Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun recently compared the young pop superstar to legendary Bob Dylan.

Chatting with Billboard, Scooter noted on Justin's recent departures from his typical sound:

"It's like Bob Dylan: He p-ssed people off, but whenever he switched, he reinvented himself in a way that made him who he is today."

The manager subsequently explained via Twitter: "Thanks to social media, we can always speak for ourselves."

He added, "The comparison I made was regarding the risk Bob Dylan took by going outside of his career’s comfort zone and not being afraid of that change.

"Dylan's greatness and boldness in going electric is an example of how going against the grain can become one of your biggest and defining moments

"It was nothing beyond that. Isn't that what great men are for? I have no regrets in mentioning Dylan ... as I'm a fan ... have studied his history ... and have not only loved his music but have gained confidence and knowledge from his journey as a man and as a musician."

They're also alike in that they both have two arms and two legs. And they both sing

I don't recall Dylan being a complete wanker <_<
