贾斯汀比伯在印度假唱,引起民愤,十分尴尬
Tens of thousands of mumbaikars decided to brave the hours-long sweatfest in the scorching heat on May 10 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, which typically seats 56,000 people. The reason for the mania? Justin Bieber’s first-ever live concert in India. It’s not every day that global celebrities like the 23-year-old Canadian singer perform in India. The organizers went all out, shelling out $4 million on arrangements, cnn reported. The gig marked the most expensive concert in India ever. Before arriving in India, Bieber’s team reportedly delivered an extremely long list of demands. The singer was also meant to get Z+ security—a special protection the government provides to just 36 influential people in the country. Bieber had also called for a chopper but ended up journeying to the concert venue by road. In the hours leading up to his concert, he even walked into a Starbucks to grab coffee. The “Baby” singer also won hearts by paying a visit to underprivileged kids. Everything was going smoothly until the concert began and the singer began crooning—well, technically, the problem was that he didn’t croon. Fans eagerly awaiting Bieber’s biggest smash hits like “Where Are You Now,” “Sorry,” “Boyfriend,” “Love Yourself” amid other popular tracks, were subject to a botched lip-sync performance for most of the night. Worse, it seemed he didn’t even try to make his act believable. Comedian Ashish Shakya from the popular comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB) described one such moment in a Facebook note, saying, “Bieber was wiping his face with a towel such that the towel covered his entire face, and the vocals just played on unchanged.” Many lashed out on Twitter, criticizing Bieber’s deadpan expression and ghar ke kapde (clothes worn at home). “@justinbieber dude u might be a rockstar , but don't take India for granted! Be a man #fakeconcert” — neha singhal (@nehasinghal15) May 11, 2017 “Why #bieber is dressed so shabbily @ his 1st concert in India, like he is playing basketball in his driveway ?, @justinbieber” — NewEnglandRa (@NewenglandRa) May 11, 2017 “@justinbieber just disappointed n heartless 😢😢😢 whatever u did here in India pls never repeat anywhere u might get hurt badly pls ….😢😢” — Mrsbiebersince2010 (@punam123gurung) May 11, 2017 The performance wasn’t the only buzzkill that night. According to Firstpost, a one-liter bottle of water was marked up nearly five times and was selling for Rs100($1.55). And thanks to the rules, after venturing outside, standing in long queues and buying the water, you weren't even allowed to take it inside. “People are complaining about Justin Bieber lip syncing. WTF? My only complain with the show was I paid Rs 200 for a packet of cold samosas” — Atul Khatri (@one_by_two) May 11, 2017 “But there’s always a silver lining, right? I was never a fan of Justin Bieber. But, today – he made me one. There's no traffic in Mumbai because of him. I NOW BELIEBE.” — Kamlesh joshi Kj (@KamleshjoshiKj2) May 11, 2017 |
