Oh purrrrllleeeeaaazzzeee! No way. Prince's moves were all HIS OWN. JT is very talented but his moves are not unique!

yes...i am sure Prince simulating writing things down and brushing his teeth is ground breaking dancing.

JT dances circles around Prince.

Sacrilege!

They shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence....delete, delete delete......

In 2007 JT took a cheap shot at Prince

Justin Timberlake mocked Prince at the Golden Globes, crouching down to accept an award on his behalf, poking fun at Prince's height. Not funny, but keep putting your foot in it.

Timberlake

Did he seriously do that? Does anyone have a vid of this?

YES. It was an amazingly tacky thing to do.

I remember seeing and thinking WTF? Seriously? Is this supposed to pass as humor?

It was just tacky.

Now don't get me wrong. I like to make fun of Prince.

But there's a time and a place for making fun of Prince.

You' hate on and make fun of Prince here on the org--not at an event like that.

After Prince made the comment about "Sexy never left"

JT came out with a song “Give it to Me" that some say was a diss at prince

Could you speak up and stop mumbling
I dont think you're even clear
When you're sitting on the top
it's hard to hear you from way up there.
I saw you tryin to act cute on TV
"Just let me clear the air."
We missed you on the charts last week
Damn that's right, you wasn't there

Now if sexy never left
then why is everybody on my shitt
Don't hate on me just because
you didn't come up with it
So if you see us in the club
go on and walk the other way
Cause our run will never be over
not at least until we say

Mumbling, acting cute sounds like hes talking about Prince

Who knows

I remember that.

The first time I heard those lyrics I immediately jumped on here (the Org) to see if it had been discussed already.

There is no performer like Prince and he is always going to be my No. 1 - but I did see JT when he came to Australia a few years ago and have to admit he was excellent. His vocals, piano playing and performance was excellent. I was really surprised by his talent and think he is also a great actor. I like him - but think his new song sux big time - but that is only one song, I hope he does more good things in time to come.

But of course, as I said Prince is always the best in my eyes, but I felt with JT concert I got every cent I paid for from his concert.

Justin may try be Prince artistic-wise in any aspect of Prince's work, but thing is it's IMPOSSIBLE to compare them. JT must have 0,001% of the Prince's talent level. Prince is to be compared to popular music greatests, any other comparison is senseless.

Now, if JT really aimed this Give it to me "diss" on Prince, argumenting with chart and selling things, it only shows he's a lost-case incurable idiot. I mean, if he thinks he can mock Prince and believes to be in the same level... Jesus. Somebody help this poor young man.
