@@sabrinaa3758 I think cheating is wrong and, since I don't know him, I can't draw any definite conclusions about him, but I have to disagree with you. That was about twenty years ago.

Justin's character is just weak. It's evidence by the way he treated Janet, Britney, Prince, Michael Jackson and NSYNC. People are just now waking up to it.

Another song that I think is called Ghostin' kind of explains why she and Pete broke up- she still had Mac Miller on her mind. JT on the other hand just milks them after 10 years.

She cheated, don't you think it's possible that he was just genuinly hurt? Did Cry me a river sound fake to you? Then Timbaland is a liar too, because he said that Justin wrote and recorded that song after a phone call with Britney where he was very hurt. She cheated, so why even defend her?

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

Leli Dawi 1) We don’t know the full story of what happened between them 2) I liked Cry Me A River and never said I didn’t and 3) my point was that for years, to this day even, anytime he needed to drum up some publicity he would bring that up again and insult her 🤷🏻‍♂️ feels slimy to me, just like how he didn’t step up and defend Janet felt slimy too

[@lelidawi2446]

@@delusionsofgrandeur1330 I think that the reason why he is sick of people bringing up Janet today is because it happened when he was basically a teenager, he's 40 now, and he's already apologized for not doing enough and said on TV that "america is too hard on women" in 2006. He probably didn't speak up about it earlier because he's a shy person who avoids drama, and he probably didn't feel that it was his fault because it was an accident. You should really blame all the radio stations and tv channels that blacklisted Janet, and the christians who were outraged about some boobs - don't blame it all on Justin. How would you feel if people kept bringing up an accident that happened when you were 20 years younger? And also, if it was planned, then Janet was in on it. Sooo... Either way, it's not Justin's fault. It's nobodies fault, except for the people who judged her for it.

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

Leli Dawi 💁🏻‍♂️ True but he had the chance to make things right when he most recently did the Super Bowl Half Time show by insisting they also include Janet .. unfortunately that didn’t happen, and I think it was a big missed opportunity. In fact media reports said that he promised his former band mates much more time on stage than they actually got on and they felt mislead and upset. That’s kinda my point - even when given the chance he continues to skirt doing the right thing and wants all the attention to himself ... and his crappy album still flopped hard

The reason no one likes Justin Timberlake is because he isn't trendy anymore. Celebrities don't have the same shelf life like they used to. Nowadays everyone gets famous quick but loses their fame to the next younger, trendier, hotter up and coming star. Well it's been this way forever but now it's happening at a much more accelerated pace.

[@Honeycomblife]

The JANET JACKSON debacle turned off alot of people not only her fans & Jackson family fans but women and black people as well. And leaving Nsync behind in the dust affected the teen pop fans of the late 90's and 00's(there is a nostalgia market out there too) and lastly not working things out with Britney especially during her dark time affected the britney fanbase and the gays. So theres really no audience left !

[@Gee-xb7rt]

Britney knows her fan base isn't gen z, and does shows in Vegas because of it, Gaga is even taking notes. JT seems to not know who he is or who his fans are at all.

[@asideofaioli4630]

Let's be honest, nsync wasn't going to survive forever. And I was a super fan. Posters, every album, concerts, etc. Boy bands only last as long as the teen girls who initially fell in love with them. They're lame to the newer generations coming in, and those who were once their teen fans grow out of being into boy bands. But yeah, there's nothing wrong with evolving or wanting something different for yourself. I don't get why people punish others for making decisions for the betterment of their own lives. Being shady, a manipulator or a user is not okay, so if those things are involved in people's "changes" of course that's wrong. But do we really know the circumstances of the band's split? Was there any wrong doing? Did the other band members even take it personally? Or is it just fans making presumptions...idk. It just bothers me when, for example, a band is attacked for going a different direction musically, or an athlete for changing teams, as if all their decisions should be approved by the masses. We get to live for ourselves, why can't famous people?

Apparently, NSYNC agreed and was supposed to make another album after “Justified”, however, he just bounced and ditched them. Joey Fatone talks more about this on Jenny McCarthy’s podcast. He said he and the group didn’t mind if JT wanted to continue on with his solo career but it would’ve been nice if he told the other guys, so they could’ve picked up other projects. They didn’t bc they thought he was going to come back to do the NSYNC album...so basically Jt lead them on or was a coward not to tell them. I also find him arrogant - like he was doing NSYNC a favor by adding them to his JT VMA Tribute. He knew people would love it and watch, which was why it was the only reason he invited them to perform. I think people are just over JT and want NSYNC back... and he does not like that.

