Justin Timberlake On Michael Jackson: He ‘Was The Baddest!’
Listen to any Justin Timberlake song or look at any of his videos, and it is clear that the singer has been heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, who passed away on Thursday. Not only has Timberlake been influenced by him, but he has also had the honor of performing with him.
Timberlake reflected on the times — like when Jackson performed with ‘NSYNC at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards — he shared with the pop legend.
“The thing about Michael is the memories,” he told MTV U.K. “I’m lucky enough to have memories — actually, physically — with him onstage and off.”
Timberlake went on to describe the outpouring of emotion for Jackson from friends and fans a “testament to how big a deal it is, obviously, because he’s created so many cultural photos in people’s minds with his music that he was and always will be the king of pop.
“To create the things that he created with his music is untouchable. He opened the minds of the world to be able to do that through his music… [it's] a feat not accomplished by many people, maybe only a handful of people. I don’t think anyone ever did it like him.
He went on to echo a statement he made late last week about Jackson, saying, “He opened the minds of people about music. He opened the minds of people about culture. Even if it was this much in your conscious, he helped with segregation. His music did that and not a lot of people can say that. Michael was the baddest!”

Lilo’s crack tweets vs Justin Timberlake?
A couple of weeks ago, Lindsay Lohan and Justin Timberlake were at the same club in New York and Pip was drunk and supposedly all over some girl and Lilo tweeted about him and called him a cheater. Or something.
Then she denied it saying she’d been hacked.
Hacked for her is code for cranked up and tweaking.
And now she’s at it again (thanks Melissa!). She tweeted this week at Colette. One of the best places to shop in Paris. Lilo’s tweet was in response to this Colette post – click here for the Colette Twitter: “Justin Timberlake’s William Rast collection now at colette! Mix it with Balmain”
About an hour later, Lilo tweeted this in response – her Twitter is here:
“i can’t believe you are lowering yourselves to a MACY’S brand- i am speechless. Paris is chic not mid America. gross”
Amazing, right?
She just called JT’s clothing line a “MACY’s” brand. And described it as gross. And low classy. And middle America is not chic.
I f-cking love it. Celebrities talking smack on Twitter, I f-cking love it.
Please Pippy. Please don’t take the high road. Please trash her back. Please, please, please!
Here’s a skanky Lindsay leaving a hair salon yesterday. Ease up on the bronzer, bitch.
As for that 5 change birthday party in Vegas last weekend word is she was paid $70,000 for it. Page Six reports that she’s so broke ass she jumped at the chance for a paid party with total strangers (none of her friends were present) at MGM so that she could take care of some bills.
Lilo’s now back in LA and will be raging every night until Sunday. Or longer. It’s not like she has a job, right?
Oh but wait… according to Lindsay, she works harder than anybody she knows. Does she work harder than anyone YOU know?
^ why do you have a problem with me
Just an FYI for everyone. Ellen’s show is a repeat of one of Justin’s visits to the show this Friday, 7/3/09, (according to the commercials on TV). It’s the show where he surprises Taylor Swift.
lilo’s opinion doesn’t change anything lol
