Justin Timberlake Slams *NSYNC In His New Rolling Stone Interview
Contributed by elgato:
In Justin Timberlake’s new interview with Rolling Stone, he tries to separate himself from his *NSYNC past in every way possible. He calls them “Disneyworld,” says that they were nothing but teen pop, and claims that his music is 10x better than *NSYNC’s. Here’s an excerpt from the article: The million-dollar question, then, is whether Timberlake will stay on his own, or go back to the boy-band thing. Since he began work on ‘Justified’ last year, he has cagily avoided discussing how his solo career might affect the future of *NSYNC. He has tended to say, diplomatically, that “those guys will always be my brothers.” OK, so JC Chasez had a minor radio hit with ‘Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love),’ and Joey Fatone was adorable in his small role in ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’, and Lance Bass, like, tried to go into outer space or something,and Chris Kirkpatrick - wait, which one is he again? There is no doubt that Timberlake has outgrown *NSYNC. Even he seems to be aware of it now. “I think that the whole time [with 'Nsync], I was living in some small shape of oblivion,” he says. “I thought, ‘They’re just putting that teen-pop label on us because they don’t understand.’ I look back now and realize that’s exactly what it was. Like, why did I think it was something else? When I realized that, I did two things. One, I said, ‘I don’t want to do teen pop again.’ And two, ‘I don’t want to ever not realize something for what it is.’ I wasn’t able to look at the bigger picture and realize that there was this whole thing going on, this whole movement, like, Disneyworld is taking over. And looking back on it now, how @#%$ frightening is that? I’ve had some of the greatest experiences with those guys, but do I think that what I’ve done with [Justified] is ten times better than anything *NSYNC has ever done? Yes, I do.”
