I can’t say I have been there from his very first YouTube video…

I can’t say I have been there from his very first YouTube video but I can say from the time I heard ‘Baby’ and ‘One Time’ on the radio, I was a fan. What really put me over the top? Seeing Never Say Never. The instant I saw that movie I got Bieber Fever. That same night I went home I looked him up and listened to all his music and learned almost every song in two days. When the director’s fan-cut came out I HAD to go see it again so I took my friend Lacey. She got Bieber Fever instantly too. From there out I was defiantly a Belieber. I just couldn’t get enough. I began listening to his music all the time. I was valedictorian for my high school and even mentioned Never Say Never and Justin in my speech. The summer of 2012, Lacey and I went to Stratford, Canada. It is beautiful there! It was so peaceful and calm. We went to all the locations mentioned on this special map they have made up for Justin. Even Madeline’s Diner which Justin “stamped” on the app. We even went to Pizza Pizza (the place they go to in Never Say Never) and the same guy was working there! It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait to go back. Since we didn’t see Justin while in Stratford, we could not wait for our concert. I will never forget the day the tickets went on sale. I remember everyone talking about Justin being on the Ellen Show on Thursday of that week and that is when he would announce his tour and ticket sales. So I was waiting for that day. But when I woke up Wednesday I had a text from Lacey saying that tickets went on sale that day at noon! I had to babysit that day so at 7:30 in the morning I was running out of my room to go get on the computer to make sure this was true! It was so I began looking at all the tour dates. He wasn’t coming to my city or even my state so we had to figure out a place that was close because we knew we had to go to this concert. I had to go babysit so I had to take my laptop and make sure I could access the internet. Lacey was in class still so she was relying on me to get this tickets. I was shaking. When 11:50 come around I opened as many tabs as I could for the two closest cities to us. I had already transferred money for how much we thought the VIP would be because we knew we wanted those. When 12 hit I was clicking all the things I could to get these tickets. When I clicked on VIP they were more than I had planned! So I clicked them anyways and was watching the little clock that says how much time you have left to buy them so I could transfer more money. It said I still had at least 3 minutes left so I clicked to continue. When I clicked it said these tickets were no longer available! I was freaking out because it said I had time left. As soon as that happened I didn’t know what to do. This was everything we wanted. Lacey called me like 5 seconds after that happened and said she had tickets and she was about to put in her credit card information. I was so excited! She wasn’t even supposed to be home so luckily she got out of class early or we would have never got the opportunity we got. We started a countdown and just couldn’t wait. As it got closer I got more and more excited. I couldn’t believe I would finally be meeting Justin Bieber, this amazing guy that I thought I would never meet or even see in person. The day came and I skipped classes that day so we could get down there in plenty of time because we could not be late. We got to the arena and we just couldn’t believe we were there. When the doors opened for VIP we went in and got all the stuff we had to get. While waiting in line Kenny came to the top of the stairs and that’s when I knew it was real. They took us up and we had to wait another 20-30 minutes. Then Dan Kanter came out and that was even more real. Behind the black tarp we saw feet and knew it must be time, that Justin had arrived. They opened the curtain just for a split second to catch a glimpse of him. AHHH! I couldn’t believe he was like 10 feet away. The meet and greet started and it was then our turn to go in. I couldn’t believe Justin was right there. He was so tiny! The moment was so fast though, I didn’t have time to take it in. It was in, take a picture and go. I couldn’t even tell him my name. The only thing I said was “Can I have a hug?” and he said “Of course you can have a hug!” So if Justin, you read this, my name is Skylr and I met you in Louisville . I just want him to know my name. But it was an amazing moment to know Justin Bieber put his arm around me. After the meet and greet, we had to go back outside and wait to go back in. When we got to our seats I couldn’t believe how close we were! I had never sat that close at a concert. It was amazing! Second row, so close. Carly Rae Jepsen came out first and during part of her performance she come over and touched my hand! She picked my hand out of all the hands! But anyways…I couldn’t wait for Justin to come out. When it was his turn to perform I was too excited. I just could not believe I was there. I was so close to the stage and so close to him performing. I did not want the night to end. It was a great show and it was so hard to leave. I want to go to another show so bad. So the night had to end but the memories will remain forever. It was an amazing night and I still could not believe I had met this amazing person that I had dreamed about meeting for 3 years. Justin is so inspiration and just an all-around great person. I did not think I would ever meet him but I did. So if you read this, do not stop believing because anything can happen. Do not give up on something you want. I never thought I would get to go to his concert, sit 2 nd row, and meet him but when I want something, I will not stop until I get it. Never Say Never and just Believe. I can cross two things off my bucket list: meeting Justin Bieber and going to Stratford, Canada. Now, I just need to get Justin to follow me on Twitter. Even though I’m 19, I am not afraid to admit I am a BELIEBER! I will stand up and support Justin til the end. Belieber Forever & Always. -@SDM15  Read the original: I can’t say I have been there from his very first YouTube video…

