How are Justin Bieber, Franz Liszt and Jerusalem Connected? | Idea Channel | PBS Digital Studios

At first glance, Pop Wunderkind Justin Bieber aka “The Biebs” and revolutionary 19th Century pianist and composer Franz Liszt don’t seem to have anything in common. And while they might not have any musical or biographical similarities, they both have had a powerful psychological effect on their fans. Fits of hysteria, screaming, and fainting are all common traits of “Bieber Fever” & “Lisztomania.” But why? What is it that will cause a person to be so tremendously moved by a performer, a piece of art, a cityscape or even, heck, light refracting off of bits of water in the sky?
