JOHN MAYER - MAYER'S TIMBERLAKE OBSESSION

MAYER'S TIMBERLAKE OBSESSION

Rocker JOHN MAYER is obsessed with fellow pop star JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - and has lavished praise on the SexyBack star. Mayer insists Timberlake's approach to pop is groundbreaking, and believes the singer's "awesomeness" is single-handedly altering the face of pop. He writes on his blog, "Those of you who've known me for a while are probably familiar with my firm defensive stance when it comes to the state of pop music. I think pop music is on a hot streak right now." And Mayer is proud of his obsession with his favourite pop track - Timberlake's LoveStoned/I Think She Knows Interlude. He adds, "Not so much for the LoveStoned part, but for the 45 seconds of ultimate sonic bliss that is I Think She Knows. It's J.T.'s breakthrough moment as an artist; a novel mix of Coldplay guitar lines, hip hop beats and a vocal approach somewhere in between. I spend the first 3:30 (minutes) preparing for the awesomeness to come. Then I yell at the speakers, 'Make this 4 minutes long and put it on the next disc!'"
