Justin mentioned Esmee during his recent interview with EW magazine.

EW: How did you decide to sign 18-year-old Netherlands native and Internet phenom Esmée Denters as your first artist?

Justin Timberlake: Being in the business for 10 years now, you look around and some people got it and some don’t. I saw her on YouTube, got wind of what was happening — “Hey, there’s this girl in Holland who’s got a phenomenal voice.” The word “phenomenal” in front of “voice” doesn’t come often. Usually you hear, “She’s pretty good, but there’s this great song,” which is usually bulls—. So I turned on YouTube and I was literally blown away — not only by her voice, but also her ear. I love the chance to discover talent so raw. And now I can just kind of sit back and help her mold herself into a superstar. - See Hollywood Gossip for a complete transcript of the EW interview with Justin.
