Why are people forever trying to compare Usher and JT - it's not a rivalry, they are completely different artists. I'm not that familiar with Usher's songwriting, but JT writes/co-writes not only the majority of his own music, but also writes/co-writes for others (including Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna). He also put together songs for *NSYNC, and since you want to talk about sales, *NSYNC still has the highest-selling first week sales ever. Michael Jackson respected Justin as an artist, just like he did with Usher. Justin's got the chops and deserves the respect, whether you want to admit it or not.
