YouTube Sensational-
But it was an obscure talent contest
in his hometown, in which the 12-
year-old Bieber finished second that
put him on the road to superstardom. As a way to share his singing with family, Justin and his mom began posting clips of Bieber performing covers of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Ne-Yo on YouTube.
Within months, Justin was an
Internet sensation, with a large
following of fans and an eager
manager arranging for the teenager
to fly to Atlanta to consider a record
deal. There, Bieber had a chance
meeting with Usher, who eventually
signed the young singer to a
contract.

Tarnished Image -
While still only in his teens, Bieber
survived his first public scandal. A
woman filed suit against Bieber in
2011, claiming that he was the
father of her child. But a DNA test
proved that the young pop star was
not the father and the woman
dropped her lawsuit. Bieber sang
about the scandal in the song
"Maria."

That was only the beginning of a
string of scandals, bad behavior and
unfavorable press for the young pop
artist, though he did manage to have
another Top 10 hit with the party
anthem "Beauty and a Beat,"
featuring Nicki Minaj. In March 2013,
Bieber's neighbor accused the singer
of spitting on him, in addition to
making threatening comments. Two
months later, denizens of Bieber's
neighborhood in Calabasas,
California, complained about that he
was driving too fast in a residential
area.

On April 15, 2013, Bieber visited a
museum in Amsterdam that paid tribute to Anne Frank. Upon writing
that the young journalist "would
have been a Belieber," he faced more
backlash from the public. On July 9,
2013, his image was scrutinized
once again after he was recorded
urinating in a janitor's bucket and
yelling "F--- Bill Clinton," holding a
photo of the former president.
Although he later apologized, his
previously squeaky clean image
began to tarnish even more.
On January 14, 2014, Bieber's home
in California was searched after he
was accused of egging a neighbor's
house. Nine days later, Bieber was
arrested for suspicion of drag racing
and driving under the influence. After
a Breathalyzer test showed that
Bieber wasn't sober, he was taken
into custody where he stayed until
he posted bail, which was set at
$2,500. The charges however were
reduced to only resisting arrest.
