In reply to pat.

Umm... No! Robin Thicke didn't even come out until 2003 and didn't become successful until "Lost Without You" in 2007 AFTER he got off that damn bike, cut his long hippy hair, dressed more mature and adopted a more mature R&B sound via Pharrel to match his voice during "The Evolution of Robin Thicke" era of late 2006/early 2007.

Whereas, musically-speaking, Justin Timberlake Has Been PRIMARILY Making Blue Eyed Pop/Soul/R&B Music Since 2002's "JUSTIFIED" & had been working with Pharrel to give N'Sync a more urban sound since "GIRLFRIEND" on N'sync's "CELEBRITY" album of 2001. Aesthetically speaking, Justin adopted a shorter hair cut in 2001and began donning Suits + Ties months prior to "The Evolution of Robin Thicke" during the entire "FutureSex/LoveSounds" era which began in the Summer of 2006.

In conclusion, I love them both (or else I wouldn't have commented or known so much about Robin's background) but it would appear that Robin Thicke has made quite the career out of mimicking JT's moves and not the other way around.
