After several false starts, Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke finally appeared in court Tuesday for a trial to determine whether their hit "Blurred Lines" infringes the copyright of Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up."
The stakes of the estimated eight-day trial may be high, but Thicke appeared unfazed as the court convened in the morning to select a jury to decide the high-profile copyright case.
The R&B singer, dressed in a gray suit, frequently made eye contact with prospective jurors and beamed at the assembled media and public.
Pharrell appeared subdued. Wearing blue jeans and a jacket over a white shirt, he was straight-faced throughout proceedings.
Originally scheduled to start Feb. 10, the trial was postponed to Feb. 17, then U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt delayed it again to hear a criminal trial.
Tuesday morning, prospective jurors filed into the courtroom as proceedings got under way.
