I always thought it was unfair what happened to Janet, but also unfair to blame Justin for it, at least like he played the biggest role in what happened. He is just some dumb celebrity who was probably afraid of his own career being hurt and he wasn't the one writing angry letters "about the children" or acting like a boob is going to corrupt the entire country. He also isn't the one who created a society that has double standards when it comes to men and women and especially women of color. He isn't the conservative fanaticism running through the country that even today is trying to morally police everything including women and others, like anyone LGBT+
Justin is an easy target because its easy to complain about what one person did or didn't do, but if you genuinely care about what happened to Janet then there are ways to be politically and socially active to stop similar situations from happening again. Like, that is the real target for me if you genuinely hate the Janet situation and what happened to her.
I am not defending Justin. He has been an asshole toward Janet and Britney and probably others, but he is also benefiting from a country that rewards people like him and I don't necessarily blame him for taking advantage of it.

At this point, people should use the Superbowl/Justin thread(s) in the Your Opinion Please forum to talk in circles about the subject.

Pretty much my exact view of the situation.

I would say that Timberlake is the male version of Beyonce - made by producers and ambition, not talent, you can almost taste the cruelty in their career building. Regardless their long careers, I only like couple of songs from both of them(including their previous groups), even their eye views or presence are kinda cruel, they are not beautiful persons, but their total ambition make them sexyback. Delete it.

I am just glad Timbaland and Danja reunited for this. Neither of them are very good on their own anymore. Timbaland makes a dope beat but his melodies ain't been shit since YouTubers exposed his theft. Danja had the songs but the drums and bass, the backbone of most of their songs, just never popped off the same way. The beat he gave Bey and Jay for "Shining" was whack.
Together their track record is much better. That Nelly Furtado album is flames to this day, and most of the songs on FutureSex/LoveSounds hold up well.

This thread is coming for LWYMMD's crown This assumes the single will be a total disaster, which is unlikely given that the worst music he seems capable of making is only boring. Some might find him frustrating, but he's just not as polarizing or fame hungry.

I would say that Timberlake is the male version of Beyonce - made by producers and ambition, not talent Any argument/theory that is predicated on Justin Timberlake, and even more so Beyoncé, not being talented is egregiously absurd. And renders everything before and after null and void.

I know that it's hard for some of y'all to actually be able to separate artists from their music. Which is sort of what I do with JT, I don't really agree with the actions he's made in the past regarding Janet/Britney, but he still makes some of the best Pop music we've heard this millennium. You can say all you want about the actions, but they're in the past.
I stan Janet, and I've just had to accept that this is what happened to her career, instead of dwelling on past mistakes, what we should be doing is figuring out how to prevent these actions in the future.
I can separate JT from his music, but not in the other ways that say, XXXTENTACION and the GUMMO guy from their music because of their horrific personalities and actions (also their music is literal garbage :sip2: ).

Timberlake is one of the greatest vocal talents in mainstream pop today - charismatic, a good range, an excellent falsetto. Along with this, he has good songwriting skills.

I think we’re all missing the underlying truth in that post which is that Beyonce isn’t talented.

Even ignoring the Superbowl mess, there's just something irksome about this bitch. Although maybe it's just that Duca stans him.

Honestly though, I never cared about JT too much, he has some good songs yes. But I never was all over his looks or personality, mainly hating the latter I'm also still forever pissed though that he damaged Queen Janet's reputation, that for me is enough to make me never like him as a person ever
