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.”

on a side note,, I'm glad Benji won 'So You Think You Can Dance".
Some kid who screetched for a living in a manufactured stage show.
IMHO, Chris Daughtry should have won. Mandisa was better than all of them, but America wasn't going to vote another really overweight person after Ruben Studdard ate himself out of stardom.
"Choppin Broccolii
Choppin Broccolaaaiyy!!"
Another timeless hit from SNL.
I do have to say Dana Carvey was one of the best of the post-Chase-Belushi-Radner-Curtin era.
(((MS PING)))
I agree....
Another case of 'yelling and semi-emoting' being mistaken for a good singing voice.
Taylor Hicks can't sing, but he does act like he can!
Interestingly enough, Lance Bass is from Mississippi.
Who is Taylor Hicks, bourbon? I'm just not up on these things. lol
Jealous is so unbecoming Splitney Timberlake.
She's easy on the eyes too ;)
*snort* I guess he's gotta keep his name out there somehow.
Hey Justin, Taylor can at least play a pretty good harmonica while you probably play a mean skin flute.
I don't like him for this, either.

My, my, my...
A slam at Mississippi AND Lance Bass.
He hit a double with this interview.
What a class act...
I always thought he was the girly man of the group. ;o)
I don't know him, either, but the youngers in my family like him.
Here's the American Idol website...

He's from Birmingham.
He can't be all bad...;o)
"Splitney Timberlake"
LOL!
