Justin Bieber Melbourne May 2, 2011
15 years ago
In less than a year, Justin Bieber has gone from internet sensation to full-blown pop star. And, the 16-year-old stopped by "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Tuesday (May 11) to admit that he's still trying to comprehend his fame and success.
"It's been pretty crazy coming from a little town in Canada and now being able to travel the world and do what I love," he told Oprah. "I was just posting videos online for fun. I never really thought this was possible, so I never really dreamed of it."
"He's got such a great team of people around him," his mom, Pattie, said on the show. "[They] protect his character and treat him like a kid and make sure that he stays grounded and has fun. I think I would worry more if he was in high school where I wouldn't know what he was doing, whereas now I know who he's with and where he is all the time."
Bieber, who is currently filming a video for "Somebody to Love," is quick to add that the people in his entourage are a tight-knit set and that he's careful about who is added to that group. "We're really skeptical who we let on our team. We've grown to be kind of like a family. It's been incredible," he explained.
To ensure that he isn't too inundated by the trappings of his new superstardom, Bieber takes off one day a week to be a normal kid.
"We try to take off at least one day a week for me to be a regular kid, go play basketball, hang out with my friends and, you know, just do what I like to do," he explained. "Sometimes for that day I just sleep all day because the six days before I'm exhausted."
And while he usually spends his off days doing more "normal" things like basketball, sometimes he also gets the normal treatment when his mom grounds him.
"My mom takes things that I really like, like my computer, my phone. She takes my phone away for a couple of days and I'm like, 'Oh, I need that!' " he said, adding there's no way he could get out of it by saying that he's Justin Bieber. He added, "She'll slap me in the face!"
But, unlike most teen boys, they don't have screaming girls following them everywhere they go. "It's pretty hard to comprehend. Like everything's just kind of surreal," he said, adding "I have no clue!" why they scream at him.

Oprah holding a Justin Bieber
Justin will show up on Tuesday, May 11, about a month before he begins his headlining tour in North America and Canada. During the episode Oprah will also invite Filipina singing sensation Charice whose self-titled album happens to be released on that day. Judging from the list of guest, the episode could be about young and popular performers.
Look how happy Oprah is of this news. (Much better than the surprised looked from last time hahaha)

It has not been officially confirmed but Justin will be on the Oprah Winfrey show in the very near future.
I came across a contest that Oprah.com is holding for the biggest Justin Bieber fan. This must mean that he has already been booked for the show because Oprah doesn't just hold this kind of contest for nothing.
So if you think you are Justin's #1 fan then I suggest you take some time and think of how you can convince Oprah to pick you as the winner. Take pictures of your JB shrine. Make a video. Write a short letter telling her why you are his biggest fan. Or maybe draw her a picture if you're an artist. The winner will likely get a free trip to Chicago to watch Justin perform on her show.
