Slow down Bieber, says Gibson
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 17 January 2011
It’s all very well having Usher as a protégé, but has Justin Bieber consulted Debbie Gibson for advice on being a teen pop star? No? Well, she’s got some advice for the Biebster anyways – slow down boy.
Gibson, who was seventeen when her moment of pop glory came in 1987, says that teen stars who do “too much too soon” risk crashing and burning when they hit their twenties.
Asked by Eonline.com about her advice for America’s latest teen pop sensation, Gibson said: “People have to remember that, even though a kid can be wise beyond their years professionally and can handle showbiz, emotionally you’re not developed. Somebody has got to remember that Justin is sixteen”.
The popster might “lose his sanity” later if he doesn’t stay grounded. She relied on her mum for such things, she added.
