Many of Bieber’s friends and fans were reportedly surprised and pleased when he halted the show twice at Istanbul’s ITU Stadium to show his respect for Azan, a Muslim prayer call. His gesture received accolade from everyone who reportedly thanked him for showing respect for the Muslim population in Turkey. Other fans used Twitter as a platform to display their gratitude for the pop star.

The well-received gesture proved to be a step in the right direction in improving his image. But just how long this good boy attitude lasts, remains to be seen.
