Should I Let My Daughter See Justin Timberlake? A neighbor is going to invite my 10-year-old daughter to the Justin Timberlake concert in March. Personally, I can't stand the guy - he's a no-talent waif who sounds like a girl. But that's just my opinion. 
What about his show? Anyone seen it? Is his music appropriate for a 10-year-old? Does he curse in his songs? Will listening to the monotonous "SexyBack" live completely hypnotize my daughter and sap all the talent out of her? These are the things that worry me. | |

Are the guys from Prince's Musicology tour still backing him? If so, then I'd say yes - let your kid experience John Blackwell on drums! | |

Oh man - John Blackwell is a friend of my daughter's. He gave her several autographed drumsticks and one of his cymbals on the Musicology tour. Ugh, I don't see how I can tell her she can't see Jophn Blackwell. On the other hand, she doesn't need to be hearing that 12-letter word. Dang, dang, dang. This won't be easy. | |

This won't be easy. how old is your kid? 10? she's heard far worse. i'm sure if you didn't bring it up, it wouldn't even faze her. i mean, i know this one lady who took her 13-year-old son to a rock concert where a guy sang about masturbation then got in a bathtub and pretended to...well...let's not get into that | |

I checked out Timberlake's lyrics - not too bad. Aside from the "MF", I found an "ass" reference and a couple of "bitches". But PINK?!? If I remember, she's addicted to F-bombs. Ugh. | |

Ugh. i dunno. if you can show your daughter that the profanity is unimpressive when compared to the musicianship, it could be a good, even kinda subversive lesson in keeping such things in perspective. | |

It all depends on your child. As the father of a 10 year old, Im speaking from experience. ( nasty incident w/ "Yo Mama").

Just let your daughter go...
It's a good pop show and for the naughty words, kids nowadays know of them that us adults! | |

chance are she has heard the cd (if she wants to see the guy live, she probably has), she's already heard the lyrics. i would try to find out what the live show is like...lots of booty girls onstage or just him, a band, and some dancers...i'd try to find out stuff like that.
you could always conditionally permit her to go, barring any bad stuff you find out about the show once the tour starts. and let her know about that condition up front so its not a shock if something should come to light. 10 is young. i went to a few shows at that age but most were relatively tame. i did see prince when i was about 7 or 8 for the purple rain tour and, frankly, looking back i would not have let my child go to that show. the good news is,at least in this particular scenario, justin timberlake is no prince. the show will probably be fine, though. | |

This only makes me think:
EUA is really the strangest country in the world! I'd love that Sabrina should have exposed her breast like she did in the 80's....on the TVE show! | |

let her go, but if you don't tell it's because you want to be the first person to take to a major act. my mom took me to see Janet 15 years ago? and it was a great bonding experience at the time when i was in middle school You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

you know, when i was a kid i was allowed to see luke skywalker get his hand chopped off in the empire strikes back, but i wasn't allowed to see grease when i was little because they talked about periods. 
honestly, i think the more parents try to shield kids from 'harmful content', the more kids figure out what it is they're being shielded from, and then they wanna go seek it out. better for a parent to take a kid to a movie with a bit of adult stuff going on, so the parent can say 'see? not such a big deal. when you're older it won't even matter. questions?' | |

I think that its a parents responsibility to limit their 10 year old kids access to material that contains "adult content". Thats why its called "adult content". It is intended for...yup, adults.If a child wants to seek out said content, I would consider that part of the game of growing up; your parents keep shit from you that maybe you arent ready for, and you, in turn, do your damndest to reveal its forbidden mysteries. As a kid, I knew that my parents would not approve of me watching "R" rated movies. So what did I do? I watched "Alien", or "Looking for Mr. Goodbar"  or those dirty Cinemax flicks while they were sleeping. If they came into the room I'd already have the first digit of another channel punched into the remote. My point is I knew what their standards were, and to a much lesser degree those standards became my own.
Ironic that this discussion is going on. Sat. my nephew walks past me and he's singing the followng line: " They say..dont drink my penis". Im like What the... turns out he was singing a song from "Lift" by Love and Rockets.(Fittingly titled "Bad for You") A song that I personally downloaded onto the X-box. Im not advocating being over-protective. Just responsible. badforyouedit [Edited 12/6/06 12:06pm] A happy face, A Thumpin Bass, For A Lovin' Race. PEACE. | |

still, is it wrong to have children who will stray away from "adult" content because an adult has demystified it for them, or is it preferable for a child to hide their dirty movie watching habits from you the way you did from your parents? | |

Why would you want your daughter to see a pubic bum fluff bearded wanker like Timberlake?
whose voice sounds the same as me taking a shit. go take her to see Nick Lachey, at least he cleans himself unlike the homeless tramp that is Timberlake a white boy wigger trying to be black and who has the voice of a 7 year old and the falsetto of a vagina talking to you. | |

Now if she were to ask you for tickets to see acts like The Ying Yang Twins, G-Unit, Lil John, Young Jeezy, And TI. No Way!!

Yep. if my parents hadn't allowed me to see/hear such filth-flarn-flarn-filth then I would not be on the org.  I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |
