Legent JT

VH1 goes back to its music roots and revisits the age-old question: “Who is the greatest music artist for all time?” Determined by a poll of well-known music artists and music experts in the industry, VH1 will reveal this definitive (and sure-to-be highly controversial) list declaring who is the greatest of the great. Hosted by Jim Shearer (VH1’s “Top 20 Video Countdown”), the 4-night special, VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of All Time,” premieres Monday, September 6 at 10/9c with a 2-hour premiere.

This definitive countdown covers all genres of music – from rock to pop to rap to metal – to answer who is worthy to possess the title as “the greatest music artist of all time.” Over the 200 musicians including Alicia Keys, Ozzy Osbourne, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Iggy Pop, Nas, Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Geddy Lee (Rush), Alex Lifeson (Rush), Michael Diamond (Beastie Boys), Daryl Hall, John Oates, Noel Gallagher (Oasis), Gene Simmons (KISS), Adam Levine (Maroon Five), 50 Cent, Nelly Furtado, Mandy Moore, Carrie Underwood, Adam Clayton (U2) and many more voted on who they believe deserves this highly coveted title.

In 1998, VH1 launched the same list as the channel’s first countdown special; however; much has changed since the dawn of the new millennium. VH1 puts this debate up for a vote again to see which rock pioneers still matter and which new acts rate in the age of download-to-own music and ever-changing pop culture. The countdown will include special, rarely-seen performance footage along with brand new, totally original interviews with music’s most famous faces including interviews by Adele, Backstreet Boys, Brandy, Bret Michaels, Chris Daughtry, Hall & Oates, Keane, Ozzy Osbourne, Ray J, Sheryl Crow, Usher, Whitney Houston and many more.

Justin is placed #66 on the list:

1. The Beatles
2. Bob Dylan
3. Michael Jackson
4. Led Zeppelin
5. Rolling Stones
6. Jimi Hendrix
7. Prince
8. Elvis Presley
9. James Brown
10. Stevie Wonder

Justin never ceases to amaze me. I’m so proud of him too. If you take a look at the list a lot of his contemporaries didn’t make the cut, that just goes to show that he is greatly respected in the business and is on his way to be a legend.

That’s great that Justin is increasing his popularity on twitter. These other celebrities like Lady Gaga also post pictures of themselves on a regular basis so of course they are going to be higher.
Like you said if he started twitting more himself he would be higher, but he doesn’t seem to be much into social networking even though he is on a movie about Facebook, as ironic as that sounds lol.

I agree. And I kinda love that he rarely posts on Twitter and doesn’t Facebook. As fun as that would be, I like he keeps his privacy intact and his personal life away from the public. it just makes his popularity on those sites more impressive.
