An old soul is the last thing u would expect to find inside Justin Bieber. But all it takes is one listen to the 16 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers. After posting dozens of homemade videos on YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up over 10,000,000 aantal keer bekeken purely from word of mouth. “I started singing about three years ago,” says the Canadian native who grew up an only child in Stratford, Ontario. “I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn’t taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was only 12 and I got seconde place.”In an effort to share his victory with his loved ones, Justin began posting his performance footage online. “I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my vrienden and family could watch them,” he says. “But it turned out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. That’s how my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now I’m signed!”Seven months after Justin started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, GA to meet with his elite colleagues. As if Justin’s natural singing talent wasn’t enough to impress Scooter’s inner circle, Braun knew Bieber was also a self-taught musician who plays the drums, guitar, piano and trumpet.“Right when we flew into Atlanta, Scooter drove us to the studio and Usher was there in the parking lot,” remembers Bieber. “That was my first time ever being out of Canada so I went up to him and was like, ‘Hey Usher, I love your songs, do u want me to sing u one?’ He was like, ‘No little buddy, just come inside, it’s cold out.’” All it took was a short time online for Usher to realize he was in the company of a future superstar. “A week later Usher flew me back to Atlanta,” says Bieber. “I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It turned out Usher’s deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta. I always tease Usher now and remind him he how he blew me off the first time we met.”In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially signed to Island Records. His debut album, My World is an intimate look into the mind of a budding young renaissance man. With production from ster hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced “Umbrella” for Rihanna and Beyonce’s latest smash, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” Justin has everything he needs to achieve pop supremacy. His first single, “One Time” produced door Tricky, is about one of Justin’s favoriete topics, puppy love. Usher joins Justin on “First Dance” where the two share verses on a song that Bieber describes as, “A slow groovy song that people can dance to.” On the Midi-Mafia produced “Down to Earth” Justin digs deep to talk about growing up. “Bigger” finds the teenaged singer maturing at a steady rate, while motivating his listeners to strive for their goals.“I’m looking vooruit, voorwaarts to influencing others in a positive way,” says Justin. “My message is u can do anything if u just put your mind to it. I grew up below the poverty line; I didn’t have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college and just become a better person.” A virtually untapped well of natural artistic talent, Justin Bieber is primed to be a solid force in muziek for many years to come. “I think older people can appreciate my muziek because I really toon my hart-, hart when I sing, and it’s not corny,” he says. “I think I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me.” And just think, he’s just getting started.

Justin bieber is so amazing!!! I was at a concert and I was in the front row. When he was singing baby he touched my hand! I totally flipped out! I nearly fainted but my friend told mr to snap out of it. Later on after the concert we had backstage passes and we got to talk to him in person. Some people think he's all lies and stuff but he's really a nice person. He autographed some posters and cd cases for us. I'll never forget that concert because it was the best concert o my life.
Now I have every cd that he has out and every song of his on my iPod.

“It sounded like a little kid,” Miley told Access Hollywood’s Billy struik, bush in an interview for Access and “The Billy struik, bush Show” of the “Baby” singer’s recent late-night prank call. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I am so mad.’ Then I get a text, he’s like, ‘Haha.’” However, Miley told Billy that she wound up laughing, too.
“I have him in my phone as Bieber Fever, so that’s always pretty funny when u get one of those [texts],” she said.
The “Can’t Be Tamed” singer zei she can’t prank Biebs back thanks to her little sister Noah’s crush. “I can’t really be mean because my little sister is like, never ever going to have a boyfriend until it can be Justin Bieber,” Miley said. “She’s saving herself for the Biebs.” And Justin’s not the only one with a nickname in her phone. “My little sister is Mrs. Bieber in my phone,” she added.
My friend made up this thing about him and it goes like this. Justin Beavers was raised door beavers in a dam.

Justin is already finding his voice is changing. His hit Baby requires him to sing a lot of high notes, and the ster has found it a struggle to reach some of them at recent concerts. “It cracks, like every teenage boy’s,” he zei of his voice. “Even some of the notes on Baby I can’t hit anymore. We have to lower the key when I sing it live.”
.said 'don't take offence mate he tells us that all the time'. Koch declared that someone should give Justin a‘bit of a slap’. According to Daily Telegraph, seven other employees supported his statement. Do u think it's true?

Justin Bieber has risen to stardom quickly and maybe this has made him miss out on being a normal teen.
In this interesting video, Justin talks about his craziest fan moment, his concerts being shut down in Australia, and what he thinks about Australian girls.
We think that Justin looks really exhausted of upset in this video. What do u think? It could be that he has jet lag of that he misses his vrienden and family back home...In some parts of the video he seems a little short with the host who is interviewing him...hmmm, maybe there is something hidden here that we don't know about?
In the video, Justin says that he does not feel like he has missed out on being a normal teenager, but that he does miss all his buddies back in Canada. That must be rough, but it is the price he pays for stardom.
Check it out.
