Well, I think that so many people started watching his videos and so many people were talking about him, eventually scouts and record labels looked him up out of curiosity. It's happened with many celebrities. I had first heard of him in 2006 because all my friends were watching him on youtube (i was in 6th grade) and now it's 2010 and he's famous! haha.

A manager found him in youtube and decided to fly him to Atlanta, Georgia. He sung for Usher, Usher signed him up, Bam! He's famous.

Justin Timberlake wanted to sign him too, but Justin picked Usher

He posted videos of himself in talent shows for his family members to watch who couldn't make it. People eventually started watching his videos. Then Usher and Justin Timberlake both wanted to sign him and Justin Bieber chose Usher. Now Justin is managed by Scooter Braun. I don't exactly know how people knew to watch his videos though. Someone told me about them and thats how I started watching him.

justin bieber got famous by YOUTUBE!!
everybody knows these stories about him. ( well mostly everybody)
he was at school and there was a talent show which he was in. only a few of his family members could make it so his MOM ( yes it was his mom ) who had put the video of him on to YOUTUBE which apparently got a a lot of views. Unexpectedly, Usher was one of those people who saw it. Usher liked it a lot so he made his manager see it. His manager really like him as well and started doing whatever they could to get a hold of him. Luckily, they did. they contacted him and his parents. ( mom ) and they all agreed. after a few of his celebrity moments ( true jackson vp ) he started singing and making records. that is how he got famous. now everyone knows about him. he owes a lot to his mom for putting up that video and he owes a lot to usher for hooking him up.

these is 1 video on youtube. before you get distracted by any other videos a long the side bar. first watch this 1 vid. this is a video interview on how he was discoverd.

ustin Bieber Fans are TOO much to handle..
An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find inside Justin Bieber. But all it takes is one listen to the 16 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers.

After posting dozens of homemade videos on YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth.

"I started singing about three years ago," says the Canadian native who grew up an only child in Stratford, Ontario. "I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn't taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was only 12 and I got second place."

In an effort to share his victory with his loved ones, Justin began posting his performance footage online. "I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my friends and family could watch them," he says. "But it turned out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. That's how my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now I'm signed!"

Seven months after Justin started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, GA to meet with his elite colleagues. As if Justin's natural singing talent wasn't enough to impress Scooter's inner circle, Braun knew Bieber was also a self-taught musician who plays the drums, guitar, piano and trumpet.

"Right when we flew into Atlanta, Scooter drove us to the studio and Usher was there in the parking lot," remembers Bieber. "That was my first time ever being out of Canada so I went up to him and was like, 'Hey Usher, I love your songs, do you want me to sing you one?' He was like, 'No little buddy, just come inside, it's cold out.'"

All it took was a short time online for Usher to realize he was in the company of a future superstar. "A week later Usher flew me back to Atlanta," says Bieber. "I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It turned out Usher's deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta. I always tease Usher now and remind him he how he blew me off the first time we met."

In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially signed to Island Records. His debut album, My World is an intimate look into the mind of a budding young renaissance man. With production from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced "Umbrella" for Rihanna and Beyonce's latest smash, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," Justin has everything he needs to achieve pop supremacy.

His first single, "One Time" produced by Tricky, is about one of Justin's favorite topics, puppy love. Usher joins Justin on "First Dance" where the two share verses on a song that Bieber describes as, "A slow groovy song that people can dance to." On the Midi-Mafia produced "Down to Earth" Justin digs deep to talk about growing up. "Bigger" finds the teenaged singer maturing at a steady rate, while motivating his listeners to strive for their goals.

"I'm looking forward to influencing others in a positive way," says Justin. "My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college and just become a better person."

A virtually untapped well of natural artistic talent, Justin Bieber is primed to be a solid force in music for many years to come. "I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it's not corny," he says. "I think I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me." And just think, he's just getting started.
