Fast forward to 2010, and it’s now Bieber mania. We’re talking about Justin Bieber, the teen sensation who will soon invade Maryland.
Weijia Jiang reports Bieber fever is a good thing for Maryland.
“I even made my own T-shirt and shorts that say Bieber fever,” said Victoria Willis, Bieber fan.
It’s infecting the Maryland State Fairgrounds. Bieber fever as in wild for teen heartthrob Justin Bieber.
“He’s cute,” said Chelsea Wilfong, 9-years-old.
He’ll be performing Sunday night.
“We’ve sold tickets in most of the states in the country,” said Andy Cashman, Assistant General Manager Md. State Fair.
In April, 12,000 tickets sold out in just 18 minutes at $47.50 a pop.
Though some are available online now, you have to shell out double or triple that.
Fair organizers say it’s a phenomenon they’ve never seen, resulting in a huge economic boost not only for vendors, but for the entire state.
“With rooms, hotels, food, and travel, I think that’s great,” said Cashman.
If you don’t have Bieber fever or you don’t even know who Justin Bieber is, don’t feel bad because you’re not alone.
“Who’s Justin Bieber? Is that that little kid?” asked one woman.
That so-called little kid from Canada has been an international chart topper since R&B star Usher found his videos on YouTube.
Three years ago, Bieber’s mom posted several clips, which quickly racked up millions of hits.
“Like baby, baby, baby oh, like baby,” sang Wilfong.
Even David Letterman gives him shout-outs.
And it’s not just the singing. Even his hair is famous.
“I started growing it out a month ago,” said Matthew Cross, Bieber hair fan.
Cross said he did it because of Bieber.
The fever is so hot, you can even vote for your favorite Marylander sporting the do on The Baltimore Sun’s website.
Bieber’s first CD titled “My World” has been in stores for less than a year
