1. Justin Timberlake
Qualifications: Swagger and two solo albums that should have been Michael Jackson’s. That said, he did Janet Jackson wrong during the “Nipplegate.”
2. Adele
Qualifications: Her sense of soul when she sings feels so familiar.
3. Jon B.
Qualifications: If you were alive in the 90’s you wouldn’t even have to ask.
4. Gary Owen
Qualifications: There’s nothing better than a white dude who KNOWS the culture but doesn’t pretend to be FROM that culture.
5. Amber Rose
Qualifications: She helped take Kanye off our hands for a while — that’s at least a temporary pass.
