Justin Bieber: Never Say Never Page #6

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.

- and we can't risk that.

- I would not let you do that.

I already have stepped in,

but I would not let you do that.

There's gonna be a lot of kids

that are going to be let down.

Can I tell you something?

Hear me clearly on this

that you do this now

and move one or two,

or we're going to be shutting down

five, six, maybe seven later.

Do you want to cancel seven shows

or move one or two now?

- Move one.

- Okay, we're gonna move one now.

And, that's the option you have tonight.

You may not have this option

if you don't make smart decisions

about this in a week or two.

That's where we are.

We've never canceled a show.

We've done over 120 shows

in the last two years.

We did 14 shows with a broken foot.

Sang through strep throat.

We're three days

from the biggest show of our tour.

The timing could not be worse.

- Can you give me an E?

- How about McDonald's tonight?

- No. Give me an E.

- Chicken nuggets?

Fried stuff, the doctor said

you're not supposed to have.

Those are fried.

But he also said, "No one's perfect."

And he said, if you do it,

"You're a kid and you can do it."

I'll tell you what,

I'm only trying to help you here.

Is this what you want to do?

You still in the game?

Or you ready to can it

and go home to Canada?

Nope? You're still

in the game then, right?

Okay.

People don't often understand if

a singer says, "My voice is going down."

They understand if

a football player tears a muscle,

but the same thing, really,

can happen to a singer's throat.

This is the strictest vocal rest

he is going to know.

And now, the protocol has to be

carried out by all of us,

and it's not just about the next 36 hours,

this is ongoing for the rest of this tour.

- Why don't you go talk to him?

- I'm happy to.

You and I'll talk about your regiment.

This is fine. You can do this all day.

I love you for doing that, okay.

You just can't talk on it.

Hello, sweetheart. Don't talk.

How's my baby?

Do you not feel good?

Okay, I got Justin on board

and we're leaving right now.

It's been a rough week.

We're on our way straight to the doctor,

and we got to see if

the swelling in his throat went down.

I think we're all a little bit on edge

to make sure he's healthy enough.

God, I pray that you will just

help Justin's headache go away.

And I pray for complete healing.

New York City.

Okay, let's see what's going on.

Say "Ah".

It's still red in the throat.

- I hate this.

- I know.

High voice, falsetto.

JB, do you want more water?

There you go.

So, he's got swelling

on both vocal cords,

that's what indicates to me

he has some reflux.

The vocal strain is partly because

he's trying to sing through the redness

and thickness of the reflux.

And then, on top of that, add the

infection that he had over the weekend,

which is really what

threw him over the edge.

I'd like him to try the vapors today

and see what difference that makes.

So, this just proves to the world

he's human.

All right. Can we leave now?

- I'm pretty much done.

- All right.

- As long as you have enough medicine.

- We have enough.

You know,

I grew up worshiping this place.

And to think that

a 12-year-old kid I found on YouTube

is going to be in the Garden tomorrow.

It's gonna be... Yeah, I'm excited.

What do you want to be

when you grow up?

It was actually

a year and three days ago

that Justin and I were

in a sound pit just like this.

It was the first time

he had ever been in the Garden,

and we got invited to meet Taylor Swift

at her sold-out show,

the first time

she'd ever sold out the Garden.

And I remember the kids were

waving their hands side-to-side

all around these stands.

This is really what I want to do. I want

to be doing this the rest of my life.

Justin looked at me and said,

"I can do this."

And I said, "I believe you can."

He goes, "No, I can do it in a year"

He kind of believed it, but

at the same time, he was like, "Maybe.

"MSG's really hard to sell out.

It's a really iconic venue."

He looked at me and was like, "I can do

this. I don't care how hard I gotta work."

Scooter usually tells me to

believe in my dreams and just go for it.

But we wanted that Garden.

We looked at the route,

and I saw the first leg and they said,

"Maybe we'll save Madison Square

Garden for the second leg."

I said, "No, no, no. We're going for it."

So, we went on sale

and they call me and they're like,

"We're going to sell out

this entire tour in two days."

And I said, "What about the Garden?"

And they said, "The Garden?

That sold out an hour ago."

And I said, "What?"

They said,

"Yeah, we sold that out in 22 minutes."

Now we're less than 24 hours.

I'm nervous,

but I've seen him pull through,

so I got to believe that he can.

Justin! I love you!

- Nobody's in there.

- No one's coming out.

Is it that one?

- What's up, buddy?

- How are you, man?

- How you feeling?

- Feeling good.

What were you knuckleheads

doing out there, causing a ruckus?

You're wearing my favorite color!

I said I'd come and I was gonna be

dressed like you today.

It's nice.

Kenny put me onto this kind of T-shirt,

these kind of shirts.

I would never have worn this

if it wasn't for Kenny.

- How you doing? Good with you.

- What up, man?

- How are you?

- I'm good.

What up?

This is an honor.

It's an honor to perform with you guys.

While we're doing all this,

I want you to

keep your voice as still as you can.

We're still not out of the woods yet.

We got a big show tonight.

So, no talking.

Wow. You're on the floor.

- Oh, my God!

- You are a saint! You are a saint!

Thank you so much!

It's not that bad.

- Every show you knock that back.

- Breakfast of champions.

What does it do?

All the nutrition

that your body ever needs.

Oh, God. This smells like liquid poop.

He's not gonna like it.

It's his first time having it, man.

It's like dinosaur pee.

Wait till you hit the stage.

When you got that in your system...

When you get to

the second phase of the show...

I'm 16. I always have energy.

Okay. But you won't be 16 forever.

Group hug, fellas.

- Big moment tonight.

- Bring it in for the real thing.

You're family, the little man in our lives.

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say

we're proud right now.

- Love you.

- Love you, too, man.

Should he kill this now in front of you

so you know he drank it?

Please.

Finish it, man. Finish it.

The last part's so bad.

Come on. It's not that bad, dude.

Ten minutes! Ten minutes!

I was once chilling in my room,

watching TM just in a regular place.

And now I'm in this big world,

living my dream and doing what I love.

It's just crazy how it all came around.

Let's go!

Bring him down.

Got to roll.

New York City.

Are you having a good time so far?

It's the My World Tour!

I thank you for this day, and thank you

for the journey leading up to this day.

Protect everyone, including Justin,

and bless everybody for your glory, God.

In Jesus' name.
