Video - Justin Bieber Streams Entire Sao Paulo Brazil Concert to TV GLOBO

Okay, so you didn’t have the chance to buy a roundtrip plane ticket to Sao Paulo Brazil last week to catch the Justin Bieber concert.

No problem – the 50,000 seat stadium sold out instantly and you probably couldn’t have bought a ticket if you wanted to.

But for those that have never seen a Justin Bieber concert live before, the full concert video below will give you a good idea of what you’re missing.

The concert was recorded October 12th, 2011 in Sao Paulo Brazil as part of “Children’s Day” on TV GLOBO.



One thing we noticed was his opening song “Love Me”.

Now, either the TV station’s transmission was screwed up or JB was lip syncing to a backing track on the first song because the pitch was way too high.

Overall, this kid really knows how to put on a show.

He sings, dances, plays guitar, plays piano and drums, and can get an arena of 50,000 fans screaming, crying, and singing every word to his songs.

Kind of makes me feel a bit lazy…..

Video - Michael Jackson’s Children Make Appearance at Tribute Concert in Wales

Michael Jackson's Children

Yesterday was a historic day in Wales.

In an effort to keep Michael Jackson’s legacy alive and remove his Children from the current state side trial of Dr. Conrad Murray taking place back in the United States, a tribute concert was held yesterday in Cardiff Wales.

It was held at the Millennium Stadium and billed as “The Michael Forever Tribute”.

But because it was a Jackson family event it was, of course, surrounded by controversy.

One of the headline bands, “The Black Eyed Peas”, bowed out at the last minute leaving event organizers scrambling for a replacement act.

Others complained that the event should have been held in the United States so MJ's U.S. fans could have taken part in the celebration.

But at the end of the day it did what it was supposed to do – remember Michael Jackson.

Some of the acts that showed up to perform were NeYo, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Alexandra Burke, Gladys Knight, The Jackson Brothers, Jennifer Hudson, Latoya Jackson, Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson, and Beyonce who made an appearance via satellite.

Prince, Blanket, and Paris Jackson

The highlight of the evening was when Jackson’s three children Prince, Paris, and Blanket took to the stage for their first public appearance since their father’s death.

In fact, Blanket actually spoke to the sold out crowd of 50,000, and it was the first time most people had ever heard the young man’s voice.

The kids thanked everyone for coming and then introduced Beyonce.



The kids, whose real names are Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., Prince Michael Jackson II (Blanket), and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.

Another high point was when Christina Aguilera got up to belt out “Smile”. Judging by the crowd’s reaction it was probably the best performance of the night.



As the concert went one, it marked week two of the death trial of Michael back in the United States.

Prosecutors are currently unveiling their case in chief against Dr. Conrad Murray who is accused of killing Jackson with a deadly dose of the drug Propofol.

Video - Justin Bieber Finds His OLLG Debhani Guzman Torres in Mexico Thanks to Twitter Fans

Justin Bieber found his one less lonely girl last night in Monterrey Mexico – and there’s a GREAT story behind this one.

You see, last month when Bieber announced his South American Tour dates, the shows sold out in minutes – causing fans to hyperventilate and yell and scream in anguish.

Cameras at the Monterrey venue in Mexico caught one disappointed fan, Debhani Guzman Torres, in such distress that she fell to the ground crying.

You can see Debhani in the video below.

Well, Bieber took to twitter only 24 hours before hitting the stage in Monterrey asking his twitter followers to help him find Torres.

“I need everyone's help. We have LESS than 24 hours. We need to find this girl… she is at the 30 sec mark. HELP! Thanks.”

Within hours Bieber’s twitter followers had found Torres and given the information to JB’s tour manager who tracked her down, gave her free concert tickets, and made Torres the “One less lonely girl” at Friday night’s concert.

Aww…. What a sweat story.

After the show Bieber took to twitter to say,

“I just met a very special fan...thanks to the help of all of you. She said "things like this don’t happen to people like me"...Yes they do! #dreamBIG and NEVER SAY NEVER”

See, this is why Justin’s fans love him so much.

The Bieb’s has also completed his Christmas album due November 1st and we have already had a chance to listen to one of the songs…. kind of…

Video - Justin Bieber Inside His Tour Bus and Life on the Road

The entire World has fallen in love with Justin Bieber.

