Justin Bieber doesn't like Justin Timberlake comparisons

In an interview with Mojo In The Morning, he said, "Man, that's crazy 'cause our voices sound nothing alike. I mean, I'm not trying to sound like anyone. Saying I sound like someone else is not really a compliment. ... I think if you were to say I heard some Justin Timberlake-esque things in your sound I would take that as a compliment.

"Justin Timberlake is definitely really talented and is similar because he's white and he's singing pop, R&B. I think we both have the type of edge. I definitely want to have my own lane and not be compared. But I think he is super, super-talented."

Another awkward moment occurred in the interview when the host, Mojo, asked if Bieber was worried that One Direction's Harry Styles would seduce his mother.

"I don't think you should worry about me — worry about your mom, bro," the Biebs said jokingly, before Mojo revealed that his mother was dead - and the phone line cut out altogether.
