Bieber fever reported in Minneapolis

Justin Bieber played to 16,000 screaming girls Saturday night at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

“All the bells and whistles couldn’t disguise the fact that Bieber is pretty average in the talent department. Yes, he played piano, drums and guitar for a bit, but it was more about swag than musicality. Ditto for his dancing, more swag than smooth or graceful. And his singing, when it was live (there was lip-syncing on some ensemble dance numbers), it was pretty generic. Despite having the sniffles, he tried to find a soulfulness that was really more about — you guessed it — swag than heartfelt passion. But when you’ve got swag, flaunt it,” reviews the Star Tribune.
