Austin Mahone News: ‘Obnoxious’ Justin Bieber Comparisons Start To Bother ‘Secret’ Singer? [VIDEO]
Despite collaborating with Justin Bieber, Austin Mahone is sick of people comparing the two singers. Although Mahone considers Bieber a friend, he thinks people who relate the two need to take a listen to his actual music.
Is Austin Mahone Under Too Much Pressure?
"I can kind of see where they're coming from, but at the same time, it's kind of obnoxious," Mahone told The Associated Press about the Bieber comparisons. "They see a young kid who sings and dances and ... they're like, 'Oh another Justin Bieber.' Like, you don't even know. You don't know me. You don't know my music. You're just making assumptions."
Mahone did record a song with Bieber, but it hasn't been released yet. "Right now, I'm not sure," Mahone told E! News. "We recorded a track together but I'm not sure if that'll come out at all. But if it does, that'll be next year. We worked well in the studio."
What Does Austin Mahone Want In A Girlfriend?
Mahone recently released his new EP entitled The Secret to massive fanfare. The new album even went number one on iTunes when it was released. "It was the best feeling ever. Yeah, I'm happy," Mahone shared. The album also came in at number five on the Billboard 200.
Mahone just performed at the Atlanta Braves game and last night at Game One of the NBA Finals in San Antonio.
"I may not be the best dancer or the best performer right now, but I'm always getting better," Mahone said. "Next year I'll be even better than I am now. And the year after that, I'll just keep getting better." Mahone is going on a tour this summer and also revealed that he hopes to have a full-length disc come out around November 2014.
