If Justin Timberlake wrote me a symphony, just to say how much I meant to him, I'd be thrilled. If he told me I was beautiful I probably would, on the balance of all probabilities, date him “on the regular”. Cos he's been around the world but he don't see himself with other girls like me. There's just one thing he needs from me. To say “I do”.
Y'see? It's like a proposal, but in song form. Obviously this offering from everybody's favourite ex-Mouseketeer may not actually be aimed at yours truly, but it's nice to think it is. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the secret of JT's success. That, and the poster of him topless that adorned the bedroom wall of every female in the Western World during the 2003/04 academic year.
Having Rick Rubin and Timbaland on board, parping out a production line of supersonic beats, can't hurt either.
Timberlake doesn't really do pop by numbers, and it's a testament to the quality of his previous material that this sounds distinctly like a Justin Timberlake single should. And it's all the better for it.
this track
is brilliant, i absolutely love it.
honestly.
I, too, enjoy it.
More than SexyBack, actually.
And the video is kinda hypnotic.
everyone in my house
hates me for liking it
:(
i don't hate you Ed
don't let the bastards get you down.
saying that, you guys all hate me for not hating Keane, so I guess it's swings + roundabouts.
you c*nt.

gotta love this song
this or sexyback is a very difficult choice tho. the linus loves remix of the latter is particularly good :D
What's wrong with the cover?
Looks like the camera had a cateract.
I think
the melody he sings sounds like the high lady voice singing he did in Signs with that Dog man.
oops
the front cover looks like a photoshop paintbrush slip-up
i havent heard this single yet, but i loved the last one.
and im NOT ashamed!
It is the real cover though...
...fo'real.
I actually love this song
Undecided on the DFA remix, but the original is just splendid
I heard...
ed masturbating to justin timberlake the other day, and then, from what I can gather, he was rubbing his (adopting a drunken northern accent) 'bell end' all over said performers image found on page 63 of last fortnights Heat magazine. DO YOU WANDER WHY WE HATE YOU BITCH? I HAVE NO TOUCHABLE SHIT LITERATURE!!!!
i'm a little bit disturbed
by that last post
this is rubbish
the synths are straight out of some really bad 1994 house record.
he sounds really awful on the verses, like chris tucker doing a michael jackson impression or something. and those stupid scratchy noises on the chorus sound like chris tucker doing a timbaland impression, for that matter. t.i. manages to go for a whole fairly long verse and still say nothing interesting at all, thats actually impressive in a way
I really enjoy listening to this song
But I'm not sure about the artwork for it..
haha I used to
have a topless calendar of him!
Ohh the glory days....
SHIT
.
I actually
REALLY love this song. I'm not sure why, I'm not really a fan of any of his other stuff, but never mind. It's dancable.
So when's he going to change his name to a symbol?
the beefcake white Prince. Hoo...ray.
Fickk
Kick sample: amazing.
Snare sample: fucking mint.
Rest of tune: superfluous.
spookyelectric -
hit the nail right on the head.
Americans are having their little dalliance with 'mainstream dance' as we did 10 odd years ago. Therefore they're slapping in awful trancy-style lead sounds and it just doesn't cut it.
SexyBack stank too - just a really monotonous song. Don't get me wrong, I have some time for JT. Some. His first album had some choice cuts on it; nothing on his new album really reaches the same peaks (in places) of his debut.
Whereas the first album was all about that soulful, slightly jazz-funko pop sound, now he's jumping on the emerging dance shiat of the American mainstream market. Seriously, without Timberland and co, I think he'd be lost.
And what is with that voice during the verses? Some men were meant to sing in that contralto style, some pull it off really well. He doesn't at all. It just sounds wrong. Like your uncle trying to imitate a choristor. No out and out hate for the man, but he really can do a lot better. 4 at most.
