In 2017, Justin Bieber's whole spot was blown up after his rider list was released. The
list featured all the demands he was making while touring in India. This is nothing new,
celebrities make demands while on tour all the time. They usually consist of some must-haves
for the celebs when they are away from home and on a rigorous tour schedule. These lists
can consist of everything from what brand of toilet paper they like, all the way to
painting their rooms a specific color. This can go down to the finest details like, what
kind of bed linens the promoter has to provide, and what kind of food and alcohol must be
backstage. However, some of these lists have been over the top and damn near impossible.
It seems as though Bieber is just the latest in a line of celebrities who have managed
to get caught with a pretty ridiculous list.
Justin Bieber Needs a Helicopter
We all know that Bieber can be a little bit extra when it comes to flashy things. He makes
a lot of money and like most people who make a lot of money, he likes to have nice things.
Of course, he would want to roll around in style while he’s in India. It's only natural
that Bieber requested several modes of transportation while in India for 5 short days. He had the
promoters keep a private jet and a helicopter on hand just in case he had immediate travel
to get to. But also, he took it one step further. He decided that unlike any other artist that
has performed in India, he would be using the helicopter to get to the venue. "A first
in history, Bieber will be flying into the stadium on a chopper and not taking the road
as most international artists do in India." Like how extra is that? What's wrong with
traveling the roads of India? Every other artist has done it. Getting a little cocky
there, huh?

Justin Bieber and Food Named After His Songs
Justin Bieber has an extensive catalog of music. He has had 4 studio albums and 29 singles.
So, one can say that he has a lot of music to listen to. However, he requested something
weird. Something that we aren't sure how many other famous musicians would request. During
this 5-day tour in India, a lot of hotel accommodations were made for Bieber. One of the most narcissistic
accommodations was the hotel food. He requested 5 meals a deal and they all had to be named
after his songs. It does make you wonder: were they allowed to include songs that he
guest starred on? Because, we’ll admit it, some of those were bangers. We get it, food
is a big deal but does your entourage of forced friends really want to eat songs titles? Baby,
Boyfriend, Where Are You Now, and Love Yourself? Can we maybe get some meals that have actual
descriptions of what they are in the title? We would love to know what these recipes consisted
of.
Justin Bieber’s Play Time
Boys love their games and Bieber is no different. On tour, people need their vice as well.
You know, something to do when they get off the stage. Or, in Bieber's case he has a huge
entourage, so his friends need something to do when he’s working. His rider list included
a few things that were meant to occupy time. He handed off a list of necessities that he
needed in his hotel room and backstage. Apparently, he just had to have them. They included "a
ping-pong table, a PlayStation, an IO HAWK hoverboard, a sofa set, washing machine, refrigerator,
cupboard and a massage table.". We get the need for entertainment, but would he really
have that much free time to be able to play all these games? We sort of assumed that touring
is so demanding, passing out afterward seems like the only logical response. And the whole
washing machine thing, when are you even going to have the time to do your own laundry? Did
he not want the hotel staff to do his laundry? Or maybe he was afraid that some of his things
would go missing. That's a valid fear seeing as people always want a piece of a celebrity.
Still, some odd requests for 5 short days.
The Biebs Must Have Alkaline Water
Bieber has requested a few particular things for his room and one of them is alkaline water.
Alkalising your body is one of the best things anyone can do for themselves. So, we don't
know how hardcore we can judge this request. It's a known fact that when you visit countries
like India, Dominican Republic, Cuba and a bunch of others, you shouldn't drink the water.
It can cause severe stomach cramps or you could get even sicker than that. So, him requesting
alkaline water could have been cautionary. That being said, he also requested a bunch
of energy drinks, sugary sodas, almond milk, natural juices and some other random sugary
stuff that doesn't go with the benefits of alkaline water. It's a bit misleading. Is
he trying to be healthy? It's kind of like when you hear something is good for you, so
you try it, but you still want to keep eating the crappy stuff because sugar just tastes
so damn good. He wanted the water to be everywhere. His hotel room, in the helicopter, and in
the dressing room. The same dressing room that he also requested be draped in white
curtains only.
Justin Bieber Likes Menthol And Watermelon Gum
Backstage during the show, performers should be loading up on energy burning carbs. Maybe
some healthy protein-filled snacks and thirst quenchers like water or Gatorade. Bieber's
backstage requests are like that of a child." Sliced bread, potato chips, menthol and watermelon
gum, white cheddar popcorn, and Ghirardelli dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds."
The list is kind of crazy and unhealthy. But the one thing that threw us for a loop was
the menthol and watermelon gum. Is that a thing? Or is it menthol as in trying to kick
his smoking habit? There were more things on the list like, "vinegar chips, organic
dried fruit, peanuts, and all berries cereal." He also requested Swedish berries and several
packs of Haribo Cola Gummies. The healthiest things on this list are probably the all berry
cereals and organic dried fruit. Let's keep it real though, both of those still have hella
sugar in them. But really menthol and watermelon gum? We're kind of interested in tasting that.
