That is until Bieber arrived in Australia for the Australian leg of the Purpose World tour and quite honestly he has been extremely difficult to ignore and most of the time its not been pleasant, there have been stories from media outlets and Biebers fans coming from his shows in both Perth and Melbourne that Bieber looked bored and miserable which is not a good thing given the people turning up to see the live show have paid an awful lot of money to see Bieber and hear him perform his songs live.
Bright Lights and Pyrotechnics can't atone for singer's apathetic performance (Eastern Reporter, Perth)
Thing is Bieber's apparent boredom when performing hasn't just happened in Australia, it seems it has happened when he was on tour around the US and Europe where he was accused of same behaviour so its not the first time so knowing this is enough proof I'd need to not waste my money and save it for an artist who respects the fact that people have scrimped and saved just to see their favourite artist perform live which it seems doesn't have the professionalism to understand.
Which brings me to the disrespectful and frankly diva like behaviour when it comes to the 'publicity stunt' with Australian Ice Hockey League club Melbourne Ice, it seems Melbourne Ice did everything he requested only for him not to show up, the Melbourne Ice took it well publicly (and why wouldn't they? They got some free cheap publicity out of the whole ordeal) but privately they would be furious, Bieber effectively wasted the club's time and disrespected the effort the club made to ensure his demands were met eg: sourcing a hockey stick that met Bieber's standards.
We won't talk his interactions with fans but I get the feeling Bieber only interacts with fans when he feels like he needs some good publicity to continue make himself look like a guy with this heart of gold that even your granny would love. All I'll say re: fans is I think both Bieber and fans need to learn you need to earn respect in order to get respect back.
Then today, Bieber got rude and abusive toward a television crew all in the name of 'comedy' because he saw Chris Lilley do it on Summer Heights High. Seriously? A television crew doing their job and reporting (what shouldn't be a news story) on Bieber's tour and giving his concerts publicity and yet again it comes back to get respect you have to earn it, it shouldn't automatically come because you are a popstar.
Well Justin, sorry but this Purpose tour, your behaviour has led me to question why your fans even bother to buy your CDs or tickets to your shows when you have a poor attitude on tour toward the people who support you and those who promote your music and tours,
The other question is why the hell do people still idolise Justin Bieber? Its not like his music is legendary (his Grammys nom for album of the year was controversial) or even vaguely interesting, his attitude is that of a 23 year old little boy who hasn't realized that he is an adult.
Think I'll encourage kids to idolise people who don't swear at those doing their job, actually do their own jobs with a good, professional attitude and actually practice what they preach in terms of respect.
Forever a Unbelieber.