But have you ever wondered what it’s like living life on the road doing 150 shows?

Can you imagine what it takes to get the people organized, set up the stage; do the show, tear everything down, and move on to the next town?

Well, now you can get an amazing inside look – a behind the scenes “life on the road” experience of just what it takes to be Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber and Ryan Butler

A bonus feature off the new two disk North American Director's Fan Cut DVD gives us an inside view of what it takes to be Justin Bieber.

There is the usual cast of characters – Scooter Braun, Ryan Goode, Ryan Butler, Chaz Somers, Justin’s divorced dad Jeremy, Kenny Hamilton, Jaden Smith, Nolan, and others – but you also get to see the stage and dance crews in action.

There’s behind the scenes segments of everything from a shirtless Justin Bieber relaxing in a hot tub with his manager Scooter Braun on their day off – to playing video games on his tour bus with his friend Ryan Butler.

Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun In the Hot Tub

And oh man – the tour bus!

We get an amazing glimpse inside Justin’s tour bus and what it is really like living on the road and travelling from city to city.

There are the six bunk beds for his team and friends, flat panel televisions, video games, Bieber’s personal queen size bed in his private bedroom, and his suitcase full of school books.

Justin and Chaz Somers

So what does it take to pull off a year on the road with the world’s most popular teen idol?

Try 18 semi-trucks, 8 tour buses, and almost 100 people involved from the equipment load-in, setup, show execution, tear down, and load-out. It is a huge process to get everything in its place at the right time.

And the next day they do it all again – 150 shows alone in the United States during 2009 and 2010.

As the big blue bus comes rolling into the arena parking lot there are already hundreds of dedicated screaming fans waiting to catch a glimpse of their idol.

On the Tour Bus

We also get to see behind the scenes footage at Bieber’s concert venues - the Segway battles, basketball games, horse playing in the arena halls, and show time.

When Justin needs to be somewhere faster than his tour bus can get him there he simply hops on a private jet with his closest confidants and friends and jets to his next destination.



This is some of the best footage ever of what it really takes for a World famous performer to do what seems impossible to most of us.

Now you know why everybody loves this kid.

Video – Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber Surprise Fans with Live “Baby” Duet During Concert!

Last night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Taylor Swift fans got the surprise of a lifetime.

Justin Bieber joined Swift on stage for an impromptu duet of his hit song “Baby”.

Taylor started covering Justin’s song “Baby” a few months ago during her concerts and even drew the attention of Bieber last month when he tweeted,

"I heard you sang BABY at your concert in Toronto. Thank u for the love ... I might have to come by and stop in on a show."

And last night he made good on that promise by making a surprise appearance on stage during the show.

Watch Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber Sing "Baby" Live


Taylor Swift is currently on the road as part of her “Speak Now” concert tour and was performing Tuesday night in Los Angeles at the Staples Center.

After two more shows in L.A. she’s off to San Jose, Sacramento, Portland Oregon, Tacoma Washington, and Vancouver. The first leg of her tour ends November 22nd in New York City.

Swift will then take a few months off before heading out in March for the international portion of her tour by visiting cities in Australia including Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Brisbane, and Melbourne.

Justin Bieber is busy in the studio putting the finishing touches on his new album titled “Believe” which is expected out sometime this Fall.

He also continues to drop in on his girlfriend Selena Gomez’s shows while she is on the road touring with her band “Selena Gomez and the Scene”.

In late September, Bieber will return to the road with the South American leg of his “My World” concert tour kicking things off in Mexico on September 30th.

Swift admits to being a “Belieber” and has met Justin several times and even performed with him a couple of years ago.

It was not the best first encounter as Bieber broke his foot while onstage performing with Swift.

“I actually broke my foot on stage performing with Taylor Swift. I was opening up for her, which was a lot of fun — although it definitely wasn’t fun when I broke my foot. I was running and there was a little dip in the stage, and I rolled my ankle and broke it. I finished the song but it was still a great night.”

Video - Selena Gomez Behind the Scenes at First “We Own the Night” Concert

19-Year-Old teen sensation Selena Gomez opened her “We Own the Night” concert tour last Thursday – and it was a huge success.

Gomez and her band “The Scene” started their tour at the Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton Florida and her boyfriend Justin Bieber was in the audience to cheer her on.

It was a great show and everybody loved it.

