14 DAY TRIAL // The latest issue of Vanity Fair brings a Justin Bieber covered in kisses on the cover and a young artist willing to talk about his daily life, music influences and dreams in the accompanying interview.
Justin is not like any other teen in this world, for the sole reason that he is the teen to have single-handedly generated a frenzy with fans and the media alike.
He’s enjoying it so much he doesn’t even mind that the vast majority of his fanbase is made up of teen girls. Moreover, he knows the day will come when guys too will come to his concerts and not be ashamed to admit it.
“For younger guys, it’s like [they think] they’re not cool if they come to my concert. That’ll [change], I think; it’ll happen, maybe when I’m 18. But meanwhile all their girlfriends are coming to watch me,” The Biebs tells the VF interviewer.
Clearly, he’s not deluding himself that the day will come when the entire world attends his concerts: haters will always be haters, as he puts it so wonderfully.
“Of course, I think that people are just waiting for that time when I make a mistake and they’re gonna jump on it….There’s gonna be haters,” he says.
Nevertheless, haters should bear in mind that they might as well be hating on greatness. In the next quote, Bieber seems to imply he’s on par with The Beatles and even the late Michael Jackson.
“I’m crazy, I’m nuts. Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently – my mind is always racing. I’m just… nuts. But I think the best [musicians] probably are,” he says.
He then goes on to explain that, for him, the “best” musicians are The Beatles, Michael and Tupac. He also says that he believes music knows no color and no age.
“Music is music, and I’m definitely influenced by Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men and people who were black artists – that’s what I like. But I like their voices and I like how they entertain – it’s not about what color they are,” Justin says.
In the same interview, the teen sensation also goes a bit into the topic of dealing with fame at such an early age, saying that, with him, every little thing is important, unlike with other boys his age.
Of course, there are downsides and advantages – but he’s not about to lose focus of what’s important by focusing on the former. For the full Vanity Fair piece, please refer here.
