I'm a Belieber

In my 10 years at Top Billing I have travelled to just about everywhere, but funny enough, never Australia or New Zealand!  So I was more than excited to finally go Down Under for an interview with Justin Bieber!

I can't really say that I've ever been a huge Justin Bieber fan, but as father to a 12 year old daughter, I am well informed and hear his music on a daily basis.

I knew it was going to be a tough one, long flights, only myself and Presenter Search finalist Lauren Blackwell, no extra hands, but I was up for the challenge!
 
I was in schock to see the young girls and even some Moms line the streets, camping out, all for a glimpse of the young man.  They handed Lauren gifts, cards, chocolates and flowers to please please give to him.  The last time I saw women go this crazy was when Elvis took to the stage!
 
The Live show was really good, I enjoyed it more than I expected to and the guy is really talented.  His crew was really great to work with and there was an amazing vibe backstage!  We were allocated a 20 minute slot for the interview and set-up.  Lauren handled herself very well, but was a ball of nerves!  Justin was very patient and helpful, he tried to put her at ease and made jokes all the way.

Australia was amazing!  We did a short tour of Sydney in between the Live Show and the interview.  I can't wait for my next visit and to see more of the beautiful country.
 
Overall a very good experience and the signed CD is sure to get me that "Dad of the year Award" and I can now also say, "I get it, I'm a Belieber!"
