The girl's got BIEBER FEIVER

95th caller, you're our winner! Yes, that was me on WPLJ a couple of weeks ago, your girl from queens won 2 tickets to see Justin Bieber perform in Rockefeller Center when he was appearing on the Today Show on June 4th.

We usually keep PLJ on in the studio all day, music keeps you happy at work and so, when you've got the phone right in front of you and they announced this contest, why not? We all know what that busy signal sounds like, bzzz bzzz bzzz you are way too late, but for once the phone was ringing! The person was shouting that I won, and I was in shock.

I gave them the information, and was told to show up at the NBC entrance very early, as the today show starts its schedule at something like 5:00 AM. We had to go to a 'secret' entrance to bypass the thousands of  people who had lined up to be part of the audience two days ago. I hope these kids had sympathetic teachers, considering it was a school day, but cutting school for a free concert is not the worst thing in the world, I did it when I was 16 myself!

As a winner, I got to be in a special section with all kinds of VIP's (and their teenage daughters) and had the opportunity to be literally just a few feet away from him, next to the cameras.
You can see where the 'audience' was mostly to the side and behind Justin, but I was up close and personal! These are actually my photos, no Getty Images here!

We always chuckle when Carly Frank goes on and on about how great he is, but I have to say it was a thrill to see this guy in person! He has dancers that are amazing and he does sing more or less on-key most of the time. Unlike a lot of Today Show 'performances' this one was not lip-synced at all, he was really singing and the audience was loving it.

 They allowed a few thousand people (mostly Carly's age) into the Rockefeller Center Today Show courtyard, and they were all rocking and jumping and really got into it. Being Live TV, the show stops and starts, but he got in a medley of his hits with somebody to love and one time in there. He also did a short version of his Karate Kid song, Never Say Never. 

In between commercial breaks he smiled and chatted with Al Roker, and as it was really hot this day everyone was dripping with sweat before too long. Even Justin was sweaty, and his fans thought that was just fine. I kept thinking, I really do have the fever! Ciao.
