If there ever was an opinion poll asking whether you are a Belieber, it would be a clear gender split hands down. For all the right reasons (and wrong too), the teen-sensation-turned-pop-dynamo never ceases to amaze us all, especially girls. Whether in school or enjoying a party, the youth female fan base is abuzz with talks such as “Hey, can I hear Justin Bieber songs on your phone?” and “How old is Justin Bieber?”
