I remember an article around the time Justified dropped, that someone said, Justin had a hard uphill battle, because he had to deal with, people not being ashamed to like him or his music, because of his boyband past. (Mainly with his male audience, or at the time, lack thereof.)

So I was just curious, to all the males that are into Justin's music, do you hide your cds of his? Is it a guilty pleasure? Or does that even matter to you?

Can't hide whatcha never bought


He lost points with me when that so-call malfunction thing happen...


And he punked out on Janet....

I don't own them and never will.

But if I did, I most certainly WOULD hide them. A Justin CD is like child porn. You should never - under any circumstances - be in posession of it.

I don't own any CDs but I did download one song once and I quickly skipped past it as fast as I could when I was demonstrating something to someone on my iPod and it came up on Shuffle I deleted it after that.

It says a lot considering some of the embarassing shit I don't hide from people.

I kinda knew it would happen but it was hilarious to see:

A couple weekends ago I DJ'd a sweaty summer house party and everyone in the house was dancing to Snoop Doggy Dogg "Gin And Juice".

The next song I put on removed all of the men (from the couples!) and left only females remaining on the dancefloor.

The song? Justin Timberlake "Summer Love"

They couldn't even REMAIN DANCING with the girl they were already with!

Timberfake has that effect on every guy. Too bad you didn't take pics and put it on Youtube.

Not to jacko the thread, but when DJing I noticed the real King Of Pop's music could SAVE a dancefloor. (Old) MJ has the effect of making everyone dance.

walked off the street. Since than Ive not listned

I don't need to, don't own any.

i downloaded half of the recent cd. they're good. shit, its better than the crap prince is serving up right now.

but to answer, i would never hide my music. first of all, it's just music and certainly ain't nothing worth being ashamed of. second of all, i don't have friends who would judge me based on music.

besides, i still own my spice girls stuff...and listen to them, too.

I legally downloaded his first album but hate his latest. Wouldn't buy his stuff anymore. You can outgrow Justin.

Cinnie said:

yeah boy!

I won't even confirm or deny whether or not I have a Jutin Timberlake CD

Just by self-proclaimed Justin-haters.

I mean, it is SO childish it is silly. His singles RULE. People buy it by droves or they wouldn't by hits.

Our men aren't that uptight (as the males at Cinne's party); when we play him, even Beatles fans dance. Well, the last party I was at, that's what happened. And it was all music snobs there. Let's call loving Justin Timberlake avant-garde.

Listen. I ain't a huge fan. I just always noisily defend him because his haters here are SO, well, more childish than the boyband he was in, back in the day.

I just love, love, love his singles, which I think are fun. His albums I do not like as much, but he is a fledgeling and he gets better and better, I think.

Sure, he is white trash. Common, he dated Britney Spears. But daaaamn, Rock Your Body is classic.

HamsterHuey said:

hehe They were all about 19-21 and I'm pretty sure those 1998-2000 boybands were targeted squarely at their "tween" generation. Maybe they still remember him all too well from *NStynk

Turn in your funk card if you do!

funkpill said:

....uh....did not!

his latest music reminds me so much of prince and mj with some george michael so yes I have his CD's and play them time to time though I hate him as a person and think he's cocky. I love timbaland's sound so naturally I like the CD as well. I bought FSLS because the money was going towards a good cause, it was from a craft sale at a hospital around holiday time and they happened to have few CD's including that.

Excatly. His music isn't bad hut it just isn't a priority. I mean, just off the top of my head, I don't have any CDs by Aretha!

I don't care about the boyband past but the Janet thing was fucked up. I hide my timberlake CD and I went to his concert in April.
