" Seventeen was backstage at the Jingle Ball concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City last Friday night, where Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Owl City, Boys Like Girls, and the other hot artists of 2009 performed. Music reporter Annie of yousingiwrite.com snagged this interview with Justin just for seventeen.com readers!  Before Justin sang &amp;quot;One Less Lonely Girl&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;One Time&amp;quot; for the screaming crowd, he beatboxed for us behind-the-scenes, professed his love for Beyonc\u00E9 (multiple times!), and told us what he looks for in a girl. Seeing as he&amp;#039;s 15, we think you have a better shot at him than Beyonc\u00E9, so check out the revealing Q+A! Who is your favorite singer? Beyonc\u00E9. With all of your success, is there anything you&amp;#039;ve gone out and splurged on? Not really. I buy a lot of candy. What&amp;#039;s your New Year&amp;#039;s resolution?
