Yes, tonight I took my daughter to see Justin Bieber's movie! Hold your applause, forget the balloons, and stop throwing confetti. There comes a time when we as parents have to take one for the team! Not that I am complaining...I have been known to sing a little "Baby, Baby, Baby OOOOOHHHH" and right now the chorus to "Never Say Never" keeps swirling through my head! (Are there other words to that song?)
There is no denying Justin Bieber is talented...and there is no denying that we are seeing the making of a new teen idol! So tonight, as I sit to blog...I want to take a moment to go back in time and salute the teens idols of the past....
First there was Elvis, Fabian, and The Beatles! Who can forget the images of screaming girls fans crying for their heartthrobs. I can only wonder if my grandmother would have taken my mother to see Fabian (her idol) in his debut movie....
Soon came the next generation of teen heartthrobs....and girls were once again crippled with excitement and tears!
Donny Osmond, Leif Garrett, and David Cassidy graced the cover of Tiger Beat Magazine in the 1970's. Posters were plastered on walls, girls were left sobbing in audiences, and every boy perfected their shaggy hairdos! (sound familiar?)
Suddenly it was the 1980s and my generation was more into actors than crooning boys in flared polyester pants...
Rick Schroder, Kirk Cameron, and Corey Haim to name just a few...I never missed an episode of Silver Spoons, and I am sure my husband wonders why I suddenly became obsessed with NYPD BLUE a few seasons back.
When it came to musical acts...I was a Culture Club fan! I had these posters on my wall....
I am sure my mom would have welcomed this instead...

So what exactly makes a girl go weak at the knees?
HAIR:
STYLE:
In the Bieber movie you watch (in 3D) as Justin goes from a cute kid in his mom's home videos...to a pop sensation who can sell out Madison Square Garden in 22 minutes. Pretty impressive!
But there is a good chance Justin will not always be young and cute...just ask these guys!
(Although David Cassidy looks like he is trying every available surgery to try to stay young and cute!)
But I am sure my daughter will look at him through her six-year-old eyes...even when she is sixty-six!
For now, my daughter will suffer from Bieber Fever
...and I will suffer from a little fever of my own!
