Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
Justin on becoming the new Michael Jackson:
''Those are big shoes to fill. Just like Michael took inspiration from James [Brown], sure, Michael's inspired me immensely to do what I do. At the same time, I'm doing exactly what I want to do. Anytime someone comes out and dances and does something with choreography, they say, 'Well, that's inspired by Michael.' So, thank you. That's a compliment. The responses I've been hearing are that [my Video Music Awards performance] was very reminiscent of Michael, but at the same time I did my own thing.''
