Justin Bieber appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and this was all part of a birthday surprise for the beloved TV host. The Biebs brought Ellen flowers, and while she didn't exactly grill him during the quickie interview, he did have some interesting things to say about his upcoming Comedy Central roast -- and his nerves!

Of course, Ellen also pointed out that the first big interview Bieber ever did was on her show some 5 years ago, and the 20-year-old singer joked, "Honestly I haven’t been on TV in a while so I’m a little nervous." Biebs revealed that he gets anxious in front of crowds when he's not singing. Aww!

So why on earth would he let a room full of people mock him in front of a TV audience that will reach millions and millions of people? "I think it’s just cool to be able to laugh at yourself so. I’ve done some things. That might not of been the greatest," Justin said. "I just want to be able to ya know. And kind of just kind own up to some of the things."

And interestingly enough, just a few hours after that appearance was taped, Justin posted a video on Facebook, apologizing for his most recent antics. The pop star says:
    "I think I was nervous because I was afraid of what people are thinking about me right now. It’s been a minute since I’ve been in a public appearance, and I didn’t want to come off arrogant or conceited or basically how I’ve been acting the past year, year and a half. I’m not what I was pretending to be. Why I say I was pretending is often we pretend to be something we’re not as a cover up of what we’re truly feeling inside. And there was a lot of feelings going on in there. Just being young and growing up in this business is hard. Just growing up in general is hard."

    "I just felt awkward up there. I felt like people were judging me, and I really want people to know how much I care, how much I care about people, and how I’m not that person to say, 'I don’t give a f*ck,' you know? I’m not that kid, I’m a person who genuinely cares. And although what’s happened in the past has happened, I just want to make the best impression on people and be kind and loving and gentle and soft. And although people can call me a softie, that’s how my mom raised me."

Aww! We didn't think he came across as a jerk in his interview -- but he def seemed nervous! But maybe turn the phone sideways next time?
