          Avalanna Routh was a six year old girl who had a disease known as brain cancer. She was a die heart Justin Bieber fan and was nicknamed "Mrs.Bieber". Her family tried contacting Justin's manager and finally got in touch. They had Justin come and visit Avalanna without her knowing. Hopefully this would lift everybody's spirits and get Avalanna cheerful once again. When Justin heard about her story, he had to help.  When Justin and Avalanna met, it was love at first sight. They played games, bonded, talked, and got to know each other. When Justin heard that she wanted to be called Mrs.Bieber, he fell more in love. Justin kept visiting and wanting to hang out with her more and more. Soon, Justin and Avalanna were best friends, Avalanna's dream came true and that made Justin feel good. The months past and Avalanna was getting worse and worse. Avalanna past away on Wednesday, September 26, 2012.

Justin appeared on The View, 2010 Kids Choice Awards, Nightline,  Late Show with David Letterman, The Dome, and 106 and Park. Justin began recording his second album in July 2010 in NYC. At this point, his voice was deeper than it was when he recorded his first album. Justin couldn't hit all of the high notes in "Baby" so they had to change them around.

      A 3-D part biopic, part-concert film starring Justin Bieber entitled Justin Bieber: Never Say Never was released on February 11, 2011. It topped the box office with a gross of $12.4 million on its opening day from 3,105 theaters. Never Say Never reportedly exceeded industry expectations nearly matching the Hannah Montana Movie. The more publicity, the more fans this teen heart throb would get.

                                            Justin Bieber- Road to Discovery

   Justin Bieber was a small town boy that lived in Stratford, Ontario. As a child, he would play his drums and sing amazingly his hobbies were also hockey and other sports! He started off by posting videos of him singing on YouTube for his relatives to watch. Turns out, not only his relatives were watching. One day, Justin's mother, Pattie, suddenly got a phone call from Scooter Braun , a former marketer executive for So So Def. Pattie had absolutely NO idea who this random man was. Pattie was in shock when Scooter wanted to fly her and Justin,now 13, out to Atlanta, Georgia. Pattie agreed having no clue what she was getting her and her son into.

       Pattie agreed and flew out to Atlanta and then began recording demo tapes. A week after arriving, Justin sang for singer/song writer Usher. Usher liked him so much that he set up an audition for Justin with Antonio L.A. Reid of Island Def Jam Music Group. Reid signed Justin to Island Records in October 2008. Now, at this point Pattie and Justin moved to Atlanta temporarily. Scooter and Justin consulted for a while before he became Justin's manager. Then, his career shot up from there...
