Gossip Teen

Canadian teen sensation Justin Bieber landed the cover of the latest issue of Billboard Magazine, the most prestigious music industry weekly publication. In the interview, Justin confessed he does not want to act and be like Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus and reveals how he deals with bad criticism. Here are some highlights:

On the haters: “There’s more people that like me than there are who hate me, so I kind of brush it off. People say, ‘Oh, people just like him because he’s pretty.’ Or the funniest one: ‘When he goes through puberty, he’s not going to be a good singer anymore. How does that make sense when we’ve seen people like Michael Jackson and Usher and Justin Timberlake and all these famous singers do it?”

On playing Madison Square Garden: “I just think that I have enough fans, so I could pull in the people. I don’t really get nervous anymore. I’ve already performed at Madison Square Garden, and I’ve performed for an hour before. What’s the difference?”
