Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber is being honored among some of music’s most prominent Black performers. On Tuesday, the baby-faced teen idol nabbed a Best New Artist nomination for next month’s BET Awards in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The annual awards show, sponsored by Black Entertainment Television, typically honors the accomplishments of entertainers of color, but officials describe Bieber — a former YouTube sensation discovered by “Confessions” star Usher — as a crossover artist with talent that transcends color lines. His latest album, My World 2.0<\/em>, debuted at No.1 on the Billboard charts in March.<\/p>\n

“Bieber has crossed the color boundaries the same way that hip-hop has crossed the boundaries the other way for a number of years,”<\/em> says Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programing and Specials. “He’s had rhythm in his music. He makes the type of music our audience likes.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The 2010 BET Awards, hosted by Queen Latifah, airs live from The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on June 27.<\/p>\n
