I can't believe my first blog is going to be about this, but here it goes....First blog post subject is....Justin Bieber! Don't moan...at least not yet. See I woke up this morning to my 12 year old daughter reminding me that..... TODAY IS THE DAY!!! She started telling me about the plans she made for us to go this evening as a family to watch the new Never Say Never: Justin Bieber movie. Now right away, I was the one moaning. I laid there thinking to myself...I knew this was coming, but why so soon? Then I started smiling as I pictured my husband and 19 year old son with this certain look on their faces while they watched this movie! LOL So I decided to spare them the misery of having to sit through it. I would take one for the team, cowgirl up and go see Justin Bieber. At one point I even contemplated going to another movie while my daughter went to see JB, but I couldn't do that to her. She was so excited...after all...she is his #1 FAN!!
So we are sitting there waiting for the movie to start and this woman enters the auditorium. She states that she is the Theater Manager and we are going to be watching a concert on screen. She gave everyone permission to get up and sing and dance and have a good time....there was a catch...NO STANDING ON THE SEATS!! I thought to myself "Oh NO she di..in't"! What did I get myself into?? I'm in an auditorium filled with young girls with Bieber Fever (my daughter included) and I can only picture how this is going to turn out.
To make a long story longer, minutes into this film I find myself singing to some of the songs...half way through, my head is bobbin' and my legs are bouncin'...at the end my daughter and I are dancing in our seats together singing "Baby Baby Baby"....don't judge me! =)
Overall, I would say it was a pretty good movie. I would honestly give it 4 out of 5 stars. I left there with an understanding of why my daughter loves this kid so much. He is a cutie patootie and very talented, but it was more than that. He seems to be a very well rounded, down to earth, young man with a big heart and a big love for his fans! He got where he is (which was no easy task) because of the closeness and support of his family and friends...as well as his fans, of course. Besides, he's a New York Yankees fan...that alone makes him ROCK! =)
At the heart of it all though, I pray all the young people that watch this movie, walk away (including my daughter) inspired, knowing that if you are going to dream...dream BIG...and don't ever let anyone tell you that you're never gonna make it!
After all that, I leave you with this....
