What would Elvis make of Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Eminem?
As Elvis Presley becomes the Official Chart's 1000 number one single, we look at the new pretenders to Pop's throne. Are Eminem, Justin Timberlake and Beyonceworthy of the crown? If he had been alive today, what would the King have made of the class of 2005?
Eminem:
"Besides the fame, I don't think too much different has happened in my life than the average person. But the difference is I'm able to take it and write about it, express it to the world... because we are the world, we are the children..."
Beyonce:
"I'm at place in my life where I have to do what's in my heart because we've been very successful, and that's beautiful, but I want to be a timeless artist."
Justin Timberlake:
"Singing is so much more than just singing, man. When you sing you need to portray that message. You're actually speaking, you're just doing it with a different style."
Eminem:
"It's not a lot different. The buildings are a bit more pointy. Our buildings are flat and low..."
