Hello guys! I'm a 16-years-old norwegian Belieber called Victoria. I'm a really huge Belieber and I've been that for like four years. I'd travel the world to get a glimpse of Justin Bieber.
I've seen him live 5 times and met him once. I am so damn grateful for the experiences I've had and I'm now going to tell you all about them. This is definetely not something I wrote to make you jealous, but I'm just trying to inspire you and make you realize that dreams do come true if you don't give up.
DENMARK APRIL 1st 2011
My first Bieber experience was April 1st 2011 in Denmark at the My World Tour. It all started on the evening November 30th. I saw that they had began to sell tickets to My World Tour in Denmark.
I ran down the stairs and begged my mom to go, and first she was like "No, I'm sure he's coming to Norway someday." I was so upset and started crying. My mom realized how much I really wanted to go on his concert, and she knew how crazy I am about Justin Bieber. We ordered tickets for me, her and my little sister. We decided that this was going to be the christmas gift from myparents in 2010. At that point it was the best gift I've ever received!
I cried myself to sleep that night. Our seats were 9, 10 and 11 on row 61. It seemed so far away from the stage! I couldn't believe that I was going to see Justin for the first time... My biggest idol! He is the one I wanted to meet the most of every person in this world, and I'm going to his show. IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING? I couldn't stop thinking about the concert.
After four months with waiting, the day finally came... April 1st 2011. We had to wake up early in the morning to reach the ferry from Norway to Denmark. We went to the concert 5pm, and the concert started 7pm.
Outside Jyske Bank Boxen(concert arena) we did a flashmob dance for Justin. Somebody To Love! Suddenly Alfredo Flores came on the little stage where the flashmob leaders were dancing. I stood like one meter away from him, and he filmed us while dancing. I was soooo happy to see a guy from Justin's crew. My mom stood in the queue, and she had my camera, so unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of him or with him...
When we finally came inside Jyske Bank Boxen we found our seats. Actually I was positively surprised! It wasn't as far away as I had imagined. Before Justin came on stage, Bluey Robinson warmed up for him. Bluey was really good, but I think all of us were ready for Justin!
We started counting down and I was so freaking excited. I was just shaking! Love me was the first song he performed. I cried more than I ever had done before. When he said: "It's JB", I realized that I was in the same room as my hero, role-model and inspiration. CRAYYY! I just cried and screamed throughout the whole concert. He literally took my breath away. My favorite part besides when he said "It's JB" was when he performed Favorite Girl and Never Let You Go in the heart thing, you know.
LONDON NOVEMBER 7th 2011
Monday, November 7th I saw Justin live at a shopping centre called Westfield London.
Me and the coolest aunt in the entire world ordered flight tickets and hotel just a few days before he came to London. If you guys wonder how I got her to join me, I payed for both of us. Flight tickets, hotel and everything. I have job and I had saved up money so I could travel to places in Europe where Justin was going to be. We were in London from Saturday to Tuesday. Saturday night we went to Westfield London, the place where I probably were going to see Justin. There was posters of him everywhere and stuff like that. It made me even more excited.
Sunday November 6th we took a trip to Madame Tussaud's to see Justin's wax figure. I was so happy when I tought about the fact that Justin actually had touched his wax figure.
Monday morning we woke up like 3am and went to Wetstfield. I was one of the first in the whole queue. The queue was under a tunnel with the parking lot.
I had a really good feeling that I was going to get one of the 1000 wristbands they were going to hand out. The security team were supposed to hand them out 7am and they said "First come-first served". YEAH RIGHT... Me and my aunt were some of the first people in the whole queue for like 5 hours. All of sudden the securityguards started moving us closer to one of the entrants to the shopping centre. Everybody was CRAZY! We are Beliebers, so that's just normal. Of course all of us wanted a wristband so that we could stand at the ground floor. People ran out in the street even though cars, busses and trucks were driving there. A lot of people fell and everything was out of control. Everybody was talking about the unorganized the whole thing was and a lot of parents yelled at the security.
In my opinion the security was the biggest reason why it all got out of control. In the first queue we were standing nicely and I still don't get why they moved us.
