Justin Bieber on 'Today': When they're not screaming, Bieber fans are kind of adorable

Morning show interviews are generally dismissible fodder used to gradually drag you out of your sleepy state and welcome you to the new day (whether you like it or not). They’re not energy-laden, bleep-fests like, say, Real Housewives reunions, because no one should have to deal with that level of activity before having at least two cups of coffee. So I experienced a sensory overload this morning when Justin Bieber popped into the Today Show and brought his shrieking Biebs Brigade with him.

Just as I was about to give up, Matt Lauer introduced a soft-spoken Bieber fan named Melissa, who was so excited to meet the Biebs, she could barely look at him. “I’ve waited for this moment so long,” she said, turning 90 degrees to her left away from the star while grinning.

Anyone who’s ever gotten a case of the blushes when meeting a celeb crush can sympathize with the girl. And, personally, I couldn’t help but crack a little smile watching her reaction of pure, shy joy. Watch below (around the 5:45 mark) and tell me if you agree, PopWatchers. When they don’t travel in foamy-mouthed packs, aren’t Bieber fans kind of cute?

    I saw this and was prepared to haul out the earplugs, but it was very sweet.

    Awww. Say what you will about his music and his hair (and I do!), you can’t deny that the kid is really sweet with his fans and seems to handle the whole insane fandom thing really well.

    • Elle

      Yeah his fans are kind of adorable except when they are sending Selena Gomez death threats, then they’re not so adorable.

      • amanda

        or when they are sending death threats to kim kardashian for posing with JB in a photo shoot.

        Oh wait, I totally applaud them for that. She is worthless.

      • dani :)

  • jules

  • Kristin

    Don’t care for Justin at all. All he is is the looks and hair. Don’t even know how this kid is s famous as he is. He has no voice at all. I mean really people??? what has this world come to? If you want to hear real voices, go to BROADWAY!!!

  • Who Craig?

    Nope! Haha I say put them all down to sleep. Little hypocrites. Probably don’t even know what that word means~
