Justin Bieber deals with wardrobe malfunction, aims to last in showbiz - Manila Bulletin

<div readability="113.506882396">  <div class="img_box img_left" readability="7">JUSTIN BIEBER meets with the local media moments before his concert. (Photo by Ali Vicoy)</div>MANILA, Philippines -- Justin Bieber is crossing over the 15-minute fame mark to lasting stardom. YouTube's biggest contribution to pop culture included Manila in his crossover journey May 10 at the SM Mall of Asia for his "My World" concert tour. YouTube is not the only Internet tool that has kept Bieber's moment aflame. The hardworking 17-year-old also has mastered the art of communication with his supporters via regular, personal and interactive updates through his official Twitter portal @justinbieber. Hours before the "Never Say Never" singer faced Manila media at the SM Mall of Asia Imax where Bulletin Entertainment booked a slot courtesy of the pop star's local label MCA Music, he tweeted: "Don't spread gossip and don't spread rumors about others… I'm a kid and I know that," in retaliation to an alleged claim by "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" actress Marg Helgenberger that Bieber was being a brat during a recent encounter on the set of the TV series. The American Music Award winner added, "Rumors are just that… rumors. In the end if you just be kind and be yourself, people will know who you are. That goes for anyone. I know who I am and sometimes people are just going to say what they want. It's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind." He followed up the post with this re-tweet: "There will always be people telling you can't do something. There will always be haters. Just keep smiling." Wardrobe malfunction The same social media technology that makes Bieber available to his fans is the same online stratosphere that makes it easier for haters to attack him. Fortunately for Bieber, the "Baby" hitmaker felt zero hate in front of the local media during a press gathering mere hours before the concert. Those who attended Bieber's press conference had to follow stricter than usual rules: No cameras, no autographs and even the media IDs the press were handed during the pre-concert huddle had to be surrendered after the Q&A. Bieber's entourage probably became more cautious after a fan was able to throw eggs on stage mid-show of Bieber's Sydney concert in Australia. Call-time for the Manila press con was 2:30 p.m. but at 3:40, host Mo Twister told the media to hang on 20-25 minutes more because Bieber was dealing with wardrobe malfunction. "What matters most is music. This is where I get to relate all my emotions. My music will change but it will still be about music," Bieber told Bulletin Entertainment when asked if he had worked out a blueprint for longevity. Bieber has no qualms facing the surreal Hollywood lifestyle he leads. True to the spirit of his youth, he said, "I get overwhelmed [with fame] but I'm having a lot of fun. I'm just enjoying it." The teenage star also offered his music to his critics. "I'm 17, not yet an adult, yes and my music suits people my age but it's [also] for everybody [even for my critics]. Love is universal." He credited his mentor, Usher, for the latter's guidance. "He is amazing as a mentor guiding me in the right direction. [What we have is] like a family relationship." When asked about how he chooses the artists he collaborates with, Bieber said, "I collaborate with people I like." Bieber performed his hits and signature stage moves Tuesday night before thousands of screaming Filipino fans. From his very first album ("My World") to his recent "My Worlds-The Collection" and "Never Say Never-The Remixes," Bieber's arsenal of chart-toppers has been on constant commercial climb garnering a record-high seven-time platinum award for the combined sales of "My World," "My World 2.0," "My Worlds," "My Worlds-The Collection" and "Never Say Never." All CDs are currently available in the country via MCA Music. (with report from Yugel Losorata) </div>