On November 20th, after being a fan of Justin since 2007, I…

On November 20th, after being a fan of Justin since 2007, I finally got to live my dream. Last year, once I hit 9k followers on my Twitter (@bieberisakeeper) I decided to speak out about bullying awareness and talk about my very own experiences being bullied. I created an anti-bullying campaign which I named the “Kill Them With Kindness” campaign – after one of Justin & Alfredo’s favorite sayings , and so far have raised over $300 for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. After a year of hard work, and tons of hours spent promoting my wristbands, my good karma finally caught up to me. I sent a few of my anti-bullying wristbands and a letter explaining my campaign/love for Justin to the director of all the radio stations in my small home town : my dream quickly became a reality. I was taking a nap after school on November 15th, and when I woke up, I had a tweet, phone call, and email from the radio director. I called him back, and after thanking me for my wristbands and calling me a hero and dedicated Belieber, he asked me if I’ve ever seen Justin in concert. Once I said I had, he replied with, “Good, because you know the show in Pittsburgh is sold out right? – The only thing I could get you were meet and greets.” As soon as the words “meet and greets” escaped his lips, I started to bawl on the phone. He said he’d sent my letter to someone in Justin’s crew, and they had given him two meet and greets because they believed I deserved to meet Justin . It was absolutely unreal. For the five days to come before the concert, I couldn’t eat, or sleep, or do anything. I couldn’t believe that after four years of being a Belieber, I was finally going to meet Justin. On November 20th, my grandma, mom, best friend and I drove 2 1/2 hours to Pittsburgh. We stood outside in the morning by the tour buses with a bunch of other beliebers, and I got a quick wave from Kenny Hamilton, who may I add, is absolutely adorable . We also talked to the security, and when they said Justin wouldn’t be coming out, we headed inside for the m&g. At about 3:10 we went inside to meet the guy from Justin’s crew who gave us meet and greets. Even after they put the purple m&g wristband on my arm – I couldn’t believe it. It seemed like forever waiting, but eventually, this lady named Lisa from Justin’s crew came and made an announcement that we would be starting soon. Unfortunately, we couldn’t give him anything, or take any of our own pics, or ask him to sign anything, but frankly, I didn’t care. I was meeting Justin freaking Bieber . We had to go in with six people, and I made 4 amazing other Belieber friends who were in the picture with me. We’ll share this moment forever. Soon the line started to move, and before I knew what was happening, I was only a few people away from meeting Justin Bieber. Kenny walked by and said hi, and when I asked him how he was, he replied, tired. He still smiled his perfect Kenny Hamilton smile though, even if he was exhausted. I had written about 7 letters and attached 7 of my anti-bullying wristbands to them, and since I couldn’t give anything personally to Justin, I dropped about five of the wristbands off with the gift guy before the m&g. Finally, it was our turn to meet Justin. I let my friend walk in first, and the security guards were quick to position us for our picture. Unfortunately, I wasn’t directly next to Justin. I’d like to tell you what the other girls looked like or even the security, but truth is, all I saw was Justin. It was like I had tunnel vision on steroids. All I saw was Bieber. My friend asked him if he could smile in our picture, and he replied, “Mmmm maybe,” with a little chuckle. And look at our picture. No smile. Biebs is a prankster and such a diva – I can’t help but love him even more. Once the picture was taken, I quickly stepped in front of Justin. He didn’t even seem real. Honestly, he’s perfect. Everything about him is just amazing. I looked him in the eyes, and I was like, “Justin! Can I have a hug please?” And then the security began like pushing me out. Justin put his arm out and blocked the security and gave me the biggest, warmest, most perfect hug on the entire planet, and then he looked me in the eyes, and was like “Thank you sweetie.” No Justin, thank you. Haha! It was amazing. Everyone I had gone in with was like shaking and crying and I was still in disbelief. It was just an indescribable experience. After that, my friend and I had gotten tickets in section 107, which was all the way in the back of the arena. At about 6 at night, we checked for tickets again, and this time, there were floor seats available! We ended up being 19th row on the floor! During the concert Alfredo came and walked next to me and I gave him a letter and a wristband and he hugged and thanked me . Justin’s concert was absolutely amazing, and remembering that I had met him only a few hours before was just insane. Honestly, I didn’t even realize all that had happened until the next morning when I was looking through my pictures. It was so surreal, and absolutely one of the best, if not the best, night of my life. Read the original here: On November 20th, after being a fan of Justin since 2007, I…