When the clock was 9am we still hadn't got any information from the securityguards. We were waiting and thought they were going to hand out wristbands, which they never did. 10am they finally let me in and the security told me that I was going to get a wristband. I was freaking out and ran into the mall with my aunt in tow. I asked if I could get a wristband, but the lady told me that it was empty. I was about to start crying... We saw that a lot of Beliebers filled up the escalator, so we ran after them. It was a little queue there to get a stamp. We were queueing for only 5-10 minutes and then we both got a stamp. I was so extremely happy when I saw how close Justin and I were going to be in 7 hours! They could only let 400 people in at that area, and it's sick to think about the fact that I was one of them. We were at the balcony closest to the stage and that was really close to Justin. We were waiting for about 7 hours in the centre. It was really fun to speak with Beliebers that came from different places in England. They asked me where I came from and when I said Norway, they were like "WHAAAT? NORWAY? And I thought I was crazy, because I've travelled 2 hours to see him! You must really love him.." And my answer was of course "YEEES, I really do." The rumors spread quickly and all of sudden everyone was talking about a girl that travelled all the way from Norway to see Justin. Haha, it was funny.
5pm Justin finally came out on stage and it was completely sick! The first thing we did was to count down and then a "rocket thing" popped up on stage, and then Justin switched the christmas lights on. There were two tall girls in front of me, but I sat on my aunt's shoulders. He sang "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", "Never Say Never", "Mistletoe" and then he ended the whole show with "Baby". I was bawling my eyes out while screaming. Everybody was staring at me like I was an idiot and I was thinking "HELLOOOO?! Justin Bieber is actually standing right in front us, girls!!!"
As I mentioned earlier I sat on my aunt's shoulders. The best thing was that it was easy for him to notice me, because I was like the tallest person at the balcony when I was sitting on her shoulders. I waved like a crazy monkey and did all I could, because I wanted him to see me. Guess what, he looked at me! It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try my best. He was pointing at the balcony I was on and his hand was pointing at the same place as his glance, if you know what I mean? Suddenly he smiled at me and I totally freaked out. When he saw my reaction he giggled! It looked like he thought my reaction was kinda funny. I was about to die of happiness! My aunt took me down from her shoulders and I couldn't stop screaming "HE SMILED TO ME! HE SMILED TO ME! HE SMILED TO ME!"
She had a laugh-attack. I was so happy and I still am. He is beyond amazing and it was so depressing when it was over after he performed "Baby".
At our way back to the hotel I was still crying, because it was all so unreal. Eyecontact is wiiild! After the show he posted a link on Facebook. I clicked on it and I freaked out when I saw myself on one of the pictures. Lol, the picture was awful, but I don't care as long as he actually posted it on his own Facebook.
TWITTER FEBRUARY 21st 2012
Now here's a Bieber experience I got on twitter 3 days before my 15th birthday. I was stalking Justin's twitter as usual and suddenly he got online. I got very excited and had a good feeling that it was my turn to get noticed that day.
I tweeted him a lot of random stuff , and I didn't copy-paste my own tweets over and over again. I kept doing it and then I decided to check my Facebook.
When I went back on twitter 2 minutes later I noticed that I had got a lot of new followers and people spammed me with "CONGRATS!" and stuff. I started shaking and then I scrolled down at my "followers-list". When I saw that Justin was one of them, I screamed and freaked out. My sister was like "What the fuck is happening?" And I just cried and cried and cried, while I screamed "HE IS FOLLOWING ME! HE IS FOLLOWING ME! JUSTIN IS FOLLOWING ME!"
The tweet he probably noticed before he followed me was this one: "OMB! OMB! JUSTIN FOLLOWED ME! Oh crap, I was just dreaming again.. @justinbieber" It feels so good to be able to send him directmessages, even if he doesn't reply.
NORWAY MAY 29th 2012
This day I saw Justin at the balcony. The first thing I did when I woke up was to find the Nordic Choice Hotels' office, because they had my wristbands to the secret TV-show which I won tickets to.
