George Michael and Hall & Oates are about the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. Eminem was great but he's not #1. Rock was basically Blues but with a white guy behind it SAYING it was rock in the 50's. AFter the 50's, it changed into something else that few black folks really had much to do with at all. Besides, white folks don't complain when black folks come in and dominate the sports they invented do they? Just my 2 cents. Don't forget about Michael McDonald, Teena Marie, and Lisa Stansfield.

Still in all, comparing Justin to Prince or even Robin is still a waste.  Oh, it's okay. I just watched the end of the Grammys and saw JT playing guitar, so I had to stick up for him. He wasn't amazing at it or anything...decent at the most. I agree with you that comparing Justin and Robin to Prince is a waste of time and also quite a stretch.  Prince Rogers Nelson

Justin looks goofy as hell and uncomfortable playing both the keyboards and the guitar Yeah, when I was watching his guitar performance at the Grammys, the first image that jumped into my head was when I saw Madonna playing guitar on her past tour.
