Justin Bieber is simply too popular for his own good, as his planned live stream performance at the same time as the Grammy Awards crashed due to the sheer number of people trying to watch the show.
Bieber had scheduled an online event for fans, which was planned to be broadcast at the same time as the Grammy Awards - which he had not been nominated for. He had promised fans he would perform new music as well as answering fans questions.
The stream was so popular however, that serves were unable to cope with the fans logging on, with reportedly 45,000 'Beliebers trying to watch the online show. Even Justin Bieber himself was unable to access the performance.
"Livestream is over capacity it not letting me in the room," he tweeted as he struggled to connect to fans waiting online.
"really now ustream is over capacity my fans are amazing but this is frustrating," he added.

Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun had previously spoken angrily about the lack of nominations for the 'Beauty & A Beat' singer, saying that the Grammys bosses had 'blown it'.
"First..congrats to @carlyraejepson, thought u deserved a best new artist nom, but proud Call Me Maybe got u 2 noms. so proud of u (sic)," Braun tweeted after the nominations were announced in December 2012.
But then continued, "second...this time there wont be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain DISAGREE. The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one."
