Justin Bieber doesn't have any rivals, he says

  • June 18, 2012
  • Joel Freeman

Justin Bieber doesn't think he has any con­tenders in 'The Business'.

Doing the pro­mo­tional rounds for his latest album 'Believe', in an interview with Metro —  speaking about 'creative control' and 'keeping it respect­ful' and etc etc — Justin revealed that he doesn't consider any of his con­tem­por­ar­ies his rivals.

"I don’t really have one," Justin modestly explains. "The only person that I  really look up to, talent-wise, is Michael Jackson. And Usher, he’s my mentor. But really, that’s  about it."

Poor Cody Simpson.

Moving on, he added: "I just want to make good music and not have people say they’re a loser for listening to me", which is nice.

'Believe' is out now.