After the show Gomez tweeted,

"Boca really came out tonight. . . I love you all"

And our favorite sidekick and all-around good guy videographer Alfredo Flores was there to capture all the back stage action on film.

Over the weekend Flores edited up his footage so we could see how everything went down and have a chance to see Selena with her band, crew, singers, and dancers before hitting the stage for her opening night.

Alfredo was an instrumental player with Justin Bieber’s “My World” tour, and has worked on several of the singer’s videos as well as his 3D movie “Never Say Never”.

And after the show, Selena's boyfriend Justin Bieber hit up the town with his best bud Sean Kingston in what would turn out to be a wild night of being chased by fans, coning in a $400,000 Rolls Royce, getting pulled over by police in front of a T.G.I.F. restaurant, and getting caught by the paparazzi on his hotel balcony - shirtless and wearing only a pair of grey boxer short underwear.

Awkward.

Gomez will be touring through September but will take a break to perform at the “Kids Choice Awards” August 7th with OneRepublic.

The tour will cruise through Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pennsylvania, Toronto, Boston, St. Louis, Dallas, Kansas City, San Diego, and Las Vegas.

She can also be seen in the recently released movie “Monte Carlo” starring with Cory Monteith, Leighton Meester, and Katie Cassidy - a comedy about three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

American Idol Live Tour 2011 Update – Scotty Rules, Durbin Rocks “Guns and Roses” – Video

For all you American Idol fans who thought this year’s shows ended too soon you still have a chance to see your favorite idol live in concert in one of their 47 concert shows that run through September.

The 2011 Summer American Idol Live Tour kicked off last week in West Valley City Utah and all indications are that producers have put together one heck of a show.

The show rundown seems pretty well mixed between individual numbers and lots of duets, and crescendos with a group performance at the end.

Hard rocker James Durbin gets the crowd warmed up with Guns and Roses “Sweet Child of Mine before the entire ensemble bounces in and out doing individual and small group numbers.

Watch James Durbin Sing Sweet Child of Mine Live


Our spy’s on the inside say that Pia Toscano and Stefano Langone do a duet of Rihanna’s "California King Bed”, and Casey Abrams hits it out of the park with a version of Santana's "Smooth" while playing his signature stand-up bass.

All the girls join together for a tribute to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way”, and of course runner up Lauren Elaina gets the stage to herself for “Like my Mother Does.”

Hailey Reinhart also gets a moment alone on stage for Elton John’s “Benny and the Jets”, and Pia Toscano blows away the crowd with “Empire State of Mind.”

Leading off for the guys is veteran singer Paul McDonald with his version of Rod Stewarts “Maggie Mae” followed by heart-throb Stefano Langone playing the piano while performing Bruno Mars “Grenade.”

After a few mare solos, all the guys join on stage for a group rendition of “Animal” by Neon Trees. This was probably the worst and most awkward performance of the night.

But one of the best performances, and the one wanted by the crowd, was by odd man Casey Abrams who brought out his standup bass to croon to Santana’s “Smooth.”

Watch Casey Abrams sing Santana's "Smooth" Live


Once Casey hit the stage you could definitely hear a change in the tone of the crowd – they started to really get into the groove and as you know, Casey has that unusual groove that plays out well in front of an arena crowd.

After a short intermission Thia Megia belted out “Who Says” by Selena Gomez and Stefano brings out the rest of the girls for Usher’s “DJ Got Us Falling in Love.”

James Durbin gets the crowd wound up again with “Uprising” by Muse before Jacob Lusk performs “Never Too Much” by Luther Vandross, and then is joined by Pia, Naima and Stefano for “You’re All I Need To Get By” by Marvin Gaye.

And then it happens.

Scotty McCreery comes on stage for a group number and the crowed explodes. Scotty then starts his own private little musical set and gets the crowd on their feet with Josh Turner's "Your Man.”

McCreery follows with “Are You Going to Kiss Me or Not” by Thompson Square before launching into his hot single “I Love You This Big.”

Scotty then joins with Lauren for a duet of “When You Say Nothing At All” by Alison Krause before the entire ensemble comes back on stage for the huge finale.

Video - Fire at Rihanna Concert Cancels Show – Fans Evacuated

It was a big night in Dallas Texas for Rihanna fans last night.

