Robin Thicke was writing and producing Grammy winning albums for some of the top artist.

[@rbdjdropz]

Robin and JT have been in the music business for YEEEARS and only now do ppl actually try to compare?!!? You folks are funny...

[@islamhammal5412]

im a JT fran but i like robin and i like what he said about JT he sems like a nice guy

[@nyaf832]

Okay will y'all just stop hating. Jt is an awesome artist, so is Robin. You may think one is better than the other, FINE. Just don't bring up your opinions and try to turn it into a fact.

[@infinitedreams3158]

Jt was the guy who first brought that falsetto in the early 90s and 2000s. And robin is just..... ehh. Jt is better in every aspect of a musician.

[@RnBLover1997]

I also rather listens to Timberlake sometimes and sometimes Robin Thicke. But you clearly don't know shit about Thicke. You think Blurred Lines is all he got? He wrote Fall Again for Michael Jackson in the 90s for example, he was a writer for other artists and was doing his R&B/soul thing for many years before he now is going more mainstream but he is a great musician and a great songwriter. He got the eye for soothing R&B ballads but you just assumed something stupid.

[@hanslee2105]

Filip - You clearly don't know shit! Thicke might've written songs for MJ but MJ wanted to actually do a song WITH JT while he was with NSYNC!!!! MJ knew he was going to become the prez of pop!!!

[@RnBLover1997]

Hanheum Lee Prince Of Pop? I hope you are kidding, that's only a matter of opinion. Give me the source of your claim. And explain why I don't know shit, I explained to the other guy who Robin Thicke was, I didn't attack Timberlake in any way. I listen to Justin Timberlake sometimes and think he is one of the few "real" mainstream pop artists out there. Think a bit before you write your comments.

[@marilynrimmer9282]

JT is idk, and robin needs to diss JT

[@youtubecommenter37]

Robin Thicke writes and performs songs for black listeners. Justin Timberlake performs songs for white listeners who have a superficial understanding of black culture

[@everydayisashow]

JT makes commercial pop music with a glimpse of rnb, robin thicke sings rnb and he is a good song writer, writing for big names in the industry. To each is own but I like robin thicke a little bit better

[@KirstynSmith1]

Yo I just love Robin Thicke!! I'm still hoping that he and his wife can gt back together. But what he just said made my day too funny

[@marilynrimmer9282]

Me too!

[@kshook123]

How funny is it that Robin Thicke went all out on saying how Justin did copy when Robin didn't even write his hit song and fucked up while Justin is slaying still?

[@GiGi2O11]

Um, Robin is to Justin as Jermaine is to Michael.

[@mannjaye]

His evolution of robin thicke album is his crown

[@Goldenslaya117]

Omfg!! Best interview I've ever seen xD

[@Xstarzones2]

I agreed with you in some parts. I for one like JT and his songs. Don't get me wrong, I think Robin Thicke is a good singer and all. But JT is more Talented and a better singer but that just my opinion. Plus he can play some music instrumentals like a piano, guitar player and drums to from what I heard.

[@donikquac]

Rb and JT is on fire right now they are both bringing real music back !

[@0504Candi]

I've loved Justin since his *NSYNC days and of course, I'm biased to think he is better. Honestly, I didn't know who Robin Thicke was until Blurred Lines, and I'm assuming most of you didn't either... except for some of his fans that have followed him since his beginnings..

[@TheDarknight2222]

dont u ever compare Robin thicke to JT....Justin timberlake is good at everything

[@ProtectedOne48]

And I agree with sway... JT and Robin on tour together WOULD MURDER THE VENUE!!!!! Two vocal talents that are amazing and gifted! Respect to both!

[@seandorazio6793]

I'm not sure if "stage presence" is the right word...JT turns it out with 100% smooth when he performs "Suit & Tie". i'd like to see Robin do those moves...

[@stevenmorris2234]

Here's people comparing when I say there should do a song together. I enjoy there voices. Both hit very high notes in a different sound kind of way. I would very much like if both of them did a song together. I think it would be so cool. 😎👌

[@shine0911]

If you must know, Robin Thicke has been around since the early 90s. He was a writer for many artists before he came to the forefront. He released his debut album, "A Beautiful Mind" the same year Justin released "Justified" which was 2002.

[@AsSeenOnTV0893]

"and some lavender." XD Robin Thicke is too much!

[@Esmyi]

Justin Timberlake is awesome Robin Thicke is okay but JT is whoah

[@Xstarzones2]

JT is all around, international Superstar. Most people known who he is unlike Robin Thicke. JT is not only a recording artist singer. But he is a Movie Actor to. Who been in big flims like Network, Time, Friends With Benefits, Now Runner Runner with Ben Affleck. JT also has his own clothing line and He owns his own Business Sales and owns few restrauts in New York, Mempis and so on. The man is very rich.

