It ain't even as good as rubbish.

I am SOOOOO disappointed. This song is utter crap, unmemorable, dull... I mean it has some potential, but come on, give me some melody for Christ's sake! The beat is nice but the production sounds like European techno from mid 1990s! Besides, it merely rips off Maneater... Has Timbaland's artistic demise got into full swing?

Someone on the org once said he sounds like a gay pimp on the track..and the more I listen to it..the more I agree.

this guy tries to hard. at what? i'm not entirely sure.

check out the absurdity of this statement:

www.mtv.com/news/articles...lines=true

"I wanted to sing the song like a rock and roll singer, not an R&B singer," he said. "That's the approach."

Timberlake modeled himself after David Bowie and Prince, and describes "SexyBack" as Bowie and David Byrne covering James Brown's "Sex Machine." "That's the closest I could come," he said. "That's all of my influences for that song."

"SexyBack" doesn't qualify as rock or straight funk — and for now, Timberlake's happy with the description "club funk."

you know, that's exactly what i thought when i heard the song...

vanity69 said:

At least he's aiming real high. James Brown, David Byrne and David Bowis all in one song? That's a tall order even for a seasoned artist.

Amen to that

From the mtv.com story on Justin’s new single, "Sexyback":

The singer fleshed out the concept for the clip with director Michael Hausmann, picked for his work on Madonna’s "Take a Bow."

"It’s one of my favorite videos Madonna’s ever done," Timberlake said. "Even today, I still remember the visuals, the images, how he captured her. A lot of times, Madonna seems like she’s the person in control, and in that video, she seemed vulnerable. It was a cool thing to see."

Because "SexyBack" isn’t exactly about Timberlake’s vulnerable side (in the song, he boasts, "If that’s your girl, better watch your back"), the video will have a very different approach than "Take a Bow."

"It’s like a small film," Timberlake said, without giving away the details. "I’ve yet to see it. I hope it’s cool."

I thought it sounded like Janet, too.

Anyway, I'm ashamed to say that I really like this song.

not bad, not bad at all


what is wrong with me?

nothing. the song is hot. if it were the new prince song peeps here would be shouting from the hilltops how great it is.

sallysassalot said:

Um, no I wouldn't. I think I'm a fair listener. I don't think you'd even give the song a listen it if it weren't Justin.

no,
no,
no,
hell no.
come on now

Timbaland is running out of ideas. Pretty lame.

JasonStar said:

Like THE Gay Pimp. He's a comedian who makes parody music videos. Look him up online.

sallysassalot said:

Most of the people in Music: Non-Prince haven't really been into Prince for at least 10 years now and don't hang out on Princ: Music & More. Hell, even Ben is over Prince. C'mon, you know better.

if you liked newpowersoul at all when it was released, you are not permitted to bash justin's new song.

I got nothing against the guy, liked the singles off the last album.

This is so unbelievably uninteresting.

i went over there today to crack a joke and share an experience i had to today with an news headline that read "prince, wife die in calif. car crash" and they all but had a breakdown. i had to request the thread be removed in order to spare anyone a coronary.

yeah, i don't go there much.

sallysassalot said:

Cuz it's scary. If you don't know the trim of his briss or what he was thinking yesterday while he ate (or almost ate, the twiggy bitch) his breakfast they try and laugh you outta there like you're ignorant.

Quite simple. Most of you will be the people with your drinks in the club belly aching about how this song is this and that, while the rest of the party is out on the dancefloor.

This is a GREAT club song. THIS is how you promote an album, with an awsome club song that will get lots of dj spins. Anybody remember Gett Off? Summertime club jam? Hello!?

Dauphin said:

exactly! i'll be on the floor in a second when this comes on. and this single will get play on radio and generate interest. it doesn't sound like anything else on radio.

vanity69 said:

oh shit, it does sound like gay pimp but even that song is stupid so.....he can't win

it reminds me of Loser my breath by DDC too.

In a word.....BOOOOO!!!!

I admit I don't hate it. It's more exciting than Janet's new single.

sextonseven said:

Janet's new single is just kind of boring....this one smacks you in the face with irritation! I tried to give it a chance but what the fuck? How does Timabland go from something as hot as "Promosicous" to something this clunky. And Justin, Timbaland....do people a favor and don't mention that Prince is an influence (although it, sadly, is Princely, Princish....whatever). It almost sounds like "Black Sweat" gone terribly wrong (and I love "Black Sweat").