JC was a zillion times more talented than narcissist Justin whom I can’t stand. He backstabbed the whole team, back in the day, working on his music secretly and delaying the band’s regrouping mostly, I suspect, in an attempt to eliminate any competition from a talented peer like JC. And when JC put out his debut album, he had a long hand in sabotaging his career along with Jive records by orchestrating a public humiliation of JC at NFL’s Prebowl. Not only that but he also stole the feel of many of the songs of JC’s solo album when developing his second album. I’m glad to learn that his career is now stalling; not much of a loss. I’m still keen to hear more from JC though. That man can sing and it was evident from *NSYNC‘s stint with Ariana Grande that the band could do very well without Justin or Justin’s weak voice.

I'll never forget he and his wedding guests laughing at and making fun of homeless people. I think the constant MJ comparisons in his youth (which were kind of unwarranted because dude's skills are only slightly above average) got to his head and he thought he would forever be invincible, especially after he skated away from that 2004 halftime controversy and was allowed to continue to flourish while the legendary Janet Jackson was blackballed for several years.

But Britney fans are delusional, think jt still talks about her?she literally just posted a video of her dancing to a jt song...yes cry me a river was about Britney. So? Why do we praise women for writing/speaking when they’re done wrong but trash men for it?2. If you did actual research you would know Janet begged jt to join at Super Bowl but he was on tour so could only rehearse last minute. She had asked producers if he could rip a skirt off of her at the end and was told no!so she hid the bra rip off from everyone and jt didn’t know.he has just started his solo career and this could have really hurt him if anything Janet should apologize to it but again he has multiple times been the bigger person and stood up for her!!3. Prince and jt had a friendly/joking competition with each other. Multiple friends of prince have said this including quest love. Jt even DJ’ed for one of princes parties the year before he died.

People don't like Justin Timberlake anymore, because he's a culture vulture. All of his appeal, was wrapped up in Blackness (singing Pop R&B, ALL of his big songs being produced by Timbaland) and once it was stripped away (a pop/country album, a Trolls song), it showed who we really was; someone using Black appeal for his own gain.

Mario Miguel Scharer why do you consider the vocals on Lemonade as her weakest yet?

[@mandm471]

Kalmanta 18 because they are. Beyoncé has established herself as a vocal heavy, VOCALIST up until the 4 album. But after that she does a lot of talk singing and honestly Rihanna (who’s a basic singer) could sing all the songs on Lemonade and “Beyoncé”. Not saying Beyoncé sounds bad, she always sounds beautiful, she just isn’t serving VOCALIST anymore, she’s doing a lot of talk singing

I’m not going to lie, Cry Me A River is one of my favorite bops from the 2000s but without Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince and his ex, Britney Spears, he wouldn’t be where he is today.

Back on topic, are the other members of NSYNC really open to another album with Justin? It seems kind of risky, lol.

Justin Timberlake is an incredible pop star. Thats all that matters. His 4 albums before MOTW were damn near flawless imo and MOTW aint even that bad, the first half of the album has bangerss.

Imagine the coverage if Britney or Janet (or Both) 😱 popped up from underneath the stage.

[@normacasini838]

Also, the lies and shade he threw at Britney when he knew what she was going through during her 13 years of conservatorship...not really any apology that was of any substance to her or Janet. Just look at the Diane Sawyer interview with Britney on KZbin where Diane is pointing all fingers at Britney, accusing her of hurting him---gimme a break; you know he lapped that up and manipulated the media with that crap story. He even cheated on his wife, Jessica Biel... a loser through and through. He's a whiny, shallow punk, isn't relevant, and hides from the damage his lies caused, so he doesn't mean much to many people anymore. One's character speaks loud and clear regardless of whatever hits you have had - including when he disrespected his former bandmates, NSYNC - especially Lance Bass. That would be different if he were sincere to the people he trashed and made himself accountable. It was good he sold his song catalog for a million bucks; I think he needs the money for an early retirement.
