Bieber’s incorrect greeting to Malaysian fans causes a flutter

Posted on Apr. 25th, 2011

Baby singer Justin Bieber was so beaming with enthusiasm that he made a major faux paus at his concert.The abscbnnews.com says the singer made a major blunder when he greeted Malaysian fans saying “Hello, Manila!” during a concert in Kuala Lumpur instead of “Hello Malaysia”.

A anonymous blogger wrote that “Justin Bieber staged a very successful jampacked concert in Stadium Merdeka Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last night April 21… But one funny ‘boo-boo’ happened when he showed up on stage and greeted his Malaysian fans ‘Hello Manila!’

Altogether there was no additional information as to how the Malaysian crowd reacted, the alleged gaffe drew much attention from fans, with some making their comments known via popular networking sites including twitter.

“Justin Bieber Shouts ” HELLO MANILA ” instead of Hello Malaysia .. haha Maybe he’s just so excited to come over here !! YAY,” tweeted @ClichaeyeLuvJB.
@karcellana posted, “Me: Justin Bieber said “Hello Manila” instead of ‘Hello Malaysia’ in his concert in Malaysia Ate: AWWW! *touches heart* I wanna watch!:))”

Then again there are those who were only too quick to make the incident another reason to make fun of the YouTube discovery, who is set to hold a concert in Manila on May 10.

“Justin Bieber greets Malaysians ‘Hello Manila!,’ wears a Barcelona jersey in Madrid. Justin Bieber, you need a map,” @abygo said.

This is not the first time Beiber made a boo-boo in public. Only last year the 16-year old pop star was ridiculed after a televised interview showed him looking seemingly perplexed.

Bieber defended himself on twitter saying that he could not understand the interviewer’s thick accent.
Then again Bieber had always been a frequent target of internet bloggers and message board posters notably for his appearance and his music.
