Ya'll heard what he said? He said somethin' like: "I guess ya'll know who's better..." (during an acceptance speech in response to the allegations of a rivalry) ... oh, and that's not word for word but basically what was said...

yes, I think Usher's a better dancer and singer but that's a dumb cheapshot because the fact that, ONE, Justin didn't drop an album this year for him to compete against and the fact that Justin won just about every single VMA award last year and more than Usher has in his whole career... so I wasn't feelin' that move EVEN THOUGH I THINK HE'S AN OVERALL BETTER ARTIST...
juliar
Justin wasn't even at the VMA's,
and yeah, that was funny as hell.

OMG like he cannot totally do that, what a freak
[/sarcasm]


Eh sorry; I just find the whole rivalry silly.

i hate usher! ugh! he thinks hes like the shiz cause he had like how many singles out? yeah, burn, confessions pt 2 and now my boo. sheesh. usher. stubborn.gif .
THATS MY OPINION! but yeah i didnt hear that cause i didnt watch the vmas.

edit// just to clear this up im mean singles that are out now.. like on the raido right now. i know he had other singles before that
PENtheINSTRUMENT
nah, I understand what'chu mean but it's like sayin'... you're good and basketball and won all the championships and then retire or take a year off... then another du' comes in and wins one while your gone and sayin' he's better than you for winnin' that one....

see, just doesn't work... I actually like Usher's music more and the rivalry is silly... built up by the media (they asked Janet Jackson the same question and Janet said Usher's better too) but stilll... I'm sayin', that is a low blow considering they weren't goin' head to head... it was one du' succeeding while the other was takin' a break after much success

that's ignorant... c'mon, "My Way" was SICK, "You Got it Bad" was SICK!, "You Remind me of a Girl" SICK!!! ... "You Don't have to call" SICK!!! Nice and Slow was sick! You Make Me Wanna was sick as well

you're forgettin' a lotta good music he made as well

I never even thought of Usher and Justin being rivals, actually.. I really could care less about them, in fact, I really do care less about them. Sure, each of them has a respectable number of fans that doesn't mean they have to be rivals.. right? blink.gif (I have no idea what I just said..)
xquizit
Yeah, that comment pissed me off. He needs to get over himself and stop being so damn cocky.

And "Like I Love You", "Cry Me A River", "Rock Your Body", and "Still On My Brain" are all hotter singles than "Yeah", "Burn", and "Confessions" IMO.

umm.. no... usher was on the scene way before JT was even walking.. (not literally) what r u talking about when u say he only has does singles out?... he had so much before.. you got it bad, you dont have to call, u remind me.. and usher has like 4 or 5 albums... and JT?.... 1 solo... 2 or 3 with his band... Usher's award was well deserved, especially when that was is first time recieving a moon man.

and about the Usher dissing Justin...
He never said he was better, he said now all the talk about a fued between them could stop. and he said he respect him both musically and personally and they shouldn't be judge together but instead a separte individuals, both extermly musically talented .

but he is a bit cocky.... blink.gif

nah, you got it wrong... one, Usher doesn't have 4 or 5 albums... he has 3 albums released into the mainstream and one that's almost considered independent when he was a young teenager... he has another one but that's just a live album so that doesn't count (cuz not new music)

and regardless, Justin's sold 10x the album... I'm not defending anyone because once again, I like Usher more... but just get the facts straight before you say stuff like this

and as for Usher dissin' Justin, he did do this... if you caught the VMA two nights ago, he clearly dissed 'em... he didn't say anything about him respecting Justin... he said "this should end the talks about who's better between me 'n Justin" unless you're retarded, he means that this proves he's better cuz it doesn't prove he's worse...

and that was quite cocky/ignorant/immature, as I said before, because it wasn't like they were goin' head to head

DONT HATE. people love usher. i adore usher. his music IS good or else those singles wouldnt have been a success

Usher didnt say that! he said he doesnt want anymore of the competition between Justin and Him because there is no Competition! He wants that competition between justin and him to end! DIRTYDIRT got everything. she what he really said. Im not a fan of any of them so im just tryingto clear everything to y'all. He just wanted that competition to end because there is no competion watsoever.!

no, he clearly said: "this proves who's better..." or somethin' of that nature after he won an award... he said: "that's comin' from me" or somethin' to that nature....

how'd it prove he was better? *confused*

they didn't go head to head, nor did they both drop an album in the past year... Justin's album's from two years ago and that ain't fair to say Usher was better cuz he dropped an album this year... I wasn't feelin' every track on Confessions but a lotta the tracks were dope (I can't front) 'n I think Usher's a really talented artist but at the same time, Justin's talented too... I feel Usher's more talented than Justin but it still ain't fair to say that considering they didn't both get an album out in the same year...

