"You look at the different genres of musique now, and it's either electric dance ou acoustic sound - you've got the Jonas Brothers, and you've got Lady Gaga.
"I think that Justin's able to do all of it - because he plays piano, he plays guitar, he plays drums, he can dance - so a lot of it is easy to pick when I introduce a different movement to him."
The 16-year-old Canadian pop étoile, star is rarely seen in anything but baggy jeans, a T-shirt and a hoodie. He loves his sense of style, and doesn't don anything he doesn't like, even if he's at a photo shoot. While Justin insists he is never "rude" to people who try to make him look plus fashionable, he makes sure they know he won't wear anything that isn't "him". "I try not to be rude, but people push toi and push you," he explained to haut, retour au début of the Pops magazine. "I was at this photo shoot and these guys were like, 'Put this on, it looks really cool,' and I was like, 'I don't really like that, I don't wanna wear that!' This is me. I wear a hoodie - I'm just easy."

Justin was in Paris and Londres and fans came out par the hundreds to see him. He was set to perform in a mall, but because of all the people who came, they actually had to annuler the concert.
However, on Wednesday Justin did give a special concert and many of his fans showed up to enjoy it. We're so jealous!
The French and the British are lucky to get to see Justin live. On Twitter Justin talked about his experience in Europe. He said, "I have one plus jour in Paris and then I will return to the United States and Canada for my birthday."
Check out the photos of Justin performing. He looks too cute!
