Justin Timberlake Does the Dance Music Divas

Justin Timberlake's current "4 Minutes" hit with Madonna is not his first flirtation with an older dance music diva. Justin's been down that path before with Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue and Nelly Furtado.

Justin's now infamous Superbowl performance with Janet Jackson resulted in a scandal that was, well, worthy of two of the biggest popstars on the planet. At the end of "Rock Your Body", Justin sang "gonna have you naked by the end of this song", reached over and tore the fabric off Jackson's costume, exposing her breast. The resulting media uproar led to Jackson being banned from the Grammy's, a public apology and a fine for CBS Television.

Bad boy Justin also tore it with Kylie Minogue, live on the Brits. As the pair spooned their way through a cover of Blondie's "Rapture", Timberlake reached down and grabbed Minogue's bottom.

Dance Music Remake: Sexual (Li Da Di), Mariah Carey and Timbaland

"Dance Music Remakes" features our "wish list" of tracks that we'd like to see remade or covered by today's hottest artists and most in demand producers. Our first ever pick: "Sexual (Li Da Di)".

"Sexual (Li Da Di)" is the worldwide 1999 club hit by dance music star Amber. The infectious track was penned by Amber (Marie Clare Cremers) with hitmakers Rick Nowels (Dido, Nelly Furtado) and Billy Steinberg (Madonna, Celine Dion).

In our version, the track would be sung by Mariah Carey. Throughout her storied career, Carey has recorded covers to boost the hit count of her CDs. She's covered "Without You", "Open Arms" by Journey, and "I'll Be There" by the Jackson 5 and so many others. "Sexual (Li Da Di)" would be the perfect fit for Carey's voice and persona.

And production honors go to...perhaps the hottest producer in the world today, Timbaland. Lately, the man is everywhere. He's produced hits like "Sexyback" for Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous", and his own "The Way I Are". His latest hit is Madonna's U.S. chart comeback single "4 Minutes".