I ran from hotel to hotel with my best friend Christina after we had been waiting outside Grand Hotel for a long time. When we found out that the hotel he stayed in was Clarion Hotel Royal Christiania we just waited for like 4 hours outside before he came out. Some "Beliebers" thought that everyone that stood in the window was Justin. But hello? One of them was an old man with grey hair, another one
wore only boxershorts. Lol, as if Justin would've come out in the window with no clothes.. That would've been awesome though!
8.48pm he came out on the balcony. He waved at us and made the typical heart with his hands to us. Awwww. I punched my bestie 5 times in her arm, because I was freaking out. Alfredo Flores and Moshe was also there. Fredo filmed us. This is the first time I've ever seen my favorite boy in my own country. Special feeling.
NORWAY MAY 30th 2012
As some of you might now I won tickets to see him perform at a secret TV-show with only 200 others.
The clock was 4pm and I still hadn't recieved any information about where or when it was going to happen. Never been so stressed! I sent e-mails to Nordic Choice Hotels(those who gave me tix) and they told me that it was cancelled. The positive thing was that we could use our tickets to VIP at the Opera House. I didn't know where the VIP area were, so I was super excited!
My first thought when I saw that we were going to sit on the first row was "GJFDCVBNJKUYTRFGHJKYTFDCV!" I started jumping and got so hyped. We were going to be as close to Justin as possible. Woho! We waited from 7pm in the VIP area.
A lot of norwegian celebrities were in the same are as us. Marius Høiby, Gabrielle, Alexandra Joner, Per Sundnes, Didrik Solli Tangen, Guri Schanke, Jenny Skavlan, Davy Wathne, Kathrine Flatland, Stian Barsnes Simonsen, Dag Erik Pedersen, David Eriksen etc.
DJ Tay James warmed the audience up and it was fuuuuun! I was so ready to see and hear Justin perform again! Me and 3 of my friends screamed "WE KNOW THE DJ" and Tay waved at us and smiled. We also got Dan Kanter's attention. We screamed "WE LOVE YOU, DAN" and he was pointing at us with his guitar with a big smile on his face. He is so charming.
This time I was going to be closer too him that I had ever been before. He was like 10 meters away from me. And yes, we were first row. The stage was a float in the water, hahah!
Justin came on stage about 8.45pm. He sang 7 songs. "Baby", "All Around The World", "As Long As You Love Me", "Be Alright", "Never Let You Go", "Never Say Never" and ended the show with "Boyfriend". He started talking about Kidrauhl and then him and Dan did 2 acoustic songs like the old times. "Be Alright" and "Never Let You Go". Before he started singing Boyfriend, he said "Can I be your boyfriend?" I died inside, outside and everywhere! I screamed "YEEEES", so now it's official. We are a couple. Cute right? It was an amazing show, and I'm so glad that I got the opportunity to be so close to him.
LONDON JUNE 9th 2012
When I found out that Justin was going to the Capital Summertime Ball I almost fainted. Finally a chance to see Justin again! I ordered two tickets April 22nd and at that time I didn't knew that Justin were coming to Norway already next month.
My mom ordered plane tickets and hotel for her, me, my grandparents, lil'sis and one of my best friends, Christina.
The first night we(me and Christina) took a trip to Westfield London, the place where I saw Justin Nov 7th. A lot of memories popped into my head!
It felt really good to be back in London and knowing that I was going to see JB next day...
We slept at a hotel in Shepherd's Bush and the next day we were on a shopping spree in Oxford Street before we went to Wembley Stadium.
We had to queue before they let us in at the stadium. It was sooo big and I realized that I were gonna be pretty close to him when I compared it to the seats.Pitch Standing tickets.
Coldplay started the whole show! Veeery good start! So many amazing artists who did great performances, but surprisingly I didn't care so much about them, because I was so pumped to see Justin! Hahaha, it's a Belieber thing...
Artists: Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, Jessie J, Pitbull, Flo Rida, Rita Ora, Conor Maynard, Cover Drive, Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Example, Lawson, Usher, The Wanted, Dizzee Rascal, Cheryl Cole, Rizzle Kicks, Carly Rae Jepsen and the best of them all, Justin Bieber.
