10. Justin Bieber is my favorite singer. I love his music. He
make me happy when I hear him singing. When I am really
down and sad. I will hear one of Justin’s songs.
He is also cute. I like the way he sings and when I first heard
him sing ‘Baby’ and saw him do the video of the song and
that’s how I started liking him. He can also play any kind of
instruments that I like, for example: guitar, and piano. I
became a belieber since I listen to his music from the first
time.
His music gave me a awesome feeling, like he was there for me
to comfort and help me. The most important thing is that
Justin taught me to never say never. He teach me that dreams
do come true, if you really want it. He made me smile, I can
talk hours about what I love about Justin, his hair, his voice,
his dougie, his eyes, his humour… but this is what I tell people
first. This is the reason why I really love him.
