"Things happen for a reason," says Ne-Yo recently revealed that it was he who discovered teen singing sensation Justin Bieber and not Usher Raymond. According to straightfromthea.com, Ne-Yo revealed that Justin covered one of his songs on Youtube, which stirred up a big buzz.Ne-Yo explained: "He came to a show and performed and was incredible then, but I didn’t do anything because he was just 11-years-old."
Four years later Justin auditioned for Usher and was signed up by Island Def Jam chairman Antonia “L.A.” Reid.
However, Ne-Yo feels a little differently about Justin Bieber's success than most. He commented on the matter, and added that he was okay, but managed to throw a low blow and comments that Justin’s hits aren’t memorable and he still has some work to do.
“I have no regrets. Things happen for a reason. He wasn’t supposed to be signed to me. Usher has done good. Where he is now is where he’s meant to be.”
“I still feel like he’s figuring out things. Once he gets some tangible records he’ll be a force to be reckoned with. Ten years from now no one will be singing Baby.
It’s good but not very memorable.
Justin is great on the drums and the guitar. He has talent and potential to land up there with Justin Timberlake and co… Talent will take you further than looks, than how flat your stomach is.”
