Usher & Justin Timberlake could be the next MJ, BUT.....

As the King of Pop is gone from the music scene now, we all look forward to the next heirs to the pop world that MJ had created years and years ago. But who could possibly fill it? I got two names for you - Usher and Justin Timberlake. Each possesses the awesome dancing skills and vocal talent (with Justin usually doing the higher notes similar to MJ's). However, with what they can do - that's all we're possibly going to get from them and even the artists out there trying to get a dose of what MJ left behind. This is when the BUT will come in. I don't think they'll go up a notch in caring for the world, the children. MJ's message is lost, unfortunately.In this day and age, 'sex' and perversive lyrics sell. That's all we're teaching the next generation - and that's sad. MJ was a musical genius that excelled in all boundaries of music from knowing how a song should be heard to writing lyrics to a song that has so much meaning - so much it can touch the world, the human being, etc. ... Now, can Usher, Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo and all these MJ would-be's reflect the same legacy that he left behind. I don't think so.
