I’m going with the obvious choice of Where Is The Love. You just know MJ loved it.

There's some good will.i.am produced songs on John Legend's second album "Once Again."
Check out Coming Home - it's a beautiful track and I always imagined MJ killing it:

Nice song, I could see mj do something like that though I don’t like John. Still would have been nice to hear what they worked on for mj

In my defense, I was listening to him years before I discovered he's a bit of a dick.

I always suspected JT was a dick but enjoyed some of his tunes anyway. I stand by Justified as an enjoyable moment. Totally throwaway, but that’s never bothered me. Looking back I probably substituted his singles for a lack of MJ.

I stand by Justified as an enjoyable moment. Totally throwaway, but that’s never bothered me. Looking back I probably substituted his singles for a lack of MJ. I think my issue with Timberlake is not the music or even the rather high likelihood of him being a dick. It's that his music sounds like he just paid the right people for some of their best work. I like The Neptunes - they've done some great stuff over the years, but everytime they produce an artist, it always ends up sounding like The Neptunes featuring that artist on vocals. For example, I was getting into Babyface's solo work a few months back and he did a more contemporary R&B-esque record in the early 00s which featured two songs produced by The Neptunes and they honestly could've been Justin Timberlake songs. Or Gwen Stefani songs. Or Usher songs. I go to a Babyface record to hear the Babyface sound, not The Neptunes. They just have a knack of taking the personality out of an individual. A bit like Prince really, and his protegees - they just sound like Prince. I think a great producer can add their flavour, but still manage to make the artist keep their core identity. It strikes me that Timberlake doesn't have a core identity and if you listen to Justified and think it's a glorious album, then you'd be better off discovering the other work of The Neptunes and their solo efforts than delving further into Timberlake's catalogue, y'know what I mean?

Justin was always a puppet though the producers gave him really good songs

I completely get where you’re coming from, but I’ve just never really approached pop music that I enjoy from a cynical perspective. It’s a bit of fun and is as much about presentation and image as it is about the music. It’s generic, contrived, strategised and designed to be -as Pet Shop Boys say- hit music on the radio. And that’s fine. That’s enough. It doesn’t need to be anything else. Kylie for example. I don’t find her particularly talented at all. I mean what’s her talent? For me she just makes for a great pop star. Why do any of these people need to be talented in any way? I have no interest in The Neptunes -at least right now- I have no interest in Justin Timberlake either. But, if the Rock Your Body video comes on it just reminds me of a place in time I guess. There’s really nothing more to it than just enjoying a moment in time. Im only using JT as an example by the way. I feel at times the people on here think I’m this be massive JT fan lol, and really I’m not. Pop music is an antidote to music snobbery I guess. And that’s partly why I love it. When you grow up with a music snob in your family, it’s really a case of Fuck off and stop analysing every single little thing you insecure little twat! Not you like, but this whole mentality reeks of insecurity to me.
