Justin Bieber: NIA, Birmingham
Caroline Sullivan, Guardian, The, 6 March 2011
JUSTIN BIEBER fans will tell you there are two only kinds of people in the world: "Beliebers" and the rest of us. For those who beliebe, it scarcely matters that the record-breaking Canadian (he's apparently the most Googled celebrity on earth) barely looks old enough to buy a shandy, or that his recently shorn hair was the only thing that differentiated him from a million other 17-year-old boys. What does matter tonight is that he's cute, very fluffy and rocks a silver hoodie with cuddly swagger.
