The Biebs

I have to give it up to Justin Bieber, he put on quite a performance. I have covered many concerts for the Trib but the sound that emits from thousands of prepubescent girls as they see Justin Bieber come out on stage was like nothing I had ever heard before. It's somewhere between the sound of a dental drill and nails scratching on a chalk board. It was terrifying but secretly I love covering stuff like this. The fans of Justin Bieber are kitschy and part of an interesting cultural movement centered around the worship of a boy that sounds like a girl. It's cool, I was there once. I can still sitting floor with the latest issue of Teen Bop cutting out the faces for the shrines of what ever teen idol I was stalking at the time.
