that being said, I bought Justified, but not FutureSex. I dig a lot of the songs on the former, but what I've heard from the latter, the album cover's the best thing about it.

“I despise what they do. They create soap operas out of people’s lives.

oh LORD

I always knew he was a fake.

And while this is irrelevant, I really need to express that he is NOT CUTE. Not even a little bit and his facial hair makes his face dirty.

Okay. There. I’ve said it. Shallow, I know but like a fart, I just had to let it out.

I remember when his CD ('FutureSex' whatever) first came out,there were alot of folks on this site acting like it was the greatest album ever,acting as if Justin was the guy who could bring the excitement back to pop music.Now,several months later,everybody seems to agree that he is a creep What a difference a few months makes.I always knew he was a fake.

A lot of listener's perspectives are based in their own times. People coming up now are sure to believe in Timbaland/JT's "genius" because there's little else being marketed that compares. Time will put their accomplishments, such as they are, in perspective. Timbaland's innovative, for his time. But put him in perspective. JT's the hot entertainer for his time, but put him in perspective.

Hell, in the 70's, they were prolly saying the same thing about Leo Sayer and Andy Gibb. Not putting them down, but still.

I think the difference was that "Leo Sayer and Andy Gibb" werent on the TV shows of the day saying they used me for ratings, i didnt have to read about Andy Gibb and his ego, its not so much the times have changed, people have changed.

Andy Gibb circa 2007 would have been in a similar situation. JT circa 1977 would rock the Farrah Fawcett and sing disco ballads.

Calhoun, you've got my husband wondering what the hell is wrong with me back here on this computer . . .

The thing was Andy in his era was original at least he wasnt taking from previous and then knocking who he was taking from, Justin is clearly influenced by Michael,Prince etc..but instead of praising it he knocks it.

"on the world's tiniest violin i am playing 'cry me a river'"

anyone sick and tired of hearing millionaires bitch and moan about being rich and famous?

Tessa said:

TOTALLY!

Especially the ones that bitch about being followed around by paparazi and shit. Here's an idea...

MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF LA!

It kills me that the same fucks that bitch about being followed around..continue to eat at places like the Ivy where they are basically asking for it. I've eaten at the Ivy (work lunch..would never step foot otherwise)...the food aint that great y'all...and for a $25 salad...I'd rather buy 25 salads at McDonalds!!!!!

peace

i've got a better idea. quit and get a real job and come out here and bust your hump like the rest of us for a living.

From the new Details mag....this dude is just full of it...and he also takes credit for the Grammy's being up 18% in viewership..



On the tabloids: “I despise what they do. They create soap operas out of people’s lives. [Cameron and I] had our thing, and it’s over. They edit that stuff like MTV edits reality shows. It’s a spin game, and I choose not to take part in it.”

On being considered the New King of Pop: “I tried so hard to be an R&B artist [with first solo album Justified] and it was the pop album of the year, and I was like, ‘F***. That’s the last thing I wanted but I was like, ‘So everyone considers me a pop artist? Well, fuck it. I’m going to do whatever I want to do.”

On surviving the boy-band apocalypse and becoming a man: “I could give you a bunch of analogies about why I’m still around that would sound like hippie self-help bullshit. ‘I saw an opportunity and I took it?’ Fuck you. Sure, there’s a lot of luck involved. But on some level I have to believe in my ability. And I’m not apologizing to anyone. I worked fucking hard to get here.”

On being used by the Grammys for ratings: “I’m the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to. But I don’t know if I’ll be going through that sort of thing again. I feel like the Grammys used me for ratings. And look at it-they were up 18 percent.”

Exactly! I was one of the people who was saying over and over that the album was just OK, i didnt own it, but i had heard the whole thing and there wasnt anything special, well of course people jumped right on that saying it was, it was genius, timbaland was a visionary, that Nellys "loose" and JT's record were the best thing. To me Britney's "In the Zone" album was a million times better

I still think Justin's record is really good, I still think Nelly Furtado's is even better, and I much prefer them over In the Zone. Different strokes and all...
