Justin Bieber has scored a spot on the annual list, which this year includes Glee actor Chris Colfer, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Bieber's mentor Usher wrote the accompanying blurb, gushing:
From the minute I met Justin, I knew this kid possessed a certain confidence that only a star could have. He was born a star. He knew what he wanted to accomplish; all he had to do was get everyone else to believe it. Now, looking back at his incredible run, the reality of who he is and what he's accomplished far exceeds anybody's expectations of him.Usher promises you haven't seen the best of the Biebs, saying, "Stay tuned, because his story will get even better." Still, he fails to note just how Justin has influenced others. But we know Justin has inspired at least one major player: NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who for months was trying his hand at Bieber's now-shorn shag.