Granted, some of these requests are valid but some are just a junk lovers dream. At
this point, he’s asking for a hurt stomach. The only good thing is with all that performing
and dancing, he’ll burn it off quickly.
Justin Bieber Wears Plain White T-Shirts
We have all see Justin Bieber's style. He seems to be his most comfortable in either
a t-shirt or a wife beater. Oh, excuse us, an undershirt or tank top. There is no doubt
that Bieber has an interesting taste in clothing. So, of course, when he’s on tour, his style
would be the same. However, we will say, it's a bit odd that he would request two packs
of plain white t-shirts in two completely different sizes: extra small and large. It's
not like one size up, its several sizes up. But when you see Bieber in public he is sometimes
wearing baggy shirts. He also requested those white tank tops that he loves in large and
extra large - is he planning on bulking up? And last and probably the funniest, 3 packs
of socks in sizes extra small and large. What is with the size variation? Especially with
socks? It's pretty standard to have one size in socks and we honestly can't see him being
able to fit in a size extra small sock. It's just the weirdest request because he makes
so much money, he can buy his own shirts and tanks and socks. We're beginning to think
he's just being extra.
The Biebs Loves Ranch Dressing
Like almost everyone else in America, Bieber loves him some ranch dressing. So, why not
put in a special request, right? His food requests included vegetables with ranch dressing,
diced fruit, organic bananas, and seedless grapes, because, admittedly, it's annoying
when you have to pull seeds out of a grape. The more substantial food that he requested
was deli meat, lettuce, only Colby or provolone cheese, olives, and banana peppers. This is
a super tame list compared to some other celebrities requesting only red M&Ms or a bunch of deviled
eggs. The worst thing about his food demands would probably be that he prefers more organic
things over non-organic. That's just common sense. Oh, and that all of this is to be encased
in a refrigerator with a glass door only, fancy, fancy. He seems to be onto something
at this point. It looks like he is trying to overhaul his diet. Which is a great thing
if he weren’t contradicting himself several times by also requesting a lot of junk food
backstage. The junk food could be for his crew but that might be giving him too much
credit.
Justin Bieber Wants a Yoga Casket
Bieber made a request that was somewhat out of the ordinary. For the purpose of comfort,
he wants to be provided with "aromatic oils, incense sticks, and books on chakras and yoga
asanas". He has become very spiritual lately (we think we owe that to Selena Gomez). And
he has even been seen attending church regularly. He also requested a particular masseuse to
be brought in from a specific area of India. The list didn't stop there though, he also
added in air fresheners, but they must only smell like wild berries or vanilla. Bieber
is supposedly an avid yoga enthusiast, so all these demands really play into the spiritual
side of comfort that he is vying for. By the way, all of this will be given to him in a
yoga casket. But here's the thing, after a few hours of research, we couldn't find anything
on a yoga casket. What is it? If we had to assume, it would be exactly what it sounds
like: a casket. We guess it's to hold his oils, herbs, and incense. However, you can
never assume these days. Once again, we have been stumped by something that Justin Bieber
has requested.
Bieber Wants Purple Carnations
Everyone likes what they like when they stay in a hotel. It's kind of the beauty of a hotel
in that you don't have to clean up after yourself. You get to request things that you wouldn't
ordinarily request and of course, it's like a vacation within itself. That being said,
Bieber had the organizers book two 5-star hotels for him alone, and to top it off he
wanted the rooms decorated with purple carnations. That's kind of a random request but it must
be meaningful to him. Maybe even calming. One other thing he specified was absolutely
NO LILLIES. So clearly something went down between him and some lilies one day. Maybe
they’re Selena Gomez's favorite flower, and it's just too unbearable to be around
them. Either way, purple carnations everywhere. When those die, the room is sure to stink.
What are the chances that Bieber was going to water those himself, or give them plant
food if they need it? Would he even be in the room long enough to take care of them?
Or even look at them? So many questions and zero chance of answers.
The Biebs Drives a Rolls Royce
Bieber loves his cars. That has been proven time and time again. Fans have watched him
drive through LA in a Cadillac, a blacked out smart car, a Ferrari, and a Lamborghini.
We can say for sure that we are not surprised he would request a car for his time in India.
The problem is, he’s crashed a few cars that cost more than most people's annual salary.
So, one can see why we are worried about this last demand. The most outrageous demand on
this list was asking to be provided with a Rolls Royce to get around town. This is a
luxury car that costs anywhere between 200,000 to 250,000 dollars and that's just the base
model. In addition to asking for the Rolls Royce, he also wanted 2 Volvo buses to shuttle
around his crew of 120 people. 120 person crew sounds outrageous. Yes, it takes a good
amount of people to make things happen on a tour, but 120 people? That seems over the
top. Anyway, where could he be going in India that he would need a Rolls Royce? He likely
has no time to do much sightseeing. And wasn’t the point of requesting a helicopter so that
he wouldn’t need to drive on the roads?
