From the archives: Justin Bieber's first video on Youtube

This is where it all started from: Justin Bieber singing So Sick by Ne-yo


From Buzzfeed's The 20 Most Important Online Videos Of All Time:

In early 2007, when he was just 12-years-old, Justin Bieber sang Ne-Yo's So Sick for a local singing competition, and his mother posted a video of the performance on YouTube. Although it was initially for their family and friends, she continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of his favorite R&B songs and he began to gain popularity and a decent-sized fan-base on the site throughout 2007. In 2008, talent manager Scooter Braun stumbled onto Bieber's videos and was immediately taken with him, tracking the kid down by identifying the theater he was performing in, contacting his school, and eventually speaking to his mother and becoming his manager. Bieber's first single was released in 2009. Whether you are a Belieber or now, the rest is history.
