I guess not....were there even any male pop singers besides Justin last decade? It honestly seems like he's the only male pop star and it's been that way for over a decade now.
He could come back any time he wanted to and slay without effort because there is simply nobody for him to compete with.
The majority of the tracks on 'Justified' was offered to Michael but he paid it dust and rejected them. So Justin recorded them. No shade but it is what it is.

That was a solid album, Michael's rejected songs, but a solid album none the less. Future.Sex.Love.Sounds is superior imo though. I still use profusely.
It was better than any album Michael released and far more critically acclaimed than anything Michael released this millennium, in ages really.

Michael Jackson's probably thinking, "Man, this is the album I should've made!"

'Rock Your Body' could easily fit onto 'Off The Wall' (interestingly, some of the tracks on 'Justified' were originally rejected by Michael Jackson). But Justin is the reason they become brilliant - and that's something Michael could never do to a track.

@ such mediocrity being compared to the greatest debut album in the history of music.
