Justin Bieber: “Michael Jackson Is My Only Role Model”

Justin Bieber recently told Forbes, in an interview, that he only takes Michael Jackson as his role model. When it comes to programming and business, which artists do you look up to? - For me, there’s only one person—everything I do is inspired by him, and that is Michael Jackson. He’s not only an outstanding dancer and showman, but also a humanitarian and a kind-hearted person who always helps others. Most people don’t know that Michael was a shrewd businessman. Do you also take inspiration from that trait? - Yes (pointing to his manager). He wants me not to be one of those artists whose work is done entirely by others.

He also said in a conversation with Today Show on September 13: "Michael Jackson is the ultimate artist, a showman and a performer, and I take inspiration from him. His music has so much passion and energy. I want that passion and energy to be in my music too." Source: eMJey.com / Forbes & Today Show
