Chris started recording his first album at 15 and Justin began at 14. Do you think these child-stars are similar?

Justin Bieber is Chris Brown‘s mini-me? Chris seems to think so! “He reminds me a lot of me when I was younger,” Chris says!

“I kind of try and be the big brother,” Chris adds. “And make him go the right way and have a great time.”

Chris, 21 has been out and about in NYC promoting his new album F.A.M.E — HollywoodLife.com spotted him at the Trump SoHo Hotel on March 17, where he stopped to take a picture with us!

Chris has teamed up with Justin, 17, already — on the song “Next To You.”

Let’s hope Chris has smartened up a bit and can point Justin in the right direction. When Chris was 19, he beat up his then-girlfriend Rihanna! She recently asked a court to drop a stay-away order against him so he can move on with his career.

In the career department — not the personal one — Justin seems to be following closely in Chris’ footsteps. But we hope he doesn’t imitate him in one important way. The Biebs has had his own hair problems lately. But he must stay away from  Chris’s dyed-blond look!

So BFFs — do you agree? Is Justin anything like Chris when he was younger? Tell us what you think.
