    A 28 Year Old Belieber
    POSTED

     

    Definition of ‘Belieber’ according to Wiktionary: A fan or supporter of Justin Bieber (pop singer, born 1994); a Justin Bieber fanatic.

    After umming and arring over a crappy airplane dinner one year ago I made the decision that would ultimately alter my opinion completely on a little guy that I thought was a bit of a joke and not holding back here, was high on the 'celebs I’d like to slap list’ and the brunt of many jokes between friends.

    This particular day is still as clear as day in my mind. What else do you do on a 13 hour flight to LA before the need to pop a Valium and a muscle relaxant and pass out? A movie is probably your best option right? And what happened to be available for viewing on the inflight entertainment system? JUSTIN BIEBERS film length doco ’Never Say Never’ “nawwww the little Biebs” … see how I think that now? I sure as hell didn’t at the time! After some coaxing from a friend who had started watching it and was surprisingly impressed I did the deed and began the Bieber voyage.

    After two hours of some mixed emotions; surprised, enthralled, awkward at times and a few tears it was actually an eye opener and made me realise this kid is pretty damn talented, professional and has always wanted and worked hard for what is now the Bieber phenomenon. The consequence of this viewing resulted in many hours of random YouTube searches of the Biebs surprising his fans (because it’s bloody hilarious … Case in point) & discovered he counts Jimmy Fallon and Ellen as good friends ANNND appeared on Saturday Night Live skits (they’re all classified as ‘cool’ right? … the kid is a crack up!) As well as a 60 dollar tee purchase from the states which took 3 long months to arrive but was well worth it. And then the Pice de résistance! Having the opportunity to see this little legend at his Sydney secret show recently … On wait for it … The same day exactly 1 year ago that a new Belieber was born, WEIRD I know but I think it was just meant to be…

    Call me a loser, tell me I have shit taste in music, tell me I’m a creep because you think I want to bonk Bieber (totally not true btw … just want to pinch his little cheeks) but I’m just a fan like I’m a fan of indie bands, rock bands, R'n'B artists (that are seen to be ‘cool’ by the ‘cool’ peeps) … Why is it such a taboo to be a Belieber …?

    The kid is growing up … his new material has him going down the ‘Justin Timberlake’ path, who after a less than ideal start (Hello NSYNC!) obviously now seen as a major player in the music industry and people are gagging for him to quit the movies and release a new album (myself included), girls want to shag him and guys want to be him … my prediction is that Biebs will follow in the footsteps of the ol’ Juzzy T and in time it won’t be seen as ‘uncool’ to be a fan. For this reason, instead of hiding my appreciation for Biebs I will continue my drunken Bieber rants when people put shit on me for liking decent pop music and hopefully one day I can say ‘I TOLD YOU SO’.

    In saying that, I truly do encourage any music fan to watch this doco …I guarantee you will enjoy it and if not a Belieber by the end … You will at least be crossing this guy off your own 'celebs I’d like to slap list’ … Now I will just take myself back to the bar and have another drink… I’m obviously heading off on one of my drunken Bieber lover rants …
