Having been discovered via a Justin Bieber Video on you tube, Justin Bieber and his handlers have decided to continue using this media to reach his fans. Justin has gone on tours to promote his music, made TV guestings and performed with other artists. But he continues to release videos on you tube because that is how he is better able to reach his fans. His manager Scooter Braun says that these uploaded videos are recorded with ordinary cameras, much like any other teen-ager does. This makes it better for his fan base to be able to identify with the Justin Bieber video they are watching.
Justin’s Fans
Justin at 17 has grown-up and he no longer looks too much like a teeny-bopper, with his new hairstyle and all. But Justin’s fan base stays the same and these are girls of all ages. It is amazing to see how not only pre-teens and teens scream and cry at his concerts. He has fans who are tiny at ages 5 to 7 that they have to be carried in their mother’s arms during a concert. But watch they do, and they dance and sing that famous song from a Justin Bieber video along with their idol.
When asked why they like him, even the little ones say they love him because he’s cute, they love his hair, his songs, everything about him. When he sings fast songs they dance with him and when he sings mellow or acoustic songs and accompanies himself on the guitar or the piano, they swoon and cry. Whenever Justin goes on tour to promote his music, all the venues sell out. There have even been incidents when the local authorities like the fire marshall cancelled his appearance because of fear for the safety of the people. Girls are not content to just watch Justin Bieber video they want to see him in person.
Sold-out Concerts
An hour or two prior to Justin’s concerts, his handlers go around looking for people who have been unable to buy tickets and they give away tickets to these people. Usually these are the best seats, first three rows at that. When he had his Madison Square Gardens concert, the tickets were sold out in 22 minutes and although he has sold out all his concert venues but for an artist to sell out Madison Square Gardens you know you have arrived. He told his manager he would work hard and do it in a year, and he did. He has gone a long way from his mom’s homemade Justin Bieber video.
The week prior to the MSG concert, Justin was sick and had to cancel a performance in Syracuse, NY in order to make sure he would be ok for the big one. He had a bad throat infection and his voice had been damaged, and what would a singer be without his voice? He had hurt himself because he’s a normal teen-ager who on his down time likes to horse around with his friends, screaming and yelling. He had told his manager not to let his childhood be taken away from him. Hopefully the man he is becoming will not lose the endearing qualities the child in the first Justin Bieber video had.
