What is there to say about Justin Bieber that really matters? Whatever it is, it gets drowned out by screaming as soon as he arrives.
He flew into Auckland at midnight last night and woke to the sound of devoted fans gathered outside his five-star hotel.
"Beliebers" were so desperate to catch a glimpse of the popstar, they didn't leave their post for a lunch break.
“We just want to see him - just a little bit- to know that he's real,” one fan says.
The 18-year-old singer reportedly spent this morning tweeting and playing PlayStation.
He's the most-viewed YouTube artist of all time with 2.7 billion hits, more than 22 million Twitter followers and 43 million Facebook likes.
He performed a special gig at the Cloud for 200 lucky fans this afternoon - and John Campbell's crew were there recording it.
Bieber also stopped by to meet old friends at Starship Hospital.
“I met him last time and he stole my haircut,” Starship patient Callum Sellwood says.
Bieber leaves for Los Angeles tomorrow and his dedicated followers will be there to send him off.
