Justin Timberlake is not on Michael's level and he never will be. Comments like these show me that people really have no grasp of how talented Michael actually is. If they did, they wouldn't be making such silly and standardless comparisons. There's no comparison between him and someone like Justin, or Usher, or Chris Brown, or Omarion, or any of these dime a dozen jokers.
That's just talent wise. In terms of career success, by the time Michael was Justin's age, he was the most famous human being on the planet, had the biggest selling album of all time, was the highest paid entertainer in the world, had set numerous records, including having the most number of Grammy's won in a single year, having produced the most top 10 singles off of one album ever, having produced before "Thriller" the biggest selling album by a black artist ever. He was the first black artist to be played in any signifigant capacity on MTV. He had the biggest selling music video of all time with the "Making of Thriller". He had broken all kinds of attendance records with his "Victory" tour. On and on and on. Justin hasn't done anything.
