JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IS MORE TALENTED THAN PRINCE?

A funny thing happened to me at a restaurant when i was in line: I was in front of 5 middle teen and preteen girls and they were having a discussion about music and Justin Timberlake. I butted in the conversation and said " Have you young ladies ever heard of Prince?" One of the girls replied loudly "Justin Timberlake is way more talented than that Prince guy" Suddenly a older guy in the back replied "You girls are crazy, any person in his right mind knows for damn sure that Prince is more talented than Justin 5 times over to the tenth power!!" I laughed a bit and then asked the girls, "In what ways is Justin more talented than Prince?" the girls replied " Justin make cool videos, he's cute and he can dance better than the Prince guy"... the older guy replied "You girls are caught up in that MTV culture crap, Justin don't know nothing about music any more than you girls do, whenever Justin compose, write or arrange a song like when doves cry or Housequake then maybe, and i mean maybe i might take him seriously"...and then one of the girls said "Justin don't have to write, play and compose music to be a talented musician"..i laughed a bit and then walked away. Do these teenie boppers have any idea that if it wasn't for Prince there wouldn't be a Justin Timberlake?

Aaron says to say that yes, Justin Timberlake is much more talented than Prince... at starring in his sex fantasies and getting him off.

Teens are forcefed that most repulsive crap today... they are served the lowest form of entertainment and they buy it and buy it and buy it. One can hardly blame the record industry though... they are functioning as businessmen and businessmen only care about money, not art or talent.

Here are the lyrics to a song the Dead Kennedys wrote in 1984:

"M.T.V.-Get Off The Air"

Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb
Woof down the beer
[click!]
Hi
I'm your video DJ
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go

My job is to help destroy
What's left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage

So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll

How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

You've turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air
Get off the air

See the latest rejects from the muppet show
Wag their tits and their dicks
As they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn't care

M.T.V. Get off the air
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
It's wide open, anything can happen
But you've got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you're too god-damn conservative
To take real chances.

Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now

The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

M.T.V.-Get off the air!

it's funny because when i was on my home i turned on the radio and i heard this woman say that Justin Timberlake is a brilliant act...i nearly ran off the road laughing. What is up with people using the word "brilliant" when desribing every pop star?

Give them some time to grow up and grow out of it. When I was 10 I wasn't digging Bowie or Pink Floyd, etc...

When I grew up I did.

Justin Timberlake truly shouldn't even be Mentioned in the same Breath as Ricky Bell from New Edition Let alone Prince.Justin does a 4th Tier MJ&a 3rd Tier Bobby Brown&a 2nd tier Usher.Roll it all together&you have no Idenity.Justin can't even Hold Nelly's Band-Aid IMHO.

It's an outtake from Michael Jackson's "Invincible" album.
