Is there any consolation prize cooler than a tweet from the one and only Justin Bieber? To many teenagers, no. No, there is not.

Drew Ryniewicz, who was eliminated from The X Factor last night, took to her Twitter to share her feelings on hitting the end of Simon Cowell's road. And because he's such a giver, Bieber hopped on Twitter to also offer his support…

Shortly after the show's broadcast, Justin tweeted to Drew: "keep your head up. I lost my first competition too. This is just the beginning for u. never say never. best wishes."

It's no secret that Bieber is one of Drew's idols, so we hope that tweet helped her get past the pain of being booted off a television singing competition. Judging by her recent tweets, it might take more than supportive tweets from her pop hero to help her get over the elimination.

"Sometimes life isn't fair," Drew tweeted. "Sometimes people make mistakes. I wish I could still be performing for you guys on that stage #couldvebeen."

She may be down, but she also made sure to remind her fans on Twitter that she's not out: "Doing my last bit of press today. Shining on xfactor for the last time. I can't wait for what's to come of me. I'm young, got time."

Ah, the hopeful spirit of a young girl trying to achieve stardom. May you go the route of Justin's girl Selena Gomez and not the route of Lindsay Lohan, young Drew.

Do you think Drew has the makings to be a big star outside of X Factor?
