Justin Bieber is really bummed he never got the chance to meet Michael Jackson. Justin has always claimed Michael was one of his biggest influences and has emulated his moves and style on numerous occasions. The two singers have a lot in common and Michael could have helped steer Justin's career in the right direction. Not that Justin's career is suffering, but it can only get better.
After the hand print ceremony, Justin took a few minutes to chat with Billy Bush of Access Hollywood. Justin looked a little depressed during the interview. He told Billy, "I wish I would have been able to meet him." There are millions of people who would have loved to have the chance to meet Michael, but Justin's reasons were most likely a little different.
Justin would have been able to pick Michael's brain a bit. Can you imagine the magic Justin and Michael would have been able to create? Justin says, "It's just really sad." The Canadian singer's first single came out the same week Michael passed away. As Justin puts it, "It was really unfortunate."
Michael may not be here in person, but his spirit lives on in Justin and other performers. Justin explains Michael's impact on his life and career, "He gave me hope." The Biebs is inspired to be the best he can be and that is something he learned from Michael. The King of Pop was a perfectionist and never settled for good enough. Justin is hoping to imitate that same perfectionism every time he walks out on stage.
Although the 17-year-old is regularly compared to MJ, he knows he can never compete with the legend. He is very matter-of-fact and says, "There's never gonna be another Michael Jackson, as long as anyone lives." It is good to know Justin's success has not gone to his head and he realizes that no matter the comparisons, Michael Jackson achieved an entirely different level of fame.
