The world is going crazy about Justin Bieber. You see, he’s after all a global sensation. And the fact that the Indian leg of his Purpose tour is creating such an uproar—what with celebrities and renowned musicians getting into Twitter spats over who’s performing with Bieber and tickets costing up to 75K approximately for “the whole experience”—is only proof of that sensationalism.

I personally know of people who have gotten themselves these so-called VIP tickets that allow them to hang backstage with the artist. But, there is a huge disclaimer there which these concert-goers have blindly bypassed, they won’t be allowed to take any pictures with the artist, or talk to him, or ask for an autograph. Still, it’s an experience of a lifetime, right? Right?

Now, before I go on to express anything on this whole hullabaloo (because that’s all that this is), let’s analyse the arrangements that have been made for Bieber’s stay in the country, along with the concert date and all. According to our insider sources, the following list is what the requirements of Justin Bieber and his entourage—which is a total of 120 people—entails.

1. 10 luxury sedans, 2 Volvo buses & 1 Rolls Royce

The hotels will re-design his suite and incorporate Mogul paintings, antique furniture and signature Kashmiri bedroom linen. His room will be adorned with purple carnations, purple being his favourite color! The hotel will convert itself into Bieber’s private villa with three floors of the hotel being booked for the artist and his entourage and one elevator blocked on all 4 full days for Bieber alone. A special Indian Yoga Casket containing aromatic essential oils; jasmine, mogra, rose and camphor incense sticks; and books on chakras and yoga asanas will be placed in Bieber’s suite knowing his love for Yoga. That’s not all a licensed female masseuse specially flown in from Kerala will be provided to Bieber on all 4 days. 100 hangers, cans of wildberries and vanilla room fresheners, dove body wash, hydrating lip balms - these are some of the special requests being catered to in his 1000 sq ft suite. Rooms with the best view in the quietest part of the hotel with only king size beds is a pre requisite with a 24 hour fitness centre with a steam room.

My Point Is This…

A Michael Jackson concert was an experience—even if you were at the farthest end of a packed stadium filled with millions of people dancing to the legendary star’s tunes. To be within a 50 mile radius of that icon would be an experience. Now, of course, you would have to be dead for that. Hell, to even watch his videos is an experience, no kidding!

I’m not saying Bieber is bad. Not at all. Lately, his music is actually quite interesting. But is it really worth paying so much for? You decide.
