Justin Bieber calls out award shows on Instagram
Yesterday, Justin Bieber took to Instagram in what seems like a bit of a sad rant about award shows. The comments he made appear as though he feels quite deflated and upset by how award ceremonies typically go. This comes a day after he performed and received the award for “Top Male Artist” at the Billboard Music Awards, but it turns out he wasn’t having a good time at all.
In the Instagram post, he writes:
“I don’t know about these award shows.. No disrespect to anybody at any of the shows or the people running it. Nothing but love for you guys and your support. But I don’t feel good when I’m there nor after. I try to think of it as a celebration but can’t help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance. A lot of people in the audience there to be seem worried about how much camera time they will get or who they can network with. When I’m doing a regular show I feel they are there for the right reasons and to strictly have a good time! But these award shows seem so hollow. I get the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look in the audience I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy. Sure there are people truly proud of others so I don’t want to knock them I’m just looking at the vast majority. I just think to myself if I’m living my purpose I want the reward to be fulfillment. I’m getting awarded for the things that I’m doing and not for who I am which is understandable I know it would probably be hard to calculate and award someone’s spirit lol. But When I do get these awards the temptation of putting my worth in what I do is so hard to fight!!!I am privileged and honored to be recognized by my peers in but in these settings I can’t feel the recognition. There’s an authenticity missing that I crave! And I wonder does anybody else..”
He finishes off by excusing his grammar: “Sorry not sorry about grammar it’s not my strong point.”
His post got a whole load of support from Beliebers on Instagram who gave him words of love, appreciation and encouragement. One user, @alex69madrid, said: “Simply said … Sadly in today’s world it does not matter what job one holds for any recognition if … Do not loose your passion nor purpose for what you believe in … life is too beautiful! Xo”.
Another, @donnaklimek, said: “I agree. Your performance was superb and you don’t need a trophy for their judgement, you can see the genuine happiness you bring your fans at every one of your shows.It’s amazing and real. No one can buy that. Your are loved and appreciated. You bring us so much enjoyment and your real beleibers respect your needs and want you to be happy. Thank you Justin.”
