I genuinely think the ageism thing struck him, that fast. I've seen lot of "who?" and "old man" comments.

Because of bullshit streaming now mostly dictating the Hot 100 "Can't Stop The Feeling!" never returned to #1 after its sales fueled first week, as JT is apparently too old for teens and early 20 somethings to be caught dead streaming.

Regardless it's managed a very nice chart run: 1 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 4 – 5 – 4 – 9 – 9 (15wks)

too old? he's only 35 :grin:

ageism in pop music is getting more and more ridiculous. next up Lady Gaga (30): why ain't she dead yet?

Don't laugh! Late last summer I was driving my 11 to 14 year old niece, her friend and my nephew up to get some frozen yogurt and one of Justin's big hits came on the radio. Not one of them knew the song, or even who it was. After I told them it was Justin Timberlake and asked them if they knew who that was one of them said, "Oh yeah, I know that guy!".

As such even this latest hit struggled to stay in the bottom half of the Top 10 of the Billboard Streaming Songs chart.

the only mainstream male pop star worthy of notice is back. i kinda like this. it's not brilliant but feels like a grower, definitely improves on the last lead single. it actually sounds better structured when not watching the video.

sorry, i meant that as in male pop superstar with a two decades long career on his back. someone like bruno mars should also loosely fit to that description pretty soon. not justin bieber, though, not ever.

Yeah, it's *fine*. If it had more of a tune, it'd be brilliant. The video is soooo cool!

It’s a bit like George Michael’s “Freeek” isnt’t it?

Definitely. And like Freeek, there is a melody desperate to come out of this, but just can't quite manage it.

How long before Mirrors 2.0 is released to save his album campaign?

Wow isn't it's the cultural appropriation?
Or sometimes it's a good thing. When Gwen wears wigs it is not, but with the proper guy we "all love"...
Boring song, reminds of Hey You.

Thing is I liked the song, but detest the video with all the pyramids, and the last one shoot.
Gosh, when someone''s rising from the grave?
How religiously moron he must be?

so the criticism on him is referring to cultural appropriation? isn't pop culture all about cultural appropriation and recycling trends?

i just don't get it :confused:

I have to say, this whole "cultural appropriation" thing bugs the SHIT out of me. I simply refuse to accept that such a thing even exists.

It's amusing to see Timberlake be SAVAGED on Popjustice for "cultural appropriation", yet it's perfectly fine for Madonna and numerous other artists over the decades to do the same. It's total bollocks. There's no such thing.

Unless I'm totally missing something of course?
