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.

When it comes to Justin Bieber, his mentor Usher says he wants to be involved in his teen pop sensation's career for a long time. "I felt like this was a story that I’d like to be involved with for the long haul, not just a moment," he told On The Red Carpet's Jason Morrell in a recent satellite interview. "To be able to build a career that will span for years." Bieber, 16, captured the attention of industry executives several years geleden door posting homemade videos of himself singing songs, including Usher's, on YouTube. This self-promotion eventually led to a meeting with Usher and a record deal. Bieber is now one of the most populair pop artists today and lends his voice to a track on the soundtrack for the film The Karate Kid, which was released on Friday, June 11. Usher made history on June 6 performing on two continents over the course of a day, playing in New York City and London. Bieber joined his mentor on stage for an impromptu performance in London, which drove the fans wild.
