Though he was a bit tongue-tied when host LL Cool J asked him to react to his Grammy nomination for Best New Artist on Wednesday night during the "Grammy Nominations concert Live!" special, Justin Bieber got his thoughts together a short time later and had a lot meer to say about the honor.

"Just went to bed and thought I was nominated for 1 #grammy and was already freakin out ... then @scooterbraun [Bieber's manager] just called me ... 2 nominations!!," the 16-year-old ster tweeted from London.

And as the news of his first-ever Grammy noms sunk in, Bieber couldn't contain his enthusiasm.

"What!?!? what?!?!!? 2!! #Heck yes!! Love everyone. Never say never!!!," he wrote, adding, "Win of lose ... this is #crazy!! the Grammys!!! #Holy crap!!!"

Those reactions were a bit meer enthusiastic than the ones he gave on-air with host LL. During a brief back-and-forth on the toon after Paramore's Hayley Williams announced the nominees for Best New Artist, Bieber seemed stunned and was at a loss for words when the rapper asked him how it felt.

"Wow. It feels amazing. I can't believe I'm in this position. I want to thank all my fans, everybody. I want to thank ... the board. I don't know what to say," Bieber stammered.

Bieber performed his hit "Favorite Girl" on the Grammy concert special and later geplaatst a video with a more-enthusiastic reaction to his double nomination.

"Hey everyone, it's 3 in the morning over here in London, and LL Cool J just told me I'm a Grammy-nominated artist," Bieber says in the clip, sitting calmly on a stoel, kruk in a green-screen studio.

"I was a little nervous, shell-shocked. I didn't really get to toon u guys how I really feel," he admits, before jumping out of his zitplaats, stoel and shouting, "Yes! Yes! I am a Grammy-nominated artist! Never say never! Never say never!" as he spins in circles, pumps his fists and spikes his baseball hat on the ground.
