"How Bad Is Your Bieber Fever?" and Other Hilariousness Overheard at Jingle Ball
We overheard so much stuff at Z100's Jingle Ball on Friday, and most of it was the shrieking native to a teenage girl who's just seen her favorite pop star in the flesh: Justin Bieber, One Direction, Taylor Swift and The Wanted, among others. We also heard a bunch of hilarious one-liners, mostly because the crowd was about 80 percent 12- to 16-year-olds with the other 20 percent consisting of their very selfless parents.
Enjoy our favorite overheard quotes from Jingle Ball.
