Justified vs FutureSex/LoveSounds: The Singles

[Dave de Sylvia]

Now that 'Summer Love' has been all but confirmed as the fourth single from FutureSex/LoveSounds, I can finally wow everyone with my fascinating insight into how awesome the four singles from Justified were. I doubt anyone would be dumb enough to say Justified is the better album, though I've been on the internet too long to rule it out, but it's pretty obvious its singles blow FSLS out of the water/park/waterpark.

Justified:
'Like I Love You' (feat. Clipse)
'Cry Me A River'
'Rock Your Body'
'Senorita'

FutureSex/LoveSounds:
'SexyBack' (feat. Tim Bellend)
'My Love' (feat. T.I.)
'What Goes Around/Comes Around Interlude'
'Summer Love/Set The Mood Prelude'

Go nuts.

[Cocaine]

I have to say that I prefer the first three singles to anything off FSLS, but I prefer FSLS as a whole, because Justified had Senorita (which I hated) and a lot of sappy ballads (which I hated).

FSLS seemed like more of a balance between tempos and it was cool that he bit Prince instead of MJ this time around.

[Dave de Sylvia]

There's quite a bit of Prince on Justified too though. Pharrell's entire contribution, for instance.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, but I can't listen to most of Justified without falling asleep.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah, but yer wrong. OK, you're right, but there's definitely bags of Prince on both albums. I prefer the vibe of Justified to Tim's thump-thump but god the songs go on so long and they're not really to begin with.

[Cocaine]

I just appreciate FSLS for being a relatively awkward sounding Pop album and still doing pretty awesome. Plus it's helping people get over the whole POP SUX thing. Plus it's a better album than Just Defied.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I like the way no matter what crap Timbaland puts out rock kids still think it's genius.

[Jacaranda]

lol
its ironic people listen to metal and pop whoa.


obviously justified wins with rock your body, like i love you and cry me a river.

future sex has sexy back and what goes around.
although orginally i was thinking future. I think justified had better singles but the first half of future sex is sex.

[Cocaine]

i listen to more than just metal and pop if you're referring to me.

and i totally agree with you though.

[planewreck]

I listen to Future more, but I find him more in his element with Future. I like his aspirations to be more than the Prince of Pop that basically cemented him the title. Future tries too hard with its drawn out songs and overreaches a tad, but it's so endearing and catchy that it's still ranks at the top of 2006 for me. Justified, while still good, I haven't listened enough to really judge, nor have I wanted to after a few listens. That should at least tell me that I like Future more. Much, much more.

Also, I like that Future isn't immediately accessible. Justified had ready made radio hits on its hands, but Future took me a while to slide into. And instead of turning me off, this made me want to listen to it more, just so I could learn to love every hook. Damn Girl, while annoying, became fun to me, while LoveStoned became a car anthem with me and my friends. So good.

[Cocaine]

Damn Girl is only annoying because of Will.I.Am's annoying WU-WU-WU-WU-WU-WU-WU-WU- BABY.

fsls NO QUESTION

sexyback sucks though

[Lydisk]

futuresex is more "mature" ?

i prefer FSLS anyways

[indietrash]

they both suck, really. but FSLS > Justified.
the only ex-boyband kids I like (a bit) are Stephen Gately and Robbie Williams. but Justin Timberlake is not the worst one I've heard, by any means.

[Dave de Sylvia]

the only ex-boyband kids I like (a bit) are Stephen Gately and Robbie Williams.
I guess we've solved the "is he or isn't he?" question then.

5-2 what the hell is wrong with you weirdos

[Cocaine]

I didn't actually realize this thread was entirely about the singles until I voted. I probably would have voted Justified if we were only considering singles, even if I still thing Senorita was bad. Or maybe not, I dont know.

[planewreck]

I still vote FSLS for singles.

[The Jungler]

Justified has Rock Your Body , therefore, automatic win.

[Geography]

lol

[Jacaranda]

i didn't even read thread i just voted.

whatever

[Liberi Fatali]

My Love is my hands down favourite from either album, but overall Justified is the winner, as I liked 3 of the 4 singles, whereas with FutureSex/LoveSounds I'm not a big fan of any of the singles outside of My Love.

[Abaddon2005]

This is pretty tough.. The singles from Futuresex have more playcounts on my iTunes though.

[planewreck]

My Love, What Goes Around, and Summer Love are so good though. I hope LoveStoned is the next single.

[Channing]

futuresex

[TojesDolan]

The singles were better, indeed.

[Jacaranda]

justified singles were better hands down. none of the songs off of sexy love noise compares to the singles on justified.

[Ando!]

Did he perform like this when he was promoting Justified?
