Justin Timberlake - what IS the big deal?

[robertson]

I'm in my mid-40s and am well aware Justin Timberlake's music is not aimed at my age group. But I'm willing to bet that not a single one of his hits will be still played much or covered by other artists in decades to come. His music may be fine for kids of today, but I can't find anything remotely memorable about it. And I cringe at those corny boyband moves he does in his videos. Notice how shows like X-Factor ask their contenders to cover songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s and sometimes 80s. So little after that period has staying power. I know I sound like everyone's moaning Dad but I don't care. You tell me what hits of the last 16 years you seriously think will always be regarded as classics? And, if any of Timberlake's are among them, you're so wrong.

I'm not a fan myself. But I think 'Cry Me A River' will stand the test of time.

I'm not normally keen but I do rather like the new one scarilly... however I also like Take That's new single so possibly best to ignore me til I've had my meds!
