Whoa! Puberty is definitely over for Justin Bieber! Listen to how grown up he sounds!

The Biebs performed Matchbox 20's 3 AM in honor of his vocal coach Jan Smith, who received the Chairman's Award at the 2011 Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards Saturday night.

Honoring Jan's other students, whom she also has mentored, Justin not only covered Rob Thomas, but also Usher's Bad.

Very cool! Sounding good, Justin!

Such a shame!

As a result of budget cuts and low attendance, the Georgia Music Hall of Fame will be closing next month.

The memorabilia will be moved to the University of Georgia, as well as other state colleges, but the state's museum will be NO MORE after June 12.

Here's what the museum's executive director Lisa Love had to say about it:

"Locally, the people are heartbroken."

Between the Georgia Music Hall of Fame closing, the NYC Opera in danger of closing, and the struggling Philadephia Orchestra, it's tough times for landmark/historical music-related venues in this country.

Very sad…