Justin was the second last to perform and he sang 8 songs. "Somebody To Love", "All Around The World", "Baby", "Never Say Never", "Die In Your Arms", "One Less Lonely Girl", "Turn To You" and "Boyfriend". He was joined by Carly Rae Jepsen half way with "Call Me Maybe". He also got Usher on stage to tell him how grateful he is and that Usher has made him a better artist. Aww...
I was so f*cking emotional when he sang OLLG. Oh, that should be me. Favorite part of the night was definetely when he performed "Turn To You", because that's one of the most meaningful songs he has ever made.
I wish I could see him every month, every week or just every day. The best feeling in the world is when you're in the same room as him and breathing the same air. Ahhh!
LIVERPOOL FEBRUARY 24th 2013
Now I’m finally moving on to the day I met him. In November I was thinking about how I could have the best birthday ever, so I checked out where in UK Justin was going to be. He was going to have a show in Liverpool on my birthday, so I begged my mom to go. I paid for two expensive concert tickets, plane and hotel. In total it cost like 1400 dollars. My aunt joined me, because my mom had to work. This time I had decided that I really was going to do anything to meet Justin. I’ve been thinking that before, but this time it was really going to happen. I contacted a lot of people, but they were all like “Sorry, we can’t help you. Good luck!” There have been some radio contests, but I’m not a UK resident, so I couldn’t enter. My last chance was Justin’s official fan club, Bieberfever.
When I woke up February 23rd I was so quiet and kind of depressed. My aunt asked me if there was something wrong and I just told her exactly what I felt. I said something like: “I can’t wait to see Justin’s show tomorrow, but I really want to meet him. It’s my birthday and I’ve spent so much on all of these trips to see him. I got a feeling like that I’m going to win the Bieberfever contest, but I don’t want to feel like this, because I’m going to be so disappointed when I’m not one of the winners.” She understood what I felt. I had expectations and I really didn’t want to expect that much, but I couldn’t help it.
We went to Starbucks, because my aunt wanted a coffee and I wanted free wifi. She borrowed me iPhone to check her Facebook. When she gave it back to me I saw that I had got one new mail. I was so afraid. It was 7.05pm, and that’s the time Bieberfever normally send out emails to the winners. I was thinking to myself that this probably was just another message from a clothing store or something. I opened it, and guess what! “Congratulations, Victoria! You’re officially invited to attend the photo meet and greet tomorrow night, February 24th in Liverpool”. I just started screaming and crying inside of Starbucks. My aunt took my phone out of my hands and was like “WHAAAT?” We went outside and then I called my mom. She thought that something terrible had happened to me, because I was just crying and screaming, so she couldn’t hear what I was trying to say. I couldn’t get much sleep that night, because I was thinking about what I was going to tell Justin. I decided to at least try to tell him that I love him, that it was my birthday and that Norway loves him. My aunt told me that I had to fight those tears when until the picture was taking. I agreed with her, because I look like a f*cking troll when I cry. I’m not cute like a lot of other Beliebers when they cry at the meet and greet.
February 24th was here and I knew one thing. This was going to be the best birthday ever. I couldn’t believe that I was going to meet my biggest idol after all these years. We picked up our wristbands 4pm and started queuing. There were like 125 others that were going to meet him. 25 had got them through a contest and the others had bought them. Justin was 2 hours late. I understood him and it didn’t bother me much. The only problem were the fact that we would get less time with him and the security told us that we had to take pictures with him in groups of 6. I was planning to run into his arms and stand beside him at the photo. When Kenny Hamilton came in we all understood that Justin was right around the corner. I’m not sure, but I think he said something to all of us, but I was shock. I don’t know, but everyone that have something to do with Justin make me totally starstruck.
We first noticed that Justin had arrived when a girl got a glimpse of him behind the black curtains. I think a security opened the curtains a little with an accident. But the girl started screaming and everyone was like “What is happening?” and then she told us that she saw Justin. She described what he was wearing and this only excited us even more. He wore a grey snapback and a grey hoodie. I melted. The queue started moving really quick. It made me scared. I understood that I wouldn’t even get the chance to talk to Justin for a minute.
