Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie (Live on SNL) ft. JAY Z

[@smitty1189]

+xaaxce If that's your opinion, then why would you even bother coming to this video in the first place? BTW JT does create his own music, he writes and produces on every track. Every artist has a " team ", that works with them. Although your opinion is respected, your actual facts supporting your accusations are non existent. Seems your perception is purely from your own eyes, which are clouded due to the obvious personal dislike of him, based on your own taste. I would advise you not to speak for others in the future, because unfortunately for you most people would agree with my comment versus yours, sorry I realize this probably hurts your feelings, but maybe you can take this as a lesson and not come to videos of people you don't like.

[@smitty1189]

+xaaxce For what it's worth I do put Bruno Mars in that " rare " category. He's amazing, I love his music.

[@pokalonta]

+xaaxce Ok mister artist. you seem very pissed off. If you think Bruno Mars and Adam levine are still writing their own music you are the one who has no clue. As a singer you just deliver the message, doesnt matter who wrote the stuff. And not alot of people can do that like JT, THATS a fact. You are just another hate-guy that has to work on his english.

[@smitty1189]

+xaaxce You're a fucking idiot, no hope for lost fucks like you. JT is mega international you moron, everyone plays his shit when he puts something out. BTW whenever you hear a contestant sing a song on AI or the Voice it has to be approved by the artist you dipshit, JT don't approve for whatever reason, point is people like it and want to sing his music.

[@tabaxikhajit4541]

I have never watched JT until tonight because my husband was so envious of his talent, I just ignored his existance. My husband had an early and unexpected death a few years ago, and it occured to me today he might not feel jealous from heaven if I listen to one of Timberlake's songs. I now understand why everyone knows the name. He can sing and dance as well as Sinatra, but my husband would put him to shame on the drums. Baby, I'm a forever fan, and I'll dance with you again someday. But I might listen to a few of JT's other songs in the meantime.
