Justin Bieber halted a performance in Spain because his fans weren’t clapping properly.

The singer was treating his fans to an acoustic rendition of his song What Do You Mean when they started clapping off-beat, causing the irritated singer to stop what he was doing.

“At least clap on the right notes!” he said. “Come on guys, stop, stop, stop, stop.”

He then started clapping slowly, teaching the crowd of young fans how to enjoy his music properly, saying, “If you’re gonna clap, at least clap on the beat.”

While the rest of the performance went off without a hitch, some of the teenagers in the crowd aren’t singing in tune, although this didn’t seem to bother Bieber that much.

The singer’s current string of heartfelt pop songs seem to be suggesting the precocious brat is attempting to grow up a bit.

Although while in Spain promoting his upcoming album, the singer walked out of a radio interview after being tipped over the edge when the hosts suggested they bring in some popular Youtubers to help him “break the internet”.

He also left a concert in Norway after water was spilled on the stage.

After attempting to mop it up, he said “Never mind, I’m done, I’m not doing the show,”
