Right on! Finally someone being honest...
Was JCs solo album any good? I always liked his voice, but
his lead single from his solo stuff was awful.

alphastreet said:

Exactly, Janet fills a void, that Paula Abdul later also filled. However, JT just straight up copies people. There isn't a need for copy cats. That is why in ten years, all these people who are being marked as "AMAZING" will be a distant memory. I hope the next generation of "stars" brings the originality.

People who claim MJ and Prince weren't orignal in their early days are full of shit. Put on a Jacksons concert from back in the day, Pre-Thriller, and compare that to Justin's early work. You will see MJ doing shit HE CAME UP WITH. Where as, Justin had to have a dance instructor, and copy his influences.

When people say Justin is original, I just wanna bop them!

Exactly; nice to hear from someone with sense.

Vanilli said:

who the fuck said he's original? I wanna smack them LOL they just think he is cause his voice is what they consider pretty.

And the funny thing is, even when janet was doing her own thing, I couldn't hate on paula, jody and karyn for doing the same thing as her, or very similar to her, they were all their own person through it all and exceptionally awesome at what they did with that talent.

I said the SHOW was original, not Justin himself. He is far from original. But compared to any other shows I have seen, Justin's show was original. (The set up, production, etc)

marnifrances said:

My bad, but one last time for the record, Justin isn't original. Just so there isn't any confusion.

Soul-less Crap

oh yeah and Michael Jackson called and wants his moves back from 1984... - EDIT

Its a good thing James Brown and Little Richard did not demand Prince give them their moves and looks back from the 50's and 60's. ...

Little Richard demanded it from everyone.





There's a difference of being heavily influence and pretty much directly lifting from another artist.

Justified - Michael Jackson...from the look and everything

Future whatever - Prince/Minneapolis period....oh and lets get some of the same musicians to tour with him....


and yeah...prince had Maceo....that's not about mimicking though....musicianship.

he surrounded himself with quality musicians (mike scott, j blackwell) some pretty good back up singers and some adequate dancers. he can even play a coupla keys on the piano and hit the basic chords on the guitar.

after watching the dvd, i must say...this was one of the best complete concerts i've seen other than prince in quite a while (and i've seen quite a few).

Rhondab said:

He was channeling JB long before Maceo came on board .....

Etorres said:

But his music wasn't a direct lift from JB.....don't recall anything Jb did sounding like Sister.

Everyone has an influence and may even borrow this or that...but JT just isn't an original in regards to anything he's doing.

At least Prince has is own thing, even with borrowing from JB and others.

Really?



Not seeing much sloppiness there. Remember, robotic "popping" moves are what's in today.


Anyway, I thought this DVD was great, i just fast forwarded whenever he spoke

Rhondab said:

Maybe not music ...but his performances sure were.Espacially post Dirty Mind era ....Thanks for your input though

Etorres said:

at the dismissal....

yeah...thanks!

You know you're arguing with someone who has Milli Vanilli in their avatar, right??? And they're not using it ironically.

You can call Justin a poser and a puppet, but anyone bigging up Rob & Fab, the ultimate posers and puppets shouldn't be able to talk. At least we know for sure that it's Justin's voice we're hearing on the album.

I think the kid (who's 3 years older than me) puts on a pretty damn good show. He has top notch musicians, singers, and dancers backing him up, and that gives him some credibility in my eyes.

THIS IS A JOKE, RIGHT?

I don't get it. You said...


Then you said...

You assessed it with pretty much mediocre praise then say it's one of the best you've seen in a while? I'm not knocking the show - I've never seen a JT performance - I just don't understand how that all adds up to a great show.

No he's not..

let's keep doing this since you're the grown here

He's good at imitation. He's a better and more improved Pat Boone.

Sorry, those moves are kind of weak. Chris Brown and 'em would be ALL OVER that.
