Justin Bieber & Luis Fonsi's "Despacito"
Justin Bieber jumps on the remix of Luis Fonsi's chart-conquering "Despacito."

Justin Bieber really needs to learn the words to “Despacito.” The superstar already found himself in hot water in May when he performed the chart-topping smash at 10ak in New York and simply mumbled “blah blah blah” during the chorus. He wasn’t about to make the same mistake at the Summerburst Festival in Stockholm over the weekend, admitting to the crowd that he can’t remember the lyrics to his own verse. That generated a wave of boos and one fan went as far as throwing a plastic bottle at the “2U” hitmaker’s head.

“I can’t… I can’t do ‘Despacito’ ’cause I don’t even know it,” Justin told festival-goers. “I don’t know the song. I can’t do it.” While it’s extremely uncool to aim a projectile at anyone (hopefully that person was removed from the venue), it’s mind-boggling that the singer hasn’t bothered to learn the song given the previous controversy and the fact that it is the leading contender for Song Of The Summer — topping the charts around the globe and setting streaming and YouTube records. Watch the unfortunate incident below.
