He ain't half as Good as Jon B. IMHO.



the Babyface-soundalike?
well in that Industry One has to pay Dues&He was Signed to Babyface's Wife Traci's Yab Yum Records but the Cat is a Self-Contained One Man Band who wrote&Produced for other People.The Cat has Talent.Bootsy Collins was Down for Him on His First Album&it wasn't just Because Bootsy is Cool with Babyface either.Jon B. is a Very Talented Cat.



i'm sure he is. but writing Babyface-sounding songs, and singing them like Babyface doesn't really lend itself to long-term respectability and success.


you truly try to be so difficult with understanding things.Formula is what the Industry is Built off&the old if it ain't Broke don't try to fix it is the case there.the truth is Babyface was only really on his First Album the follow-Up Albums Sound More like Him.He was also in a No Win situation with Sony music as well but that is another subject&topic.


i'm not trying to be difficult. i just am. and i do understand things. formula may get you one-hit wonder status, or make you really hot for 6 months to a year, but how many artists with longevity in any genre have lasted when they were copying someone else? and if they got there by using someone else's formula, and then abandon it for their own thing and flop, perhaps they aren't that talented after all and people were only interested in the formula to begin with.
again Jon B. only did that with Babyface for One Album&Went on to Write&Produce for Others.if you understand the way the Business Works than you know Formula Sells when a Certain Sound is Dominant on Radio&is Selling Records.Jon B. has been around since 95 so He must be doing soemthing right? He has released 4 Albums&Worked with a Slew of Other Acts.if you wanna have a Legit Musical Disscussion feel free to send me a Message but if you are just Jiving then I ain't gonna so no more on this Subject.

Please doubt it!


c'mon-good music is flowing from the youngster...give credit where credit is due. He's not terribly original or anything, but good enough- - especially come from n'sync guy.

whatever-who cares what you all think

ugh!


He has nothing to do with the music! The Neptunes created the tracks for Michael Jackson - when he rejected them, they took off the guide vocal and put on Justin. I hate the bloke

i know all of this shit. all i'm saying is that he must not have been all that hot shit if his followup out from under Babyface's wing/formula flopped.


gawd. i can't believe i'm actually arguing the merits of Jon B's career lol

I agree that Jon B is head and shoulders above Justin. That's what pisses me off. Justin has been "anointed" as the next king of pop. Hell even Usher and Craig David have put out better shit than JT.

I like him! I HATED him when he was in N'Synch, but now I think he has some catchy tunes and they're good to dance to. A lot of it sounds like MJ but whatever. It's better than a lot of the crap out there now. I hope he never goes back to N'Sych.

Mike turned down the Neptunes stuff in late 99 through 2000.it's been sitting in the can a year&change before last year easily.MJ's "Invincible" Dropped in late 2001 so that means that the majority of the tracks on JT's Album were sitting around since late 99 through 00.about 2-3 years Prior to When Justin put it out.

Your right, "best" is relative but Maxxx brought up Jon B's name and I share his preference on this. smile

So it's "Young & hot" Vs. "Child molestor & pornographer". I thought this was a music board personally, at least IstenSzek has it in order and just wants to see photos of a man he finds attractive, instead of defending a "great artist". lol

I'm a big fan of Justin. I think he's a breath of fresh air in a very boring music scene. His album Justified is a damn good album PERIOD. It's one of my favorite albums right now and he's so fun to watch perform. You can tell he loves what he's doing and not once does he make the audience feel like shit for their sins. bored
Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council.

In your opinion neither are a "great artist", IMO one is, one isn't. You need to embrace R anyway he's so patriotic and supportive of US invasion based foreign policy, check out "Soldier's Heart", he's your brother in arms... biggrin
