8/16: Timberlake rags Taylor

Justin Timberlake goes after Taylor Hicks in a supplement to Vanity Fair.

Justin says Taylor can’t carry a tune and how about this for insulting and vaguely offensive:

“If [Hicks] has any skeletons whatsoever, if God forbid, he’s gay, and if all these people in Mississippi who voted for him are like [then he takes on a thick southern accent], ‘Oh my god, I voted for a queer!’ It’s just too much pressure.�

Gee, Justin, tell us how you really feel!

Oh no he didn’t!!!!!!!

Lets have a look at JT’s resume, shall we-hmmm, Mickey Mouse, boy bander, dated Brit, cried me a river, surfed for the past 2 years in Hawaii with Cameron. Yeah, that makes him qualified to trash talk someone who has worked hard and proven his talent.

Its not like “SexyBack” is not some great piece of music anyway. It doesn’t take much talent to repeat go ‘head be gone with it six million times. I smell a little jealousy coming from JT!!!!

WTF??? And I’m a Justin fan, but HTFU!!! Where does he get off talking about Taylor? JT better chill. Kanye’s going to kick his a** anyway. Hey Kanye, get a kick in for Taylor while you’re at it. Fake MJ Usher wanna be!

How in the world can Justin afford to talk about anybody! He has’nt had a hit in a while, i can’t believe he said that he must really think he’s the shizznik when it comes to singing..

Hey guys i hope everyone’s having a great day!

Good, glad to see Carla and AB got my back here. JT is so full of himself. Has his new album come out yet? I think that this may hurt sales. You just don’t insult an idol like that, the fans are diehard and never forget when they’ve been done wrong.

Well he lost one sale here. I was eagerly anticipating his new cd, but now I could care less. Let’s stage a protest at his concert!

I guess you’re not a fan of JT’s huh greg?

I think it’s next week. So does that mean I’d have to burn Justified, No Strings Attached, and Celebrity??

By mystique

Yes, Carla, I am afraid I am going to require you to burn them all!!

The only thing Justine has on Taylor is his look and his moves. But as far as singing well Taylor is just as good. Even though I still think Kathrine should have one American Idol. Have a GOOD DAY!!!!

I was going to purchase his cd also, but oh well i’ll take my money and put it towards something else

Justin has sex with a teenage virgin (Brittany) then tells the world about it - what a pompous jerk. A little later he is part of the Janet Jackson fiasco (obviously he knew it was going to happen), flashing her breast at millions of children.

The man is the moral equivalent of a slug. The fact that he doesn’t like Taylor is enough for me to love Taylor!!!

Sorry, Carla, those are the rules :) You want to come to my cd burning then you have to burn everything that little maggot was ever a part of!!!

Amen, Renee! You tell ‘em!!

AB, hun, you will just have to hold onto to that money til Tay’s cd comes out!

By Carla

Ok. Burn them all!

There is just no love for JT anymore. He done gone and screwed things up big time for himself.

Justin is wrong for saying that, but he can sing better than taylor, sorry ladies but it is true.

Shaun, we are just going to have to wash your mouth out with soap!!

Mystique passes a bar of Dial down to Shaun

Thank you, Apple Bottom!! Us girls gots to stick together for the common cause :)

He has justified through his music that he is better, so go ahead and cry taylor a river, cause if you stack him up against JT, well, bye, bye, bye…..lol

By Carla

August 16, 2006 3:42 PM | Link to this

Shaun, I’m sure we all know that JT may be a better singer/performer than Taylor, but this is about bashing JT, not giving him props. Just because he’s a better and more established singer doesn’t give him the right to talk about Taylor. And then he insulted Kanye too. Is that cool??

By Shaun

August 16, 2006 3:45 PM | Link to this

There are no strings attached to what i am saying, and every little thing he does, is saying he is better than taylor.

I am just having fun, using his music in my sentences…

All i can say is downloading music killed the radio star.Justin is a joke. taylor,i would love to have him play for my birthday party,or pay too see his band in a bar.dont get me wrong,i liked taylor on american idol and wated him to win,but him selling cd’s and selling out phillips,please.

By Wanda

Shaun, I find it scary that a man of your age knows the words to a boy band members songs :-)

By mystique

August 16, 2006 4:02 PM | Link to this

LOL, Shaun! I am not going to disagree that JT has been around longer and has estblished himself. But he doesn’t have to be an @$$!!!!!!!! That is just rude!

OMG, greg! Don’t tell me you have fallen off the Taylor band wagon.

By greg

they all have a long way to go..not a big idol follower after the show.

