Justin Bieber fans were treated to a free, unannounced concert yesterday.

In advance of his performance tomorrow night at the MTV Video Music Awards, the teen singing sensation rehearsed outdoors for close to two hours near the Staples Center in L.A.

Bieber and his young back-up dancers went over every step of his performance, including his (scheduled) arrival in a red 1957 Chevy.

While rehearsing his routine for the song, “Baby,” Bieber moonwalked and practiced a drum solo, though it didn’t go so smoothly. He moaned, ”What’s wrong with my drums? Like, I don’t hear anything and it should be loud… This has to be, like, an epic moment. It’s ending the song.”
He also later griped, “The vocals are too loud in my ear and I can’t hear the groove.”

Bieber, of course, was only trying to make sure everything was perfectly executed for his big performance tomorrow outside the Nokia Theatre, where the Video Music Awards will be handed out.

Anxiously preparing for what's sure to be one of the biggest weekends of his life, Justin Bieber was busy partaking in an MTV interview in Los Angeles, CA on Friday afternoon (September 10).

Always keeping it cool, the "Love Me" hitmaker charmed the cameras while riding in the back of a stylish red and white Cadillac while wearing a matching red and white football style Bieber jacket.

Nominated for Best New Artist and also slated to perform on Sunday night at the VMAs (September 12), Justin tweeted of the day's efforts, "just wrapped up another VMA rehearsal and got the gear together...excited for u guys to see what we put 2gether...something crazy for sure"

A while later, the 16-year-old wrote, "Been at rehearsals on the outside stage at the Staples Center all day for the VMA's!! We are getting it together! 2 more days!!"

Enjoy the pictures of Justin Bieber out cruisin' around LA (September 10).

First they collaborated on "Eenie Meenie," and then they hit the road together on Justin Bieber's My World Tour. Now, the pair are set to release a mixtape together -- which Kingston teased would feature Biebs' sweet vocals and some rhymes.

"It should be out in, like, three weeks," Kingston told MTV News. "It's amazing! It's the exclusive. Justin Bieber, Sean Kingston, it's called Our World. It's amazing."

Kingston even teased a song or two fans will hear on the soon-to-be-released mixtape of covers. "We did [Travie McCoy's] 'Billionaire.' We did [Soulja Boy Tell'em's] 'Pretty Boy Swag.' We did so much stuff. We just took the beat over and made it our own."

In fact, Bieber, who has rapped at times, will be displaying his skills on the mixtape. "Yeah, he's doing some rapping," he teased. "[He's] pretty tight, nice for someone who doesn't do it that much."

Until the mixtape hits the shelves, Kingston is gearing up to support his pal at the VMAs, where Bieber is performing and up for Best New Artist. And he even has a date in mind. "I think I'm gonna [bring] my mom," he said. "After the VMAs, I drop her back off, and then it's time to party."

Speaking of that party known as the VMAs, the night's host, Chelsea Handler, admitted that Bieber's music really speaks to her. "He knows so much about romance," she said. "If you listen to the lyrics of 'Baby, Baby, Baby,' or is it just called 'Baby'? I have to say it three times, 'cause it makes my heart thump. He's obviously been around the block. I mean, I don't know why he's pretending he's not a sexual deviant, because he is."
