Beiber in Barcelona

Last Wednesday, Beiber fever hit Barcelona. My friend Sujaree offered to get tickets when they went on sale. My first thought was um, no. But then I took a moment to think about it and thought Jessica would LOVE this. Jessica was not a huge Justin Beiber fan but she knew some songs and was indeed super excited to get to see his concert. Once the big day was here we jumped on a train and then took a taxi to the arena. We found some of the girl's schoolmates there and Jess and Carina both got the obligatory face markings. I've since learned that this a symptom of acute "Beiber Fever."

Then we purchased our concert t-shirts and waited for the big moment to arrive.Imagine if you will, thousands of screaming adolescent girls screaming "Joostine, Joostine." It took me a few moments to realize they were screaming "Justin" with their Spanish accent. The show was entertaining. He has some interesting cages he would climb into and float over the crowd on the floor. It was really rather impressive to hear all these Spanish girls singing the words to every song. And the screaming was rather intense at times when he flashed baby pictures or home videos of a very young Justin playing drums. Still the highlight of the night was the encore when he came out with his Barca shirt and sang Baby.



As it turns out one can actually catch Beiber fever from these events as Jessica can now be found more often then not with her ipod on singing, "You smile, I smile." I'm just happy that she had a good time and has some good memories from when Beiber came to Barcelona.
