If Kevin Federline Could Sing….
Filed under: Timbaland > FrancophiliaIt would be this dude!
Timbaland debuted his new protege on Saturday at the NRJ Music Awards.
He's some French dude named M. Pokora.
He's kinda hot….if it was still 1998!
Click here to watch his boyband moves and Timbo-produced song Dangerous.

he is such a wanna be jt! but no one will ever come close. timbaland cant replace him!
*copy*Justin Timberlake*copy*
*paste*M. Pokora
omg this is huge!! i never thought this would happen. My Matt Pokora is gonna hit the us. ahah awesome. dont know about his new style a la kevin federline and jt, he was better before tho.
WTF???
He is just trying to act like Justin.
Re: hartlepoulette –
You're right. For the French M.Pokora is nothing more than a piece of shit. If u want some real French artists, u can try Camille or Christophe Willem.
and what happened to the justin postttt???? i noticed
WOOT! vive la france!!! its hott! and hes big in france apparently… its cool im glad timbaland is branching out to people OUT SIDE the US… there are tons of good people that we have no idea about just because their songs arent in english… hes going to get big!!!
Same old Beat Timbo uses,that damn synth turn the knob man, i'm very sick of him , no more timbo, fallback relax take a year off people are growning sick of the same beat just remixed.
He's just a Justin Timberlake & Usher wannabe.
Check out his videos on youtube and see for yourself his crappy dance & songs attempts. And that's Timbaland's brother
WHY DOES ALL THE SONGS HE MAKES SOUND THE SAME??? TAKE BREAK COME UP WITH NEW SHIT..
justin's gonna be pisssssssssssed
basically an old justin song over a new justin beat..
Aller tous vous faire enculer ^^ surtout perez !
i actually like this song..he's the french JT lol and looks like kfed
everybody hate that guy here he's a loser ! only little girls are in love with this piece of shhhh :/
YUM!
OMG TIMBALAND NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he's trying to make another Justin Timberlake, but the French version??
No ONE will ever be as great as Justin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is ok, I'm gonna try and find the song on iTunes cuz I like it!
Boo on the JT wannabe that Timbo has "created" BOO!
THIS IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF OF JT I HAVE EVER SEEN. GET A GRIP.
Is Timabaland for real? I had respect for him but this makes me question his tact — he's supporting a JT wannabe?!!! WTF. I am guessing JT is not pleased to see this. They couldn't even get him a different wardrobe — did they just hand him and his dancers the outfits JT & his crew used on the last tour? Talk about unoriginal and sad.
Love it!!!
He is kinda Justin Timberlake…this guy is ok and sings good but i prefere JT…
He sang with ricky martin the song "Its all right" but in french
He moves like a JT copy.
okay first of all, was it just me or was he like a bad version of justin timberlake, i use to have faith in timbaland, but tht performance says it all , he's is looking for some jt wannabe who can't memorize lyrics, come on, tht song was a piece of crap!! GET SOME NEW LYRICS, WE KNOW THAT GIRL IS DANGEROUS, YOU'VE ONLY SAID IT ABOUT 7 BILLION TIMES LOL, peace out timbaland, at least you had a few good hits with your artists
poor justin timberlake copie
Ithink this man is handsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The music is good and the guy is hot !!!! i wanna have fun with him
Weak. There is so much potential there and they just got lazy with the lyrics, moves and all. Maybe that is french standards, but Timbaland should be able to wow us better than that.
Hello! my name is M.pokora and I desperatly wanna be justin timberlake..
That was so sad
I have to tell u guys, i'am french, his songs in french ARE SO BAD!!!!! everything is like "come with me on the dancefloor" bad songs anyway!!!!
and this one is not gonna be a succes!
omg….i am french and i have look the nrj award but m.p, he was just very very ridiculous last night!!! AND he gives a bad picture of france because he copies justin t. …. ohh so so hard!!! and he sing in english AHAHAHAH bad accent!!! en plus peu de français l'aime…mdr
byee
JT Wannabe??
