i ♥ this song and yes cbwasher you are totally right JT has that thing that MJ has where in some of his songs (if you dint know him much) you cant tell that he can make his voice high pitched... i dont know how to explaiin it but back to the mj thing they should make a MJ hall of fame and JT should definetly be in it
|
||
one of my all-time favorite songs. Deep lyrics from JT!!! Absolutely LOVE IT!!
|

This blue eye soul brother has a lotta soul in him MJ would be prould to have him in the running with the other prince(s) of pop keep the beats flowing brother from another mother

This song is great. And so is the music vid. And to all the haters you don't have to listen to it if you don't like it. Just hit the thumbs down and problem solved.
|
||
i will admit, this song had to grow on me... i usually like timbaland's joints but for some reason, i wasn't feeling this one the first couple of times i heard it. now i like it tho. tim and JT make a good team.
|

Hey lolo--there' s a thumbs down you can click if you don't want to hear a song... why you wouldn't want to hear such a creative and well-perform e d song is beyond me, but you have the power.
|
||

|
||
this song is funny to me because justin sounds like Michael in the chorus and hook. But I love this song. But cry me, cry me...Baby go on and just...Stop singing like Michael Jackson...Ok enough about MJ But Justin rocks....
|
||
not one of timberlakes best efforts, but he still makes alot more $$$$ than I do...
|
||
This song is amazing. I love the bubble gum pop background sounds. The theme of this song was very easy to hear. The pop rock genre was exceedingly easy to hear. This song ISN'T ABOUT HIS BREAKUP WITH BRITNEY!!! He used lots of new sounds in this song and I enjoyed it very much. over all, AMAZING!!! Timberlake 4evr!!!
|

This song is not about Justin's breakup with Britney. It is about what ever Scott Storch was thinking about when he wrote the song. The video may have been about Britney and Justin, but that was a sad and pathetic attempt to get media coverage of the song. Please do not think that these people make their own music. You can find it fun or catchy but not the artistic work of the singer. Sorry I am on cold medication and a little worked up. :)
|
||
This is like one of the very few songs done by him that I actually like... -.-;
|
||
