Posted July 16, 200619 yr Part of article: Quote: Whatever: he is loath to 'fuel the fire', as he puts it, with unconsidered brushes with the press. 'What I really think is that I've never done anything that bad,' he says. 'I don't show up drunk to functions; the drugs that I do have been in my own private time. I've never been arrested - though not to say that I won't! It's just easier to write something about people who've not spent time in complete debauchery. 'If Courtney Love shows up to a function, then it's like, "Oh that's Courtney Love." If I show up drunk, it's like, "Oh my GOD!" And, like, Britney's an unfit mother because she put her child in the car-seat backwards,' he says, referring to the latest media storm in America in which his former girlfriend was heavily criticised. 'I feel bad for her,' he says. 'We all make mistakes. We all came from the same school, with Christina, myself, Britney. Even when Christina came out with her last record everyone was so shocked. "She's so sexual" - it's like, she's a grown woman! If Madonna had done it, no one would have cared. Madonna's shocking people now because she's so religious. She's burnt crosses and grabbed her crotch. I think that because I don't particularly show my ass everywhere... I don't aspire to that. I'd rather people get naked to my music.' Funny, then, that Timberlake is apparently comfortable with a subject like drugs - if not rather enthusiastic. When asked if he'd ever want to be president of the United States - 'I've done way too many drugs already,' he responds, without missing a beat. 'I've already inhaled and I've already...who knows. I don't know if I want that responsibility.' So what's he done? 'I fear that if I said that, I'd fuel the fire, so forgive me,' he says. 'I'm just like everyone else, I get completely plastered, I've done my fair share of drugs and I've been caught places with my pants down; it's just I make sure there are no cameras around. If we get into this whole [drugs] conversation we don't have enough time. Some drugs haven't been legalised because it will ruin the other drugs, like nicotine and tobacco. Nicotine is more addictive than heroin. I'll leave the preaching to the preachers - my grandfather's a preacher - but I believe you don't do anything to excess. They always say too much of a good thing could be a bad thing. I try to live my life in a well-rounded manner. We all make mistakes.'
July 16, 200619 yr Author Full article - http://observer.guardian.co.uk/ Billboard review of Sexyback: Quote: SexyBack JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE Producer(s): Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Danja Label: Publishers: various Jive Justin Timberlake claims he wants to push pop boundaries with upcoming second solo album "FutureSex/LoveSounds," but launch single "SexyBack" is more likely to jolt nerve endings. Yeah, we get it: Release an event single you know radio will embrace before getting to the meat of the matter, but really. This meandering melody-free jam is atrocious. Timberlake is unidentifiable with his grossly distorted vocal as Timbaland whoops and hollers alongside, in what is essentially a four-minute loop. Timberlake has a lot to offer—as a potential savior of solo male pop—but here he appears to tease, if not to ridicule, radio's lust/need for him. Impact: 10. Respect: less than zero. Tacky return, dude. —Chuck Taylor http://www.billboard.com/
July 17, 200619 yr Billboard slamed Xtina lead single from her second album "Dirrty" yet that song is responsible more than any other for her Worldwide success & moving her career onto another level. I think SexyBack will do the same for JT.
July 17, 200619 yr if he does his drugs in private why talk about it,its something no one needs to know and they wouldnt if he kept his mouth shut,would he be taling about drugs to gain interest in himself and his new album i wonder? gary barlow tried this a few years back and we all know what it did to his solo career!
July 17, 200619 yr He almost sounds proud that he takes drugs. What a t*** he is. <_< I mean most of his fans are teens and the only reason he is admitting this is to promote his new album. How low can you get -_-
July 17, 200619 yr I AGREE while he was at it he should have added i smoke 20 marlboro lights a day and drink 3 bottles of whiskey,no that would have made the interview even more cool!! :angry:
