Brian McKnight Overlooked While Timberlake Triumphed
. While the light shines bright on Timberlake's 20/20 (sold 968,000 in one week), McKnight's classic R&B set sold 7,000 on the indy E-One Entertainment. McKnight, who has been nominated for 16 GRAMMYs (received none), is accustomed to being overshadowed or overlooked by the mainstream. And when it comes to Justin Timberlake, he too understands the singer's success and overall commercial appeal. I am very proud to have worked with him in the beginning and to see what he has evolved into on the stage, on the silver screen, and as he continues," McKnight told Radio.com. "It's pretty phenomenal to see that he's been gone and comes right back you see where his passion is." Timberlake appeared on McKnight's "My Kind Of Girl" from his 2001 album, Superhero. And the following year, he wrote and produced on Timberlake's Justified. "Knowing him the way I do, he knows what hes doing," said Brian McKnight. "He knows what he wants to do. He understands his power. Nobody gets to debut new songs nobody ever heard on the GRAMMYs. And then every commercial that comes on, he's on that too." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
