the fact that it's supposed to be on yahoo but it isn't. we have faith in prince, doesn't mean he has to.

Honestly I don't even know why I'm trying to respond to you. It's clear your understanding of my statments have an another motive. However I'd like to point out that, and the clue in should have been the name, this is a Public Forum. Forums have been around for thousands of years. a Public Forum isn't a public event as to where the spotlight of attention is set upon a standardized event, rather it's an open soap box for anyone with something to say to do so at.

Please look up the term Forum.

If Prince had done such a behavior at a Public Forum, it would have been proper. However he did it at a public event in such a way assuming it was a public forum, and this might be because he spends too much time up on state and in internet fourms, rather then in the collective real world.

i think the prss has taken his comments out of context. prince wasn't eva refering JT's new song, i mean not that prince doesn't listen to timberland grooves, just i think that he was respondin to messages posted on the internet about his divorce . he was referring to mani and tamar. sexy never left. ok. that's my idea of prince.

clockwise said:

i think he was just making fun of the whole notion that JT actually thinks "he" was the one to take sexy back. That itself is egotistical on JT's part. but it's all silly fun to me. nothing to get all crazy about on Prince or on JT.

I can't believe how deeply some here seem to feel that comment...it's as if it had some impact on their lives or something.
Scratch that. I can believe it. I keep forgetting where I'm at.

He was having fun, like everyone is, with that phrase. It lends itself to fun and it asks to be made fun of. It seems some will look for any possible opening in anything Prince says or does to inject their personal issues with him.

The bright side is it's always the same few, and it's easy to skip over those names.

i don't have to hear it to know that prince said that. i was just wondering if they were playing sexyback at the emmy's.

Was that reply for me? I don't understand it.

One has freewill, PERIOD! He WAS on stage, the light of the public was on him!
"proper public behavior" WTF? as long as he ain't groping lil kids or exposing him self to old ladies or some shit wtf is "proper public behavior"?? Look in the mirror bub! YOU are making a fool of yourself(IMHO) through a statement that is uncalled for unwanted and uneeded. I swear between you and sacredwarrior I don't know who needs a mirror held up to them more every time they spew!

Savage said:

If it takes Justin to bring sexy back the world is in a sad sad state....

there's nothing sexy about jehovah witnesses.

It's TRUE! The need to bring "sexy back" is a figment of JT's imagination. I have no idea why he thinks he has the authority to bring it back when he ain't all that anyway!

just put the two of 'em in a room with mirrored walls. problem solved.

i think what they need to calm the fuck down is more along the lines of sugar walls

Maybe it's just me, but I see this as a completely innocuous comment, and I don't think it's a swipe at Justin at all. It was nothing more than a bravado swaggering joke of sorts. I think that if Stevie Wonder had penned the song “Sexyback” and not Timberlake, Prince would have made the same joke.

Kinda reminds me of all the comments about Prince taking swipes at Bono for the line "I love you too, but not the band," which was nothing more than a play-on-words joke and not a personal attack on Bono or U2.

For all of Prince's bemoaning the lack of real talent in popular music today, I imagine he has some bit of respect for Timberlake--who does write many of his own songs and can actually play instruments. This isn't to say that Timberlake is a musical genius anywhere near Prince's caliber, but Justin is certainly no less talented than the likes of Alicia Keys, Andre 3000, and Beyonce--all of whom Prince has showered with praise in recent interviews. So, I really think Prince has at least a small bit of respect for Justin and, yes, even Bono--even if he may not actually be a fan of their work.

It's just a joke folks. Loosen the sphincters, okay.

Kinda funny considering Justin's new album has several Prince-flavored tracks on it.

I believe it was Blaqueknight that said in another thread, "Sexiness never left... it just left him."

My reply was : "It didn't just leave him, it AVOIDED him completely".

This was all before Prince made the comment...

In my opinion Madonna kept the sexy flag waving and has never stopped.

Prince stopped being sexy whn he got into all that Jehovah witness jazz.

As for Timberlake ,...hes talented but doesnt have the eccentricity or boldness to bring sexy back.
I dont see what particularly overtly sexy in any of the tracks on his album. Its all standard hip-hop / R&B both on lyrics, production and imagery.
A crewcut with a Blues Brothers suit, is supposed to be sexy????



What a pathetic time for pop music.

It's so funny that some people are criticizing his statement. This is just a tongue-in-cheek Prince boast and JT is most likely overjoyed that one of his idols treats him like competition. The namecheck alone must have put a smile from here to there on that cute mug of his. Next young JT will probably ask his agent if James Brown could be persuaded to do the same.
