Justin Bieber influenced by Michael Jackson

London (ANI): Teenage pop sensation Justin Bieber has admitted that wants to have the same kind of stardom that the King of Pop Michael Jackson had. "Music is music, and I'm definitely influenced by Michael Jackson," the Daily Star quoted Bieber as telling Vanity Fair magazine.

"Michael was able to reach audiences from young to old; he never limited himself. He was so broad, everybody loved him, and that's what my goal is to basically make people happy, to inspire them, and to have everyone root for me.

"For younger guys, it's like (they think) they're not cool if they come to my concert. That'll (change), I think; it'll happen, maybe when I'm 18. But meanwhile all their girlfriends are coming to watch me," added Bieber.
