Justin Bieber mania continues to sweep the city as his Twitter followers got a nice surprise last night: a secret show in Queens! After his "Today" show set, which NBC producer Melissa Lonne called "one of the biggest concerts we've had in our 15-year history," he reportedly took to Twitter to announce a secret show he was holding under the 59th Street Bridge. And sure, 800 fans got to swoon over her perfectly manicured coif, but how many hearts did he have to break along the way?
One lucky concertgoer said "all my friends lost" at the chance to win tickets, and indeed teens across the borough were devastated at the missed opportunity. Fan Janiza Gesmundo tweeted, "WHYYYY. I should be in queens with mom these days. :(( i believe mom would let me go if she only knew @justinbieber was there.:(((," while another lamented, "NOO! JUSTIN BIEBER WAS IN QUEENS!!?? GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!!" Bieber, you monster!
The teen idol did manage to please one Long Island fan, inviting her up to the stage on the "Today" show to give her a hug. Madeline Lavin, 10, reportedly already has blueprints drawn up for the house in which she plans to settle down with Bieber, and shrieked, "I won't ever wash this shirt again!" But her mother had a grave warning for Bieber: "Little does he know, he just met his future wife. She lives and breathes this poor boy." Was it ever this bad with Hanson?

So Justin, how does it feel to be the wet dream of every card-carrying member of NAMBLA? But seriously, does anyone notice an unusual following of portly middle-aged gentlemen at his concerts?

Actually, no. Of the clips I've seen, I've yet to notice ANY guys at these concerts. It's nothing but screaming teenage girls, Beiber's target audience.

Serves me right for not getting on Twitter. I totally missed BOTH his concerts. He could at least have sent me a telegram.

Sheesh - didn't all those little girls have to shlep thru the Queensbridge Houses to get to that location?
Woulda been cooler if Mobb Deep performed there.
