Good
evening readers!
It’s been a
long week of college work, and it’s only Wednesday! So i thought I’d choose a
more light-hearted and less serious topic today.
I’m going to talk about Justin Bieber’s “appalling” antics at his London O2 Arena
show last night. Media reported he was two hours late taking to the stage, he
was due to arrive on stage at 8:30 but did not grace fans with his presence
until 10:20. And the venue itAs an act which was mainly aimed at children and
young teens the 19 year old superstar should have known that this was way past
bedtime for his young audience, especially on a school night!
There were
many disgruntled fans and angry parents in the 20,000 audience and of course,
because of the way social media is today, they all expressed this anger on
Twitter!
One seemingly
angry parent tweeted from the concert “Daughter and Nieces at O2 to see Justin
Bieber – Still not on stage at 10.20 on a school night – That's just taking the
piss!" Former Corrie star Wendi Peters also tweeted “I shall have an
extremely moody daughter tomorrow.. Livid!!”
It soon caught fire and the press picked up
and today there are articles in a range of online media such as independent.co.uk,
dailymail.co.uk, rollingstone.com and guardian.co.uk were written by journalists
today.
The Bieber
himself wasn’t slow on getting his opinion on board and tweeted numerous times
this morning to his 35
million followers defending
his actions. He said the following:
“waking up
to a crazy day. Day 2. 02. #London #BELIEVEtour”
“since i
have been here it hasnt been easy with the press at times but I have loved it.
so let me say this...”
“last night
i was scheduled after 3 opening acts to go on stage at 935 not 830 but because
of some technical issues i got on at 10:10..so...”
“i was 40
min late to stage. there is no excuse for that and I apologize for anyone we
upset. However it was great show and Im proud of that”
“and
tonight we will run on time and look forward to putting on an amazing show for
everyone in attendance.”
“my relationship
with the media is not always easy but im trying. Im all about the music and the
performance and i respect my fans.”
“i never
have any intent to upset or let anyone down. and Im not okay with things being
exaggerated. once again sorry for anyone upset.”
“now we
have a show to do today and Im gonna focus on the positive and put on a great show
tonight here in London”
“NIGHT 2 at
the 02 is gonna be even better. get ready. Thanks”
The
recently turned 19 year old may just be recovering from his birthday celebrations
at the weekend. Parents who paid on average £70 a ticket
probably won’t be happy with this apology but he did the right thing my
apologising quickly and explaining the situation. I guess his true Beliebers will stick with him regardless!
Thanks for
