Synopsis
Which artist preformed "Bad", which inspired Justin Beiber?
As Long as You Love Me (Justin Bieber song)
The video starts off with some flashbacks foreshadowing of what's going to be shown or happen in the video. Then presently, at a mansion gate, Bieber appears as a loyal-but-troublemaking boyfriend to the daughter of an overprotective father, played by Madsen. In what can be seen as a prelude to the main events of the video, Madsen finds the words "You r so sexy" written on his daughter's neck. Outside their house, Madsen threatens Bieber to stay away from his daughter, despite Bieber's insistence that he loves her. Bieber and his love interest secretly plan to meet at a train station late at night, to escape the clutches of her father. However, their plans are foiled when Madsen finds his daughter's bedroom empty and races off, only to catch up with them in the middle of the street. Bieber is assaulted by Madsen multiple times, only to rise to his feet and stand up again as the daughter watches and screams in horror. As the video fades, representing that Bieber is passing out from the pain, Madsen drags his daughter to their car. Throughout the video, scenes of Bieber and his love interest in various scenes (such as on her bed, at the park and on a rooftop) are shown, displaying their love. The video also features a complicated dance routine performed in a parking garage, which is rumored by multiple critics to be a nod to the video for Michael Jackson's "Bad" (coincidentally, Madsen also appeared in the video for Jackson's "You Rock My World").
