Justin Timberlake: 'Idol' champ 'can't carry a tune in a bucket'

[0]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Justin Timberlake backtracked from criticism of "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks after telling Fashion Rocks magazine the 29-year-old soul singer "can't carry a tune in a bucket."

"I have a strange relationship with that show," Timberlake tells the magazine in an interview. "I despise it, and yet I'm completely fascinated."

"The guy who won -- people think he looks so normal, and he's so sweet, and he's so earnest, but he can't carry a tune in a bucket. Do you realize how much pressure it is to put on somebody all of a sudden?"

Timberlake, a member of boy band 'N Sync who is now pursuing a solo career, also said: "If he has any skeletons whatsoever; if, God forbid, he's gay, and all these people in Mississippi who voted for him are like, 'Oh, my God, I voted for a queer!' It's just too much pressure."

I like this part:

Ken Sunshine, Timberlake's representative, said the 25-year-old singer's comments "were taken completely out of context."

Because, "he can't carry a tune in a bucket" has so many different contexts.

Sounds like a jealous tirade to me.

and who actually buys Timberlake's albums? i recoil anytime i perchance have to hear one of Timberlake's songs. the only thing he ever had going was the "wardrobe malfunction" incident with Janet Jackson.

why is it always no talent hacks who claim people don't have talent?

FWIW, though I have zero interest in Justin Timberlake, I will readily concede he's more talented than Taylor Hicks. That guy is the worst.

Maybe, but they dig 20-year-olds millionaires a bit more, I'd wager.

A LOT of people bought his debut solo album. It was great, and he has a TON of talent.

But what he said about Hicks was not cool.

Now, this'll be a gay-off, old school rules. First model walks, second model duplicates, then elaborates. Okay, boys, let's go to work.

I agree with all of that. Except the part that the debut album was great because I didn't listen to it. I just know he's got a ton of talent from his dancing / entertaining at least.

Timberlake's second solo album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds," is set for release September 12. "Sexyback," his first single from the CD, began playing on U.S. radio outlets last month.

"I wanted (the album) to look to a time when everything was really sexy," he says. "Maybe everybody was coked up, but who cares? It was hot. It was all about sex."

:roll:
