Where is the love?

Justin Bieber (or more importantly, his devoted fans) might be asking that question after the cold reception he received during halftime Sunday at Canada's football Grey Cup in Toronto.

The crowd booed the teen pop star before and during his set, according to the Associated Press. As soon as his mug appeared on the giant screen before he took to the stage, the groans of disapproval began.

Bieber didn't appear fazed, reports AP.

"J-Biebs doesn't scream football, you know? Neither does Carly Rae Jepsen," Calgary's Ryan Prisque, 22, tells the AP.

The 27-year-old Jepsen also received a mixed reaction at first Sunday, but fared better after winning the crowd over during a medley of her songs, which included Call Me Maybe.
