First off, I have no clue when they started allowing threads dedicated to just one single song on this forum.
Second, we all know how much people can't stand Justin Timberlake—so it's pretty obvious this thread is just gonna turn into a massive flame war where everyone starts trashing him and fighting with each other.
Third, look, I don't even listen to J.T., but the guy clearly has talent—I mean, he wouldn't be that huge if he didn't, right? You should probably actually hear the music before you start hating on it. Personally, I dig his more acoustic stuff—less pop, more indie folk vibes. His voice might not be his strongest suit, but then again, nobody gives the Foo Fighters a hard time about it since they're part of a band.

I'll never understand why people always resort to that "if you don't like it, don't listen" comment. This is a forum; people are bound to say negative things about stuff you actually love. Just accept it and life will be easier.

Back to the point... regarding the lyrics, there's a fine line between being heartfelt and being pathetic, and he definitely crossed it.

Everyone has music that speaks to them... that’s all I was saying. We are all different, and I have no desire—nor any need—to feel superior to anyone. The lyrics are what they are... written when he was left by a girl he clearly loved deeply. Honest emotions aren't pathetic. He felt that way in that moment, and I think many people can relate to at least a part of the song. 🙂

Honestly, I’ve always found the whole "I can't live without you" line to be incredibly cheesy. It’s pure melodrama. And when you pair those lyrics with his voice... it just doesn't work for me.

That’s just how it felt in that moment; she was speaking pure love with all logic switched off, which happens to everyone... but then again, time has passed, and they've both moved on. He eventually fell in love with someone else, leaving behind this beautiful song that shows just how much love can truly transform a person. 🙂 It’s as if nothing else in this world compares to the sheer power of Love 😉 It can make a person feel invincible one second and completely destroyed the next... love is a fickle thing. 😁

From what I understand, Stay the Night is about him and his new girlfriend... at least, that's what I heard somewhere... correct me if I'm wrong.

And his voice... man, it never bothered me... I don't get what people find so irritating about it...🤷

As far as I know, "Stay the Night" is about him and his new girlfriend... or at least that's what I heard somewhere. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And his voice... man, I've never had an issue with it. I don't really get why people find his tone so irritating...🤷

Okay, after reading a post like that, I totally see why you like him.

If someone had told me that a former professional soldier could actually pull off such a tender, soulful ballad, I probably wouldn't have believed them. But I guess I would’ve been wrong, because that's exactly who we're talking about when it comes to Justin Timberlake!! He really is a phenomenal musician.👍
I absolutely love his discography, though I suppose my absolute favorites have to be My Heart Will Go On and 1973...🙏

It’s just not my thing, but honestly, looking at all the pop music from the last few decades, there is definitely way worse stuff out there than Justin Timberlake... that's all I'm saying.

I’ve gotta back this one up. To me, Justin Timberlake is just a decent enough performer who might stumble into a catchy little tune now and then (depending on who you ask), but overall? Nothing special, at least not to my ears. And look, it’s pretty easy to see why his voice gets under people's skin—it sits somewhere right between a duckling and a cat being pulled by its tail.
Bottom line, I don't even need to argue that there's plenty of music out there that isn't just bad, but straight-up atrocious compared to his stuff.
He’s basically in the same tier as Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and those other modern semi-emo artists whose music doesn't really hit any notes either way, but occasionally manages to shimmer. It all feels too soft and watered down for me to ever call any of them actually great. More like background noise for your morning coffee.

Anyone know if she’s actually planning to visit the States? Any word on upcoming tours? Feels like she's been dodging us on purpose lately 🤷

If anyone's actually looking to go, there’s a show in Vienna on June 7th. Ticket plus the bus should run you about $200...

I won't be mean, but I find Justin Timberlake just as irritating. As soon as he comes on, I turn off the radio. Along with him, I can't stand Michael Bublé, John Legend, or Bruno Mars either. Sorry, but Justin Timberlake belongs to that category of music that my ears just refuse to accept.
