In early 2007, when he was twelve, Bieber sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick" for a local singing competition in Stratford and placed second in the competition. Mallette posted a video of the performance on YouTube for their family and friends to see. She continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of many R&B songs, and Bieber grew on the site.

In April of 2009, singer Usher invited Bieber to perform at a lunch in front of a number of music recorders in Los Angeles. Usher announced that the 15-year-old was a great kid for him at Def Jam Island, and called Bieber a "young phenomenon".
That's really really great.
