Justin Bieber "appreciates what happens to him."

The 17-year-old pop superstar ended his My World Tour last autumn.

The Wanted, an up-and-coming UK boy band that opened for Justin's October shows in Brazil, enjoyed spending time with the singer.

Although Justin has achieved incredible success, the star remained down to earth and declined to offer professional direction to the fledgling musicians.

"I think he's too humble for that, in that way. He's not someone that really gives advice, because I think he just appreciates what happens to him rather than thinks he's God," band member Max George told MTV News. "And so, I mean, we don't really talk music. When we speak to him, it's more we talk about football or basketball."

The Wanted are impressed by Justin's talents and they celebrate the star as an artist.

"I think he knows that we know how to do what we want to do in the same way that we could never tell him how to do what he does, 'cause he does it a lot better than we ever could," group member Jay McGuiness added.

Justin is currently working on his upcoming album Believe.