I was wearing a pink button ish thing on the left side of my chest where it was a little text that showed people that it was my birthday. I only wore it because some girls told me that Justin would probably notice it and wish me a happy birthday. Suddenly it was my turn. The security: “Birthday girl?” Me: “Yes!” Security: “Happy birthday! Have a gift for Justin? I’ll make sure he gets it!” Me: “Thank you!”
The security opened the curtains and there he was. Justin Drew Bieber was standing in front of me. My heart stopped. I had so many feelings at the same time. “He is perfect” “Mini” “He is real” “He is prettier in real life than in pictures” “Finally” “Oh my god” was just some of the thoughts that were going through my mind at the same time. He was standing there alone, security was around him, but I didn’t look at them at all. I couldn’t take my eyes of Justin. It felt like it was only me and him in the entire world. I walked to him and he said “Hey sweetie!” I was speechless. He called me sweetie! I remember that we were leaning against each other to hug, but I got a blackout when our cheeks touched, if you know what I mean? It’s depressing to don’t remember how it was when my chubby cheeks met his sexy jawline. I’m not good at describing how a boy smell, but he smelled very good. We took a picture and I was so starstruck and I tried to tell myself to smile. I would probably only get this one photo with Justin. After the picture was taken I told him that I loved him and he said “Love you too”. I started talking while he was replying me. I was so stressed, because I knew that my time was soon over. I told him that it was my birthday and he smiled at me and replied “Aww, happy birthday sweetie!” Straight after we met I started crying like never before. I couldn’t believe that I had just met the one I love the most.
We went into the arena. We were so close to the stage. Cody Simpson and Carly Rae Jepsen warmed up and I love them both. It was a good experience seeing them perform. I stood with the runway, but there was one girl in front of me though. The ones who had bought meet and greet got to stand with the runway, but I just did it even though the security said no when I asked. Our actual seats were row 7 seats 4-5. Really good seats, but I wanted to stand as close to him as possible. While we were waiting for Justin, I saw Jonathan Rabon, Johnny Erasme and Shaun Evaristo. It seemed like nobody knew who they were, but I freaked out. I asked them to get a picture, and Johnny said that it had to happen quickly, because they didn’t want everyone to run to them. I only got a picture with Johnny, because I didn’t want to bother Jon Boogie and Shaun, because they were having a conversation. Allison and Kenny walked past me twice, and I wish that I talked to them or asked for a picture, but they looked busy and I was starstruck.
The countdown started and my heart was beating faster and faster. Justin came down on stage with the wings. He is an angel. He kicked the show off with singing “All Around The World”. All I could think about when I saw him perform was the fact that he had called me sweetie, told me that he loves me and also wished me a happy birthday. We had have a conversation and hugged. Is this real life? Everything about the show was perfect. His voice, his dancemoves and of course the spectacular scene show. I don’t want to say more about the show, because it’s funnier when you don’t know what exactly to expect. There are also a lot of you that have already been to the Believe Tour, so it’s not that interesting for you. This is the best birthday ever! Nothing can top this.
The next day I was so excited for my picture to come out. I didn't know what to expect. At that point I wasn't even sure if I smiled and looked into the camera. I was positively surprised when I saw our photo. I smile on the picture, but you can see that I'm shocked too. I didn't know that he was holding his arm around my waist until I saw the picture. I didn't even remember what he was wearing except a grey hoodie and a snapback. I was very excited to see how he looked at the photo too, because sometimes he looks so sad... He looked so freaking sexy. The only negative thing is that he is quite skinny, so he made my face look chubby. I cried of happiness after looking at our photo.
Dreams do come true if you work hard to make it happen. If you don’t have money to buy tickets, then you should try to get a job or ask your parents if you can do something for them and earn money for it. To those of you who want to meet him, we all know that the chances are small, but if you don’t give up it might happen. Maybe this year, or maybe in five years. Just keep supporting Justin and your day will come. It’s worth the wait!
BELIEVE!
