Justin Timberlake is not in awe of Taylor Hicks’ talent.
“People think he looks so normal, and he’s so sweet and he’s so earnest, but he can’t carry a tune in a bucket,” Timberlake told Fashion Rocks, a supplement of Vanity Fair. Timberlake also thinks that Hicks’ fame is fragile. “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.”
The “Justified” singer has mixed feelings about “American Idol,” the show made Hicks famous. “I have a strange relationship with that show,” he said. “I despise it, yet I’m completely fascinated.”
Of his former sweetie, Britney Spears, he said: “I dated Britney half my life, but I don’t know that woman anymore.”

LOL! Well, he does have a hit radio song at the moment. Some ditty called 'Sexyback,' which I haven't heard and don't plan to.
So maybe that's why old JT is showing the world what an arrogant twit he is.
Poor, poor stupid Justin. I get the feeling he cries a lot and screams like Nathan Lane in The Birdcage when upset.
Ugh ... just the title of it makes me nauseas :)
He has no more talent than the other Justin (Guarini).
LOL! That's easy to imagine :)
Timberlake sure seems to be holding that microphone in a *cough* familiar way :)
He sounds like an arrogant ass.
ok good. :)
Wasn't this the same guy that cryed like a baby when he was "punk'd"?
Timberlake got punk'd? :) Wish I would have seen that one.
Yep :)
I found an article that describes what happened better than I can.
Kutcher [arranged] to have a fake IRS team show up at Justin Timberlake’s house to haul off his property in repo trucks because of alleged tax fraud (Timberlake’s mom, disturbingly, is in on the prank and helps the fake IRS gain access to his home before his arrival). As Timberlake frantically tries to reach his people on his cell phone (at one point lying and saying the cell phone doesn’t belong to him, because the head IRS agent seems on the verge of seizing it), agents manhandle his property, destroying a decoy version of one of his cherished guitars. Bewildered, Timberlake begins to crumble as his world comes down around him. He does his best to hold back tears, particularly when the head IRS agent briefly has him convinced that even his dogs have been seized.Then, of course, hilarity ensues—sort of—when Kutcher shows up at the end to say it’s all a joke. Ha ha . . . har. Hmmm.

Hahaha :)
I agree. Timberlake makes me sick. At least Guarini had a bit of charm to him when he was on AI.
Well Justin, at least Taylor doesn`t dress like some sort of ice cream half a fag. By the way, besides talk radio on the AM, I haven`t listened to music on FM literally for the past 2 years. Is this MTV music holocaust still going on?
"La di da di..ho-mo mo mo! I-I-I-I- neeeeeed to wear gloooooves because I`m on my haaaaaands and knees so muuuch!"
"Britney.."
"What Justin?"
'When I grow up I`m going to curse out real musicians so I can make pretend I have credibility."
"Oh like that is like so boss!"
M-i-c---see you real soon---k-e-y....M-o-u-s-e..."
Well, he's dating a woman ten years older than him so I guess he's halfway there...
Holy crap, someone's green with envy! Jeez Louise, one of the guys who ruined pop music taking on the winner of an national amateur singing competition?
Hey, here's a tip, I-almost-was-Mr.-Spears: If you think Taylor's going to fizzle out, let him do it. You just look like an ass trying to speed up the process. It also shows that you don't have confidence in your own ability to rise above him and let your "music" do the talking.
It's just like getting all poke-mouthed about losing the Rookie of The Year award -- if you really are better than the guy who got the trophy, it will become evident in later years. For example: The Chicago White Sox's Ron Kittle was ROY in 1983, finishing above Cleveland's Julio Franco. Kittle played a total of ten years and had a .239 lifetime batting average. Franco won the AL batting title in 1991, and is in his twenty-first season, STILL PLAYING AT THE AGE OF 47. He is the oldest position player in the history of the Major Leagues. He recently became the oldest player to hit a home run in the Major Leagues and ALSO the oldest player ever to steal two bases in a game. He had a lifetime average of .299 coming into this season. He has an outside chance at the Hall of Fame. So while Ron Kittle will always be able to say, "I won Rookie of The Year over Julio Franco," to which people might ask, "So...what happened to you?" Ouch.
This happens every so often in the record biz; an upstart tops the charts, and the people who think they belong there start whining about how they haven't paid their dues or they can't sing or they don't belong in the business. Most of the time, the snipers at the newbies are on their way out. Travis Tritt picked a fight with Billy Ray Cyrus, whose "Achy Breaky Heart" swept the nation. Sure, Billy Ray didn't have another #1 single, but he has one more than Tritt ever had. MC Hammer was trashed by hip-hop footnotes 3rd Bass as being 'a weasel who went pop.' Run-DMC took on Michael Jackson in "Down With the King." And just about everyone in the rap game with the exception of Flavor Flav united against Vanilla Ice. But for good or for ill, nobody has forgotten Robbie Van Winkle, America's alpha "wigger."
Bottom line is this: Show business is a marathon, not a sprint. Only a loser would try to trip up someone on the first leg. Shut your stuff up, Timberlake (emphasis on the "Timberrrrr!").
just another Hollywood poofter posing
Big words from a totally producer-invented "talent".
Had he actually been a songwriter who made it on his own, he might have creds to pull this off. But, no...

I disagree. I don't know where his hostility Towards Hicks is coming from, but Timberlake can sing. I'm not much for his musical style...but I saw him on a show once doing live renditions of some old Blues and R&B...he's got talent.
Bring it on down to Omletteville!
He can be funny too.
P.S. I had Hicks to win from his first audition.
