REPHRASING :
Justin bieber has become a household name / a celebrity in just one year.Indeed one year ago he could not have predicted that at only 15 he would become known by everyone and that his career would be launched ( be launched = être lancé).Now he has loads of / lots of screaming fans.He has even collaborated wit Usher, another famous singer wo is extremely talented as well.
Like Justin , Usher started his career at a very early age .
In the past justin participated to a lot of musical contests but he was finally discovered thanks to youtube.
he comes from Canada and lives with his mother Patty who is also his manager ..She controls his career very closely and does not hesitate to cancel ( annuler) gigs / concerts if she feels there is too much pressure on his shoulders .

Negative consequences :
Justin Bieber is a star :
Therefore he can't do regular, normal things like shopping .
(donc)

Thus he couldn't study well and regularly.
(donc)

SO he has no privacy anymore/ no private life.

AS A CONSEQUENCE , he will lose his friends

CONSEQUENTLY , his singing voice might change

HENCE his change of character ( he might turn into a show-off)