Every year for the past four years, at every concert I’ve been…

Every year for the past four years, at every concert I’ve been to, I’ve tried to meet Justin. From hotel stalking, to just simply going to buyouts and waiting outside the tour bus, it’s never happened.  It all started this time with me not having any tickets to the Believe tour for Houston, Texas. I didn’t think I would get tickets, but the next day my local radio station started giving out tickets. I ended up being the first one to win tickets from them! I expected to go and enjoy the concert, with no intentions of meeting him. My friend then told me to join BieberFever.com and enter the contest for meet and greets! I entered, and ended up not winning. But my sister, who didn’t send in a picture, but sent in an essay, and showed Hoogs how #BiebsMeetDestinyAndFaith was trending, won!  The day of the concert came and I was SO nervous. I went to the venue around 10 AM, and hung around the venue all day with my friends. I had butterflies in my stomach all day long. I literally felt so sick, and could not eat at all! I mean, I WAS MEETING JUSTIN BIEBER. I couldn’t believe it myself. We got our meet and greets around 3 pm and went in line. We were in line for a good hour, and the lady said, “Make friends! Six girls in a picture!” My group got together, and since me and my twin sister have never met Justin, my friends let us stand next to him. When we got to go in, I walked in first and saw him. He looked perfect. Literally, his face is flawless. He had on a brown shirt, a SnapBack and glasses. I said, “Hi Justin” nervously, and he said “Hey sweetie!” and held out his arms for a hug. I hugged him, then the other girls poured in and said hi and got their hugs. Before we took our picture, I said “Justin, can I kiss you?” And he said, “No there’s too many girls, lets just take a regular picture, ok?” And I was like “Oh ok…” and he said “Next time we meet, you can kiss me.” I was like ok cool, but on the inside my ovaries exploded into like a million pieces. They snapped the picture and we hugged him goodbye one last time and left. Even though it was only like 2 minutes, I’m so grateful I got to meet him. If you haven’t met him, don’t lose hope because I know it will happen. It happened for me! Just believe.   More here: Every year for the past four years, at every concert I’ve been…

