Usher impressed with teenage singer Bieber
April 26th, 2010 - 9:25 pm ICT by IANSLondon, April 26 (IANS) R&B singer Usher is impressed with Justin Bieber and says the teenage singer is “more talented musician” than he was at that age.
“You haven’t seen the best of him. He is a pop craze like ‘The Beatles’. They started out as pure pop artists and look what they became over the years,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.
Usher met the Canadian singer in 2008 and insists he’s not surprised Bieber is now topping the charts and he’s convinced the 16-year-old is set to grow in popularity.
“Justin reminds me of myself at that age, only he’s a much more talented musician than I was. He taught himself piano and guitar. I couldn’t, so he has that advantage. This isn’t about his age and we’re never going to appease a crowd. His audience will grow with him. I started out when I was a teenager. Now, 45 million albums later…,” he said.
Bieber’s debut single, “One Time”, was released worldwide during 2009 and was on the list of top 30s in over 10 countries.
