The cd is a 5 out of 5

That MJ toe tip copy is some bullshit though. Id be embarrassed having to use another artist's iconic image instead of my own original idea(s)

I thought it was a reference to Elvis Presley

well it probably wouldbe if he were wearing a jailhouse outfit and such but he is wearing Off The Wall tuxedo and singing songs allin to Off The Wall disco rnb

we trying to act brand new now? oh

I thought it was more Frank Sinatra, almost tounge in cheek like the Lawrence Welk Show or some other variety show.

Cause you know anyone can sing, dance and act to some degree if your in the entertainment business. But charisma is what counts.

Plus MJ came out of the same entertainment business. So did JT.

They were both born from the same beast.

Neither one can stake claims to their styling, none of it's new.

It's all things other people have done or other people came up with to create an image.

MJ had the worst taste in furnishings, I remember watching him go shopping. Just terrible.

Imagine if he styled himself.

I agree but lets not try and satte that JT is tryig to cop MJ's 79 disco vibe

It aint Sinatra cause he isnt crooning Sinatra like standards vibe...he is doing disco rnb..

yeah MJ doesnt own the bow tie tux but if JT was doing Sinatra he would wear a porkpie hat

I cant believe there is any questioning this lol

Like I said I think its like Lawrence Welk/Carol Burnett Show montage.

That whole era of an entertainer being entertainment.

The band looks straight out of Lawrence Welk.

I love tequila, talking about it now makes me want to raid my liquor cabinet.

901 Tequila Review | Everyday Drinkers

i like mine aged on the rocks with fresh lime juice or grapefruit juice

Oh, I get it now. Trolling is the main thing.

Gotta love prince.org for the smart disucssion.

tequila now too

wow

if it JT were left to his white folks with no messican or black folks influneces or help he'd still be Mickey Mousing it

Elvis indeed..yeah that pic of Jailhouse Rock was SPOT on

Last week's sales projections for Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience had the singer moving over 750,000 units of his maritally focused new album. Now that estimate is looking conservative. Billboard have bumped the number up twice since, and are now predicting "950,000-plus" — considering they usually play it conservative, it's a fairly safe bet that JT is bringing platinum back.

If you read the New Yorker article they pretty much reference they styling how I did.

I don't care, I just think that MJ isn't the influence for every artist on the planet, niether is Prince.

I think the stylist know things about PR and would be very aware of this concidering the money invested grooming the image into a product.

It's a pretty decent disc if you go in open minded and leave your hate at the door.

The inside decoration of the main"NeverLand" house with the famous "Jesus Juice" was absolutely horrid. It looked clustered like a Junk yard...

Neither do I.

But answer this if you are so unbiased etc.

Do you think there are any MJ or Prince influneces in the music of 2020 and with FSLS?

Yes or no?

I guess, I think that those 'sounds' are so generalized across the board for music now.

To me Prince sounds like many of his peers when he was coming on the scene. ESG for example.

I think I hear Fela Kuti. And self admitted, Santana. I think there was one song I recall off of FSLS that sounded like MJ, but some of those songs were made for him, right? The stuff I have heard/seen thus far off of 20/20 doesn't remind me of either of them. When I heard Suit&Tie the first few occasions, I don't know why I thought of Toni Tony Tone. I almost peed cause I thought for a second it was Tony Toni Tone/RS. But I listened and I figured out it wasn't them, and actually I didn't know who it was, I lost interst after that. I think people are programmed by popular culture/media to default to only the things that they are exposed to.

[Edited 3/25/13 11:53am]

I just skimd through the album, sound like same old boring ass Timbaland shit.

Definately don't hear a MJ connection.

You can keep it, I'll go back to this:

Good article, and translation of the sound/image.

I got the Target version for the 2 bonus songs. I really dig "Dress On" and I think they should've made room for it on the regular album.
