Remember when your parents wouldn't let you hang out with your boyfriend or girlfriend on a school night and it just felt like the whole world was ending, OMG? Chris Brown, with Justin Bieber's assist, has taken that concept literally in Chris Brown's "Next 2 You" Colin Tilley-directed video, turning upper Manhattan into an apocalyptic wasteland complete with burning cars, lightning storms and a giant chasm that might just lead to hell.

"I'll be there when you're insecure/let you know that you're always lovely," Bieber sings as he stands on top of a building, surveying the carnage. How very... juxtaposition-y. There are some sensual flashbacks, a lot of things are on fire, and everyone is scared. Chris Brown's girlfriend gets hit by a car. (WTH!??!) BUT SHE'S OK! What else? There's a lot of pointing. And perfect eye contact with the camera. Despite the scorched earth and fire and brimstone, liberal use of a green screen and effects, and general damnation, Justin Bieber and Chris Brown don't necessarily save the world, but they do save love.

Is love worth saving?