Justin Bieber sick during Manila concert - ABS CBN News

<div readability="118.81224361"> <img hspace="7" height="219" align="left" width="358" vspace="7" src="http://cms.abs-cbnnews.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/imagecache_std/a_images/people/celebrity/bieber_justin.jpg" />MANILA, Philippines – Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber was ill while performing for his Filipino fans at SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds on Tuesday night, American blogger and television personality Perez Hilton reported. In his blog, Hilton wrote that Bieber was so sick that he vomited backstage "in between songs." Bieber, Hilton said, has been diagnosed with bad chest infection even before his one-night Manila concert started. Quoting his source, the American blogger said the 17-year-old singer "was advised to either cancel the show or do an abbreviated set… But he insisted on going on. So they cut down the show, but once the show started he kept going." "Bieber ended up doing his normal, 90-minute set for his Filipino concertgoers! Despite being very ill! Thankfully, though, Justin has the next two days off so he can and should and plans to rest," Hilton wrote. On Tuesday night, hundreds of his fans, collectively known as "Beliebers," showed up at SM Mall of Asia to watch the teen superstar perform. Most of his young Filipino fans were wearing violet shirts with his name written on it. Violet is said to be Bieber's signature color. "@justinbieber we lined up this evening at #MOA ¤bcoz of you ¤bcoz we #love u," tweeted Itsmeadrean. Local celebrities, including sisters Claudine Barretto and Marjorie Barretto, also trooped to the venue. Despite being sick, Bieber did not disappoint. On Twitter, Filipino Beliebers were all praises for the young singer after the concert. "WeThankBiebs for continuing the show last night, filipinos salute u. u mind ur fans than urself. #mahalkita @justinbieber," BiebsRubikscube Sherwina tweeted. trixiapereyra echoed: "JUst Got HOme From #moa.. fans of @justinbieber Is Intense .. For Waiting .. BUt IT A relief When We Heard YOUr Voice@justinbieber." RytHm05 also tweeted: "@justinbieber nice job...you made manila a lil'bit crazy about ur performance on stage in MOA." "WeThankBiebs for visiting our country! =) We enjoyed last nights concert at MOA. =) Please visit us again @justinbieber," said IamSELLETOTS. "but im glad and happy than jb's concert in manila ( MOA ) is a successful concert....!!! congrats jb...wish you luck..!" chrisyllerose said. His concert was the most talked about topic on the Internet that the hashtag MOA made it to the worldwide trending topics of microblogging site "Twitter." Bieber, for his part, was glad to have performed in the Philippines. He tweeted: "Even when im sick feels good to come on here and see the love. gonna rest up and hope to get better. ITHANKYOU" Not in the mood? The Canadian singer left the Philippines for Hong Kong around 10 a.m. on Wednesday to continue his world tour concert. Before boarding, he also signed autographs and met some teenagers, who were able to secure a security pass at the exit of presidential lounge at the arrival area. The singer reportedly told an airport cameraman to back off. Bieber was the last to board Philippine Airlines Flight PR 318, whose flight was almost delayed after the passengers and airline personnel mobbed him to get his autograph.

