The lovebirds arrived at DY Patil Stadium expecting it to be a serene event but instead were greeted by a huge crowd of people who started shouting at the top of their lungs the moment they saw the duo.
So the consternation over the lip-syncing was all too-understandable. Alia Bhatt was there and so were Sridevi, Raveena Tandon, Sonali Bendre, Arjun Rampal and other stars.
Bieber is getting a royal treatment during his India stay.
Justin Bieber's India concert was being touted as the next big thing after King of Pop Michael Jackson came calling decades ago.
Gates open at 2pm and while Justin Bieber will only perform at 8pm, he will be preceded by several worldwide DJs from 4 pm onwards.
Musician Sona Mohapatra also took a critical view of the lip-syncing, and expressed her views – much to the consternation of Beliebers – on her Twitter and Facebook pages.
"Hello India", Bieber said to the crowd of Beliebers, who waited for hours altogether in scorching heat to watch him perform on a enormous stage enhanced by graphics as well as enlivened with startling fireworks and the rousing response of the audience.
He took time out of his packed four-day schedule to spend some time with his local fans, who were delighted to see him as she stepped onto the bus.
As appalling as Bieber's performance was, this is hardly the first time an global popstar of such stature has committed the crime of lip-syncing to his/her songs. "So I don't think lip syncing at a concert is fair", Joshi added.
They carried signs saying "We love you Justin", "Welcome to India" and "Justin Forever".
"He did not sing I'm the one!" retorted a fan, Anurag Dixit, when asked what was the low point of the concert.
Bieber's performance was jazzed up with 600 moving lights, 300 square metres of LED displays and a stunning display of firecrackers.
