JB angry with fans???

So, if you haven't heard about this story yet I'll be glad to break the news to you. On October 29th Justin Bieber had a concert in Oslo, Norway. Bieber was in mid-performance when he tossed a flannel on the stage to clean up a spill of some sorts. When he got close to the edge of the stage to start cleaning up, fans began to shriek and grab at his feet in excitement of how close he was.

It was then when Bieber yelled to the fans, "Yo, yo! What are you doing? Stop it!" He was angry that the fans were grabbing him, he just wanted to clean up the spill and get on with the show.

As the fans continued to reach towards him he later yelled out, "Listen to me! Are you listening to me?" Some fans even shouted "Yes!", you could then hear some giggles and that's when the Biebs let lose. "Guys, never mind. I'm done. I'm not doing the show," he said as he turned around and walked off the stage.

On the same day he sent out his apology on instagram followed by this picture:

His caption was: "Sadly it's been a rough week for me, long days, no sleep, while having to be "on" as they would say for cameras fans etc. In no way did I mean to come across mean, bu chose to end the show as the people in the front row would not listen. Hopefully people will understand where I am coming from. I don't always handle things the right way but I'm human and I'm working on getting better at responding not reacting. Unfortunately people were affected by this as am I. For the people in the back I am so sorry and for anyone I may have disappointed im sorry. Sorry for wasting the tv people's time I'll be sure to make it up to you next time on tour.. With love Justin."
 
Earlier that same day, Bieber also walked out of a Spanish interview. Are his actions this day excusable? Should he just be forgiven for all these people who he let down? What do you think?
 
I would be so frustrated with him if I bought tickets to go to his concert and he didn't even get to perform, instead he stomped off the stage because "fans couldn't control themselves". Sorry, but if I paid big bucks to see you perform front row, I'm going to make the most out of it.
 
I don't believe Biebs can really be angry with his fans for getting excited for how close he was to them. I understand that he's had a long day and he's probably just tired, but this is not acceptable for a person as famous as him.
 
When you become famous, you should understand that fans are going to be pushy sometimes, but you have to deal with the situation the right way.
 
This couldn't have worse timing because a few days earlier the Biebs released his new single, "Sorry", and so far it's been doing really well on the charts. In fact as of right now it's number 3 on iTunes Pop Chart. The day it was released it shot up straight to number 1.
 
Did these incidents affect Bieber's social and moral standings? Be sure to tell me what you guys think.

Zendaya is PERFECT the way she is!

Zendaya has always been a strong believer in loving the skin you're in, and the fact that beauty is within.

The singer recently posed for photos with the magazine, Modeliste. the publications have recently debuted the final photographs, but they were different from the originals.

Zendaya would never stand for being photoshopped, so she took to instagram to express her feelings toward the retouched photos.

She posted the photos side by side:

 
Her caption was: "Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated. These are the things that make women self conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have. Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self love. So I took it upon myself to release the real pic (right side) and I love it."
 
Zendaya is truly a special young woman in todays pop world. She's constantly reminding women and men that it's not about the looks, but it's about what's on the inside.
 
The magazine understood her message loud and clear and they took the retouched photo down. She thanked them for taking down the images.
 
We are so lucky to have women like Zendaya in our pop world because those are the type of people that remind us that celebrities are just normal people too and that we don't need to hold them to a superficial level of worth.
 
 
 
Quote of the day: "The best thing is to realize that you are who you are and you gotta work with what you got." - Zendaya

#ThrowbackThursday

So a little over a year ago I witnessed Katy Perry live for my fourth time. But, this specific concert was different. My parents got me tickets to see her as close as anyone could be, I was in the reflection section! Now, for the Prismatic World Tour the stage was shaped as a triangle, and I was actually IN the triangle. This is what the stage looked like:

 
And I was in the section labeled "GA PIT". Now, from watching so many videos of her previous concerts I knew exactly where to stand in the triangle to maximize my interactions with her. I stood at the very tip of the triangle and was joined by many other excited KatyCats waiting to experience the best time of our lives. It was August 2, and she had just played at the TD Garden the night before, so this would be her last day in Boston until she left for Philadelphia.
 
The concert started and all you could hear were fans screaming in anticipation for Katy Perry to come out on stage, and she finally did to her hit single, "Roar". The amount of excitement and joy that was present overfilled the entire arena. Throughout the concert all the fans became one. It didn't matter why you were there, where you came from, how much money you have, everything became unimportant, and we all sang Katy Perry songs together and had an amazing time.
 
Here is a photograph showing exactly how close she was to me at one point during the show:
 
 
 
There were times when she would come super close to the fans standing in the Reflection Section and at those times she was legitimately 5 feet away from me. When she sings her song, "Unconditionally", she is known to take fans letters who are in the pit, and that is exactly what she did. She took my letter that night and I could not be happier about how that night turned out! I am so lucky that one fan caught the special moment on video! Here it is:
 
 
 
You can hear my scream all the way across the arena, so I think you can tell how excited I was for that moment to happen. I am so grateful that I got to see my idol in concert so many times and up close and personal. August 2nd, AKA the greatest night of my life!  
 
 
Quote of the day: "I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest." - Katy Perry
