Justin Bieber Tweets Apology for Forgetting to Thank Fans at VMAs (Video)

Justin Bieber's acceptance speech at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards betrayed a glaring and almost inconceivable omission. After receiving his award for Best Male Video, the Biebs somehow forgot to thank his fans. Yikes. Beliebers all over the world were stunned and mystified by the omission So they did what beliebers usually do in situations concerning their idol. They took to Twitter.

Justin Bieber constantly calls his multimillion-strong fan base his family--which indeed they are. So, they couldn't understand why they were forgotten in his VMA acceptance speech. If they were being punk'd, they were definitely not amused. Still, the tweets that ricocheted through cyberspace after the VMA broadcast weren't angry or accusatory. JB's fans simply wanted to know what happened and why.

"I'm so proud of u for winning an award," wrote BieberDaizing Never say Never (: "but u didnt thank us? :/ #whatwasup

Almost immediately, Justin replied:

@BieberDaizing u r right," he Tweeted. "was kinda shocked 2nite. forgot alot of things in the moment. Thank u!!"

Later, JB Tweeted an additional apology to all his fans:

"Also thank u to my family, my friends, my team, and my FANS!! i got so much more to say now that it is over. haha. blanked out up there"

So, there you have it. It's kind of endearing to realize that Justin Bieber still gets flustered, nervous, and "blanked out" during moments of high emotion just like the rest of us.
