Kids R Us

Remember when teeny boppers were taking over the music scene? From the Immatures, Lil Bow Wows, Sammies and Lil Romeos, they were everywhere. Every little young teen was in love with these young and innocent heart throbs singing about crushes in their middle/high school cafeterias. Well it looks like the kids r us theme is making its way back onto the music scene and its starting with Jacob Latimore and Justin Bieber!

Jacob Latimore is an 11 year old sensation, who looks up to superstars like Usher and Michael Jackson. His father and uncles are the former soul quartet, The Latimore Brothers, so being musically inclined is running thru his genes. This Milwaukee native has been singing since the age of 3 and at the tender age of 9 years old, he recorded his first song, Best Friend. His mother, Latitia Taylor is his manager. Check him out:




Canadian 15 year old sensation, Justin Bieber is signed to Island, under RnB phenom, Usher. Bieber recently started his singing career at the age of 12, in Ontario, singing in local contests and shows. After awhile, he began to post his music on YouTube and that is where it all began. So So Def marketing exec, Scooter Braun, flew 13 year old Justin down to Atlanta, where he eventually met Usher. By October 2008, Bieber was officially signed to Island and started to work on his debut album, My World. His current single "One Time,' is one of his favorites off of the album, which he also has an official video for, featuring a cameo by Mr. Usher himself:
