Hi guys,

I was just listening to Michael Jackson's Why you wanna trip on me (Dangerous ALbum) when i realized that Justin Timberlake's Like I love you sounds so much like it. Maybe its just me, but if you listen to the beginning part of both of them, they are so much alike. Ofcourse, not identical, but stylistically speaking I can see the similarities!:D....what do you guys think?
 
Jesus...............just discuss the topic! I knew what this thread would be like as soon as I saw it.

Put your personal opinions about Justin Timberlake aside and just discuss the topic.........
 
haha...guys i didnt mean to offend any one by mentioning JT's name......alot of artists are influenced by MJ.......just like MJ was influenced by alot of other artists..........i am not comparing MJ to JT. Just talking abt musical similarities...obv since Jt came much later....it just shows how his music was influenced by MJ.......
 
Justin and Michael have both proved that you CAN come from a musical group and then make a big name for yourself as a solo artist. So in a way they are both a little alike, I think it's great that Justin can look up to Michael. Everyone has their own musical influence, people who they want to be like in a unique way. Like Michael to James Brown Justin Timberlake to Michael.

The 30th thing was FUNNY though, Justin dancing/acting like Micheal Jackson NEXT to Michael Jackson everytime I see that I just laugh.

@ lukidbean...
jesus i dont think i was off topic. :lol:
I cant see any similarities between mj and justin.
but its no doubt justin tries 2 be like him. so does usher and etc.
this is a forum where u can state ur opinion anywhere u like
(as the poster asked.."what do you guys think")
now its you who's off-topic...:)lol.
 
The only JT song that reminds me of Michael is "Rock Your Body", other than that...No. I don't see any similarities between the two musically speaking AT ALL.

I can definitely hear some similarities in their style of music. I cant really hear it in the two songs that u mentioned tho. And yeah, maybe JT tries to imitate MJ's sounds, but u cant blame the guy for trying lol. Imitation is the highest form of flattery after all :toofunny:
