ask almost any performing musician on this board if they would like to work with blackwell, scott, wendy, lisa, or any other prince related band member (excluding tommy barbarella and tony m) and they will tell you yes. y'all are only treating justin differently because of who he is. period and you know it. ----- We are treating him different because he is ripping P off big time. Great to be influnenced by other artist but, get an original idea. Justin can't even come up with his own concept for his tour. most can't, including prince. that's why they hire set designers and tour directors, etc. | |

I think people are angry that he's using ex-memeber of Prince's band, becasue they dont like the type of PERSON Justin Timberlkae is, it's just another reason to hate him. That's why it bugs me, becasue he's a self-centered annoying asshole. | |

and prince isn't? don't get me wrong, prince has mad talent but he's the epitome of self centered and egotistical. i don't think talent gives you a license to be that way. | |

He hasn't aired his ex's girlfriend's dirty laundry out for the world to see. He doesnt go around dissing the people who he's been inspired by. [Edited 9/6/07 19:59pm] | |

[Edited 9/6/07 19:59pm] prince has treated his fans like idiots time and time again. how long does justin make his fans wait before coming on stage after the scheduled time? i met prince at his record release party at the fontaine bleu in miami back in 1999. his rave record was playing on repeat while he sat behind a black curtain. mind you, this was an industry event and not a public thing. later in the evening i spoke with him and larry. larry was very friendly and "normal" while prince was a total fool. when i told him i liked his record, his response was "you should pick up a copy."  not "thanks," not "glad you like it." no, just "you should pick up a copy."
the point is, prince has a history of being rude to people and totally inconsiderate. as for dirty laundry...wasn't it prince who all but forced his fans to deal with HIS record company problems? he handled his business very publicly and turned a lot of people off in the process. dissing people? prince disses people left and right. just because he doesn't diss his friends or inspirations doesn't make it ok to dis others.

"when I told Prince I liked his record,his response was "You should pick up a copy"
 that is sooooo Prince,isn't it?
Reminds of the incident during the Emancipation period.A fan saw him at a nightclub and said "I really like your new album".Prince replied "And your point would be what?" If I ever meet Prince,I'm not gonna give him any compliments.I'm afraid of the sarcastic response he might give  | |

No one wants to make Janet take any responsibilty - but that's a whole other thread. I'm not a fan of JT, but it's clear to me that people here bash him because he's white. Sure, he rips off many artists but don't most rip off someone else? | |

Many artists take something from an influence, but BRING SOMETHING OF THEIR OWN!!
Michael Jackson, Prince, & others borrowed from James brown & so many others but put their own stamp on the music...JT can't do that because his stuff is sampled soulless garbage for the most part. |

Give me a list of some white soul/ R&B pioneers & I'll list them. define "pioneer" because a few names come to mind immediately but whether they were pioneers is subjective to your definition. john lennon introduced soul stylings to the beatles who then put their own spin on soul/rock combo. david bowie's "young americans" is incredibly soulful and mixed soul and rock in a very unique way, not mention gave luther his start. dusty springfield was a big door opener for soul music in the uk. janis joplin was pretty much a soul singer and certainly left her mark in music history. but again, i suppose it would depend on what you consider "pioneering" to be. | |

That's because there are much more talented folks around yeah mostly black doing this RNB thing better than those two clowns and yet get no love whatsoever. Yeah race has a lot to do with it but not racist agendas. I don't have anything against JT for using Blackwell in fact I'm happy that the brotha is making a good living. | |

Every last person that you named grew up listening to Black performers and were influenced by them.Just because some white guys introduced a style (that they didn't create themselves) to the masses doesn't make them pioneers. Lennon & Bowie are rock pioneers I suppose, but did NOTHING to lay the groundwork for RHYTHM & BLUES/SOUL or BLUES Who do you think influenced John Lennon, David Bowie, and Janis Joplin? Come on now... Bessie Smith's influence on Janis Joplin is well noted. According to biographer Ellis Amburn, Joplin claimed that she had wanted to become a blues singer ever since Grant Lyons, a high-school friend, had loaned her records by Smith and Leadbelly (Amburn 22). Powell St. John--also a Texas friend, who wrote "Bye, Bye Baby"--recalls how shocked he was to hear Janis "singing like Bessie Smith, absolutely authentic" (Echols 114). In an early review of Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, written by Ed Denson for The Berkeley Barb, Denson refers to Joplin as a "blues wailer working material from Shirley & Lee back to Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, with the ability to scream and throw her body into the music" (Joplin 171). Joplin herself, referring to Smith, said: "She showed me the air and taught me how to fill it" (Amburn 22). Here's the tracklisting from John Lennon's Jukebox CD set (songs/artists that influenced him)..There are a few white artists in there...but they're seriously outnumbered...I'm just sayin' Disc one 1. "In the Midnight Hour" by Wilson Pickett 2. "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass 3. "The Tracks of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles 4. "My Girl" by Otis Redding 5. "1, 2, 3" by Len Barry 6.

I asked YOU to name some white SOUL & Rhythm & Blues Pioneers...You could not..You listed people who could be considered Rock pioneers (even that is questionable) and I showed you that the people that you named were influenced by ORIGINAL Blues, Jazz & Soul singers (who just happened to be...UH-Oh...Black). I don't dislike JT for being white...I just think he's OVERRATED & he's originated NOTHING. |

phunkdaddy said: sassybritches said: seems to me all that is beside the point. peeps are coming down on justin because he's using musicians who happened to work with prince and all i'm saying is there's a clear double standard. it's only because he's justin that people are complaining. I personally don't care whether he is using prince musicians or not. He still sucks live or on record or however you want to put it. He could use rick james stone city band and he will still sound like shit. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

I totally agree with every word u typed PAPAROBBIE  I watched his concert and his singing was as weak as the instruments he called himself playing. The stage set-up had Prince Influence written all over it as far as being original and innovative is out of the question. He will never EVER get 2 that level. NEVER |
