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.
 
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.

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.

:music: Go head be gone wit it :music:

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."