Saturday, October 20th, 2012. My friend Mary, my Dad, and I…

Saturday, October 20th, 2012. My friend Mary, my Dad, and I (Courteney) all drove down to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the concert that would take place on Sunday, the following day. After we arrived at our hotel and got situated, there wasn’t much to do so I pulled out my laptop. At that moment I remembered that Mary and I had entered a contest through the BieberFever fan club only a few days prior, and that the winners were supposed to receive an e-mail within 24 hours before the concert. I quickly opened my inbox and froze. In my inbox sat a reply e-mail from the BieberFever fan club. My stomach dropped. I clicked on the e-mail and it read: “Congratulations, Courteney! You’re officially invited to attend the photo meet and greet TOMORROW NIGHT October 21st in Milwaukee!” I immediately went hysterical. Barely able to talk, with all the breath I had left, I screamed to Mary. “Mary! Mary! Mary! We won! We won!” “What?!?!” She panicked. She quickly darted over to the computer and read the e-mail. We both went into complete shock, dropped to the ground, and started bawling our eyes out. We couldn’t believe what we were reading. It felt like I was literally in a dream. After supporting Justin for almost four years, my dream was finally going to come true. After seeing pictures upon pictures and videos upon videos of fans meeting Justin, tomorrow night, October 21st, 2012, was finally going to be my opportunity to meet my idol.  Sunday, October 21st, 2012. Today was the day that my life was going to change forever. I set my alarm for 5:30am so we could arrive to the venue early and see if anything would happen. Apparently we slept through the alarm, because I woke up and checked the time, and it was 9:30am. Mary and I jumped out of bed and started getting ready. After we were all ready to go, we went to the BMO Bradley Center, the venue where Justin would be playing. There was already a bunch of girls lined up at the gates waiting for something exciting to happen. After standing there in the cold for a few minutes, across the gate, I saw a hand wave. It was Laney (@BlazingBiebzz) and Elyse (@Fever4Biebs), the girls I had purchased tickets for to see the show that night. I ran over to them and we greeted each other. After finding out that they’d been there for quite some time already and that Justin had arrived earlier, across the distance I heard someone yell “Courteney!” I looked over and noticed that it was Brooke, (@WISimpsonizer). I waved back and after a while Mary and I went back to the other side of the gates and greeted them. We were both extremely excited because she too was meeting Justin that night with another owner on her Twitter account, Kelsey. On and off cars would enter through the gates, leave the gates, some of Justin’s dancers would enter through the gates, leave the gates. At one point, Nick DeMoura went around and took pictures with some fans. I was lucky enough to get a picture with him! Michael Vargas also did the same, and I got a picture with him as well! A little while later, Kenny rode around on a segway greeting fans. We checked our phones and noticed that it was almost 4:00pm, the time we were supposed to be lined up for the meet and greet. I was extremely anxious, nervous, excited, and just all around in complete awe! It was hard for me to take in that in a few short minutes, my dream was finally going to become a reality. Every minute the line inched its way further and closer to the doors that we would soon enter to meet Justin. Eventually, it came the time where we were next in line to go into the meet and greet room. A security guard attempted to get everyone into groups of six, which we definitely did not want to be in, because of course we all wanted to be close to Justin. We were lucky enough to get to go in as a group of four, with Mary, Brooke, Kelsey, and myself. I was happy that I got to go in with people that I knew at least. The security guard directed us to the doors and I swear to God I thought my knees were going to buckle. Directly inside the doors was a black curtain. Right next to the black curtain stood Kenny Hamilton and another guy collecting gifts and letters from fans to Justin. Earlier that day, while we were waiting out at the gates, I had written a letter to Justin that I wanted to give to him when I would meet him. Praying to God that the letter I had written to Justin would get to him safely , I handed it to the guy collecting all of the fan stuff, and