Justin Bieber Slams ‘Fake’ Billboard Music Awards As Fake After Lip-Syncing

Justin Bieber has had a dummy spit over the Billboard Music Award, saying that they’re fake.

This may have something to do with the Beibs being slammed for a lackluster performance of his songs ‘Company‘ and ‘Sorry‘ at the event which were called out for being lip synced.

After the event, the singer took to Instagram to reveal that he finds award ceremonies “hollow”.

He stated the obvious, saying to fans:

“(I) can’t help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance. A lot of people in the audience there to be seem worried about how much camera time they will get or who they can network with.

When I’m doing a regular show I feel they are there for the right reasons and to strictly have a good time! But these award shows seem so hollow.”

That being said, Justin – who won the Top Social Media Artist and Top Male Artist awards at the BBMAs – also hit out at attendees for their “fake smiles” and insisted there is “an authenticity missing” at award shows.

His lengthy rant continued:

“I get the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look in the audience I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy.

I just think to myself if I’m living my purpose I want the reward to be fulfillment. I’m getting awarded for the things that I’m doing and not for who I am which is understandable I know it would probably be hard to calculate and award someone’s spirit lol.

There’s an authenticity missing that I crave!

Come on Biebs – Grow a pair mate.

I don't know about these award shows.. No disrespect to anybody at any of the shows or the people running it. Nothing but love for you guys and your support. But I don't feel good when I'm there nor after. I try to think of it as a celebration but can't help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance. A lot of people in the audience there to be seem worried about how much camera time they will get or who they can network with. When I'm doing a regular show I feel they are there for the right reasons and to strictly have a good time! But these award shows seem so hollow. I get the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look in the audience I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy. Sure there are people truly proud of others so I don't want to knock them I'm just looking at the vast majority. I just think to myself if I'm living my purpose I want the reward to be fulfillment. I'm getting awarded for the things that I'm doing and not for who I am which is understandable I know it would probably be hard to calculate and award someone's spirit lol. But When I do get these awards the temptation of putting my worth in what I do is so hard to fight!!!I am privileged and honored to be recognized by my peers in but in these settings I can't feel the recognition. There's an authenticity missing that I crave! And I wonder does anybody else.. Sorry not sorry about grammar it's not my strong point
