Where Are Justin Bieber's Taylor Swift, Kanye West Collabs?

Justin Bieber enlisted all types of artists to work with him on his latest musical endeavor, Believe. While many of those hip-hop leaning collaborations made the album, there were a number of other duets that got left on the cutting-room floor.

So, what exactly happened to those tracks? MTV News got the full scoop from Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, during a recent interview.

Scooter Braun On The Evolution Of Justin Bieber

Bieber shared the studio with country cutie Taylor Swift to work on a song. In fact, his lady love, Selena Gomez, even had some high praise for the never-released track. In the end, the Swift tune just didn't fit in with the final vibe of the album, Braun explained: "It didn't go on Believe, because there's another record they want to work on. So, it just didn't make sense at this time, and the song they did just didn't make sense on this album."

In addition to Swift, Bieber was also trying to make something happen with Maroon 5 leading man Adam Levine. "We talked with Adam Levine about doing stuff," Braun recalled. "And he wanted to, but with everything else, we could just never get the studio time in together."

Then there was the highly anticipated collaboration between Bieber and Kanye West. Despite being pictured in the studio with Yeezy, in the end, Bieber's track with the rapper "didn't make sense at this time," Braun said.

While whatever those two cooked up in the studio might forever remain a mystery, Bieber recalled just what Kanye had in mind for the pop superstar's musical evolution. "Basically, he was just talking about going out of the box and doing things that are different," he said. "And he's like, 'I want to just make you cool.' He wants to just basically do records that people wouldn't necessarily think I would do."

Justin Bieber Proving His Haters Wrong With 'Good Music'

Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber break up, Tokyo retreat

Well it seems like Singer Justin Bieber and Actress Selena Gomez are used to jetting into one city after another without actually getting to see any sights. They are in Tokyo today, and have decided to take the day off, together. The couple rarely gets the chance to simply be tourists in a foreign city. It is about time they took some time to enjoy their world traveling.

Pop Star Justin Bieber tweeted about his about his day, “Great day exploring in Tokyo. Ready to go hard tomorrow.” Although the young couple were  obviously jet lagged, that did not stop them from taking in a few of the sights. Selena Gomez scrapped her standard high heels for a pair of boots, with flat soles for her walk about the city. Selena Gomez was still wearing the sleeveless jean jacket and black leggings she flew into Japan wearing for her outing.

Singer Justin Bieber opted not to wear his jean jacket, and thankfully, removed that bandana from his head. Justin Bieber kept it casual with a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt and sensible red Converse shoes for his stroll. In one fan photo, you can see Justin with his hand on Selena Gomez’s back as they walk through the streets. It was probably a relief to go somewhat unnoticed during their sightseeing adventure.

Of course, there are still a few who recognized the couple and asked for pictures. Justin and Selena obliged, and you can see a couple of the pictures here. According to the caption, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez dined at the Harajuku restaurant.

Tomorrow, Justin Bieber will be back to work promoting his Believe album and tour. Selena Gomez’s presence with Justin Bieber in Japan proves these two are still going strong. With that the love affair Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez share is something special. We know Justin Bieber will never find a more deserving woman like Selena Gomez. Puppy love has blossom into true love.