EXCUSE ME TIMBALAND EXISTED WAY BEFORE MATT POKORA (TIMBALAND AND MAGOO) THIS FRENCH JUSTIN WANABEE IS A PRODUCT OF REALITY SHOW LIKE AMERICAN IDOL CHEAP VERSION…HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SING ALL THE FRENCH KNOW THAT ….HIS FANS KIDS FROM 5YEARS OLD TO 13 YEARS….HE S PATHETIC PLEASE DON T THINK THAT HE REPRESENT FRENCH ARTIST…HE IS LAME……TRYING SO HARD TO BE LIKEV JUSTIN THAT IT S FUNNY BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE LEVEL….WE SAW HIS PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT LIVE AT THIS AWARD SHOW AND WE WERE ALL CRACKING UP….WHITE BOY PLEAAAAAAASE
I love Matt Pokora, but this just makes me sad. The most boring single he has released. And why loose the french? Now he's just like JT -booring, we already have him. F*ck im upset!
Hum normal its a bit like Justin mind that Justin is his idol from the beginning! Outside he didn't totally his style of dress, yes, but usually its quite different! When there was music, I love therefore now before I didn't M. Pokora, his music was not very good, fortunately that came Timbaland, phew.
After for comparison with Kevin Federline lol, my God the poor Matt, there are still far more beautiful … I would see very well become the new boyfriend of Britney hahaaa ..
Ok, first of all LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL at this wannabe JT who cannot even carry JT's tiny little jockstrap. The French are too funny. And I guess that rumor about Timbaland and Justin breaking up might be true after all. What could explain this other than an attempt to make Justin jealous?
But more importantly where did the JT cheating post go??? I wanted to hear more about that bizarro 'Justin's boyfriend in ICU in La Jolla' story. Can someone fill me in on that??? And I have to cover my ass by saying if there is any truth to it, it is very sad and not something to joke about. But I still want to hear it.
LOL !! Trust me i'm french and this guy is such a loser. he comes from a tv show like american idol. nobody likes him in france except teenage girls.
this guy is already well known in france, and i kinda hope he had stop singing!!! he is mostly know for being a ridiculous wanabe justin!! this video, like all his songs are shit! he's ridiculous! please, do not think all our singers are just like this idiot! why do we always have to be know for our worst "artist"??
This guy is crap, like all the french variety. He's just a bad copy of Justin Timberlake.
Here in France he's a total has been, everybody is laughing at him except youg teens (girls)
so I really don't know why timbaland is producing him???
Please, if you want great french music, listen to Justice, Yelle, and Ed Banger records. THIS is music!
His song is cheesy. He looks like KFed's long lost French brother.
He dresses kind of like KFed. But KFed will not wear skinny jeans. Wearing tight pants is the European thing, it's gay.
he looks JUST LIKE justine timberlake!! he's dressed like him, he dances like him, the song itself sounds like one of his last songs!
gimme a break!
He sounds like JT mixed with New Kids and looks like a cute Kevin Federline..I dunno, it doesn't really grab me
Matt Pokora is the shame of France, he is really "has been" here. He comes from my city, i know him and he doesn't even know an english word! SUCKER LOSER
that was actually really bad.
c'est justine copier coller,d'ailleur hier j'ai cru que cété justine quand la chanson a commencer,il été tourné moi j'aime bien matt pokora parceque il est beau je l'ai vu une fois dans une camera caché il est cool aussi,sinon le style musical pas trop sa se voit qu'il copie jusitine et ça depuis c'est début.
timbaland is wack. this fake JT is wack. Timbaland wants people to think that he made JT hot. Clearly, that's some BS
okay okay. WTF??? PErez, where have you been? M. Pokora has been around in france for EVER! damn.
M POKORA IS HUGE IN FRANCE AND HOT AS HELL. listen to 'Showbiz'
i love this song!!!
To clear things up for some people who dont Know how to read or just dont know whats going on.
This is Not Kevin Federline or a Jt copy
also he is not New, he is a French Singer, he has been making music for a while. and
he is trying to be justin timberlake.. not good.
i like justin but there can be only one…
HI ! everybody in France hates MATT POKORA (M.POKORA) he's a human bullshit , he sucks He's a asshole he's THE asshole .everybody in france is choked by this perfomance at the nrj music awards ! he look just like Justin timberlake (but he's just a loser, he's has been, we don't give a fuck about him and if he could stay in L.A it will be great for us !
j'espere que Timbaland realisera qu'il a fait une grosse grosse betise
M.pokora is ridiculous a real shit !
LOVE YOU PEREZ AND SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH !
