00:00 It's been amazing, you know, I've been blessed to be able to go around and be liked around the world.
00:06 It's been amazing.
00:07 Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber first gained attention as a YouTube phenomenon.
00:19 He wanted people to sit up and take notice.
00:22 Oh my god, they did.
00:23 He was the first person to get a billion hits.
00:26 He was a bedroom sensation.
00:29 Usher's like a big brother to me.
00:31 We hang out all the time, he takes me go-karting, we play basketball.
00:34 After signing a record deal with Usher's label, Bieber turned a generation of teen girls into
00:40 Beliebers.
00:42 If I was your boyfriend I'd never let you down.
00:44 I can take you places you ain't never been before.
00:47 Let me take a chance so you'll never ever know.
00:49 I got money in my hands and I really like to...
00:52 He kind of seems like this kid who was meant to do one thing and one thing only, make music.
00:58 Justin Bieber was barely in his teens when he released his 2009 debut EP My World and
01:05 became one of the youngest success stories in contemporary pop when it sold 5 million
01:11 copies worldwide.
01:12 I believe in myself.
01:15 I believe in my dreams.
01:18 I think that Justin Bieber is the biggest pop star in the world right now, legitimately.
01:23 He just really inspired and caught the public mood.
01:27 Girls wanted a new hero and Justin Bieber, he was that man.
01:31 He had music in him.
01:33 Throughout the early stages of his career, Justin had always upheld a squeaky clean image.
01:39 But since 2013, a string of scandals have tarnished Justin's image significantly.
01:46 He's a massive, massive, massive artist.
01:48 I mean there's always interest in whatever he does now at this point.
01:51 I think Justin is like one of these kids who prays, you know, and when bad things happen
01:55 he also looks to God.
01:57 And damn, when he flamed out, it happened in as massive a way as you can imagine.
02:03 I think it's part of being followed 24 hours a day.
02:06 I mean I think most people wouldn't have any idea how to deal with it.
02:08 Despite his newly acquired bad boy image, the pop megastar is still one of the hottest
02:14 celebrities in the entertainment industry today.
02:17 I don't think he gets any bigger than Justin Bieber right now.
02:20 Get to that level of success, you just have to want it that badly.
02:24 He is the superstar who came from nowhere, a prodigy with a controversial path.
02:30 The world had to pay attention because he's so big.
