Justin Bieber shows off his self-confidence by comparing the path of his career to that of Justin Timberlake. In a recent interview, the 21-year-old singer claimed that his career is rising similar to what the 'Cry Me A River' singer experienced.
Justin Timberlake who started in the showbiz industry as a teen idol who later became a famous pop star.
"He was in NSYNC and of course they had an amazing sound but it was also, it was young. It was for teenagers," Bieber recalled.
The 'What Do You Mean?' singer found a similarity in the career trajectory of Timberlake and his. Like the 34-year-old actor, Justin Bieber also transitioned from being a cute teen heartthrob into a sexy performer.
"And I feel when he transitioned and started making 'SexyBack' and stuff, he really found something that was unique to what he was feeling and what he wanted to do. So I think it takes time as an artist to develop your style and develop what you like and what you don't like," the singer stated.
The 'Where Are You Now' singer whose new singles like 'Sorry' and 'What Do You Mean' topped the charts stated that change is inevitable.
This is not the first time that the 'As Long As You Love Me' singer compared himself to Justin Timberlake. The young singer has always been known for his admiration to the former boy band member.
"I can't say I would be upset when someone compares me to him - I just feel like my music is going a completely different route. But definitely, hat goes off to him," the singer said when asked if JT influenced his music.
Regarding his new album titled 'Purpose', Justin Bieber revealed that the title came from the previous happenings in his life.
"You know, I named the album Purpose. And the reason why I named it Purpose was because for a while there I feel like I lost my purpose. And I feel like I found my purpose again," stated Bieber.
