Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we're speaking to YouTube sensation: Justin Bieber. ("One Time") So when did you start performing? - Basically, I was always singing around the house. It was kind of thing that I just loved to do. I always played a lot of instruments and stuff so I grew up around music my whole life Had it always been your plan to pursue music as a career? - No it actually wasn't ("One time" plays) I was in a singing competition just for fun And-uh- my friends and family that couldn't make it. They wanted to be there but they couldn't so I put videos of the competition on YouTube And-uh-just for them And it just kind of blew up. I started getting thousands of hits. I started getting millions of hits. (singing) Oh (unintelligible singing) Why don't you tell us a bit more about how Usher managed to find you? Yo, Usher! - JB wassup man? Basically, it happened after I put the videos on YouTube. This one manager found me. He flew me out to Atlanta. I was going to the studio and I met Usher... Randomly And so I ran up to him and said "Usher, I love your songs" "Do you want me to sing you one?" And he was like... "Uh...just come up on inside little buddy I ended up not being able to sing for him. A week later he actually watched my videos on YouTube and then-um-was like "Man, I gotta get this kid back." So he flew me back to Atlanta where then I got to meet him again and sing for him (Justin singing for Usher) ("One Time" plays) So he wanted to sign me but then a week later-uh-Justin Timberlake wanted to sign me What is it like singing Usher's song for Usher? It was definitely crazy. If you saw that on YouTube That was the first time I actually ever sang for him so it was pretty awesome ("One Time" plays) Rebecca: Now we so many celebrities who became famous at a young age and they kind of trainwreck when they grow up Uh-how do you plan to stay grounded? It's crazy. There's a lot of people that have basically trainwrecked as you've said But I just have so many people surrounding me that are just great people. I plan to just stay grounded and it will be a good road ahead. Rebecca: Now I am assuming you have girls following you around all over the place now. Was it always that way? ("One Time") Umm-yeah-(chuckles)-No I just-I had a lot of girls chasing me before this but Umm...but now there's definitely alot more ("One Time") Rebecca: Thank you very much Thank you very much for having me ("One Time" plays to ending)
