Justin Bieber's 'laptop' Coachella set

Despite bringing out guests like The Kid Laroi and Tems, Justin Bieber's return to the stage was marred by technical choices that left the desert crowd underwhelmed.

Fans took to social media to question a rumored $10 million payday for a performance that relied heavily on pre-recorded clips and minimalist staging.

The set was intended to honor his YouTube roots but was instead branded by some as the 'worst in the festival's history.' However, some loyal Beliebers defended the artist, citing his ongoing health journey as a reason for the unconventional format.
