Justin Bieber gets pressed over Timberlake comparisons

Justin Bieber thinks that “Boyfriend” sounds nothing like Justin Timberlake, and he gets upset if you state otherwise. It’s a bit like that time when Lady GaGa started crying and attacking the intellectually disabled when NME asked her why ”Born This Way” sounded like Madonna’s “Express Yourself”.

But back to the Biebz, the teen dream got pissy when confronted about the JT similarities in his music by the Mojo In The Morning radio show.

After JB reacted unfavorably to the comparisons, the host went on to made a crack about One Direction bangin’ Bieber’s momma. When Bieber retorted and told the host to worry about his own mum,  the host incredulously responded “Justin, my mum’s dead.”

Awkward.

Justin then hung up, and I don’t blame him. When the conversation turns to the corpse of somebody’s dead mother being gangbanged by a group of teenage boys (slight exaggeration) you know it’s time to go.

To sum it up: Bieber is a bit of a douche, but so is the host.

    I just listened to this a minute ago… and I have to say, Justin’s a bit of a douchebag. Waaaay too arrogant for someone his age. At this stage of his career he has nowhere to go but down and he’s doing to go down fast if he keeps this shit up.

    ur rite justin bieber that u guys sound NOTHIN alike .. justin timberlake can actually sing without pitch correction and doesnt sound like drowning cats live! lol i really tried to make myself like him cuz boyfriend sounds decent in clubs at 3am incredibly intoxicated but then i see him perform and im brought back down to reality .. he should of took the compliment and kept it moving if u asked me

    Poor guy thinks he’s a credible artist. Come back down to earth kid, you’re a manufactured pop act. Timberlake became Timberlake because he made his own music, he performed like hell, and the dude was a class act. You don’t make your own music, you can’t perform, and that was some real class by hanging up on an interviewer. Fifteen minutes are almost up kiddo

    I’m so fucking sick of the Timberlake comparisons. The reason is not that they’re inaccurate, but that they miss the point. Timberlake was actually incredibly fucking unoriginal; everything good about what he did was jacked from Prince and Michael Jackson. There’s nothing wrong with that — nothing at all; originality is overrated — but treating Timberlake like some sort of iconic innovator is just totally fucking ridiculous and the only reason he seems innovative to dumb pop blog commenters is because they’re mostly in their late teens and early 20s and Timberlake was the first time they were exposed to sounds like that.

    Also, people in middle school would say “My mom’s dead” as a response to Yo Momma jokes. I seriously doubt that the host’s mother is actually dead.

  • Alex K

    The dude was a class act? Yeah, like revealing things about his sex life with Britney to a radio host in order to get his song played (“oral magic”)? Give me a fucking break.

    Made his own music? No, sorry: The Neptunes and Timbaland made his music. You must be thinking of Michael Jackson, the artist Timberlake wishes he was.

    Bieber sings live and dances, and, despite some awkwardness, he’s getting better and better. He also can play several instruments (drums, piano, trumpet, guitar), unlike Justin Timberlake.

  • Vanity

    Gurrll you obviously never went to or watched justin timberlake’s concent..

    he can literally play every single instrument while dancing and singing much better than bieber.

    obv justin timberlake was influenced by mj and prince .. and so was 99.9 percent of every male pop/rnb star who has stepped foot on a stage or have done a two step .. difference with jt he actually could write music and perform the hell out of it (bieber hasnt even come close to a performance on his level) .. and @vanity was right i HIGHLY suggest u youtube some clips of justins last epic futuresex/lovesounds tour (btw that album was flawless and ahead of its time soundwise wen it came out back in 2006 which is why we are comparing a new young artist single to JTs sound of 6 YEARS AGO) he played everything AND managed to stay on key .. as for creating music hes written songs from other artists without timbaland or pharrell and if hav seen timbaland talk about JT he says how blown away he is by what that guy can do behind the mic as well as in front of it.. im not sayin hes a musical savior by any means but ppl like him, christina, beyonce, britney etc. whove been around for over a decade now deserve some respect and acknowledgement .. as i said youtube is powerful thing and if u just watch a few performances of each its laugable to put them in the same sentence at this point .. biebers got a looooong way to go

    That oral magic thing, I agree with you.

    But you’re ignorant to think The Neptunes and Timbaland made all his music. Timberlake wrote all of his stuff, but more importantly there is an artistic stamp in his music that elevates it beyond common Max Martin Top 40 tracks. It is the kind of pop music that has artistic value, the same way Madonna tracks are as much hers as it is her producers. (Whaddaya know? One of those producers was Timberlake himself.)

    Perhaps that artistic credibility wasn’t there when he was in *NSync. But he did come into his own as a solo artist and that couldn’t have been clearer on FutureSex/LoveSounds.

