Justin Bieber – Rascal Flatts 'That Should Be Me' video; glimpse into future

Does the Justin Bieber – Rascal Flatts 'That Should Be Me' video offer glimpse of future Bieber?

At first glance a Rascal Flatts - Justin Bieber collaboration is a head-scratcher. In Justin Bieber's 'That Should Be Me' featuring Rascal Flatts we might just get a glimpse of what Justin Bieber's sound could be down the road, especially when you watch the video that was released just this week.

Watch 'That Should Be Me' here.

The re-mixed version of the Bieber tune adding Country music chart-toppers Rascal Flatts appears on Justin's 'My World 2.0' which is currently #8 on the Billboard 200.   Here the song is a great mix of Bieber's youthful sound with Gary LeVox's more mature soaring voice.  You could imagine Bieber saying... that could be me 15-20 years from now, vocally. 

You have to admit this version of the song rocks and is a county-pop crossover that could and deserves considerable airplay.   This isn't 'Baby Baby' or 'Never Say Never'.   This is Bieber for a more mature audience and perhaps gives us a peek at what Justin will be 5-10 years down the road.

One thing is for sure, if this is the direction he heads, he might win a room full of Grammys.