asked him if he would make sure it got to Justin. He responded something like “Yes I will. I’ve been doing this for three years.” That made me feel a little better. Just as we were being escorted in through the curtain, I greeted Kenny . At that moment, my nerves took over and from then on out, I can only remember bits and pieces of what happened. Behind the curtain stood someone that I had looked up to for so many years, someone who inspires me every day to not give up, to chase my dreams, and to believe. Behind that curtain stood my idol. Behind that curtain stood Justin Bieber. My heart sped up to about a thousand miles per hour. My stomach dropped. Yet the biggest smile arose on my face. We walked over to Justin and all I remember saying was something like, “Hi Justin, nice to meet you!” I don’t even remember if I said my name. Then we took our picture. I was so worried that the picture wasn’t going to turn out well, because I don’t even remember looking at the camera. After the picture was taken, I looked back at Justin and said, “Thank you so much Justin.” Don’t quote me on this, but I’m almost positive he said something like, “Of course sweetie.” I also remember him thanking us a bunch of times. I saw one of the girls in my group ask for a hug from Justin, so I decided to also. After I hugged Justin, I thanked him again and yelled, “Good luck!” As I was walking away, I turned back for one last glance. After we all exited the curtains and made our way out, I basically broke down. The last thing I wanted to do was embarrass my self in front of Justin by crying, so I’m glad I at least kept myself together until we exited the meet and greet. I turned around to see Brooke and Kelsey talking to Alfredo. We cried and freaked out for a good fifteen minutes after that. I just couldn’t believe that I had finally gotten the opportunity to meet my inspiration. It all happened so quickly. Even though I barely got to talk to Justin and he definitely doesn’t know my name or would ever be able to recognize my face, I still feel extremely gratefully and blessed that I got the opportunity. Even though the meet and greet was over, the concert had yet to begin. We were thrilled when we got to our seats for the concert! We were sitting in section one, row SSS. There was a catwalk at the concert and our row was the last row of section one, and was directly in line with the end of the catwalk. Only section one was allowed to go up to the catwalk and stand next to it throughout the concert. They were the best seats I’ve ever had at a concert because of the catwalk. I got to touch Carly Rae Jepsen’s hand, a dancer’s hand, and had the experience to see Justin right in front of my face for a majority of the concert. I also got to touch Justin’s hand! Justin’s performance was absolutely incredible. October 21st, 2012 was my fifth Justin Bieber concert and the best at that. After the concert, we lined up by the gates again in hopes that Justin or any of the crew would come out to greet us. Unfortunately they didn’t, but we did get to see Moshe and Kenny from a distance, as well as a bunch of the other members of the crew, so that was awesome . As all of the tour buses exited through the gates and everyone started to leave the venue, I was devastated that my experience was over, but extremely happy and grateful that I got the opportunity. I know there are hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people out there who don’t even have the opportunity to see Justin live, so for what I’ve been given, I feel extremely blessed, fortunate, and am so grateful for. From here on out, I am going to do my best to help Beliebers all over make there dreams a reality. And if any of you reading this are in that position, I want you to know that you cannot give up. You have to stay strong, keep your head up, believe, and continue to fight for your dreams.  Because one day, if you want something bad enough, it will become a reality. I never knew my dream could possibly come true would until now. In fact, I never honestly understood the true meaning of ‘Believe’ until now. I feel like this experience has not only made me happier, but has changed me as a person as well. I’ve finally realized that dreams do come true. So a huge “thank you” to Justin for everything he’s done and continues to do for us Beliebers. It’s incredible. This is my best Justin Bieber experience, and I hope you enjoyed reading it! -@BieberOperation (Courteney) Read the rest here: Saturday, October 20th, 2012. My friend Mary, my Dad, and I…

