Justin
Bieber is not about that awards shows life, despite winning Top Male
Artist and receiving a glowing response to his “Sorry” performance at
the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night. The pop sensation took to
Instagram on Monday to share a lengthy post about why he thinks that
awards shows are “hollow.”In the photo caption, Bieber detailed how he really feels about attending awards shows, holding nothing back: “No disrespect to anybody at any of the shows or the people running it.
Nothing but love for you guys and your support. But I don’t feel good when I’m there nor after,” he said. “I try to think of it as a celebration but can’t help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance.”
Instagram has been a outlet of late for transparent asides for the 22-year-old singer, who has been using the social media platform for everything from revealing a face tattoo to telling fans that he will no longer be taking pictures with them.

I don't know about these award shows.. No disrespect to anybody at any
of the shows or the people running it. Nothing but love for you guys
and your support. But I don't feel good when I'm there nor after. I try
to think of it as a celebration but can't help feeling like people are
rating and grading my performance. 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. 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. Sure there are people truly proud of others so I don't want to
knock them I'm just looking at the vast majority. I just think to myself
if I'm living my purpose I want the reward to be fulfillment. I'm
getting awarded for the things that I'm doing and not for who I am which
is understandable I know it would probably be hard to calculate and
award someone's spirit lol. But When I do get these awards the
temptation of putting my worth in what I do is so hard to fight!!!I am
privileged and honored to be recognized by my peers in but in these
settings I can't feel the recognition. There's an authenticity missing
that I crave! And I wonder does anybody else.. Sorry not sorry about
grammar it's not my strong point
