The Life and Times of Justin Bieber

By Ted Baker


Justin Bieber is a 16 year old heart throb who is rocking the nation with his great music, good looks and his down to earth personality. Justin's music climbs the charts, the girls swoon and his new found success has led to a whole series of dolls that look just like him and even play a short clip of a hit tune.

Some folks in the music industry compare him to Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with his great moves, good looks and soulful songs. Justin comes from Ontario, Canada where some of his friends never realized he could even sing. He began singing around the house for his own entertainment and one day, at 12 years of age, he entered a singing competition just for fun. Surprisingly enough he came in second place and that was the beginning of his bright future in the music world.

His mother Pattie had taken some videos of him performing at amateur contests and like any proud mom might do, posted them to YouTube for her friends and family to view. While these started to gain some views from outside of their circle of acquaintances they were literally stumbled on by a man who would change Justin Bieber's life forever.

Bieber's arguably most popular album, "My World," marked his debut release in November of 2009, and was impressively enough, certified as platinum in the United States. Other music he has recently released are some of the greatest hits from his albums "My World," "My World 2.0," and the relatively new "My World Acoustic." The tracks on the most recent of these have met with favorable reactions. Although Bieber's work showcases little variation in his musical style, that very style has also cultivated a loyal fan base. The R&B and pop, featuring the young singer's relatively high-pitched, easy to listen to vocals, is without a doubt, quite catchy. Some of the songs featured in Justin Bieber's "My World" collection album include brand new acoustic renderings of Bieber favorites, such as "One Time," "That Should Be Me," "Down to Earth," "U Smile," "Baby," "Stuck in the Moment," "One Less Lonely Girl," and a live performance of "Favorite Girl." Additionally, Bieber released a brand new number entitled "Pray."

Justin Bieber also made several appearances in different live shows in the US and Europe. He has performed in some awards night and special gatherings and was invited as one of the vocalists in the remake of "We Are the World". Bieber will begin recording his next album this summer. Fans all over the globe are already anticipating its first single that will surely dominate the top music charts after its release.

Other than the music he has release a 3D movie, acted in CSI as a troubled teenager, was a presenter at the Grammys, has been invited to as a guest to all the top late night and morning TV shows, has won tons of awards and performed for the president of the United States of America. What a mouthful. He has achieved so much at the age of 16 that most would not even contemplate in their lifetime. So is that it? No way , he is just getting started. With the Justin Bieber Doll line, nail polish, fragrance and so many other products to be launched, he is making sure that if and when his popularity fades, he will not have to worry about financial status later on.