Carrie Underwood Concert Giveaway: Win Free Tickets!

My name is Kaliye and I met my whole entire world and saw him in…

My name is Kaliye and I met my whole entire world and saw him in concert for the first time ever on October 26th, 2012 in Kansas City, MO. It all started when I began watching Justin’s YouTube videos in 2010 and I instantly fell in love with him. I started telling all my friends and family members about him, created a Twitter account dedicated to him, etc. I pretty much became obsessed with him. As the years went by, my love for him grew stronger. There were times when I felt so depressed and my only escape was his music and his voice. He kept me going. When I first heard that he was going to go on another tour, I was so happy and I was determined to meet him when he came to my city. I was trying to do everything to make it happen and nothing seemed to be working. My concert was only a week away and I started losing hope and I started to give up. That was when a miracle happened: these 3 girls named Justice, Angela, and Lauren told crew members about me and tried doing everything they can to get me to meet Justin when he came to Kansas. All of their hard work paid off and I received a meet and greet email. I started freaking out, I couldn’t believe that I was going to be meeting Justin Drew Bieber. It meant so much to me. When October 26th came, I chose to skip school and go to the arena really early so I can help my best friend and my other friend get tickets to the concert. We spent the whole day trying to find someone that would be willing to sell them cheap tickets. We couldn’t find anyone so we started losing hope and I had to go to will call to get my meet and greet bracelet. When I came back, I found out that my friends ended up getting tickets. I was so happy for them and seeing them smile made me smile. That’s when the security guard told me to get in line because the meet and greets were starting. I was so excited, I couldn’t believe that this whole thing was actually happening. We finally got in the building and there was a lady in the middle of the hallway telling us all the rules. We had to get in groups of 6 so I just got in a group with some lady and these two girls that I became friends with when I was standing in line. When it was finally our turn to meet Justin, we all started freaking out and squealing. We got in, and at first I couldn’t find Justin. All I saw were security guards, so I walked further. That’s when I saw him. He was so perfect, he didn’t even look real. He was right in front of me and I literally just stood there admiring him. When he was done greeting the other girls, he turned to me and gave me the sweetest smile ever. I started walking towards him and he reached his hand out to me and said “Hey love.” I swear I almost lost it. Did Justin just call me love? I stood right next to him and he put his arms around me and I put my arms around his waist to take the picture. For some reason, I felt comfortable in his arms. I wasn’t shaking or anything, I felt calm and I felt safe. He was leaning on my shoulder and he smelled so good and I couldn’t believe that he was standing right next to me. I realized that I needed to say something quick so I said, “I love you so much!” and he smiled and told me that he loved me too. We finally took the picture (I’m the short girl on the right with the black shirt) and he gave me a little squeeze on the shoulder. It was time to leave and he told me thank you as I began walking out the door. I couldn’t believe that I just met Justin Bieber. He’s so perfect in real life and he’s so sweet. I started crying when I got out of the room and my friends ran over to me and we all started fangirling together. Then it was time for the concert and we all quickly went into the arena and found our seats. We saw Justin perform and he did amazing, I was so proud of him and the Believe tour was everything I expected it to be. I’ll never forget October 26th, 2012. It was the best day of my whole entire life. Thank you to everyone that made my dream possible. Thank you to all my friends for believing in me and trying to do everything you guys can to see me smile. It means the world to me. And to everyone else reading this, if you have a dream, NEVER give up on it. If you believe in yourself and work hard, anything is possible. -@StrongForJustin Go here to see the original: My name is Kaliye and I met my whole entire world and saw him in…

Making It Rain On Them Hoes: Serena Wins WTA Championship Title

This is Serena’s third time winning the championship. Ending the year on a good note, Serena is bringing in yet another win after she kicked Maria Sharapova’s azz (again). According to ESPN : “Now that I can be honest, I really wanted to win,” Williams said. “I wanted it so bad but I didn’t want to say it … It was really important for me to end the year with this title in particular.” Williams ended the season with a 58-4 record. Since her first-round loss at the French Open, the American is 31-1, winning Wimbledon, the Olympic gold medal and the U.S. Open. But because she did not play as well at the start of the year following injuries and illness, Williams will have to settle for the No. 3 ranking despite dominating the tour in the past few months. She finishes behind No. 2 Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka, who ends the year as the top-ranked player in the world despite losing to Sharapova in the semifinals. “I had such a good year, it was important to end on a good note. It was good for my sanity to win,” Williams said. “I really wanted it although I didn’t need it.” “Today she had another great serving day against me,” said Sharapova, who never had a break point. “If I’m playing well and doing everything right, It’s pretty difficult to beat me, without trying to sound too full of myself,” Williams said. “And I hate to lose.” Williams also became the oldest player, at age 31, to win the year-end championships and has seven titles this year. Big ups to Serena! Images via WENN

On October 8th, 2012 I had finally met my idol, Justin Bieber….

