Ciara says it is Justin Timberlake's responsibility to make sure Michael Jackson's memory lives on.

The 'Love Sex Magic' singer insists it is down to stars of her generation - including the 'SexyBack' hitmaker, who has copied many of Jackson's trademark dance moves - to embrace the musical legacy of the pop icon, who died of a suspected cardiac arrest last month.

She said: "I don't know anything about Justin putting together a show for Michael but of course I'd love to be involved if anything came to light.

Of course I have slob out days like anyone else. I'm at home for a bit right now and I like to drive around and see people, get together with friends and go out to eat.

"MJ was my biggest inspiration and I was flabbergasted to hear of his death.

"I had so been looking forward to seeing Michael's show in London and finally meeting him. It is important for my generation of musicians to keep his memory alive. We have Justin, Usher, Beyonce Knowles and Ne-Yo."

The 23-year-old star is currently enjoying time off before joining Britney Spears on tour and loves not having to get dressed up every day.

She explained to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Getting glam is so time-consuming sometimes I get moody with it. After I sit in a chair for two hours, I'm so over it.

"Of course I have slob out days like anyone else. I'm at home for a bit right now and I like to drive around and see people, get together with friends and go out to eat."
