14 DAY TRIAL // The other day, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson was honored in a special tribute held outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Michael's three children were in attendance, as also was teen star Justin Bieber.
His presence there was certainly not an accident, as the video below will confirm.
As it turns out, Paris Jackson might be a Belieber herself. When she introduced Justin on stage, she made it a point of mentioning that she was a big fan.
“We are all very big fans of Justin and his music. I know I am!” she said. Before that, she told the audience that the next guest had something in common with her father in that they had both achieved fame at a very young age.
Justin stepped on stage and, though he's used to performing, was visibly nervous as well. He performed “Rockin' Robin,” but not before speaking a few touching words about Michael.
“I don’t usually get nervous, but I’m kind of really nervous right now. Basically because Michael meant so much to me and I know he meant a lot to you guys as well,” Justin said.
“He was more than an entertainer. He was an inspiration the way he was kind, he was gentle and very charitable,” he added.
As the millions of fans from around the world, Justin sees in Michael a role model, an example he should aspire to follow, whether in his career or charity work.
“That’s why I look up to him. People are going to remember him for his dancing and singing, but people have to remember him for being the man that he was. I think everybody right now should give Michael a round of applause,” Justin said.
“Everything I do, I look at Michael and I want to be as good as he was,” he concluded.
This is not the first time that Bieber compares himself to Michael Jackson, saying he wants to be the “next Michael” if possible: he also did it in a recent interview with V Magazine, as we also informed you at the time.
