“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,” Justin wrote in a lengthy Instagram essay following the BBMAs. “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.”
Even if Justin wasn’t aware that he was on camera during Pink’s performance, it sounds like he wouldn’t have changed his expression if he had known. Justin didn’t own up to dissing Pink specifically, but the main point of Justin’s Insta rant was that award shows lack authenticity — so clearly his disgusted face was totally legit! See his whole social media rant below!
While we respect Justin for expressing his opinion on award shows, his rant is awfully ironic considering his performance was rather lackluster. No one was caught looking disgusted while he was on stage, but Justin’s fans totally called him out for lip-syncing his “Sorry” and “Company” mashup! In fact, Justin didn’t even really look that enthused when he was performing his own music!
Justin’s disinterest in the BBMAs is just another odd behavior that we’ve seen from the superstar lately, along with shaving his head, getting a face tattoo, and walking barefoot in a park. Although his BBMAs incident may be the least strange of the bunch, it certainly seems like Justin is in a rather vulnerable state these days. Now that Justin has let some frustration out in his Instagram rant, we’re hoping to see more smiles and less questionable behavior from JB soon!
