This response has caused quite a tiff in the Belieber world. Some fans took it really serious and got mad at Justin for being rude. They found the outburst completely unacceptable. There's even been some claiming they don't want to be Beliebers anymore. But seriously....you gotta look at it from his point of view! He is always in the spot light and if he's not the paparazzi are still following his every move. He doesn't often get time just to himself and he gave that up for us, for his fans. At some point we have to give him a little space. It's not like he was out and about on the streets where it's expected for fans to approach or crowd the super star...he was at home! That should be his safe place, his get away. That should be the one spot he knows he can go and not have to worry about about cameras or being Justin Bieber: Prince of Pop...he can simply be just Justin.
Well...as I stated before not everyone saw it that way so there's been some negative talk towards the Biebster flying around on Twitter, but apparently enough is enough. Scooter Braun took to his own Twitter page in defense for our beloved Bieber, check it out.....
"Sometimes I gotta speak up and defend. You can't expect someone to stay normal for you if you don't give them the respect of privacy with family...everyone deserves that....let alone someone who gives their childhood and so much of themselves to the public every other day. And for anyone asking, the kid ain't changing just growing up....and for someone who knows him really well he is growing up into a caring polite respectful young man....who cares. But anyone in that position would of course yearn to be normal sometimes. When they talked about taking away MJ's childhood he looked at me and said "dont let that happen to me"- think about it. He cares a lot and sees all the things you say. He will never be "normal" again but we can help him be happy and hope he becomes "extraordinary." - Be a fan. Be a friend. Be a family."
Holy cow!!!! You tell 'em Scooter! He really does make some valid points that we all need to think about. Justin has given us SO much of himself, we owe it to him to give him some space every one in awhile...especially when he's home with family! We expect a lot out of him and god, compared to how I'd respond to all that attention he's so amazing! My favorite line in Scooter's speech is this, "you can't expect someone to stay normal for you if you don't give them the respect of privacy with family." I feel like thats such a powerful statement. I know we love him, but to some degree it is his fans that are taking his normalcy away.....which is what he signed up for yes, but sometimes we just gotta put ourselves in his shoes for awhile.
Beliebers are without a doubt the most dedicated and loving group of fans.....ever! Together we're like one huge family. And as a family we should all not only want what's best for Justin but also help give that to him. Talking mean or negatively about him isn't what he deserves. True Beliebers love him and have his back no matter what! We need to really listen to what Scooter said and put into practice. So lets all start now! Stand up for Biebs if someone is bashing him, be there for him when we can but also give him space when he needs it. I know we want to know everything about him twenty four seven and although sometimes it's hard to believe....he is only human! He's gonna have break downs and even make some mistakes, but that's when he needs us to have his back the most!
So, for this blog I'm gonna do something a little different. Instead of asking you to comment with your opinion, I'm asking for you all to write one positive thing about Justin on the line below. It can be something he's taught you, something you like about him, anything! It's time for Beliebers to pull together and right here is your chance to prove it :) BELIEBERS UNITE!!
I decided to post this video just to give you a glance at what Justin goes through everyday, things we don't always see or think about. I know it's a Jelena video, but the whole middle section really gets me, the paparazzi really are terrible, it makes me sad he has to deal with this all the time, no wonder he's not "normal." It isn't fair
