Justin Bieber Teen Vogue 2013 Cover PHOTOS & Interview: 'I Just Want to Get Better'
Justin Bieber debuted via Twitter two different covers of Teen Vogue's May 2013 issue in which the Canadian pop singer posed for.
In one image, the 19-year-old looks over his shoulder at the camera while wearing a white wife beater T-shirt, which shows off the hockey team logo tattoo on his shoulder blade. In the second cover, Bieber sports a red and black plaid shirt as he looks straight into the camera.
In his interview with the magazine, he spoke about his grand Believe tour, which he is currently on, his fifth number one album and the rapper he hopes to see in concert soon. The singer has come a long way from his upbringing in Stratford, Ontario and the teen star has already hosted Saturday Night Live (an honor for any celebrity), has a second concert movie in the works and is on his biggest tour yet.
The singer said "I'm on no sleep," which is probably explained by the fact that he is touring four continents and more than 70 cities in 2013 alone, with more shows to be scheduled. Currently on the European leg of his tour, he said, "I'm there the same time as Lil Wayne!"
"That's pretty cool. I'm probably going to one of his shows." (Shortly after the interview, the rapper's tour was postponed due to health concerns).
Rumors continue to follow the singer and have escalated recently due to his antics, the lastest being the LAPD investigation he is involved in. Bieber addressed the worldwide speculation and said "I know who I am, and I'm very much in control." He noted that social media helps him out in this aspect.
"I see so much stuff on the Internet, sometimes I just want to go to Twitter and just go after people. But then I just think twice: If someone is dissing me, I'm going to make this person way more famous by tweeting them," he said. "There's so much nonsense that gets out there that's not true. I would rather spend time really interacting with my fans. You just have to keep your head high and be positive."
He strives to be the best he can and said, "When I get to the top, I just want to get better."
Bieber also talked about the drama surrounding his fame - both private and personal aspects of it - staying grounded and the people he counts as friends. He called rapper Lil Twist his "best friend." He said his enjoying connecting with his fans via Twitter, adding, "I have so many fans that I rarely ever see a nasty tweet." However, he noted that he does not read YouTube comments "because those can get you sad."
