Teen sensation Justin Bieber says that he only looks up to late pop legend Michael Jackson for career guidance.
Both singers became international sensations when they were very young, and unlike many child stars, Jackson went on to have a long career.
“A lot of teen stars didn’t really work, did they? So I’m doing my own thing. The only person I look at for guidance is Michael Jackson. I definitely look at his career when he was young and growing up in the spotlight. Career-wise I would say he’s the biggest artist ever,” contactmusic.com quoted the 18-year-old as saying.
Justin Bieber tells a secret. He says record producers use vocal-tuning software “Melodyne” to adjust his singing, but not AUTO-TUNE, reports contactmusic.com
Justin is said that he refuses to use Auto-Tune, the popular audio processor utilized by other singers including Britney Spears, but recording studio engineers correct the pitch of his singing with Melodyne software.
Justin said:
“I don’t use Auto-Tune.
“They tune my vocals – they use Melodyne. But every artist uses Melodyne. Not every artist, but 99 per cent of artists. I like the sound, the perfectness of tuning in the record. No one has completely perfect pitch.”

“The One Direction guys are great. We have a lot of fun whenever we hang out. They came over my house and we were just chilling out around the pool and listening to music.
“We were talking about me collaborating with them on a song on their next album. It’s gonna be great.”
Justin also revealed that 1D are keen to work with come other big names in the music industry. He said:
“And I asked them who else they would like to work with. They were, like, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez.
“Now don’t get me wrong those are all very talented artists but there seems to be a pattern emerging and, looking at the smile on the guys’ faces, I don’t think it was all about the music…”
“They sure have an eye for the ladies but, even better for the guys, the ladies have a bit of an eye for them, too.
“From what I hear they shouldn’t have much trouble trying to persuade Rihanna, Katy or Taylor to work with them… if you know what I’m saying.”