Justin Bieber tweets in Filipino - Manila Bulletin

<div readability="118.162665066">  <div class="img_box img_left" readability="8">Justin Bieber had his fans all guessing if he's already in Manila for his world tour concert as this photo shows his alleged arrival at the NAIA.</div>MANILA, Philippines – Canadian singing sensation Justin Bieber never fails to amaze his fans---including Pinoys, who are likely more enamored with him after he tweeted in Filipino recently. On May 7, Bieber tweeted, "Next stop.. Manila, Philippines.. #MyWorldTour?! Mahal Kita." This was followed by a retweet of his Pinoy fans. Itsjasaransay posted this message, which was then retweeted by justinbieber: @justinbieber can't wait 'till you come here in Manila :) I love you." Another retweet from the singer was this post from Im_saaam: "I can't believe that @justinbieber is coming to Manila in less than a day! And on may 10 I'll be in the same room as him! So excited!" Bieber is definitely a crowd pleaser but along the way, he has also committed minor booboos. During his concert in Malaysia, for example, an unnamed blogger, who claimed his friend was able to view the singer's error when it allegedly happened, was quoted in a report. "Justin Bieber staged a very successful jampacked concert in Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last night April 21… But one funny 'boo-boo' happened when he showed up on stage and greeted his Malaysian fans 'Hello Manila!'" The incident had Twitterworld in unimaginable frenzy as fans and detractors had a day voicing out their comments. While some messages are pro-Bieber, there are those who criticized the young Canadian singer. The Bieber craze continues as the singer reportedly did not arrive as scheduled for his Justin Bieber My World Tour in Manila set on May 10 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. A report by DZMM said that Bieber is expected to come on May 8. "Hindi natuloy ang nakatakda sanang pagdating ng sikat na singer na si Justin Bieber alas onse trenta y singko kagabi. Ayon kay Cathy Liven ng NAIA Media Affairs department, hindi natuloy ang pagdating ni Bieber sakay ng Philippine Airlines dahil sa sama ng panahon. Hindi pa matiyak kung kailan pa ito darating para sa kanyang concert. Bukas bago ang concert (ay) may naka-schedule na presson si Bieber sa Philippine media," the radio anchor of DZMM reported on May 9. On the same day, lifestyle columnist of Manila Standard Today Harold Geronimo made an erratum on his earlier posted messages on Twitter insinuating that Bieber is already in the country. "Got a call from the major sponsor: Justin Bieber isn't in Manila yet. He's arriving tomorrow morning. Postponed flight due to bad weather," Geronimo tweeted at around 11:45 p.m. Geronimo also tweeted at almost the same minute, "Justin Bieber and team went on a Night Safari in Singapore tonight. Nice!" Six hours earlier, Geronimo tweeted these messages suggesting the Canadian singer has already arrived in Manila. "Source: EDSA Shangrila received hundreds of calls from people asking about Justin Bieber." "Wear purple in @justinbieber's concert tomorrow. It's his favorite color!" "Justin Bieber is now relaxing at the poolside with his production team trying some wakeboarding - Filipino-style!" He even posted a photo of Bieber's supposed arrival at the airport. "Justin Bieber's arrival at NAIA yesterday. Quiet, no media frenzy. http://twitpic.com/4vfwmu.&rdquo; But later, he tweeted this, "I deleted the photo of Justin Bieber at the airport because I also questioned its authenticity from a source." Before retiring to bed, Geronimo seemingly took a swipe at his detractors for criticizing his false report about Bieber. "Good night friends! Always remember: Kung ang hayop nga nagkakamali, tao pa kaya?" he said. To probably end all speculations about Bieber, TV5 posted on May 9 an official announcement on its Facebook account that said: "The Justin Bieber concert will push through tomorrow. There is no truth to the rumors going around social networking sites that it's cancelled." </div>

Local singers analyze Justin Bieber's success - Manila Bulletin

By JOJO P. PANALIGAN<div readability="108.94806338">  <div class="img_box img_left" readability="8">Justin Bieber's hits include 'Pray,' 'Never Say Never' and 'Baby' </div>MANILA, Philippines -- They say it takes one to know one and for many local singers, the success of Canadian teen superstar Justin Bieber is no fluke but one that can be attributed to many factors. A day before Bieber's concert at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, Bulletin Entertainment asked the stars "What is Justin Bieber's strength as singer/performer artist? What's incredible in his success?" Here are their answers: Christian Bautista: "I believe Justin Bieber has a lot of things going for him. He is talented ever since he was little, singing, playing guitar, etc. As a performer, he connects with his audience well and you see his honesty as an artist. He is guided by one of the best R&B artists, Usher, and his whole team. What's incredible in his success? It's just fate, destiny, the right time, the right place, the right songs and the right outlook in life." Kyla: "Justin Bieber magic? He has a nice voice. And he can dance. And he has appeal especially to the kids. Although some disagree, he really is talented. He can play instruments, too." Sitti: "I think his strength is his incredible team who believed and stood by him, planned and marketed everything perfectly. He is very charming ya, but without his team, without Usher---perhaps he would not have made it this big." Richard Poon: "JB' strength for me is his oozing confidence onstage." Audie Gemora: "You asking this old fogey about Justin Bieber? Nothing out of the ordinary in that every generation has a teeny bopper singing idol. Crosby, Sinatra, Elvis, Beatles, Donny Osmond, David Cassidy, the boy bands. What's interesting is his instant rise to stardom was born out of cyberspace. Will he last beyond teen idolatry and not be eclipsed by new YouTube sensations? That will be the true test of his talents." Champ Lui Pio: "I think JB has the talent to back up his fame. More importantly he has a good team behind his music. Not every teenager can be as confident as he is in showcasing his talents." Young JV: "He came on the scene just when someone like him was needed. His music is catchy and his age was just right when he got his break."