By mystique

August 16, 2006 4:12 PM | Link to this

I am not saying that the AI people don’t have a long way to go. Now that they have won this competition they need to prove themselves. But Taylor has a bright future ahead of him! He may not sell out Philips just yet, but I bet he would sell out the Gwinett Arena with no problem. I know I will be there :)

What are you going too see?how many albums does he have out?gas prices are going up and the world seems like it’s ending,but we’ll pack arenas to hear idol contestants do cover songs…I JUST DONT GET IT!

JT lost all props with me after he let Janet take all the blame during Nipplegate. So for him to have the nerve to bash anyone……:-(

mysti your first post here said exactly what i wanted to say….let’s look at the person/talent (?)/character of Mr. Timberlake and define where it is he gets to be holier-than-thou — so he was born pretty… that gave him a free pass and free get-out-of-jail card in life, he was talented enough for the mickey mouse club — but folks! what do we call something that’s really sort of petty or little or not entirely meaningful? “Mickey Mouse” !!!! that’s what!!! speaks for itself, i say.

i’m glad the boy had some success. And Shaun, i have to disagree — you compare apples to oranges, and oranges will always be better … if you prefer citrus … than apples. BUT only if you prefer citrus, mind you! JT is good at what he does… and frankly, the list doesn’t impress me overly much. Taylor’s fought his way through places JT would have trouble surviving, his style is completely different, so there’s no comparison in that aspect…in my [perhaps not-so] humble opinion :)

peace

Hey Greg! I went to the grocery store yesterday and some guy was on the sidewalk selling Chicago sports teams stuff. He saw me looking at him and asked which one I wanted. I asked him for a Georgia Bulldog hat (in my strongest southern accent). I had to repeat myself several times befoe he understood. He said he didn’t have any, and I gave him a dirty look and told him that was just wrong. He started stuttering and said he did have one at home that he wears cause he thinks it looks good, etc. Dang it’s fun messing with the yankees :-D

By greg

Thanks, Linny. Anyone that resorts to the level of badmouthing their peers is just too rude for words! Hello, Mr. Jealous!

Greg, yes, to answer your earlier post. I would totally pay to go hear Taylor do cover songs. I would pay to go sit in the same room with that boy! He has an infectious style about him.

I want a pink Georgia hat :) Wanda you should get out of yankee land fast and come home!!

Wow! A prime example of how weird are society is! First off, I could care less for JT - but the reaction to his comments about Taylor is unreal! Ya’ll act as if he is some kind of American Icon whose been in the business twenty years and sold millions of records. He’s a reality tv show winner like Richard Hatch. His image is horrible, his dancing is horrible, his ford commercial is doubly horrible and you people act like he’s Elvis or some legend, instead of a guy who got lucky on a TV show!

I mean how can people be so fanatical over this guy? I swear, put any average joe who ‘s semi-likable and mildly retarded on an American TV show and joe dumb American viewer will fall over themselves to worship him!

Doesn’t Justin come from a Southern family himself.Just because he is seen with Carmen Diaz that don’t mean a thing.He could be gay!Why do people judge the way others live?Do you pay for their expenses?Taylor Hicks can sing with SOUL and HEART.When he starts singing you just can’t help but hmmm,sing along or dance the Soul Patrol fever.Does Justin think he is to good to put down a fellow musician?Oh,Justin your brother Lance from N’SYNC is gay,too.Why is it when nothing else can be said “Oh,he is gay”.How do you know?Do you live with him?Who really cares? There are more important things going on in the world.I love Taylor Hicks for himself,I voted for him, and his music.I was waiting for N’Sync CD 3or 4 years ago that didn’t ever make it out.At least he isn’t a Micheal Jackson wannabe!

oh NO he didn’t …Justin T is a has-been trying to stay in the spotlight. who cares what his opinion is of anyone else…as if he has decided HE’S the one who sets the standard. he’s a human cartoon, outdated, a has-been, a nobody.

Why is he sunch a homephobic all of the sudden? He supported Lance Bass when he came out. Maybe he is threatend by someone new and diffrent?

When people put other people down, make rude comments, and trash someone, it’s usually because of very low self esteem. Having problems JT? Taylor is a wonderful guy. He may not have the same style as JT, but isn’t being different makes the world more exciting?!!

Remember when that little no-talent twit Justin was on Star Search in his cowboy get up and singing country music? Didn’t he grow up in Tennessee? The last time I heard him speak, you would have thought he grew up in Compton and was a crip! What a joke!! Listen to some REAL music that makes a difference, maybe a little Pearl Jam or Kings of Leon?
