Ah, Justin Bieber—not quite as much of a shock-and-awe soundbite treasure trove as Ke$ha, but still able to toss out some verbal zingers, nonetheless. Billboard is the latest to take a crack at analyzing the Bieber phenomenon. And below the jump, we’ve rounded up the “Eenie Meenie” pop sensation’s best quotes from the piece.
On the importance of education in his life: “School sucks.”
On having 30 friends flown to L.A. for his 16th birthday: “I’m only 16 once. I’ve got to live like it.”
On the h8terz: “There’s more people that like me than there are who hate me, so I kind of brush it off.”
On his the elephant in the room—his voice eventually changing: “People say, ‘Oh, people just like him because he’s pretty.’ Or the funniest one: ‘When he goes through puberty, he’s not going to be a good singer anymore. How does that make sense when we’ve seen people like Michael Jackson and Usher and Justin Timberlake and all these famous singers do it?”
[Note: Usher and JT's voices had already changed by the time they were having hits. As for Michael Jackson—has it ever been scientifically proven that he actually went through puberty?]
On being confident he could fill Madison Square Garden: “I just think that I have enough fans, so I could pull in the people. I don’t really get nervous anymore. I’ve already performed at Madison Square Garden, and I’ve performed for an hour before. What’s the difference?
On his inevitable foray into feature films: “I don’t want to do the Hannah Montana thing.” [Fibber!]
On his magical, life-affirming tweets: “I still [use Twitter] as much as before. People write to me and say, ‘I’m giving up, you’re not talking to me.’ I just write them a simple message like, ‘Never give up,’ you know? And it changes their life.”
You know, for somebody who hates school, he certainly is quite the wise sage. The Bieb-filled issue of Billboard is on sale now.
AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I LOVE YOU JUSTIN BIEBER! CAN'T WAIT TILL YOU COME TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!
To me his a Low Life Looser!!! He not a Musician Like The Real ONe's(Beyonce,diddy or Jonas Or Selena Gomez).His just a Performer that should stay in da background like da dancers.His NOt a Musician @ all.He Came 2 Tx twice already & Boo His Fan's Away after they had waited Days & Hours In a 30 degree weather.He personal send security to tell us that da Hilton was Private & that he didn't want to see any Fans.That's da second Time he does that.U wouldn't be Anything w/o Ur fan.Therefore u Shouldn't Treat them like That!!!!!Sorry Kid
Ohhh Nena..your in DENIAL! Andd he’s NOT a low life loser, your a low life loser for just saying another person will. Theres more than what meets the eye! He’s an amazing person from what I hear. Soo shush, kay?:D
Me and my best friends loveeeee Justin Bieber !!!!!!!! We get in trouble for singing his songs in math class. . . ooops :P Cant believe he aint comingg to RI til August & its alrddy sold out ! awww :(
Lovee Yaa Forever & Always Justin <3
i love u
He is not a lowlife he is a child so you should not put him down like that. Do you remenber what you were like at 16 sometimes you did not want to see or talk to anyone. He is becoming a man and probably dont know what to expect. so lay off him ok he is doing the best he can.
really he is jus a kid.
For the highly educated and intelligent fans that were drooling in the above comments, notice how this article is written in a sarcastic tone. Sarcastic is a big word people use to describe the mocking of said tweenstar.
But hey, that comment about his voice changing and everything; I have to hand it to him. I mean, I really am jealous of how pretty he is. Gosh, if only us girls had half his pretty feminine looks. I can see how he laughs at us fools.
He did better than Miley on these answers. Justin actually came off to sound a bit smart, unlike Miley.
Wow, he`s so full of himself.
if you hate justin so much why do you all make time to look up stuff about him and talk crap?…it’s clear that you have nothing better to do .if you say you hate him so much.. like get over yourselves.
We’ll see, I guess, I feel like he’s still pretty young and naive; but in time, I’m sure he’ll start to get things figured out. I’m not a fan myself, but he’s a talented kid, and he has a nice voice.
Don’t EVER put Beyonce and Selena Gomez in the same category of “true performers.” Ever. Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Dear Lord. Kids these days.
” School Sucks”
Hahaa . Cant Wait To See Him On July 25th :) !
- Love Ya Biebs <3
I don’t really have any comments about Justin Bieber, but has NO ONE else noticed that the cover looks a hell of a lot like the scene in Say Anything…(1989) where John Cusack holds up that boombox to Ione Skye’s window playing the song they fornicated to for the first time (In Your Eyes-Peter Gabriel)????????
I don’t think Justin Beiber is a good enough artist to be able to rip that scene from John Cusack. It’s just too iconic for him to ever pull off.
soo i went to his concert on july 25th in arizona and i gotta saay,,, i was the B E S T day ever!!!! he looked sooo hoott, it waas awesome got to see shaq, and sean kingston, it waas the B E S T day ever! then when he sang you smile, oh my gosh one of the best songs ever! but my favorite is somebody to love, B E S T song ever! i loveee yooou justin!!!!!!!!! -team justin<3 :D
oh my GOD! How can u compare a legend like Michael Jackson with 16 yearold Justin Bieber.Michael sang way better when he was Justin’s age. Justin won’t loose his talent ofc never,but he will never be as good as MJ.I am not saying this coz i hate Justin Bieber coz u can’t hate someone u do no.So all of u fake haters stop being weird,u don’t like him,fine.The case in point is that MJ is tha king,Justin Timberlake and Usher are his followers and God knows how many more singers and ofc their voice has changed they got older by time u no?anyway.To Beyonce,C Brown,Jason Derulo,Aaron Carter,B Spears n so many more pop singers MJ is an icon an idol . :) ..Justin Bieber became famous by night,he has THE talent but u can’t tell he will loose his voice when u do no,the voice depends on practise.We could all learn how to sing but without talent don’t expect 2 be Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey.That’s all (: hehe
totally agree
i love justin bieber more than ever
he is soo hot
Ya’lls reali need to qet a lyfe && qet of hess *ock he dont care about ya’ll yew quys are just another person to hym so (SALTY) , He dont carea bout yew b*tches, hahahaha :))
that’s funny because you are so jealous of the fact that Justin Bieber is famous.
Don’t hate somebody, cause you aren’t them GROW UP.
I’m pretty sure the people who are posting the comments about him and about how they hate him, have nothing better to do in there life than talk smack about people so that they feel better about themselves, i mean serisously we all know justin bieber is friggin awesome. But you saying he is a low life? Hun, your the one wasting your time posting something that just makes you look juvinile and desperate, you are the one who needs to grow up a little a get a life.
Justin Bieber is My Hero.<3(:
i love bieber!!
Stupid people. Go see his movie, he is such a hard worker. He followed his dream and look where he got. He has an amazing voice that makes me smile every time I hear it and anyone that hates on him is obviously retarded because there is no reason to not like him. Dislike his music if you wish, not him. OR ELSE. Love you Justin:)!
i love you Justin Drew Bieber . i live by your song Born To Be Somebody!! I love you! Are you ever going to come to Illinois?! i tell my parents i want front row seats!! I hope you come here someday i love you . your my favorite singer! my mom and other people say oh he came in fast and he will fade i say NO he wont!!!!!!!!! i love you,! your amazing . <3 and you are my loveee .
