As another pop star put it a decade ago, Justin Bieber is not a boy, not yet a man.But hed certainlylike to transition to an older fan base, so as Bieber Fever hits adults (or is it just me?), the eighteen-year-oldopened up toGQabout drinking, haters, and the struggles about how one goes from teenybopper to Timberlake in 2012 .
Features in magazines for adults, as opposed toTiger BeatandSeventeen, certainly help, and this latest interview shows a more mature Biebs than whenRolling Stonecaught up with him last year and he madesome ill-advised remarksabout abortion and Korea.This new media-savvy Bieber is a Baby no more. He even shot a fun cameo for last weeks NSFWSaturday Night Livedigital short. With his new albumBelieveout June 19th, the timing is perfect for a big leap forward. Adult superstar? Never say never. (Side note: The new video for Boyfriendis certainly helping things.) We parsed through the profile below to bring you up to speed.-No club stumbles for him. If Justin Bieber was your boyfriend, hed let you drink some beer. The still-underage star showed a healthier view of imbibing than most college freshman his age. For me, its just like, I like ! to be in control of myself, he told the magazine. I mean, Ive had a beer, like, before. But I never get out of control. Points for candor, plus an eighteen-year-old who occasionally drinks is about the safest danger that Biebers handlers could hope for.
-Ive never made a bad song, Bieber proclaims.Were going to have to agree to disagree, Justin, but that ego shows a performer who is eagar to keep hustling cheesy Christmas album or not.
-Biebers been Keeping Up With The Kardashians.When members of his entourage start making fun of Kim, he jumps to her defense and claims, She works hard. The Kardashian love is strong in that one. Im no K.K. defender, but its nice to see someone who gets a lot of flack sticking up for someone else who does. Even if said person is someone many others in the entertainment industry Jon Hamm, Daniel Craig want nothing to do with.
As the GQ profile points out, the road is not kind to grown-up pop stars, and it can be tough to transition to an artist with respect. Popwatchers: Where is your Bieber Fever registering these days? Will you pick up a copy of Believe?