A FRENCH FAN
TOTALLY AWFUL. What a joke. This reveals that Timbaland is not the amazing producer that everyone thinks he is. This dude is a JT rip off and the song sounds just like THE WAY I ARE. I hope hope hope Madonna's new album does not sound like this.
this is the best r'n'b song we ever had in France by a french haha
it's true it's a bit too boys band but i'm impatient to hear the rest of the album.
merci monsieur Timbo
okay so i think that guy was kinda awesome.. well largely in part due to Timbaland, the track was hot but yeah.. he's kinda like a Justin Federline or a Kevin Timberlake… take your pick. lol
The thing is, Pokora is not new at all on the french music stage… I wouldn't say he's a great singer but at least he's lasting. The fact people are saying that he's trying to be the new Justin Timberlake… Come on guys! Do you know any french guy who has been recognized worldwilde except with electro music bands?? Don't think so… I don't think he's pretentious. Think his ambition is more local.
Few words on the song, I like it. Don't think it's like what Justin does. Same style but I don't recognize Justin in it. I like the way he moves also. He has done some progress to me.
A french fan of Perez!
matt pokora is the saddest thing that ever happened to french r&b, what the hell is he doing on your blog perez? ugh he makes me and half of france GAG.
GO TO SEE ON YOUTUBE THIS BAND ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey!!
i like it..really..im french and i can say that m pokora isn't making bad songs..just listen to "showbizz"!!
well,i agree that he's trying to be jt BUT the fact that timbo is interessed in him shows that he is probably talented…no?
just to add,m pokora isn't gay,actually he is dated for some time SOPHIA BOUTELLA,famous nike's promo dancer…
just watch out!!he'll be successful,trust me!
haha!! all you guys make me laugh with ur comments, exactly as you guys said, Timbaland always picks the winner so that must been theres something Matt has that you guys can't see and thats normal coz you're not music producers. I'm not sure why you guys are hating on Matt Pokora, its not his fault he was picked to be in the song. Anyway, i think he's an amazing singer, dancer and i just think hes overall hot!!! He has got talent and i've been listening to his music for years now.
im lovin the white mic
OMG this is freakin' hilarious!!
M.Pokora was like the biggest white trash wanna be gangsta loser even after winning some stupid French reality show to be part of a ridiculous boys band that never made it! He then started "singing" horrible French rap slash r&b songs solo…………… Nice reconversion into a bad version of JT, freak!
He is very cute but he wanna be J.Timberlake since a long time in France and his fans are 12-year-old little girls…lol
First of all, i'm sorry for my english!!!
ok, this song is not the song of the year but Matt is not a bad singer, he has a beautiful voice ( hum yes, not really in this song). He is a famous singer in France, Belgium,… You sould listen his other songs, and see his videos. After that, you could give your opinion, but not only with this video…
who cares if he dresses similar to justin - and when did justin became so fukken great anyway? he was the ugly curly hair kid from NSYNC and he had 10 yr old girls following him around. just because he grew up, made more money and lost his shitty hair and boyband style doesn't make him anything special. he's banal.
M.Pokora est tros canon / He is so sex. He is the equivalent of Justin T with more tatoos and less talent but he has enough.
Franchement il est canon, il sait chanter, danser. Mais il ne pourra jamais vraiment être le Justin Timberlake français, et je suis surprise que Timbaland l'est ressorti on ne le voyait plus à part pour Fight Aids Monaco.
This guy just looks like a Justin Timberlake clone. Also thing it's weird that all of Timberland's songs as of late all sound the same at the beginning.
Sounds, looks, dances just like Justin Timberlake. Timberland has made the first real human clone! This guy is not very impressing or new. ::shrug::
Are you kidding me? I'm French and this guy is desperately trying to look like Justin Timberlake. The only problem is that he IS NOT. Actually despite the 13 years old girls, this guy is made fun of all around France. What a pity…
i mean come on..this guy needs his own style! timbo what the hell..he tries to hard to be justin.and the song sucks! there's so much talent in this world and tim picks up him..horrible!
il chante mieux en français, mais il reste aussi kitch dans les deux langues.
il essaie d'imiter Justin. and no one can be like Justin.
Timbaland is a fucking awesome producer…the beats are HOT! The vocals aren't that great, though.
dude.
how big is timab's ego that he has to be projected behind the star of the song like godzilla?
he's hot. its pure pop. like britney used to be…something to dance to.
