5 Things We Never Thought We'd See Justin Bieber Do

May 11, 2012 - 9:02 pm by Keenan Higgins

Since our boy Justin Bieber hit the pop scene, everything from the Internet, social networking, and fandom in general—just ask Selena Gomez about the "Beliebers"—has never been the same.

Sometime around late 2008-mid 2009, Biebs took the music world by storm and has yet to let up. However, his evolution from baby-faced tween heartthrob to newly-legal global phenomenon has been well documented—and well noticed. From swag-surfing to affiliating with #TheMoneyTeam (we saw you at the Mayweather/Cotto fight last week man!), there's a lot that Bieb is doing that we would've never expected from him.

Check out our list and see if you agree with the 5 Things We Never Thought We'd See Justin Bieber Do.

Justin Bieber

1. Rapping—And Killing It!

1. Rapping—And Killing It! This really made everyone think in unison, "What can't this kid do?!" Although there were rumors of some ghost writing being done, you can't deny how comfortable he flows on the mic. The next Eminem? No. But Bieb gets definite cool points for laying this down.

2. Cutting The Infamous Locks

2. Cutting The Infamous Locks For the longest, Justin Bieber's hair was almost as famous as his music. "The Bieber Shag" was probably the most well-known hairstyle in 2009 and 2010. When he decided to chop it off for a more "mature" look, you could almost hear the hearts breaking of tweens worldwide. However, the cut didn't affect his popularity in any way. It may have even helped.

3. Dueting With Boyz II Men

3. Dueting With Boyz II Men Granted, all pop stars at some point do a Christmas album, so it wasn't a surprise when Justin released his during last years holiday season. The thing that shocked us was, he chose to collaborate with 90s favorites like Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. While the Mariah duet was just as surprising, when Bieb jumped in the studio with one of our favorite male R&B groups from back in the day, he proved that his musical inspirations were in the right place.

4. Getting In A High-Profile Relationship So Soon

4. Getting In A High-Profile Relationship So Soon We all understand that you can't control who or when you fall in love. We just never expected Just to fall so soon into his career! It's a known fact that management likes for their artists to appear single so fans can have the "dream" of being with their favorite singer. We give credit to Justin for doing what he wanted and getting with Disney princess Selena Gomez. We do pray for the girl though—management may have had a point when it comes to the "Beliebers" and their hate/envy for the relationship!

5. Joining "The Money Team"

5. Joining "The Money Team" The most recent in our Bieber shocks is this newly developed "friendship." Justin can be seen above with 50 Cent helping Floyd Mayweather carry in his championship belts during his fight with Miguel Cotto last week. Who would've thought Bieber would be in the ring cheesing and celebrating with Mayweather after the last punch was thrown in his victory? But then again, is this not a better team that's more fit for The Bieb to join?
