with mixed reactions, with some praising his vocal delivery and others criticizing the overall energy and song selection.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Justin Bieber did the impossible \u2026 he managed to dethrone Katseye with the worst coachella performance of all time <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7c9Zoy49jJ\">pic.twitter.com\/7c9Zoy49jJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eren (@erenfromtargets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/erenfromtargets\/status\/2043219264568459651?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1917\" data-end=\"2185\">Beyond Bieber\u2019s set, the festival itself continued to thrive with surprise appearances and collaborations. <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Jennifer Lopez<\/span><\/span> stunned fans by joining <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">David Guetta<\/span><\/span> on stage, adding a burst of excitement to the weekend lineup.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2187\" data-end=\"2478\">Ultimately, the <strong data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2242\">Justin Bieber Coachella performance<\/strong> reflected an artist at a crossroads balancing his past hits with his present identity.
