The 16-year-old has hordes of young female fans, but his fame means he has also been criticised by some who dislike his music. They claim the Canadian singer will lose his appeal when his voice deepens naturally, something Justin finds annoying. He plans to continue working in the industry for the rest of his life, and doesn’t mind that his tones will change over time. “They say, ‘When he goes through puberty he’s not going to be a good singer anymore,’” Justin admitted. “But I don’t let the haters get to me. The harder you work, the more successful you can be. This is just the beginning for me.”
Justin is already finding his voice is changing. His hit Baby requires him to sing a lot of high notes, and the star has found it a struggle to reach some of them at recent concerts. “It cracks, like every teenage boy’s,” he said of his voice. “Even some of the notes on Baby I can’t hit anymore. We have to lower the key when I sing it live.”