    Now as for him jacking MJ and Prince. That’s somewhat true. You could definitely hear traces of their music in there. But then most people didn’t immediately mistake it for an MJ record either, the same way people who heard Boyfriend on the radio immediately mistook it for a Timberlake song. It is one thing to be “unoriginal” and be inspired by other artists’ work; it’s another thing to blatantly rip it off.

    Finally, about this shit you’re saying about Timberlake not being able to play instruments. Go watch a video of FutureSex/LoveShow, pal.

    ROFL this was funny, Bieber is such a lil bitch… he likes to act like some grown man but always has little bitch fits like a maggot. I had to laugh he knew he jacked JT which is why he was desperately trying to distance himself and when he hung up and they were taking the piss out of him I was ROFL… *DEAD* at him calling 1D “kids” too… he looks like a 12 year olf lesbian.

  • http://twitter.com/StopItLuke Luke

    If Justin Timberlake is shit then Bieber is diarrhoea lol
    And although I don’t agree with some douche things JT has done, Bieber is a massive douche too and he’s like 1/3 of the age and has like 1/20 of the success.

    Proph, do a review for Bieber new album Believe. I did the review on Tumblr and her fans (oops! his fans) attacking me…

  • http://twitter.com/IsmanKamarul Kamarul Isman

    Timberlake can sing and dance at the same time, just look at his performance during FutureSex Tour. He can play all instrument that you say and Timberlake is better than Bieber on singing. Bieber sing like 98 year old lesbian who think he still 17. Do you watch Timberlake sing Hallelujah during Hope for Haiti?? He’s amazing.

    If you think Bieber sings live and those corny half twists constitute as dancing you are extremely delusional. Those are prerecorded vocals he is using. Justin doesn’t play the trumpet beyond making noise so you can drop that instrument off the list. Aight?

  • Greg M

    Uhmm, he sings live?…. oh, ok

  • Justin Timberlakes Babe

    are you fucking retarded? Justin is a talentless arrogant douchebag. Every interview shows this. He is famous because little girls think he is cute. And ‘stupid pop blog’? The one you’re commenting on right now? Contradicting, much? Cunt. Grow up and realize Timberlake will always be better than Boobier.

  • Justin Timberlake’s Babe

    6. Your body is shaped like a 12 year olds.
    7. Your fifteen minutes is almost up.

    9. Your as local as it gets.

    20. You’re talentless.

    Why you got to always take hits at Lady Gaga?

    My bad for not knowing that JT could play instruments.

    A couple of points to remember:

    1. When Timberlake did his tour for FutureSex/LoveSounds, he’d been performing professionally for over a decade. This is only Bieber’s third year in the industry. Assuming he’s able to stick around for another seven years, I think it’s reasonable to expect that he can reach Timberlake’s performance level. JT wasn’t as impressive in the mid-90s and he was in 2006-2007.

    2. If you people want to point to what producers have said, Darkchild worked with Bieber on most of the best songs on Believe, and he said that he thinks Bieber’s a truly special performer who could be one of the greats if he works for it.

    3. Justin Timberlake fought with Usher over who got to sign Bieber, so if you’re gonna praise Timberlake all day long, you should respect his judgment about who’s got talent and potential.

    4. Timberlake doubtless made real contributions to the songwriting, but you cannot make a serious evaluation of his work without recognizing the fact that he, like Nelly Furtado, was part of the mid-2000s Timbaland/Neptunes obsession. The songwriting is distinctly Timbaland; you can hear similarities in his other work in the same way you can with a Dr. Luke song, whether it’s for Katy Perry or Ke$ha.

  • Disk

    LOL. You are so pressed. Half of these apply to Justin Timberlake. You really don’t think Justin Timberlake doesn’t have his good looks, talented producers(his main bitch Timbaland) and exploiting his relationship with Britney Spears to thank for launching his career?

    And you can make fun of his body and small penis all you want because he dating super hot Selena. Who you dating?

    “To sum it up: Bieber is a bit of a douche, but so is the host”?
    More like Bieber: pressed little bitch and the Host kind of hero to show the realness of that bitch

  • Christian

    Lol for Justin to not see that “girlfriend” is a Timberlake clone is just absurd. It’s obviously exactly what he was going for, to do what Justin did to try and stay relevant. The whole thing: him, his career, his performances and his persona as an artist, it’s all a fucking joke. All the pop stars these days are so disposable. They’re just little carbon copies of the legends that came before them, only without the spark or originality or charisma that makes someone a star. Justin Bieber hasn’t delivered one original or worthwhile moment in his entire career. And yet the masses eat him up like cheap candy. Ugh.
