Justin Bieber turns up when you least expect it. The 21-year-old superstar threw down an impassioned version of Boyz II Men’s 1994 classic “I’ll Make Love to You” on stage at the W hotel in Hollywood on Sunday night (May 24.)
The W was hosting its regular jazz night. Among the flood of clips that hit the Internet after the Biebs’ surprise performance, the 21-year-old is seen watching other patrons jam. One of these, also sang a Boyz II Men song.
Evidently inspired by the occasion, a Fedora-wearing Biebs got up in front of the cheering crowd and tackled the Babyface-written track — which, as every singer knows — takes no prisoners.
The verdict? Bieber sounds impressive on the track and came across as personable on stage. After his labored Wango Tango set earlier this month, the heartthrob is continuing his habit of randomly swinging by small venues and singing for whomsoever happens to be there. Seemingly, just for the love of it.
Take a listen below to different videos of Bieber’s rendition of “I’ll Make Love You” to get a fuller picture.

Another blood, sweat, and tears moment.
At about 3:37 minutes into the track, the Biebs humped the stage.
Bieber collaborated with Boyz II Men on his 2011 Christmas album, Under The Mistletoe .
The vocal group and then 17-year-old united on the song “Fa La La.”
Last week, the Biebs bust out another Boyz II Men hit (“The End Of The Road”) during his turn as the latest guest to take a “Carpool Karaoke” ride with British host James Corden on The Late Late Show .
Since its posting last Thursday, the clip has gone viral and racked up over 15 million views on YouTube .
While some among The W crowd didn’t care for Bieber’s “I’ll Make Love To You” cameo — based on the audience reception — the majority loved it.
