Hello, my name is Saidah Belo-Osagie, and I have been a devoted belieber ever since late summer ‘09. I know a lot of people says this, but I am so happy that there is a website for Bieber experiences, because it has taught me to truly NEVER SAY NEVER. I will admit, before a couple of these experiences I will be sharing in about 3.7 seconds, I said ‘never’ quite a lot. I don’t have that much room to discuss at length about my JB concerts on 10/10/09, and 8/28/10, but they were absolutely amazing! His presence, confidence, and swagger makes him such an driven performer, and I’m so happy I got to be apart of those concerts and see all that work he puts in for his fans. This year, on 1/16/11 at 1:18 am, Justin Bieber RTed me! It was so unexpected, because usually to get his attention, I spam him with like 25 tweets. Since it was really late, and I couldn’t fall asleep, I just tweeted him once and he retweeted. One of the OLLGs was actually the first one to tweet me, and when I went on his page, I basically went cross-eyed; I was in so much disbelief I was crying and freaking out. Now, the most recent. I went to the Today Show on June 23rd . Justin Bieber was promoting his new fragrance, Someday (which by the way smells uh-ma-zing!) I woke up at 4am, so I could take the train there. My parents ended up taking me to the train at 6, so my first thought was,”I’m screwed.” I ended up getting to the city at 6:30. As I was running to the building, I already saw this line that was a block long. I was supposed to meet my friend Haylee (@baconbeacon6, she’s not really a belieber, but she still appreciates him), but she wasn’t there! I just calmly went on line, hoping they would let me in. To my surprise, the line was going by really fast. When I got in, the entire space was surrounded, and there was no place I could stand in that was not reserved or taken. I just stood by these 2 nice grandmas that were so sweet, they said when Justin came out, me and my friend could go in front of them! Unfortunately this lady next to us was being really stubborn and saying how my friend couldn’t stand with me and everything. Ok, I understand there are 40 yr olds that are fans of him, but really? You’re going to get into a fight with a 15 year old girl over a 17 year old boy? Luckily, it worked out, so that me and my friend squeezed ourselves into the front quite comfortably. As we stood for about 2 hours waiting for him to come, a lady who worked at the Today Show went through the crowd and gave me and my friend a sample of the perfume. Then some minutes later, another lady came and gave me a ‘Someday’ shirt, and said I could have it as long as I was wearing it haha, I guess I was apart of the whole promoting tool, which worked out for me because I was on TV more. Afterwards, The last lady was pushing her way till she came to me and asked if I wanted a huge poster to hold up to the camera. I was just like, ‘Omg yes!’ The fact that I was one of the only ones in my section that got this 3 foot cardboard of Justin Bieber’s face with the Someday perfume on it was so exciting, and it’s a great momento to the BEST morning of my life! As we were waiting for Justin Bieber to come, there would always be some random girls screaming, and I would get the biggest panic attack because I always though JB was like right there. Finally, he came out. I had never seen him so close up, so I was screaming like crazy. C’mon he was RIGHT THERE. I was in so much disbelief I thought I was dreaming. He was soon gravitating closer and closer to my side. He basically just went around spraying people’s hands with perfume and saying hi or smiling. He was so beautiful! Then he finally came about a foot away from me , and my heart was pounding. 2 years of preparing what I was going to say to him when I met him, just went out of my head. I was speechless. He came to me, smiled, and said, “Do you want me to spray you with perfume?” He was staring at me and I just went, “OH MY GOSH PLEASE DO!!” He smiled again and held my hand and sprayed my wrist-his hands are so soft omfb!!!! From the video, it looks like he is proposing to me because he is looking down at my hand, and I am gasping like he just asked me to be his wife! Then after that, I was like, “Do you want to take a picture with me?” He said: “Of course!!” Haylee took the picture of me and him. I just turned to look at him, and out of nowhere went, “Thank you so much like omg you don’t understand!!!” He winked at me and said ‘No problem’ and rubbed my shoulder. Right there and then, I could have sworn I died. I had his book in my hand, and I think he expected me to ask him to autograph it, which I was planning on doing, but no words were coming out of my mouth, it was like some Bieber phenomenon! Haylee had to basically hold me up from fainting! The basic moral of this story is that good things happen to those that wait. I did not think I was going to meet JBiebs in the near future at all, and I made countless 11:11 wishes, hoping that SOMEDAY I would meet him. But honestly, the day before I was so sad because my mom wouldn’t let me pay $135-$150 to meet him at Macy’s, and I didn’t win the M&Gs on the radio either. The fact that I got the best experience of my life without paying, and waiting says something. NEVER SAY NEVER!! I know I did, but I will nev…I mean I will not ever say it again!! -@AppleSaidurJDB Here’s a clip of me with him at the Today Show!! (fast forwards to the 1:02 mark). Some of it was cut off, but it’s okay! Read the original post: Hello, my name is Saidah Belo-Osagie, and I have been a devoted…
