Justin Bieber’s much-awaited performance drew some flak across social media with reports claiming that he lip-synced most of his songs. Needless to say, fans are furious. Indigo 91.9 RJ Michelle Patrao, from Bengaluru, who was at the DY Patil Stadium, literally 5 feet away from the stage, shares what she saw.
“I have seen so many news articles and websites slamming Justin Bieber’s performance and more so comments here shaming him for it. At the onset, let me clearly state I was a HATER! I loathed Justin, his music, his life choices, his rise to fame. ALL of it! I was NEVER a Belieber, until Purpose. So please hear me out. I was 5 feet away from the stage and I watched him like a hawk. I paid a LOT of money for my ticket and I would have been hopping mad if I was cheated out a good performance. Was I cheated? NO! We play Justin’s tunes so often that I know his songs, the scale he sings, modulations in the original track, ALL of it. I know the difference between the original track and one sung on top of an underlay. Justin sang EVERY song. His modulations were different from the original tune, and it was different with every tune he sang. If you listen to the original, and what he sang at the concert, you’ll know the difference. ALSO, It was so ridiculously HOT that evening, not even a light breeze and yes he wore basketball shorts and a Tee. It’s not disrespectful, it’s sensible. IT also shows personal growth, he had such a crazy sense of fashion a while ago, this new look and sound of his, shows he’s more grounded than he was. I as a hater can see it, in his music, in his lyrics, style, attitude. Sure he has bad days, but don’t you?” She even signs off ‘Michelle (Hater turned Belieber)’! Howzzat for support?
