Chris Brown's impressive dance routine at MTV's Video Music Awards had Justin Timberlake feeling his age.
"Nobody likes to be reminded that they're getting older," Timberlake said while accepting his award for best male artist Sunday night. "And whatever (18-year-old R&B singer) Chris Brown just did, reminded me how much I'm getting older, 'cause damn."
Timberlake added that he was excited to see a new generation of artists, a pronouncement that a 26-year-old former boy-band member can only make at the youth-obsessed VMAs.
Timberlake also twice asked MTV to revert to its video-playing ways of the ol' days.
"Play more damn videos. We don't want to see the Simpsons on reality television," said Timberlake, referring to Jessica and Ashley Simpson.
