In reply to Empress B.

How the hell was he ripping them off? Sting's friends with Bruno and he got him to play at his concert, and Stewart Copeland praised the song as well. And LOL at the MJ reference- pretty much all R&B artists use MJ as inspiration (and none of Bruno's songs have ripped off MJ's material, in terms of chords or melody). Funny you say that, as Timberlake (who I love, mind you!) and Usher were referred to as MJ-wannabes several times in the past. Maxwell sh*ts on both of them vocally, but Bruno's a better vocalist (he was signed to Motown in the past) and instrumentalist than Justin.
