Over the weekend I went to the movie Never Say Never, which was an inside look of Justin Bieber's life. If you don't already know Justin Bieber is an extremely popular singer who is only 16 years old. To tell you the truth I wasn't really looking foward to going, but after a lot of convincing by my 16 year old sister, I finally gave in.
As I walked in, I was hoping no one I knew was there, because I was a little embaressed to be at this "kid movie". Of course right behind me was someone I knew from school. I couldn't believe how packed the theatre was, and it wasn't just a bunch of little girls, it was people of all ages. I was completely shocked.
All of a sudden shrieking came from five six year olds in the first row of the theatre. I thought that maybe their was a bat or a mouse, but no, they were screaming because Justin Bieber appeared on the screen.
As I began to watch the movie, I became pleasently supprised. It was an uplifiting story about a boy who came from nothing, and worked really hard to become famous by doing what he loved. I felt it was a good message to send kids, that if you really want to do something you can, as long as you work really hard at it.
He is definately sending a better message than Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton, who are in and out of jail.
So I guess this weekend I learned that even a teenage pop star can teach you a thing or two. :)
Sooo...you commited the mortal sin of going to the Bieber movie,huh? Thats okay-you can say it was in the name of research. I am not surprised at your discovery of his life and what he has accomplished.I was watching ESPN's first take the other day and Mark Schlereth came on---he played on a few Super Bowl teams. He let it be known that he was forced to go by his daughter(which in all honestly is what us dad's do, make sacrifices), and that he had caught 'Bieber fever'. I laughed. You also made a sacrifice for your sister.I say Im not surprised because I hated 'N Sync and Justin Timberlake, but when he went solo I found he was brilliant and not just a manufactured product.He could write,produce,sing,is very funny, and has come into his own as an actor. He hosted the ESPY awards and was hilarious. His commercials are great, and if you ever get the chance youtube his appearance on the Ellen show as the gingerbread man. His best performances are on Saturday Night Live if you ever wanna youtube them. Im saying all this not because Im a Justin stalker, Im saying it because people do judge and make assumptions about what they do not know. I hear alot of criticisms of Bieber, and I can honestly say I will not go out of my way to learn about him,but.. I just wanted to share a similar experience.
