Bieber’s voice is now deeper than it was when he recorded his albums because of puberty. The singer discussing his vocals remarked, It cracks. Like every teenage boy, I’m dealing with it and I have the best vocal coach in the world. Some of the notes I hit on Baby I can’t hit anymore. We have to lower the key when I sing live.
