Justin Timberlake Plays the guitar?

I mean I guess that would make sense since he is into music but I just saw some picture with him on stage with John Mayer jamming at one of John's concerts...apparently they are good friends. I guess I figured any "boy band" member can't play a music intrument. But I've always loved Justin and now I love him more...he would be so stupid to reunite with N Sync--he's fine by himself!!

John Mayer said recently something like "People say they want to shoot all the boy bands...well except Justin Timberlake." I think it was in US magazine.
Let the rain come down...17 days....

actually, a lot of boyband members are more talented than you'd think.


most of them grew up being singers or musicians.


of course, they get a deservedly bad rap for what they do in their late teens and early 20's, but still, most of them did come from chidlhoods filled with musical/singing experience.

You're right Michael Jackson was in a boy band.Though he's fortysomething he still gets a deservedly bad rap.

Not only does he play, but he was teaching Britney at one point. A shame they broke up...she was no doubt on her way to becoming the next Jimi.

who cares if Justin can play guitar or not? His music still sucks and he is still a Michael Jackson wannabee smile

He can't play fucking guitar. He went on TOTP with the Flaming Lips playing a bass guitar too. He was dressed as a pink bunny but he just HELD the guitar!

i've seen him playing the guitar a few times, as well as playing the piano...I'm betting there is a lot more to this one than most people want to admit...but I also think he knows that...he knows that since he's from a boyband, he will have to work much harder to prove himself to gain any legitimacy in the music world...

it does make me laugh, the sheer hatred his name bring out in people...I guess we do make celebrities just to have people to hate and destroy...people are strange

Well the rest of the band were drssed up in suits too and still played live. He's just a credibility WHORE. Justin is smart. He knows what will get him kudos in the media. If he can't do it, he'll either try to learn or fake it. Look at the whole "Frank Sinatra and Coldplay inspired me to do this and that" stuff. Ha, forgetting about a certain comment he'd already made about Sinatra in 2001 (i.e. he'd never heard of him before Jacko personally took time out to clue him up on a few things).

Everything I see Timberlake do is a desperate attempt to fake something that isn't there, and really can't be taught.

how do you even know these things?

i think i've defended justin timberlake here before.

he's a good entertainer in my book.

probably one of the most talented people in popmusic today.

well, at least marketed that way.

i think he's alright.

Well there's the little problem of video footage of him saying these things... and then later forgetting that he said them.

Actually that one comment was on TV when he was talking to the press outside the 30th Anniversary Jacko concerts at Madison Square Garden.
