Selena Gomez, the "Slow Down" singer has several boyfriend rumors surrounding her. It appears that Austin Mahone may be winning favor with the former Disney Star, 21, after the "What About Love" crooner has drawn more comparisons to Justin Bieber.

According to SheKnows, 17-year-old Mahone's star is rising fast just like that of 19-year-old Bieber, who of course, won Gomez' affections.

Mahone has had a super-successful run in the music business so far. The crooner has nearly 4 million Facebook and Twitter followers each now. Though his fan base numbers are nowhere near Bieber's, the number of "Mahones" has grown more in a shorter period of time than Bieber's "Beliebers," according to the celebrity news site. 

Mahone, affectionally called "Baby Bieber," may even by the next prince of pop. The baby-faced singer just had a major performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards and won their "Artist to Watch" moonman.

Though both Bieber and Mahone have been successful in music, their friendships with Gomez have been the biggest comparison between them. For our first story on Mahone and Bieber's similarities, click HERE.
