Jackson and Bieber both became international sensations when they were very young and the teen singer says the "Thriller" hitmaker helps him decide his career path, reported Contactmusic.
"A lot of teen stars didn't really work did they? So I'm doing my own thing. The only person I look at for guidance is Michael Jackson. I definitely look at his career when he was young and growing up in the spotlight. Career-wise I would say he's the biggest artist ever," he said.
Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. He died, aged 50, at his rented mansion in Los Angeles and the reason of death was cited as acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication.
