Justin Bieber: Never Say Never Page #2

Synopsis: The camera follows Justin Bieber (1994- ) during the ten days leading up to his August, 2010, sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. Footage of these ten days of concerts, rehearsals, and down time with boyhood friends, his mom, and his entourage is inter-cut with home movies, old photos, and interviews showing a musical prodigy who loves to perform, comes to the attention of an Atlanta agent via YouTube, impresses Usher, and rockets to international stardom soon after his 15th birthday. His manager emphasizes the importance of social media and of Justin's work ethic and personality in making him a star; the camera emphasizes Bieber's look. His mom and grandparents shine.

I just want to drive it a little bit.

It's an uncle-nephew relationship.

In my phone,

I have him programmed in as "Nephew".

Kenny. What are you doing?

Scooter's kind of in the road family,

definitely Dad.

Justin, Justin, that's not funny.

- Turn it off. Not funny.

- It is funny.

You know, I think 90 % of my job

is helping him become a good man.

It's a family.

So, we're supporting each other

and making sure the kid's okay.

Deeper. No, not like that.

There you go.

I'm a 54-year-old childless woman,

and they call me Mama.

Yo, I need a razor. Do you have one?

A razor? Really?

Here's something really cool

about vocal cords.

They can take my heart out of my chest

and put it in your body

and make that work.

Hey, don't cut your face, okay?

But they cannot replace

the human voice.

This entire tour hinges

on those two little strips of fiber

that sit in his neck.

While you're changing, do it, okay?

One of the hardest things, I think,

for a kid on the road to understand

is that he's a working man.

All right, I'm about to change my pants,

so you're gonna have to go.

Come on, come on, come on.

Don't waste it. Let's get you dressed.

Come on, let's go, it's walk time.

- Yo, all right.

- Yo, yo, it's walk time.

- This is Mama Jan.

- Hi, Mama.

- She's my vocal coach. This is my dad.

- My pleasure.

- Pleasure is mine.

- I think I saw you this afternoon.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Nice to meet you, sir.

Nice to meet you.

You ready to kill this, or what?

How's your voice?

Good. How is it?

It's getting there.

All right, we're going into focus mode.

Here we go.

I know you're prepared!

And you've been waiting

for this moment!

Everything you're feeling right now

is normal!

These people came to see you!

I'm here because you're here!

Let's rock! Let's rock!

All right, let's bring it in!

We're gonna say a prayer!

Thank you for the production crew,

all the staff, the players...

On the road, with a group of people,

it becomes

a very functional dysfunctional family,

all centered around one goal.

One more thing. I got to say something.

It's Jeremy's first show.

We got the grandparents.

We got a lot of stuff.

This one tonight

is a proud Canadian boy coming home

and representing for his nation.

Ducks, ducks, ducks, ducks!

Quack, quack, quack, quack! Zoom!

Sing it.

Make some noise

for Boyz II Men, everybody.

Sing it!

I can't hear you. Everybody!

All right.

Come on, sing it!

Sing it!

All right, Boyz II Men, sing it!

All right. One more time.

Your grandma's house is right here,

ain't it?

Yeah, this is it. Great.

Hey! Hi, Grandpa.

Look at my bed. This used to be huge.

Yeah, once upon a time,

it used to be huge for you.

- Good night.

- Good night, sweetheart.

What's up?

- I got my phone working.

- Nice.

Hey, buddy.

It went from, like,

hanging out every day almost

to only seeing each other

a couple of times a month, if that.

Who had the best shooting percentage

in that game?

I did. No backboard, please.

Now that we don't see each other

really anymore,

we just kind of, like, cherish the time

that we have together.

- You want to see something...

- Excuse me, sweetheart.

You can't go out

till you clean your room, okay?

- Can you go clean your room, please?

- Yes, I will.

- I've got to get your stuff on the bus.

- I will.

- All right, one second. One second.

- Thank you.

These are some animals

that my grandpa has collected.

And this is a wolf. This is a fox.

- They're roadkills, honey.

- And we...

Me and him were playing, like,

mini-sticks one day,

and I knocked off the leg, you know.

It wasn't very nice.

And then we tried to, like, tape it there.

And at one time, it just fell over,

and I blamed it on Chaz.

No, actually, we blamed it on Nolan.

And he wasn't even here.

That was fun.

All right, let's go.

I'm waiting for him to clean his room.

Seat belts, everyone.

Put your hands in the air!

Let's go to my old stomping grounds.

This is where we used to shoot ball

and work our abs.

First shot of the day.

Let's see how I am.

- Cut.

- You can edit that, right?

Yeah, edit that out.

I'm going to shoot this ball into that net,

all right?

That's how you do it.

Put your hands in the air! Go!

Hey, Ryan!

Hey, buddy!

Hey, buddy. How you doing, man?

How's work?

I'm just gonna come in to work with you.

Hey, yo, Sean! Sean, what's up, man?

He was in town,

and he stopped by the school.

As a matter of fact,

he did autograph his locker,

but our cleaning staff is very diligent

and they thought it was graffiti

and they washed it off.

Sing it!

I can't hear you!

I think we got to turn up the music

for all you people!

You want to say grace?

Thank you, Lord, for this pizza,

this cheese,

pineapple, bacon, pepperoni.

- And thank you to Hawaiian people...

- People.

- ...for making our pizza.

- For making... Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you, Lord. No.

Thank you that we have great friends.

We are able to hang out together

and have a good time.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Are you Justin Bieber?

- Yes, I am. Nice to meet you.

- Hi.

I used to sit right here.

I used to sit on those steps

and I used to play here, too.

- So keep playing.

- Thank you. Thank you.

And always follow your dreams, okay?

- Okay.

- All right.

Thank you very much. Have a good day.

He was about 12 years old

when he wanted to go

and play in front of the Avon Theater.

Those apartments

across the road there,

their windows would be all closed

in the summertime.

But the minute they heard him sing,

they would just all open up

and just let his voice right in.

- He is amazing.

- Yeah. This kid is about to be famous.

His voice carried all over this area.

All right, take it away.

Hey, everybody.

I was like, "You're only 12 years old.

You've never had any singing lessons.

"So if you don't make it, it's okay."

He asked me to come

to his Stratford Idol Competition.

So I went and saw that.

I was definitely worried

that he could beat me.

He was singing all styles of music.

R&B, he was rapping some,

and he would have little dances

made up for them, break dancing and...

That natural instinct was in Justin,

to respond to little mistakes like that.

He made it

an entertainment opportunity.

I was like,

"Whoa, where'd this come from, man?"

Our next Stratford Star winner.

Even though he got second,

he still got the attention he needed.

People recognize my face

from the videos,

just knowing that I'm the girl

who beat Justin Bieber.

We have family that live in

different provinces that wanted to come.

At this time, he was playing around

on YouTube and he'd seen some stuff.

So he said, "Why don't we just put it up

on there and send her the link?"

The next thing you know,

we had hits from strangers

just requesting other songs.

I was like, "This is fun.

"They want you to post another video.

Let's do this one."

And I was like,

"You got 100,000 subscribers.