A fire broke out on stage during the singer’s concert at the American Airlines Center and caused a near panic and the cancellation of the show.

It appears that a pyro pack attached to the upper lighting rig either didn’t go off correctly or exploded prematurely causing a section of the rig to catch fire and quickly filling the arena with smoke.

A local CBS affiliate reported sparks and chunks of burning material fell back down onto the stage starting additional fires near a section of curtains and equipment.

It was all caught on video by a fan in the audience, and you can hear by his voice that things got very close to raging out of control.

As the fire grew, stage hands turned on the house lights and stopped the show. The guy taking the video can be heard talking to his friend about what would happen if they had to evacuate.

At one point he grew concerned about being trampled if things got out of control.

Finally a crew member was able to climb up to the rig and used a fire extinguisher on the blaze while the crowd erupted in cheers.

The show however, had to be cancelled due to safety concerns.

Watch Rihanna Stage Fire in Dallas


The singer took to her twitter account afterwards to say,

"DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I'm so pissed, I was havin so much fun with yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!"

Rihanna is currently on the road for her U.S. “Loud” tour.

The singer recently announced that she has added an additional tour stop in Birmingham Alabama on July 11th at the Jefferson Civic Center Arena.

All profits from the show will be used to benefit local community relief efforts stemming from the devastating tornadoes that tore through the area last month.

From there her July shows continue on to Atlanta, Sunrise Florida, Greenboro North Carolina, Long Island New York, East Rutherford New Jersey, and Philadelphia.

Starting in August she will take her show overseas to Finland, Norway, Ireland, London, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Switzerland.

Jackie Evancho’s Album Sales Top Charts – Singer Talks Next Steps - Video

Young Jackie Evancho is only 11-years old, but she has the top selling Album on Amazon.

This week, her “Dream with Me” album outsold every artist except Adele, selling more albums then Bon Iver, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga.

To be fair, Jackie’s album was just released June 14th and she has had tons of air time on the June PBS fund drive, so time will tell if her staying power is real.

We think it is.

Related: Video - Meet Jackie Evancho, She’ll Melt Your Heart and Make You Cry

All you have to do is hear her sing and you can see she has what it takes to be a strong contender on today’s music scene.

She considers herself a crossover opera singer, and knows she will not get by on just singing opera.

But boy can see sing opera.



Just over a year ago, Evancho was taking second place on America’s Got Talent and today she’s singing duets with Susan Boyle and Barbara Streisand.

One of our favorites is her version of Sarah McLachlan’s hit “Angel” that was released as a single, and as a track on “Dream With Me.”

Related: Watch Jackie Evancho Sing “Angel”

After meeting 17-time Grammy Award winner David Foster, the two worked on creating and producing her current album - and the results have been better than both of them expected.

When asked about the title for her new album Jackie says,

“Well, the last CD that I had done was called 'Prelude to a Dream' and that's the beginning of a dream. Prelude is usually the beginning of a song or beginning of something. With 'Dream With Me,' I've kind of already made it. So, that dream has become real life, so now it's the real thing.”

And her dream has come true, and the first stop was the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota Florida where she filmed her PBS special.



And we have to say, her PBS special was amazing.

But what's in store for the new super star now that her album has been released and the World has discovered her?

Evancho says with all that has happened, she has to attend school on-line and misses her friends she used to see every day,

“Cyber School is really, really hard. And it’s boring, you know? I’d rather do normal school than go to online school.”

When asked if she is able to understand the deep emotion in some of her songs she says,

“All of the songs are emotional to me. 'Angel' is really sad because it’s about suicide. It’s really emotional. It’s really easy for me to show my emotions but it’s hard to listen to because it’s so sad.”

Watch Jackie Evancho Sing “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan


She sure does know how to make your heart melt.

When asked where she wants to go from here, and what her next steps are she says,

“I want to continue with my music but I also want to be a normal kid. This whole thing has happened so fast my parents and I are still just trying to sort it all out. For now, I’m just going to keep singing and see what happens next.”

Jackie says opera is her first love but she also likes the music of Josh Groban and Lady Gaga. She has also started writing and would like to start creating her own songs from start to finish.

Evancho also likes to play with her many pets. In fact, she calls her pet collection her “pet menagerie” and it includes nine hermit crabs, two guinea pigs, three dogs, two cats, a lizard, three frogs and four ducks.

