No I didn't watch it.

Yes it's petty.

But....just 3 months after Justin Timberlake declared Prince was the ultimate...he shows up on the Teen Choice Awards and thanks all the greats who inspired him...Michael Jackson, Stevie, Aretha, etc. quotes Ali...but nary a peep on our man.

Of course it's meaningless in the big scheme but it just bothers me.

He's gone three months and, for some, it's like he's gone.

Pfft. He's blatantly ripped off Prince along with Stevie and MJ. I know very little about JT outside the big hits and even I can tell that.

That said, they had minor beef, n'est-ce-pas? And maybe he thinks it's gauche to name-drop Prince so soon after his passing now that everyone is driving around blasting The Very Best of...

JT is no instrumentalist, and I appreciate his purposeful, non-name dropping.

Respectful.

That being said, they both had/have exceptional comedic gifts, in addition to certain musical gifts and long-term stardom aspects in common as well.

Timing is everything, just sayin'. Wait for it.....

JT is super fake because JT has mentioned Prince inspired him as well over the years. At one point, he mentioned Prince as an inspiration more so than MJ especially during the MJ trial. On Future/Sexx album that album's sound is completely inspired by Prince. JT has never mentioned Aretha Franklin as an influence so not sure why he mentioned her in his speech. Sometimes these stars just name drop certain names to be politically correct but one thing is for sure JT is the ultimate culture vulture and is beyond overrated.

Never cared about anything he ever had to say and still don't.

JT has been a disappointment since Nipplegate.

JT? You mean the singer from Kool & The Gang?

Oh, you mean that kid from Nsync. Well, they say if you can't say nothin' nice.....

Carry on.

He better not give any credit to Prince after releasing that piece of garbage pop mess, "Can't Stop The Feeling" or whatever the fuck generic ass title he gave it.

Timberlake's touring band from the SexyBack era was the NPG, but I think it was Timbaland who was influenced by Prince and brought that angle in.

I have zero expectations for a singing squirel

AHAH HA HA

Alot of the disappointment towards JT is because of the way he treated Janet over the Superbowl backlash. He also likes to jump on bandwagons when its convenient to him.....and when the chips are down he is like a ghost. Plus alot of peope still remember the Prince diss in Give It to Me. The bottom line is some just don't like the phony vibes from JT. However, I still like some of his songs, and he was pretty good in The Social Network (2010).

who cares what Justin Timberlake says or thinks?

he will go down in history as an absolute artistic and creative nobody-- mark my words

This thread is exactly what is wrong with the world . . .

And as usual, the same people who hate Justin Timberlake the most are the ones who are
doing the most posting. There's something wrong with the Org and with people in the inter-
net sphere, to be exact, where we love tear people down - gleefully. I bet some of y'all in
this thread couldn't wait to get in here and lambaste this dude.

Do you think Prince, "our man," would approve of all the negativity in this forum regarding
Justin Timberlake? Yeah, there was Prince's quip about "sexy back" but he wasn't tearing
Justin Timberlake to pieces; it was good natured. Jeezus; if you hate Justin Timberlake so
much, why even bother posting in Justin Timberlake threads? I know why: you get a morbid
kick outta beating this dude up because he's not what you want him to be.

"He's fake"

"He sounds like a squirrel"
"He'll be forgotten"
"Who cares what he thinks?"
"His music is poop"

Guess what? All of us are fake sometimes. When we sing, most of us absolutely suck. Most
of us will be forgotten when we pass away. And the world does not give a fuck what we think.
But boy, oh boy, we love to get together and belittle people trying to do their thing.

You guys are something else; sometimes, me included. And I should probably stop defending
this dude and stop coming in these negative threads that are really just too much. Have fun.
I forgot to add:

Love is heaven sent . . .

. . . it's glamorous.

As if he wrote his speech or as if a thought ever occurred in that air head. Hot piece, tho.

He and Beyonce should go on Jeopardy and see who gets the lower score

Some of us don't hate Timberlake...we are just indifferent one way or the other.

I agree with the sentiments of this rant.

We could all do better.

LOL

I agree Justin is not the brightest bulb on the lamp. He benefits mostly from his white priveledge.
