21,000 fans shriek as the teen idol took the stage after a controversy-ridden week of avoiding the Holy Land’s rabid paparazzi.
Let’s be honest: The music was the least important thing about Justin Bieber’s concert at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park on Thursday.
It was all about: “OMIGOD, IT’S JUSTIN BIEBER IN THE FLESH!” After enduring traffic jams that put half of Tel Aviv in gridlock, thousands of teenage (and younger) girls gathered to scream at the top of their lungs, wave signs and beg their moms for a poster or a T-shirt featuring the object of their affection.
And the moms? They seemed all too happy to oblige.
Adi, 10 and her sister Shira, eight, were on their way to the “golden circle” – the section closest to the stage – and could hardly contain their excitement as they ran towards the front.
“My favorite song is ‘Love Me,’ because it has the nicest words,” Shira said, but giggled when asked if she understood what the English lyrics to the song, which samples The Cardigans’ 90s hit “Love Fool,” mean.
Her father treated the girls with the NIS 500 tickets – and made sure to clarify that his daughters are “intelligent, not the kind that scream,” despite the fact that they seemed to be pulling his arms out of their sockets en route to the front.