The young opera crossover singer is currently on a mini tour with upcoming shows in Sun Valley Idaho, Atlanta Georgia, Highland Park Illinois, Omaha Nebraska, and Dallas Texas.

Jackie has already appeared on the Jay Leno Show and can be seen on CNN’s Piers Morgan show June 30th.

Go get ‘em kiddo.

Video - Miley Cyrus Rushed on Stage by Crazy Fan During Australian Concert

Pop singer Miley Cyrus was rushed by a crazed fan during her “Gypsy Heart” tour in Melbourne Australia last night.

She had just finished her popular song “The Climb” when a crazed fan jumped on the stage and attempted to grab Miley.

Fortunately, security guards ran to her aid and pulled the female fan away from Cyrus and threw her off the stage. Ouch!

Miley was visibly shaken and can be heard saying “Oh my God…” when the fan was grabbed by security.

The attack is at the end of the video…

Miley’s troubles come just a day after another young pop star, Justin Bieber, was attacked at an event on Harold Square in New York City while doing press for his new perfume “Someday.”

Video – Britney Spears New “I Wanna Go” Music Video - Review

Britney Spears I Wanna Go

It’s been a while since troubled pop star Britney Spears released any new music.

But in recent months she has dropped two music videos and today just released her latest with “I Wanna Go.”

Britney seems to be taking a journey back over memory lane – finding her roots as she parades around in a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt (her career started as a Mousketeer in the Mickey Mouse Club)

There is also a movie banner seen from “Crossroads 2” which is a reference to her 2002 movie “Crossroads” where she played the role of Lucy Wagner and sang “I Love Rock and Roll” and "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman."

The overall theme of “I Wanna Go” is Britney’s rebellion against the paparazzi and she is seen throwing a photographer’s camera to the ground and signing autographs for only the “cool” people.

The video starts with a press conference where she is asked if she is pregnant with Brad Pitt’s love child. She tells them to f#ck off!

Go Britney!



Perez Hilton commented on Britney’s new video saying,

“The video did what it was supposed to and then some! Not only do you see Britney having lots of fun, but you also hear her speak and are just watching her look very normal. This video says that Britney has a great team around her who are advising her well. They know her strengths and weaknesses and what she needs to be doing right now. This video is mission accomplished! Home run!"

Another critic summed it up well with,

"It was absolutely a smart move. Britney's had rumors going around that she's a robot programmed by the people around her, but she takes the robot theme and turns it around on them. It's great to see Britney actually fight the paparazzi in a video instead of running from them for a change. The video feels like it's 'SNL' meets 'Toxic' meets 'Do Somethin'’ meets Femme Fatale. Britney has so many videos where she plays the sex kitten, so to see her kick ass and take names is really refreshing."

Spears is currently on tour throughout North America on her “Femme Fatale” concerts with Nicki Minaj.

What do you think? Is Britney back from the abyss?

InfoStar thinks so…

Justin Bieber’s Tour Crew Refuses to Return to Japan – Might Cancel Shows

It’s not easy being the world’s most popular 17-year-old Pop star.

And we also know that Justin Bieber is not the kind of performer who likes to cancel a show.

But today during a crew meeting in Adelaide Australia, were Bieber is performing, the road and stage crew overseeing his tour said they refused to return to Japan for more concerts due to fears of radiation from the recent nuclear disaster.

Since the earthquake and Tsunami last month they fear the risk of cancer and other illnesses is too great, and say they refuse to return for shows on May 17th and 19th.

Bieber has already visited Japan on his My World Tour, and is scheduled to return later this month to both Tokyo and Osaka.

The crew reminded Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, that both Avril Lavigne and Slash have cancelled shows at the same venues over health fears.

Braun was overheard yelling and cursing at the crew telling them that the Japanese Government had told him there was no risk at all and that they should do what is right for the kids.

At this point there is a mutiny and the crew says they refuse to return.

Bieber himself has not made any comments on the subject and a simple statement released by his PR rep said “They are working through the issue now”.

Australian Boy Arrested For Throwing Eggs at Justin Bieber – Video

Last week while Justin Bieber was performing on stage in Sydney Australia someone decided to pelt the singer with eggs.

The YouTube video below shows the eggs flying onto the stage and narrowly missing Bieber.

