Justin Bieber Seventeen Magazine: I Want To Make Selena Gomez Happy
April 10, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Justin Bieber covers Seventeen Magazine May 2012. The shoot’s something of an oddity, in that Bieber returns to his preternaturally-young state on the cover while sporadically looking a little more aged through some of the other photos. Although one can assume this is a new shoot, it’s like the cover’s a year-old archive and rest of the photos are brand new. Weird. It’s a passably-good shoot though. Bland, obvious, and inoffensive enough for the 18-year-old’s demo to palate: Bieber sitting atop an instrument, rather than playing it; Bieber putting up his dukes, again; Bieber touching his hair; Bieber singing. It’s all there.
His interview is what you’d expect from Seventeen too. It’s… nice. It’s not supposed to be revelatory, deep, or even especially interesting. It’s just skimmable fodder while people stare at the photos. That said, Bieber thinks people are listening since he’s offering even more relationship advice.
On his role model: “Usher is who I look to for guidance. From the beginning, he told me to put family first and you’ll always succeed, because your family will never leave you. He told me to always stay humble and never forget where I came from.”
On keeping the same fans as they age out: “A lot of times, when artists grow older, they lose their younger fans because they’re just trying to get older fans. But if you try to make good music, then you’ll just appease everybody. I just want to make music that’s good for everybody.”
On being romantic to please his girlfriend: “I’m just trying to make her happy, that’s all. I think it’s important to make all women feel like they’re princesses, because every girl is a princess. I’m serious.”
On not wasting food: “Recently, there were so many things in my rider that went to waste, so I took a lot of things off my rider. Every day we were buying all this stuff and it was just sitting there. I got rid of it, I didn’t want to waste all the food.” – via Seventeen Magazine.