I'm french and I just wanted to set a few things straight !! First, unlike afew here have been claiming, M.Pokora is not hated all across France. FYI I'm not saying that because I'm a fan, I'm actually really not into the kind of music he usually does but I think it's important that you guys have at least one objective post on this subject.
He's been in the music business for more than 4 years now. Given he's 4 years younger than JT, it's not that bad for his age considering Justin really exploded as a solo artist by the end of 2002…
Furthermore, don't forget he's singing live… unlike most of the american artists when they appear in TV in France (even if I must admit, this tendency is slightly falling). Have you ever heard JT live? He's not that excellent either… even if his songs usually really rocks !
Well all that to say, just give him a chance and don't be so harsh on him !
Matt pokora …. yay
from the group Linkup
I Miss you guyss
Je vous aime

Justin Timberlake WannaBe.
Ughhhhhh.
IHi, it's Britney, bitch!
PH, hook me up with his number, I wanna have his babies!
OMG !!!!!!
I'm parisienne, and back there everyone a little mature and over 12 years old thinks M. Pokora is a total has been…
Can't believe Timberland chose him as his protégé, he sucks so much… Ce mec craint à mort…

UGH!, ALMOST EVERYTHING DONE BY TIMBERLAND SOUNDS LIKE THE BEATS HE DID BEFORE, he is overated, and wtfuck is his BIG ASS in the background!!!
At first, when one of my friends who's Pokora's artistic director or someting told me Timbaland was gonna work with him 6 or 7 months ago, I couldn't believe it. M.P is awful, he's lame, and his audience is about 12 years old. He used to be in a reality tv boys band !!! My friend told me Timbaland didn't d it because he believed MP was a great singer, but because he had something Timbaland needed, so he accepted to produce some songs for him, just to get it. I hope no one in America will buy any of his cds, or maybe you could take him…and keep him, because we don't want him in France….
Perez, I just love your blog, I check it everyday…You're great !!!
i love this song! The 25th march i going to buy this single! it rock!!! Love you perez you're the best!
kiss!!!
Cheesy, gay, straight, old, new…. talent, no talent. Guilty pleasure: he'e effin hot! (just googled images of him : ) )
I forget. What was the girl? Was she? Dangerous. That video was dangerously close to making me fall asleep. what crap. But I'm sure you would let him do you, Perez.
why is it when it's a white dude who dances while he sings they say "boyband moves" but when someone else sings and dances (usher for example) they dont say that stuff?

sounds / looks like a bad justin.
negative on him.
timbaland is wasting his time.
Well, believe it or not, he already has quite a career over here in Europe… Undeniably lots of ppl believe him to be good lookin, but theres no question tht his musics always been a joke. Rap francais koi hahaha
HE IS INTERESTING. CAN DANCE. WILL SEE WHAT BECOMES OF HIM……
what is the point of this nonsense?
same music from 3 years ago over a weak imitation hook of Jacko's REAL Dangerous tune….
how many times does he say 'Dangerous' in this track before you wanna unplug his microphone?
no wonder the USA is heading for a major recession with poor quality like this…
he reminds me of a baad version of justin. and he's not a very good dancer…just saying.
The guy thinks hes justin freakin timberlake, give me a break. It's not his fault though…he does what producers(and little girls..) want. Hes been around for quite a while and every time JT does sthg new, 2 months later the French dude comes up with the exact same thing. I mean look at his clothes….the tie and stuff
Not bad… but he really reminds me a lot of Justin Timberlake… dont ya think?
JT WANNABE IF YOU ASK ME
PEREZ CAN YOU GIVE STRAIGHT INFORMATION IN YOUR SITE INSTEAD OF SPREADING SHIT ?
MATT POKORA IS A FRENCH RNB SINGER AND DIDNT WAIT ON TIMBO TO MAKE IT BIG HE IS KIND OF SUCCESSFUL FOR YEARS NOWW HE IS NOT NEW
AND WHY ARE YOU DISSING JLO THOSE TIMES? MAKE UP YOUR MIND PLEASEEEE
matt pokora is huge here in france, and his previous songs are even better I think…
perez, you should check on him, he's got very sexy pictures half naked
he looks like a justin timberlake wannabe but not as good, obviously
Actually looks like Justin Timberlake but - REALLY BAD BAD IMITATION!!!!!
Sorry
Unfitney's next Boy Toy! He looks like K-Fed!
