Justin Bieber pelted with eggs in Australia
Edited on Tue May-03-11 12:58 AM by AsahinaKimi
Justin Bieber received a not-so-warm welcome while performing in Sydney, Australia over the weekend: according to the Huffington Post, a few anti-Biebers in the audience pelted the teenage pop star with eggs during his concert.


Amateur video of the incident (watch it below) shows Bieber dancing it out to his song “One Time” when several eggs come out of nowhere, slamming into the stage and narrowly missing the Canadian singer and his back-up dancers. To give credit where credit’s due, Bieber barely missed a step and continued the routine for his song and gave the rest of his non-egg-throwing fans the show they paid to see. (Bieber’s assistant reportedly ran out to clean the eggs from the stage while the 17-year-old took a break.)

1. Well, that's not very nice. :^( The anti-Biebers could have just stayed home and
then they wouldn't have had to listen to him sing. :shrug:

4. Yeah, I've never understood that....
...you may dislike Bieber's music, but at least Bieber didn't pay money for music he had no intention of listening to, and for eggs he had no intention of eating.

People are idiots.

6. Some people just keep to the old traditions ya know.
Back a ways, you always took food to a performance. If you liked the performace, the performers got to eat it. If you didn't they wore it.

7. I miss those days (punk rock). A great interactive experience with the performers.
It can go both ways. When your audience sucks, there is nothing wrong with spraying them with your beer.

14. Used or unused? Stoopid me, it's Punk. Used of course.
Actually I was going back a ways further to the origins of the phrase "Sing for your supper."

9. There's a pretty serious lout problem here . . .
Particularly in the 18-25 age range.

It's traditionally a time of life where one is trying (not too hard) to figure out which end is up with your life, and trying (very hard) to get laid and loaded. This sort of behavior (and worse -- a lot of assaults in bars) is the result.

I'm not saying that's who did this, but I'd bet a small amount of money I'm guessing right.

8. The problem with being a sensation
Especially a teen sensation, is that sensations wear off.

11. Throwing eggs at a skinny little teenager is hardly impressive. If you want to throw eggs,
grow a spine and go throw them at Metallica or someone. :evilgrin:

(Caveat: I am very much a Metallica fan and do not think they deserve to be egged, but I would have a lot of respect for anyone with the guts to do it...)

27. How about throwing rocks at Nickleback, does that count?

No chickens were harmed in the making of that video. Its the vegan way to heckle a crappy band.

20. Anyone who throws things at performers on stage should be brought up on charges.
When you're up there with the lights in your face you can't see the audience or what's flying out of it toward you.

Bieber sucks, but even he doesn't deserve to be assaulted when defenseless.

Seriously. And why buy tickets to see someone you hate? Aren't there any good bands in Australia? :shrug:
