I know JT is hot right now but that dude can't fuck with Prince. Prince has been in the game too long. JT needs to take his boy band ass and shut up. One good song off a CD isn't going to cut it at all. Put out some more hits before you start talking trash about hits. Nelly Furtado shouldn't even speak at all. She down right sucks!

Prince is a jealous bitch since he hasn't had a hit since Justin was in diapers. If his ego is as big as his donk I'd be really surprised!

Oh please, Prince wins hands down every time. Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret, Little Red Corvette, etc. etc. etc. Let's see - Apollonia, Vanity, Sheena Easton, Kim Basinger, et al. JT has Britney Spears & Cameron Diaz. Again, no comparison. Songs, women, and hey JT - he beats you in the dance category too!

Well I could give a damn about the women, but Justin Timberlake, when you have an iota of success as Prince, the awards, accolades, recognition AND longevity, then you can make a diss record with Nelly Furtado.

Justin's talent is no where in the same universe as Prince... and as far as sexy, Prince is the epitome of it all by himself and he knows it.

But, the best part, is that Prince knows real Music - and brings it every time he performs.

Let's see where Justin is at 48 years old, odds are that it won't be at legend status.

so, you mean to tell me that justin's song, "dick in a box" isnt something that will have an eternal appeal?
wow, because i remember very vividly the first time i heard "dick in a box". it was one of the most profound moments in my life. i laughed so hard that my dog farted and howled and then proceeded to give me the wonky what the hell is my problem eye.
personally, i know what will resolve this prince/justin t connundrum. both of them need to to do a duet. yes, both of them need to sing the Man Love song from the tv show scrubs. let them show their man love for each other and exchange presents. a D in a B makes piddly daddy comber look even more talentless.
bla bla

Well lets see.. on one hand we have a former lip syncing boy band mouseketeer and on the other we have a musician
who writes his own music, plays several instruments dances (in high heeled shoes no less!)
sings and produces his own music ( and who has produced hits for several artists including Stevie Nicks, Chaka Khan and Sinead o'Conner???) during a career that has spanned nearly three decades.

Uh.. no contest?

Forgot to add Prince sells CDs and music and sells out shows with virtually no air play on traditional radio.

Do you think Miss Timberlake would sell as many CD if her songs weren't played on the radio every five seconds.

* cough*

payola!

Ps. JT and Miss Futrado owe their success to Timberland,
a black producer who got his start producing hits in the 90s for Aailyah and Missy Elliot.

Justin is nothing to compair Prince.I don't like JT's music or moves nothing special to me at all...

They're generations apart. Prince is old enough to be Justin's dad. Plus they have totally different audiences. Prince was never my cup of tea, and I can't even name a song Justin sings.

JT needs to sit the heck down and stfu!

That song is NOT about Prince. It's about Janet Jackson and what happened after the "wardrobe malfunction."

I don't like JT or Prince's music, but I would agree that Prince has more talent, although I think his style is totally obsolete by now, and hence no airplay. Prince should be sitting back with his million$ and ignoring JT. Also, JT doesn't just copy him; he copies Michael Jackson's gross dancing, for example.

Justin ought to keep his lisping to himself. He sounds more like a jealous ex-lover.
Ho....................mo.

Janet, Prince owns the damn court - JT is just a visitor.

Since when did Justin become sexy anyway?? Like you all are saying, he's a lip syncing fake. Prince was & is so cool. That joke about Prince (JT bending down to accept Princes' award) deserves Justina a kick in the ass.

Justin's sex appeal is completely lost on this gay man. He gives white bread a bad name.

I think they both suck. It's like trying to decide who is sexier - Gumby or Poky.

Neither one of them do a thing for me - musically, physically or otherwise.

Lats see princes last hit single was?His last hit c.d. was? Oh ya thats right 20 YEARS AGO!Purple Dwarf had his time in the spotlight and now that hes an oldies act playing in vegas its gotta kill to see someone much younger selling what you USED to.

Prince is as over as a furbee.

Whoever sells the most records, I´d prefer Prince over Justin ANYDAY!

JT grew up listening to MJ and Prince. But, come on, JT is the real deal and will be around for awhile. Prince started ish just to start something. His Purpleness needs to learn how to play a little bit better in the sand box. It's been awhile since he has had commerical success with an album.

Prince is so damn feminine but he's so sexy I'd still do him. Justin is a silly kid.

You couldn't drag me to a J.T. gig. lol
On the other hand.
Prince's show will wow ya out!! Obscenely talented!
A freakin guitar god!!!

Prince is a jealous bitch since he hasn't had a hit since JT was in diapers!

the real tragedy here is that prince would be angry with you people for bringing the hate....i have been a fan of prince for over 30 years and a fan of justin's for about four or five years....i feel that justin admires and respects prince and styles some of his songs as an homage, not as a ripoff.....this "feud" is being orchestrated by a media that loves to find fault and start trouble.....artists are artists.....and as prince would say, get on the boat, people!!!!

Doesn't Prince market and distribute his own music? And doesn't he sell out performances wherever he goes? He's over like a furbee? That's why everyone was at his Golden Globes afterparty. Justin selling tons of records NOW is a temporary thing, trust. Teenagers and twenty something chicks eventually grow older and develop taste.

How can a Loser compare his self with a WINNER !!!!

I didn't know Justin Timberlake was a musician ! Thought he was just a singer/dancer ! When he can play HALF of the instruments that Prince can HALF as well - then he could do a diss song with that dopey N. Furtado

Justin Timberwood is a pussy!! Prince owns him...

LOL! Prince looks like he should be down on santa monica Blvd this Halloween! He is a freak show, and whats up with him and his drag clothes? I dont know why anyone would think that Prince is sexy, YUCK!

Prince look like a Puerto Rican woman!

Prince is O.V.E.R.Playing in Vegas,Buffet and prince,Yum.He hasnt had a hit cd or single in YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARS.He is a relic from the past,a golden oldie that hasnt mattered in years.His so called after grammy party was filled with lindsay lohan and paris hilton,enough said......Oh No!

I LOVE JT's song Dance with Me.

who cares about prince? hes just some old fart from years gone by.My mom likes prince.soccer mom music.

Hey Janet, I heard that diss song was there to diss Janet Jackson. Not true?

hey now, prince was the man slut of his day. Prince is the big granddaddy slut. when his songs first came out in the 80's a number of the songs couldnt get air time because of the sluttiness and risque lyrics.
little richard hates prince because he totally ripped off richard's gig. haha
would someone please tell justin ( as a friend) that copying michael jackson is a bad idea. how come talented white kids feel the need to pretend that theyre black?
justin needs a new hero/mentor.

justin, please grow out your hair a little. you look cuter with more hair.

goddammit prince, give me my goddamn blouse back!!!

prince is just a sad old man in bad drag.for some reason old people seem to think hes still kinda hip,i guess they just cant let the past go.sad.

Prince is playing at Dennys in Vegas.Where you can order the Purple Rain Grand Slam.

Prince is hot.

The other one is not. IMHO.

Prince is hot.

The other one is not.

I thought Justin was making fun of Janet, not Prince..

Hell who knows....

JT is a long nose fugly beeyatch!

again, he should STFU!!

"He is a relic from the past,a golden oldie that hasnt mattered in year"

In an age where singers do not sing live and rely on handlers to carefully construct an image, you are correct, there is no place in the entertainment industry for folks who can:

* sing
* dance
* write and compose their own music
* play instruments

This IS the age of the non talents like JT and Spears and Lohan and Hogan and all the other miscreants who couldn't hold a note in a handbag.

PS. Prince's latest CD sold well beyond expectations WITHOUT air play. So much so that a music exec who passed on Prince's last project was booted from her position when he sold as many CDs as he did.

Princess hasnt grown since the 80"s thats why all his stuff all sounds the same.Read the liner notes on J.T.S CD All songe written or cowritten by him,and he does play on the ced as well.Some people just cant let go of the past.When you hear yourself saying things like'oh the music these days" you know you"re old and listen to the 80"s station and remember the good ol days.Let it go prince is playing in vegas with all the other has beens.Burp.

Are you kidding Madge!
Where's the new Led Zep, Who, Floyd, Jimi HENDRIX?
Oh...it's Timberlake{dink in a box}. And Britney band-aids.
Isn't it great to be young and absorbing all this wonderful inspiring, soulfull, corporate, new music!!

Prince is really a woman tryin to disguise herself as a man. His music makes me gag. he can retire his purple ass anytime now. JT is the shit!!!

There is just something about Justin that is so fake, that he can not get away from no matter what he does!

The kid may outsell Prince, but he's the master of his own destiny and laughs all the way to the bank! Not having huge sales figures is less painful when you get to keep ALL the money - the kid probably doesn't get squat, it all goes to pay for the marketing that makes schmuks like him into "stars..."

I've read all these comments about Prince and JT. The people who are ragging on Prince are obviously pinheaded immature teenagers and 20 something's who have no taste in music. They are absorbed in today's fake corporate music. I'm 17 and I can understand where these older people are coming from. Prince is a far better musician than that bitch JT will ever be. The only reason why he's hot right now is because the rock critics are so desperate for a white star that they overglamourzie this album ( though he stole the dance moves and singing sytle from MJ and Prince, and his beats are prouced by Timbaland.) This imitator is like pokemon, he'll be hot for another five years and then fade out. Prince will be in the history books.

To the ass who thinks "Prince's stuff all sounds the same":

Did you become deaf as a result of being stupid, or stupid as a result of being deaf???

big fan of prince for 25 years, dont know if that makes me sad, no need for all u haters. i like jt too, but prince is king. there probably is no rivalry but look at u all now all angry . guess thats what press wants. listen to some prince music not purple rain little deeper than that say controversy or uptown and chill out. peace.

JT doesn't even compare. Prince is a musical god. He has accomplished more than JT will ever accomplish. One by one all of N'sync members are coming out of the closet. It is only a matter of time. If it wasn't for making the band he would still be a mousekateer. He needs to show some respect for someone who paved the way for his bitch ass boyband to even be around!

Jt is so f-ing sexy! Stop being HATERS! Prince was cool and still is, but JT is sexy as can be!JT's new album is great from start to finish. Prince (or symbol)Black Sweat was good; that's it!!!

There is no "feud" and everyone who goes off on this like Justin is just sitting at home thinking "Prince sucks"....GET OVER IT. He himself has claimed to be a fan. He knows by doing this it *creates* controversy and hence spurs blogs, message boards and conversations like this. To get people talking. The fact is, Prince may have been around for a while but he should have never opened his mouth. If he really was so "talented" why would he care what other people were doing (hence Justin being successful with "SexyBack"). THAT is jealousy and nothing else. Justin has a right to respond to it...HOWEVER---there is no "feud" ! Justin was joking at the Golden Globes...woopty doo...so stop blowing it up. Get a sense of humor. None of this stuff is as serious as the MEDIA is trying to portray it as. They are both talented in their own respects. Yeah Justin hasn't been around as long. Uh, newsflash. He isn't as old as Prince either. Hrmm. So give him some time and stop *pitting* them against each other. They are both respectable and TALENTED artists regardless of the stupid comment Prince felt the need to make. If he was that proud of his current work/success he would have not even thought to say anything. But more importantly...there is NO feud. Move on with your lives people. If you like Prince...like Prince. If you like Justin, like Justin. No need for this drama.

why did JT try to come up with a diss song? He needs to stop hanging around people that are used to saying "yes" to him. Some one needs to tell him "hey JT I don't think you should step up to the plate and stay warming up the bench on this one."

I think that the whole thing is a HOOT! I think that the Jt/Nelly F. song is a great song....just, however realized the actual lyrics today. The whole matter is funny!! Don't ya think?

i think sexy back and jts new stuff is bare good and prince justs needs to get over it not like hes jelous but he should just leave it coz at the end of the day it doesnt even matter that much.

....i feel that justin admires and respects prince and styles some of his songs as an homage, not as a ripoff.....this "feud" is being orchestrated by a media that loves to find fault and start trouble.....

I agree with this comment. When I first heard Sexy Back, I thought it was JT styling more after Prince than Michael Jackson (THANK GOD, Michael is so EEEWWWWEEEE), and the other songs on JT's FSLS CD reinforced that. In the new "diss song" I think he's talking mostly about Janet not being on the charts. (Which "hello", she's been less active than Prince) She tried to hang him out to dry after the wardrobe malf. Wasn't he the one who issued a statement the next day apologizing, but she had to go on Oprah (more publicity) to "clear the air". The malfunction was a publicity stunt on one or both their parts (so what, like no one's ever seen a boob) and the continued bull is also just more publicity.

As for Prince... He said it and he was right. Sexy never left. He's been bringing it for-ever and will continue. I don't see why pointing out to the kiddies (the rest of us, including JT, knew where JT was inspired) exactly who started the sexy was wrong for him. He's still writing, producing, selling and even if he wasn't, he's already given us some of the sexiest music ever. Good things come in all sizes of packages. Remember, either one you like-JT or Prince (or both like me) size doesn't matter. They both know what to do with it.

Justin kicks ass all the way. He is H-O-T-T!!!!!! And besides even if Prince WAS great.. that is the key word.. WAS... who is on top now....Justin! And in my opinion he totally brought sexy back!

Prince needs to give it up Hes old as hell and needs to join the cast of the Surreal Life!!! And JT needs to stop bein a lil bitch and should stop sayin that he doesnt want to help Britney out. SHE DOESNT NEED HELP!!! Shes gonna comeback like crazy!!

how long does it take for a comment to post up here? I left one that hasn't showed in days.

Prince = Legend
Justin = ??????

Prince doesn't really care about record sales and chart positions he just makes good solid music. He already proved himself!!!! the fact that his current stuff isn't topping the charts today is saying a lot when you consider what is.... the demographic of people who put songs on the top and make songs chart toppers have no idea what talent or real music is.

OK- Prince made a joke about Justin. People make jokes about other people all the time. Prince hasn't mentioned it since, cos he was having a bit of fun! Justin has hung on to it though because he is a big fan of Prince and by carrying on talking about it, he is associating himself with His Royal Purpleness. I don't blame him- I mean if Prince or any other of the world's all time legends were talkin about me I wouldn't want people to forget it- no matter what he said!

Those of you that think Justin is a punk need to shutup. He's obviously successful for a reason. Prince is great, but there's no reason for them to be compared. They're two totally different people with different genres of music. I don't know why this feud is even happening! I don't think what Prince said was a big deal anyway! Can't we all just get along? JT is hot. So is Prince....let's just leave it at that.

prince is supreme, justin is a minor.i completely agree with the very first comment. how can somebody as inexperienced as jt possible challenge a god like Prince? it just isn't happening.
