Ne-yo admits that he's a Justin Bieber fan!

Justin Bieber sets teenage girls’ hearts racing all over the world, but now it seems the pint-sized singer can count US superstar Ne-Yo as a fan too.

Whilst not exactly in the grip of Bieber fever himself, Ne-Yo thinks that Justin is one to watch and they could even duet one day.

“It could be said that Justin Bieber is just a little cute guy who does his kiddie pop music and in a couple of years people are going to forget about him,” said Ne-Yo. “I don’t believe that, I think that kid has some real talent.”

The R & B star believes that as long as he has the right songs Justin will have a long career ahead of him.

“You have yet to see the best of Justin Bieber. He’s only 16, he’s getting better and better,” he added. “Watch out for that dude.”