Justin Bieber's Phone Blunder - BSCkids

<div readability="35.9972677596"> <hr /><img src="http://www.bsckids.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/justin-bieber-singapore-press-conference.jpg" alt="" title="justin-bieber-singapore-press-conference" width="550" height="336" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32440" /> Justin Bieber tried to call his new BFF Chris Brown on his birthday to wish him a happy one. Yet he dialed the wrong number and got an old man who did not believe him. Here is what Justin tweeted about it. <blockquote readability="6">Chris Brown happy birthday man… call me cuz u programed yr new number wrong in my phone. I was calling this old guy who didn't believe he was talking to me</blockquote> You know he must have felt so embarrassed by that. I hate calling people for that exact reason. However, hopefully he handled it with class like we know he can. Do you feel bad for Justin? Do you think he should have made it publicly known like he did on Twitter or should he have kept it more private? That's a tough one to say. It does not paint him in a good light, but he did have a right to wish Chris a happy birthday. article source-Cambio   </div>

Justin Bieber's Australian Egging And The Art Of The Fan Revolt - MTV.com

<div readability="84.7934782609"> <img src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/news/w/wango_tango_2010/bieber/281x211.jpg" class="thumbnailmain" alt="Justin Bieber" />By Jett Wells The customer is always right, even at concerts, and sometimes that means a music fan has to open a can of whoop-ass if they don't get the show they paid good money for. Of course, sometimes things get out of control, whether it's the artist's fault or not. While it's kind of funny, Justin Bieber getting pelted with eggs at an Australian concert by a party-crashing teen is a good example of that point: Technically the teenager in question wasn't a fan — since he broke-in to the show specifically to harass Bieber (he was also subsequently arrested for his indiscretions) — but the incident goes to show you that music lovers rebel at shows for all sorts of reasons, and as far as ranking the most violent acts of fans revolting against artists, egg pelting is child's play. Here are some recent examples of their (ovum-free) protests. <big>Fans Sue Creed</big> Back in 2002 during a Creed show in Chicago, frontman Scott Stapp got so hammered he could barely remember the words to his own songs. And, granted, rock stars are supposed to be on something while performing, but in this instance, Stapp was so inebriated that four fans literally sued him for putting on a bad show ... to the tune of $2 million. The charges were dismissed, but it sent a warning to all touring musicians: rock my face off or I'll see your ass in court! <big>Axl Rose's Fan Brawls</big> It's too hard to single out one instance of the mercurial Guns N' Roses frontman getting violent with fans because it literally has happened so many times (whatever you do, don't take his picture), though his most memorable moment may have occurred in 1992, during a show in Montreal, where, in addition to his usual tardiness, Rose claimed he had problems with his voice and decided to only play 50 minutes.The crowd responded by flipping over cars and causing $400,000 worth of damage to the city. <big>Alice Cooper In Toronto</big> Canada's history of rioting music fans didn't start with Axl ... not by a long shot. In 1980, Alice Cooper canceled his Toronto show due to an illness and fans naturally didn't take the news well. The subsequent riot lead to 31 arrests and 12 hospitalizations, and caused more than $25,000 in damage. And that's a lot of Loonies. <big>Tila Tequila Gets Stoned</big> No, not marijuana, you potheads. Now, I didn't even know Tequila made music till a few hours ago, but even a reality star doesn't deserve to get beaten with rocks and Porta-Potty parts. Immediately after taking stage at 2010's "Gathering of the Juggalos," Tequila was attacked repeatedly on stage and chased down by angry ICP fans, escaping with severe lacerations and bruises. Even Axl Rose would've thought that's a bit harsh. Sounds to me like Bieber got off easy. Tags Justin Bieber, Wanton Eggings </div>
