Timberlake can never take MJ's place, nor can any other artist. That mold is broken.

I think this is the official end of this convo.

Aw c'mon - not you too.

Look - to claim that Justin Timberlake's talent and musical offerings are commensurate

with Michael Jackson is premature.

But you cannot hate a dude for trying or for being influenced. What is a male R&B/pop

star in 2013 supposed to do? Not be influenced by Michael Jackson?

One thing that really gets me about him is that he hasn't really CHANGED anything in the music industry. Legends set trends, they move their art form forward, they're DISTINCTIVE. There's nothing distinctive about JT -- if you were to impersonate him without actually playing one of his songs, the only way anyone would know who you were imitating would be if you walked around with a dick in a box. Which, fair enough, means he has something of a legacy as an actor, but as a musician/performer? Get the fuck out. Besides that, he sings through his fucking nose, he copies dance moves rather than innovates, he rips off Prince's style and then has the gall to mock his height. (And seriously, if he thought Prince's SexyBack comment was meant to insult him...that was pretty mild. You KNOW when Prince has an issue with you!) I've seen much better talent and more class than him at high school talent shows. (But oh yeah, those were predominantly black high schools, so God forbid those kids get any credit for their hard work and talent.)

Also, to the person who said he has co-writing credits on every single one of his songs, that doesn't really mean much nowadays. Artists get their names put on their songs for business reasons. It doesn't necessarily mean he didn't help write all those songs, but I would doubt it -- the mere fact that he's on ALL of them raises my suspicions; even the most involved artists usually have one or two songs they didn't contribute to. My guess would be he contributes to most of his stuff, but not all of it. Also, there's nothing wrong with ocassionally letting somebody else write your music. Particularly for somebody like JT who's clearly not a terribly great songwriter, it might be a good idea for him to hand the reins over now and then. Also, by picking a songwriter or song that suits him particularly well he could show a knowledge of music (and humility) that he really hasn't shown thus far.

well that the whole industry cause Vadge, Janet, Brit Brit, and Beyone do the same thing.

as my favorite PSB once said. "Change a word, claim a third."

so dont get pissed off when someone you dont like is sucking the same tit as your wanna be divas.

Beyonce steals writing credits.

Brittany is not a songwriter but doesnt steal credits. So her credits are probably because of minor reasons such as switching words around.

Janet is a lyrist and is involved in her songwriting process so lumping her with the other two is not fair.

Janet is more gifted than peeps give her credit for. She was writing & playing instruments on her muziq before Justin or Beyonce was even out of the wombs. Not to mention opening doors for both of them to do what they are doing today. She is a living multi billionaire icon now...

People really have a problem with him. Just have a problem with his quality control personally and the fact that Suits is the only newer tune out right now that moves me (other than the awesome Atoms for Peace offering and until 3rdEye gets their proverbial thang together and hit us off something breezy and shining).

JT ain't no talented

I respect his music and efforts to bring some good R&B

but he sucks when it comes to LIVE shows.