But we are learning more about what happened – and it’s bizarre.

An unnamed 17-year-old boy broke into the Sydney’s Acer Arena through a roof panel and lobbed the eggs at Bieber from almost 100 feet above the stage.

Once the eggs were thrown, event staff and security saw the boy running from the scene and called police.

Police were able to identify the egg thrower a few days later from comments left on a social network site, and paid a visit to his house in Bondi Junction where he was arrested.

He was taken to the police station in Waverly and charged with breaking and entering, trespass and malicious damage.

While the youths name is not being released we know that he has been bailed out of jail and required to appear in Sydney Children’s court in June.

No one in Bieber’s camp has made any comments about the incident but say they are aware of the YouTube video of the incident which has already received over 1.5 million views.

Miley Cyrus sure is growing up.

Once the darling of Disney with her cute smile and famous father, the singer was the classic all American Girl.

Well, we all know how that worked out.

She has been seen sliding down a stripper pole, grinding the crotch of her manager, smoking a bong and tripping on salvia, and who can forget the Vanity Fair photos of her and her dad in some unusual family poses.

But Cyrus is a big girl now and is currently on the road with her “Can’t Be Tamed” tour, and last week in Ecuador she paid homage to Curt Kobain and the grunge era by singing “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.

And last year he had a run in with a bully during a paint ball outing where the police were called.

Bieber says he was also bullied in school because he was good at sports and his classmates hated him for it.

But last night during his concert in Melbourne Australia, Bieber brought bully victim Casey Heynes on stage to thank him for standing up to his aggressor and for showing courage during the press fiasco that followed.

For those of you who don’t remember Casey, he became an overnight celebrity last month when a YouTube video surfaced of him body slamming his young attacker to the ground.

When we first heard that Bieber was going to have Heynes on stage we thought it was a nice gesture. But we had no idea of the effort the singer’s management team and Channel 9 put into the making it all happen.

The following video is an interview with Channel 9 Network’s “Current Affair” where both Casey and Bieber are interviewed by Ben McCormack.

It’s amazing to see a young celebrity focus so much attention on a subject when he could just as easily do his show and move on to the next city – injured back and all.

We suspect that this is why Bieber has become such an inspiration to teenagers around the world. Here is a kid who is not afraid to hang out his own dirty laundry in an effort to change the global perspective on issues.

After all, at one point or another we have all been bullied and decided to look the other way. I can only imagine what I would have done as a teenager if I had a stadium of 20,000 screaming fans as a platform to air my problems.

Maybe this kid really is smarter then we adults give him credit for.

Way to go Justin – this is why they love you.

Justin Bieber Gives Away 700 Free Tickets to His Show in Tel Aviv Israel

See, this is why we like Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber is giving away 700 free concert tickets to his fans so they can see his performance Thursday night in Tel Aviv.

Tickets are being given to children living in the Gaza Strip area that have been subjected to repeated rocket attacks and random mortar shelling.

The tickets, and transportation to and from Tel Aviv, are a gift from The Schusterman Foundation of Israel, The Morningstar Foundation and the ROI Community of Young Jewish Innovators.

Bieber arrived Monday in Israel and is scheduled to perform Thursday night, but also has plans to visit the historic Holy sites of Israel with his visiting father, Jeremy, and mother Pattie.

Several cast and crew members have also flown in family and plan an extended stay and tour of the Holy Land.

Bieber will visit Christian sites in the Galilee, the Dead Sea, Masada, Acre and Caesaria, and is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before leaving.

But things have not gone without a hitch. Tuesday morning Bieber had a run in with Israeli Paparazzi while visiting a historic church. Justin had asked for privacy while inside the church with his family but the photographers had different idea.

One thing that made the ticket giveaway possible is that sales for the show have been lower than expected. The concert venue is in Tel Aviv and many parents are afraid to have their children together in such a large crowded area in case there is any kind of terrorist attack.

Concert promoter Gadi Oron announced Sunday that a parent could enter the concert free with the purchase of two tickets for children at the regular price.

“Many Israeli parents refuse to send their young teens alone to a major rock concert in the middle of Tel Aviv. By giving the parents free tickets we expect to see a larger turnout as they come and enjoy the show with the children.”

Looks like Justin is treating the Holy Land with love, now if the paparazzi would do the same.