[@infinitedreams3158]

All music aside, Robin Thick is just annoying. Jt on the other hand, is that guy. You just can not hate JT. He's very humble and so down to earth. Back with music, people who ACTUALLY think Robin is better are delusional. Jt is on a whole other level. Not just his singing abilities but his dancing, producing, songwriting, and stage presence. He's the guy that will get you pumped up on stage. Jt also wrote a song for Michael Jackson as well. He wrote the song "Gone" for him. Jt originally wanted mj to sing it himself. But Mj wanted the song to be a duet them both. But it was already and nsync record. That doesn't even matter though. If you guys say robin is sooo good. Why hasn't won an mj video vanguard award. Why hasn't he won an Emmy? Why hasn't he won all the awards jt has in 2013-2014? Doesn't matter what anyone says, Jt will always be better. I can't believe this is up for discussion. All I'm saying, Jt shits on robin thicke. Accept it. Learn it. Live it. Love it. End of discussion.

[@JanethTorres12]

Thank you! At least someone understands

[@MrThekidisback]

InfiniteDreams Robin Thicke is way more smooth than Justin timberlake. Justin timberlake is kind of dorky.

[@biancamoldovan508]

MrThekidisback You are dorky, JT's the BEST!!!!! (No offense)

[@ohonnandkenna]

lmaooooo he is just gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! i love how open and honest he is.

[@Xstarzones2]

Yeah! But JT also writes some of his songs to. He mention this in interview not Just Timaland. Also don't forget Rob Knots as well. He help produce some of JT songs to. Also, I can't wait for his 20/20 Exp Vol. 2 Album comes out 9/30/2013. And I plan on buy one as soon it comes out on 9/30/13.

[@animeisballing1]

whats he saying timberlake been around way before him

[@e_G_o_05]

robin thicke has been writing and singing HIS own songs when justin timberlake was still in nsync. maybe writing even before nsync. he's right, they're both their own artists but for people to compare him to justin timberlake? it should be the other way around. just because justin is more commercialized, doesn't mean he's the more original.

[@fight4acause]

I am aware of JT writing his own song but he has admitted to other coming up for most of his popular songs with the exception of Cry me a river. I think 20/20 has majority of it lyrically written by JT. I am too excited for 20/20 Vol 2. myself. However I stand by the fact Robin writes better slow jams overall. JT's music is songs I dance to whereas Robin is more for bedroom situation or slow songs for weddings.

[@San47di]

Robin Thicke has been relevant for over Ten years. He writes not only for himself but Many other Top named artists. Timberlake is great, but he doesn't have the "soul" that Robin has, although Timberlake tries hard. I like Timberlake, but I've never been moved to purchase his music. I have Every CD Robin has ever made as he sings about true relationships & he does it with such feeling & meaning. Timberlake is Fad; Thicke is the Real Deal! :-)

[@whitneymcfadden9973]

Strawberries and chocolate with some lavender #dead 😂😭💀

[@Claire3124]

It annoys me how people get so annoyed woth the comparison, why? They're both very talented and have amazing voices and are doing extremely well for themselves, there's worse people they could be compared to! The way i see it it's a huge compliment to both of them being compared to one another!

[@kirabrown7531]

I think Robin is good but I honestly think that JT will have a longer lasting effect on everyone. Both are very talented so I cant say one is better than the other. Personality wise I don't know them so I could never make a judgement on that

[@bcbritt777]

What they meant by jt stealin his style is the whole slick back hair, suite and tie thing. His stage pressence resembles that of robin thicke. Thicke had that from day one where as jt had a diff style with his first two albums, then all of a sudden he has thing frank sinatra style(aka thicke) for his latest albums. He did bite the style of thicks bcus jt never used to dress like that back then...

[@Xstarzones2]

There's No Comparison, between the two. Robin still has a long way to go. Even tho, JT is much younger then Robin, from what I heard. JT is only 32. So he's still kinda young. JT started doing Television Entertainment Business, When he was 13 yrs old in the early 90's. Then he join the music Popular Boy Band called "Nsync at the age of 14. By the time he was 22, He decide to go solo to continue on his music career, then He became Actor & so on.. Where was Robin Thicke at that time No Where.

[@creating1_c1999]

Robin never misses!

[@kristin7799]

I wasnt referencing anyone else in my comment BESIDES timberlake! I am not talking about bieber or wayne or anyone else..biebers album sales are not really that great to begin with...what i was trying to get across to this other person (maybe i should of went further into detail) is timberlake is a wonderful musician and in my opinion he is just as good if not better than robin thicke..they both are song writers and talented...i just didnt agree with what he said about timberlake..so thats that.

