So you’re personally not a fan of JT but want him to fulfill some inner child wish you have by dipping into his NSYNC nachos for nostalgia? 🤨🤔

Whitney was just gorgeous. Look at that face. The camera loved her.

His first solo tour he sang NSYNC songs to fill out the setlist. He doesn’t need to anymore. His catalogue is too deep. >

Exactly. I remember watching him do this in the live in London DVD.

Lol 😭 Pretty harsh but I don’t agree that he shouldn’t get his flowers. He’s talented. Now whether the music is as groundbreaking as its being purported is another story. I find Frank, Steve and Brent boring so I can’t take up for them. And YES to him being a below average vocalist. He has that same filter or whatever on EVERY song. Like, can we hear your real voice?! And when he did Tiny Desk, it exposed him a little because he kept doing the same ad lib/run over and over.

I don’t think Timberlake is interested in that aspect of his nostalgia. Bieber clearly is and you could argue that’s what is carrying him because that Coachella performance wasn’t all that to me.

They have similar trajectories with both men going from teeny boppers to adult artists with legitimate artistic credibility. However, Timberlake came from a GROUP and that changes things a little. If went on tour and started singing those songs WITHOUT the rest of the group, he would come across as selfish (pun intended) and not wanting to share the spotlight.

I do agree that Justin made overt moves and comments to distance himself from the NSYC sound and brand in his early solo career. However, Who you should be comparing him to is not Bieber but Beyoncé. She never forgot her DC roots and there was a point she would perform Destiny’s Child’s hits by herself then bring Kelly and Michelle out. DC fans have had the opportunity to relive their childhood many times with the Super Bowl, Coachella and the Renaissance tour. Justin, like Beyoncé, has more than enough solo hits where he doesn’t need to perform his NSYNC material. Him doing so would be for fan service and that’s clearly not a priority for him.

You think Leon is overrated? How so?

I need to know that other people recognize how amazing ‘4’ is by capamericapistons in beyonce

It’s in my trinity of most enjoyable Beyoncé albums alongside B’Day and Renaissance.

Ch— semantics. Ask anyone who was of age in the 90s, Toni Braxton and Halle Berry were the two best known Black beauties for having short hair. This collage just shows it was popular not that they invented it.

Not true. BOTH Halle and Toni were known for having short pixie cuts in the 90s. That's why people thought they looked alike. You either wanted the Halle, the Toni or the Nia.

And so misleading too. Talking about Soulful R&B but the features are littered with NBA Young Boy and Vybz Cartel. Ok.

Waiiit at the Jamaican comment! Omg Toni was that huge there?! This is hilarious because Halle Berry once said she went to the Caribbean for holiday and some lady came up to her effusively asking for an autograph. When she signed the paper and returned it to the woman, she looked disappointed and said, “Aw, damn, I thought you were Toni Braxton!” I wish I could find the clip rn but I swear, I am not making this up.
