ZiggyZiggs 30,062 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 New Delhi: Justin Bieber came, sang but didn't quite conquer, it turns out. Reviews of the singer's concert in Mumbai last night are fairly brutal and fans, many of whom are pre-teen, are furious that much of the performance was lip-synced. Just four of his 21 song set-list were sung live. There are also reports of mismanagement - there weren't nearly enough toilets and water was overpriced, says some news outlets; actress Bipasha Basu came and left because organisers allegedly failed to give her a VIP car pass. Some of this is true - NDTV's correspondent at the venue paid Rs 100 for his first bottle of water, Rs 150 for the second; a glass of Coca Cola cost Rs 100. The crowd at the venue, Navi Mumbai's D Y Patil Stadium, was 45,000 - the stadium can hold about 56,000 - and toilets might have been crowded but possibly not insufficient. The lip-syncing was another matter entirely. Filmmaker Anurag Basu, who took his daughter to watch the concert, told news agency PTI, "I would have been happy if he would have sung all songs live. He only sang four songs live. An artist of his calibre should sing live. He was not prepared." Mr Basu was one among a clutch of celebrities who had showed up to the concert - among them Sridevi, Alia Bhatt, Malaika Arora and others. Justin, 23, played to a 45,000-strong crowd at Navi Mumbai's D Y Patil Stadium amid high security and dizzying levels of excitement. The excitement was due to the fact that the Canadian singer's Indian audiencehave been petitioning him to play here for many years. Now that he has, it appears that the concert was not entirely paisa vasool - the cheapest tickets were priced at a little over Rs 5,000 and fans who paid big money and waited all day to hear him (Justin Bieber went on at 8 pm, 'Beliebers' had queued up starting 9 am)aren't pleased at all. "It's quite clear that he is not singing these songs," an irate man from Pune who had paid Rs 36,000 for his pass told PTI. Another fan said, "I attended Coldplay's concert and I think that was much better than this. Justin's performance was low on energy and the worst part was he was lip-syncing to many of his songs." An angry mother of a 10-year-old 'Belieber' told PTI, "I wish I had not paid a bomb for this awful concert." http://m.ndtv.com/india-news/justin-biebers-fans-waited-all-day-to-hear-him-lip-sync-people-are-furious-1692249 Funny thing he left the country right after the concert, canceling many high profile events and visits that people spent a lot of money on. Typical Bieber. Well, this is what my flop country deserves after promoting generic artists.Bieber, Chainsmokers, Ed etc are huge in India. If they'd promoted ACTUAL artists aka Gaga they'd have avoided such disappointments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakrai 4,759 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Still waiting for the day his fans see Bieber for who he really is and drop him. I can't believe there's people who actually stan him. Oh, I'm just visiting- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,885 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 It's one thing to lip sync but if you look through videos of the purpose tour for a lot of the dates he barely even bothers to move his mouth at all, the music just plays It's disrespectful to people that paid money to be there and there's not even visuals or performance to make up for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagagoogoose 30,952 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 He demanded so many ridiculous things to come to India and didn't even bother to sing live?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
He8MyHeart 9,768 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Wow, I didn't think Bieber would stoop to the lip-syncer level. Sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlaeUrAnus 16,010 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I really do not understand why he still has fans tbh. But if his fans enjoy him being late to shows, lip-syncing and spitting on them, then more fool them. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 110,038 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The lip synch is bad hing to do. But complaining about price ofbeverage in concert venue is not. Maybe many people there not used to with attending big concerts like that, but beverage prices are always jacked up in such events, and why some people choose to drink and eat after shows over at nearby fast food chains or diner, so this is a non issue tbh. As for the restrooms issue, trust me, there are never enough restrooms for concerts, lines always long. Always.

littlepotter 75,151 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Britney gets so much **** for lipsynching, everyone makes fun of her for it, but at least she works her ass off and delivers a performance. He just stands there and pretends to move his mouth, but he gets away with it and this story will be forgotten in two hours chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
