When Michael Jackson joined Justin Timberlake and 'NSYNC onstage at the 2001 Video Muzik Awards, JT didn't get a chance to sing with one
of his idols. The King of Pop just busted out a number of his signature dance moves as the crowd at New York's Metropolitan Opera House went nuts. A couple months later, though, Timberlake got the opportunity of a lifetime when he performed — and sung — with MJ at his 30th anniversary konsert at Madison Square Garden.
Years later, and months after Jackson's passing, Timberlake maintains that Jackson's vocal dexterity might be the biggest legacy he's left behind.
"If there's anything that I think my generation of artists — including myself, obviously — emulate about Michael, it's that he felt what he was doing so much that his vocal presentation of the song, anda can tell when he was cutting the record he was probably dancing in the booth," Timberlake told MTV News on the red carpet at his Las Vegas charity concert. "At least that's what it seems like to me. That type of energy, that kinetic energy into the music, I think that's what we all try to emulate. From hip-hop to pop to rock and roll, I think that there's inflection that he put into Muzik as a vocalist that no one had ever really heard that way."
Though Timberlake professed to be a huge peminat of Jackson's tunes as a kid, he also admitted that he didn't have a true understanding of Jackson's legacy until he left utama to pursue a career as an artist. "Growing up in Tennessee, I never really understood the phenomenon that was Michael Jackson atau the pandemonium that followed him around," JT said. "I just heard certain songs that I loved as a kid and I gravitated toward those songs. It just so happens that 99.79 percent of his songs are perfect. They're perfect songs. The other whatever percentage are works of art as well."
One work of art he's interested in checking out is "Michael Jackson's This Is It," the upcoming documentary about the singer's final days. "It looks like a lebih intimate view than anything we've seen," he said. "I'm sure it will be good."
While he's looking ke hadapan to catching MJ on the big screen, Timberlake berkata he doesn't try to invoke his idol in the recording booth — though he's pleasantly surprised when he finds a point of similarity in their music. "You don't imitate it, but anda know when anda have something that he had," he explained. "You could tell he was just excited about the Muzik he was doing. That's the feeling that anda get sometimes and that's when anda feel like the king — but other than that, not so much!"

He's got Joo Joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine

He's got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say "I know you, anda know me"
One thing I can tell anda is anda got to be free
Come together

He bag production
He's got walrus gum-boot
He's got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker, keropok
He got feet down through his knees
Hold anda in his kerusi, kerusi berlengan

He one Mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good looking