[@Xstarzones2]

So True Justin Timberlake is from Mempis Tenn. Born and raise. So he knows all about Soulful and R&B Music People. "Hell where do you think "Elvis got his Rock "N Roll Soul from. Mempis People, Mempis. The City of Soul Music.

[@animeisballing1]

actually timberlake sounds the same on stage..i heard thicke nooo....and timberlake is a way better dancer

[@Peita.T]

ohhhh robin i freakin love you a million times more since watching this!

[@The2012djwess]

I just love them both, Robin Thicke and JT - I think JT got the sexier falsetto but for me Robin Thicke made his falsetto almost flawless and smoother, but still sexy :)

[@TheYellowflash2012]

How can Justin bite him, when Justin was around longer?

[@fight4acause]

The Black community has not fully accepted JT back as they were not happy how he threw Janet under the bus over the Superbowl incident and he's never apologize for it. His music still has more pop than R&B if we are really honest. 20/20 experience is really his first album that's more R&B. Robin also plays instruments, only thing Robin can't do is dance.

[@YankeeBacon]

what came first the chicken or the egg? has Robin really been in the game and at the level Justin is for as long as JT?

[@fight4acause]

He only recently performed there but JT has not been on BET since the Janet thing. He was only there because he happen to do a song with Charlie Wilson. However I know alot people in the black community do not care for JT and stop due how he handled the superbowl situation. I am not one of those all I own all of JT's albums but I think Robin does have more black fans than JT though.

[@ProtectedOne48]

Lmao.... while some of you are having your personal beef about Robin and JT.... did you NOT hear him give respect to JT??? They are actually around the same age for you people who that can't count. And although JT has been around publicly longer... Robin has been on the scene also.... most of you didnt even pay attention until he did " shooter" which was a remake of his origjnal version with Lil Wayne!!! Or the song Lost without you. And Justin got his start off of the Disney channel ( MMClub)

[@coronado1710]

I think I love him even more !!

[@Xstarzones2]

What are you talking about Hon? How long have you been watching JT over the years. Did you or did not watch the BET Awards this year 2013. That network is basic for blacks. The BET Award Rep, for Black Artist weather they are actress or singers. JT was on stage performer for Legend known as Charlie Wilson, Along with Snoop Lion & Pharrell who also, blacks themselves. And please don't speak for us Black Community for not accepted JT. The Black Community where I from. loves JT and his music.

[@monkeymaker2006]

I don't think he can sing better, just higher. Different octaves. Robin to me has a sexier voice and more stage presence.

[@ksmoove12able]

They the same person. Robin even sound like JT trying to disguise his voice. Laughs the same too.

[@safronsahara9000]

Justin straight bit Robin's sound. Suit & Tie is an imitation Magic. Don't even front.

[@Squippyearl]

JT is much, much more talented than Robin.

[@JanethTorres12]

Definitely

[@stevenmorris2234]

I honestly love both of there music. I think there both talented. I wish they did a duet together instead of going against each other. Both artists are amazing. JT is obviously way more popular and is a huge well known pop entertainer and singer. Robin was sadly a hit wonder with his song Blurred Lines. Robin is underrated artists when you listen to his other songs besides his hit single.

[@stevenmorris2234]

Unless Robin has other hits. But that's his big one Blurred Lines.

[@crazyasianman07]

Its true, both Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake sing nearly alike.

[@brittneyking4284]

Robin ain’t on his level

[@Xstarzones2]

Ok! First of all, He was like 10 or 12 years old. When he singin A Country song on Star Search, Which is basic, about talent performers. People change when they get older. And I think JT singin vocals in R&B Soul is just fine the way it is. He's 32 yrs old now. Why would he go back. Anyway he from the South Mempis. Where he surrounded himself arounds Blacks or mix racial community. Which is all about Soul Music from the Legendary Greats Artist..

[@kristin7799]

album sales speaks for itself..

[@dmoney668]

Ironic that two white dudes are bringing back some REAL Rnb/Hiphop. Love the sound, like a lil Prince mixed with Al Green

Robin Thicke's a cool cat

[@SergioArambula]

the logic is fuckin stupid though. Album sales don't determine how good someone is. Look at Frank Ocean for example, I already made the Justin Bieber example. Yes is Timberlake talented?! Hell fuckin yeah he is. He sold a million copies not because of how good he is but how highly anticipated his follow up album to FuturesexLovesounds was. Thats all. I mean Lil Wayne sold a million with The Carter III, and he is still shit.
