As evidenced by the throng of girls who follow him on Twitter, camp out to see his shows and squeal at his every appearance, Justin Bieber is most definitely a teen heartthrob. But that heartthrob status makes Bieber a little uneasy.
"I feel like I just don't want to be another teen heartthrob, 'cause that's just -- I just think that that just annoys me," Bieber told NBC News special correspondent Ryan Seacrest. "To think that that's what people will -- will think of me -- I just want to prove people wrong."
Bieber's newest album, "Believe" is a step away from his heartthrob status and in the direction of serious musical artist, he tells Seacrest.
"I think 'Believe' is really -- my new album has really showcased what I'm capable of -- especially becoming an 18-year-old and becoming an adult. And hearing older people say, 'Wow, this new album's great. Like I didn't know that was Justin Bieber.' Or, you know, 'Wow, like I never used to listen to Justin Bieber's music, and now I like his music.' Or -- 'This, 'As Long As You Love Me,' that's Justin Bieber singing?'
"Like, I like those reactions, because I feel like they're now -- they're -- judging me based on my music and not based on, you know, my -- a flick of my hair. You know?"
Bieber's mother Pattie Mallette, who recently penned the book "Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom," is also part of the interview. She reveals in the book that she almost named her son Jesse. "I called him Jesse the whole pregnancy," Mallette told Seacrest. "And then, once he was born, I was like, 'No, he doesn't look like a Jesse. Justin.' (Bieber admits being named Jesse "would have been weird").
