Justin Bieber

How long will Selena Gomez and Just Bieber be together as a couple?

Justin's mom recently said she thinks Selena is good for her son, according to a report, and though Bieber didn't address his longevity for his relationship with Gomez, he did comment on his singing career.

He wants to be around as an artist for a long time.

Justin Bieber doesn't want a short stay in the business and has revealed he doesn't wish to be ''just another teen heartthrob''.

The 18-year-old singer kicks off a grueling world tour later this month and is determined the shows will take him to the ''next level'' and silence any of his critics.

He said: ''I don't want to be just another teen heartthrob. I know some people are waiting for me to fail, thinking, 'Oh, his time's up.' Well, I like being the underdog, and this tour is my chance to take things to the next level.

''I've never put in more hours preparing, because I want [the tour] to be perfect. I want it to be an event.

''I'm with a personal trainer every day. I'm rehearsing every day. I want people to see this tour and go, 'Wow, that was something I didn't expect.' ''

The 'Never Say Never' hitmaker is taking inspiration from the late Michael Jackson in his preparations for the 'Believe' tour.

He added in an interview with USA Today newspaper: ''I've been watching videos of his concert tours over and over, he's my inspiration.

''When my team gets together, we're always asking, 'What would Michael do?' ''
