    "He set the standards for R&B, period. So to be sitting in the same room, same studio. I had regroup, get my s--- right!" -- Akon


    The controversial singer took time at the Grammy nominations to tell Spinner what it was like to work with Michael Jackson.

    This guy must be pretty out there to be labeled as a "controversial singer" in the same sentence you're talking about Michael Jackson. heh

    I like Akon, but what is this obsession everyone has with Michael Jackson all of a sudden?
    He really does kind of suck. He only has a few good songs.