On October 8th, 2012 I had finally met my idol, Justin Bieber. Before anything happened my best friend (@kaytelinnn) and I knew we would be going to the concert; her parents had gotten the two of us tickets and we were so blessed to have them and have a guarantee on going to our idol’s show! My best friend and I were so lucky. On September 30, we both had left to do volunteer work for about five days; it was a camp where we were helping fifth graders learn about the beautiful outdoors. There was absolutely no service. Just the day after we left, something truly amazing happened to my mom and sister (@KaitlanFaucher). When we came back from our volunteering, we were completely exhausted! My mom and sister were so excited and wanted to rush us to my house to tell us the news. They finally sat us down so they could record us. We had no idea what was going on! They asked us how our trip was and everything and then they said that something happened when we were gone. They had won tickets from the radio station…..and they included meet & greets too! My friend started crying and I was screaming, we couldn’t believe we were actually going to meet our idol in about four days. It was so unreal. Fast forward to the day of the concert. Once we get there we ended up parking close to Justin’s tour buses and we saw a group of beliebers. We ended up standing there for a while to get a glimpse of Justin. We saw Carly Rae Jepsen walk past us and we saw Justin walk into his tour bus. We also saw Kenny, Fredo, Allison, and a bunch of Justin’s dancers drive in from shopping. We had finally got our meet and greet bracelets and we got in the line to go inside and meet Justin! We were towards the front so we didn’t have to wait a really long time. They wanted people to get in groups of six though and there were just two of us. There was a perfect group of six in front of us and a perfect group of six behind us, so we didn’t have any idea who we would end up going with. As we were waiting in line, I was facing my friend and all of a sudden she sees Dan Kanter walk by! After waiting a little bit, two girls who were in the front of the line and needed more people to go with them so my friend and I went up. So just the four of us would go in! When we got to them, we were the next ones in line and we gave a guard our letters for Justin. There was a black sheet area and we first saw Kenny! This was my first time seeing members of the crew and I couldn’t believe he was actually right there . Kenny then opened the sheet a little I could then see Alfredo, He was so close. I couldn’t believe that I was actually seeing these people that I had seen so many times on TV and Twitter. Then it is finally our turn to go inside and then I see Justin. When we had first got in, he was bent over looking at a photo they just took on the camera. Before our photo was taken with Justin, he had asked us if we were excited for the show, and of course we all were! Then the other two girls ran up to him and took either of his side. I made sure to stretch my arm so  that I could put my hand on his back. He is so soft! Then they took the picture and the flash was so bright. I was hoping I didn’t blink! Justin said, “Was that a good cheese?” and we all agreed it was! The girl standing next to me asked Justin if she could get a hug and he said, “Aw sure!” I was standing behind her and then Justin looks at me and then opened his arm so I could get in the hug too! Justin is so sweet, I am so grateful he included me! They then had us leave and I couldn’t believe that I had actually just met my idol. My shirt even smelled like him afterwards. I was so happy to see Justin was smiling real big in our picture. After meeting him I became more happy and confident. I am so incredibly blessed. We didn’t have great seats, but Justin put on an amazing show. If you still haven’t had your chance with Justin yet, never give up! I never thought I would meet Justin anytime soon and I was blessed with the opportunity to meet him for a minute. I am so grateful and thankful for my mom and sister winning those tickets! And I am so thankful for all the hard work Justin and his crew put into everything they do . I cannot thank them enough!  Justin is truly a great person! I hope you never give up on your dreams! Dreams do come true, and Justin has showed us that. Never Say Never! Always Believe!  -Danielle @TSandJBlover Go here to see the original: On October 8th, 2012 I had finally met my idol, Justin Bieber….
