will.i.am claims Justin Bieber is the next Michael Jackson!
Quote:
Black Eyed Peas star Will.I.Am appears to have caught Bieber-fever (or some other unfortunate affliction) as, in a recent interview, he is quoted as saying:
Via MTV:
“Justin Bieber could be like Prince. Justin Bieber could be like Michael Jackson where his career is like, for like, ‘Wow! Explain its 2030, Justin Bieber, your career is so long. You’re the first artist to be broadcasted to Mars. How do you feel about that?’ Justin Bieber could be that dude.”
Will.I.Am is said to be hard at work at multiple projects, including that of Bieber’s. The star also has the honor of being one of the last producers featured on Jackson’s work before his untimely passing.
I really don't understand why people make such audacious comments in relation to what he could achieve in the future when there's very little to back it up. HI success thus far has been based entirely upon his appeal to the tween market, he won't have that connection in the coming years. He's yet to have a hit that has made a sizeable impact, I still think he'll fade.
