Get ready ladies because the Biebs is finally legal! That’s right, the Canadian singer turns the big 1-8 which reminds us just how young he really was when he first started capturing hearts. From that infamous hair flip to his voice, he’s had young girls, and let’s face it older women, coming down with pretty extreme cases of ‘Bieber Fever,’ but today all the swooning and giggling is finally OK. Well, not if you ask Selena Gomez, but that’s besides the point.

When we first heard about Justin he was a YouTube sensation who eventually caught the eyes and ears of Usher. As the years passed, and his career progressed, he’s turned into an undisputed pop star. But music isn’t the only thing he’s good at, he’s proved to be quite the good guy too. When he made headlines, yes headlines, for cutting his hair, he auctioned those cherished locks for charity. He raised awareness about organ donors, and the numbers soared. He even visited a six year old girl suffering from a rare type of brain cancer and caused a riot when he tweeted she was ‘Mrs. Bieber.’ Oh, and not to mention all of the awards he’s won and that movie. Seriously, we should never say never.

Even though he’s only been around for three years (crazy right?), he’s taken the world by storm. Although this past year he had a little drama of the baby mama kind, the Biebs took it in stride and has found love in the arms of Selena Gomez. And as a result caused millions of young hearts to break. So here’s to you Justin, for finally being legal, and to what this next year will bring!