Just last year, would it have been fair to say Justin was better than Usher (though I don't think he is) cuz he dropped a pretty dope album and won almost every VMA and the European VMA also? nah, that wouldn't be fair either

I still feel that was a cheap shot... maybe they both drop albums next year 'n see who does better and who gets more sales and who has more hits and who also does better overall... even if Justin got more sales, I'd still think Usher's more talented but it would just be more fair if it was said when they were goin' head to head....
kantoaznboi
now that i think of it, it seems like justin is tryin 2 be like usher. idk

ushers a good singer(personally better then justin) and stuff, just his songs r always played out and over played
thesecretmodel
Jeez, I feel glad that I only just listen to the music. I've really stopped caring about an artists personalities or what they're saying bout someone else. I just listen for the damn music.

you can't even compare justin and usher. cause like.. usher is like.. r&b and rap and justin's like pop it's kinda like comparing hilary duff to missy elliot blink.gif

what're you talkin' about... Justin's as much into hip hop as Usher is... at least listening-wise cuz he's a huge R&B fan... and Usher isn't rap... have you ever heard 'em rap??!!?!? he's a straight up R&B artist... and if you actually listened to any of Justin's album, it was straight up hip hop... he used Timbaland (a hip hop artist and producer) for several of the tracks on his album and the Neptunes (more hip hop produers - yeah I know they do pop also) for a major portion of the album... Brian McKnight, a GREAT GREAT R&B artist also produced and co-wrote another song on the album... 80-90% of the album was R&B... c'mon, seriously, what're you talkin' about? he even beat-boxed on the album; THAT'S A F*CKIN' SUB-ELEMENT OF HIP HOP!

Justin's as much of a R&B artist as Usher is (though I think Usher's a 'lil better)... and even some of the sh*t he did with N'Sync was more R&Bish than pop...

but anyways... sorry about my 'vagueness'

what i meant was..

the Confessions part II........... gaah, pratically all the songs that would seem overplayed on the radio.

like.. Burn or.. yea.

Those just don't seem that they should be played that much and instead ok?
and i DO think Usher sounds better than JT but dissing...isn't exactly the wise thing to do in my judgement.

all tht matters is tht Usher got a moonman and JT didnt.

nah, you didn't step on my tail at all... I think both artist dropped dope albums... all the songs got overplayed cuz they were good... but yeah, it started getting annoying without a doubt but just because it got overplayed doesn't mean it wasn't good, quality music

yeah, I agree, Usher's better but shouldn't have said that... it was a cheap shot

huh.gif hey ppl yall r missin the whole point usher wuz not tryin to dis justin he wuz actually doin the opposite his exact quote wuz "I'm not in competition with Justin. I'm not in competition with anyone but myself."
everyone keeps sayin they don't like each other and stuff, but he wuz sayin its not like that. so to the person who started this topic u should get ur facts straight before u start stuff because now u've started a little competition on here, which defeats the whole purpose of wut usher said.

no, he DEFINITELY SAID SOMETHING TO THE NATURE OF: "I guess we know who's better between Justin 'n I"... some sh*t like that... I know that's not his exact words or even close to it but that's EXACTLY what I made out from what he said...

if you were right, more people woulda said what you said on this thread but there were more people sayin': "that was funny when he said that..."

OH N0ES!!
SOME ONE'S BETTER THAN JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE???
*gaso*
Oh well. I think they both suck in any case.

actually... ever since he left nsync, justin's been VERY into the hip-hop r&b thing, he even did that one song with whats his face (uhg, can't remember but...)... so its NOTHING LIKE comparing hilary duff to missy elliot. ....

btw... hilary duff and missy elliot are not even CLOSE to the same league.
