Usher says Justin Bieber's new material is 'sounding good'.

The R&B star tweeted his approval following a studio session with the teenage pop sensation.

The music producer famously discovered the Baby singer in 2008 and has been working with him on his next offering.

'Just left the studio with lil bro... soundin good. URIV [sic],' he wrote on the social networking site.

Justin also took to Twitter to discuss his upcoming musical offering.

The 18-year-old star seemed pleased with his recording session and paid tribute to his musical icon, the late Michael Jackson.

'a lot of good people in the studio tonight. been working hard. tomorrow morning #MjForever [sic],' he wrote.

Justin was joined at the studio by Australian singer Cody Simpson. The 14-year-old has been romantically linked to Kylie Jenner but has a massive female fan base nonetheless.

Cody revealed plans to collaborate with Justin.

'chilled with the mate @justinbieber in the studio tonight. look for some great records coming. #AustraliaToCanada #CoastToCoast [sic],' he tweeted.

Justin Bieber thinks many religious people are 'lost'.

The Canadian singer has been outspoken about his Christian beliefs throughout his career and recently got a large portrait of Jesus Christ etched on his calf.

The 17-year-old star insists he isn't as religious as many might think though and believes some practitioners take worship too far.

'A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church,' he told V magazine.

'I'm not trying to disrespect them... but for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him. I don't have to go to church.'

In a wide-ranging interview, Justin went on to compare himself to controversial boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. The athlete is viewed as the best boxer in the world by some and remains undefeated despite fighting 42 bouts. Justin has drawn parallels with his own career, especially as some fans are now waiting for Floyd to lose.

'Now that I'm on top, everyone wants to bring me down. Everyone's trying to tug at me and take my spot. Like Floyd Mayweather, he's the best boxer in the world. Now he is a champion. Every time he goes to a fight now, people are like, 'He's going to lose this time,'' Justin mused.

Floyd's personal life has been marred in controversy, with the boxer currently awaiting a 90 day stint in prison following a domestic violence case.

Justin Bieber has no plans to start singing about 'sex, drugs and swearing' anytime soon.

The clean-cut singer is happy with his image, even though he knows it might alter as he gets older. His interests are naturally changing now he is nearly 18 but he hopes to remain a good role model.

'People need to know I'm not a kid anymore, [but I don't feel] completely grown-up. I'm still learning,' he told V magazine.

'I'm not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace. I don't want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I'm into love, and maybe I'll get more into making love when I'm older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody.'

Justin is currently dating Selena Gomez, who he's been with for around a year.

The star also discussed his future career plans. He's happy with the way things are going but knows there is room for improvement.

'I want to be successful and be great at what I do. But eventually, I want to become the best at what I do,' he enthused. 'I want to be better than anybody who's ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can. Because for me, I work so hard and this consumes my life - it's not worth it if I'm not the best.'

Justin has spoken about how difficult being in the limelight is in the past. In the new interview he revealed he doesn't expect all music fans to like him, although he'd hope they would give him a chance.

'A lot of people say they hate Justin Bieber who haven't even listened to my music. They just hate the idea of me,' he said.
