Justin Bieber Tweets Eliminated 'X Factor' Contestant Drew: 'This is Just the Beginning'

A confessed superfan of the teen phenon, the "X Factor" finalist formerly known as Drew Ryniewicz sang Bieber's hit "Baby" at auditions.

 

X Factor finalist Drew Ryniewicz, who was sent home from the competition in a double elimination on Thursday night, got a few words of encouragement from one of her idols that no doubt instantly dried her tears.

About 45 minutes after the west coast broadcast of the Fox show, Justin Bieber tweeted to the 15-year-old Chino Valley Arizona native: “keep yr head up. I lost my 1st competition too. this is just the beginning. never say never.” The message was promptly retweeted by Drew, who has amassed 94,000 followers, one of them being Bieber himself.
