Talk:Justin Timberlake/Archive 3

King of Pop
Uh... He's only released one album. I don't think that just because he attempted to mimic Michael Jackson, makes him the king of pop music.
 * There's no king of pop--2hot4u2handle 13:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * He was named the new king of pop by some magazine. Which is odd to me, because he seems intent on being the next MJJ.  Antares33712 22:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Isn't Usher the king of Pop?

It's hardly Wikipedia's place to dub anyone anything. If we must include this, find the magazine, and phrase it something like: "Such-and-such magazine, in date, dubbed Timberlake the new King of Pop, supplanting Michael Jackson." That way we're citing our source, we're giving supporting details, and we're also not just deciding to claim it as fact because a magazine said so. Lekoman 06:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I've redirected "Prince of Pop" to him, he's been called this many times previously. MJ even stated at a concert which Justin performed at. I'll find citations later - Leethal And I have changed it back to Andy Warhol as this is the name Google returns when you type in Prince of Pop.202.169.219.229 05:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Usher is not so much a Pop musician, though he WAS dubbed the "Godson of Soul" by James Brown. He is and R&B musician.

He is not the King of Pop or the Prince of Pop any pages stating this should be removed.

Gay Life
I think that the gay life section is disgusting and all gay people should die! I don't get into editting wikipedia article, but the organization in this one caught my eye. The things in the love life section is redundant of the personal life section. Also under personal life there are references to him working on the simpsons, which shouldn't be in that section any ways. This is the first wikipedia article that has ever caught my eye as needing editting. Hope someone dedicated to this article can take care of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.34.34.192 (talk • contribs)
 * I would do so myself, but I'm busier on other things. I would encourage you to get a user account and be proactive and make the changes. The page had to be semiprotected because 95% of the IP edits were either vandalism or changing the figures without using sources - and because the vandalism was extremely frequent. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 04:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Why is it omitted that he and Janet Jackson also were a couple? It just seems weird that all his other girlfriends are talked about except her. Maybe a little racial bias in the press, as usual? Day24.19.60.25 02:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Personal life and love life
These sections are in need of some cleaning up. Zerblatt 22:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Facts or just making it up????
When people like Ebp112002 come and edit the pages, it's really annoying when they have facts like justified is certified 7x platinum when actually it's 3x platinum or when in australia, "my love" has reached number one when in fact it hasn't been charted yet. It's annoying because we have to keep changing it back. Please if u are going to change the page plz do your research or just ask me because i'm the one who regulary changes the page. Cheers Steve

- not to point figures but i feel its needed, gunitjt7 or sumthing like that is the one fabricating the album sales and its pretty annoying to fix it when they are clearly wrong and should realize it when we put our sources and for sum reason they cant site there sourceS? so basically stop cxhanging justifieds album sales to 5 million in the u.s and riaa certified 7x platinum cuz that is incorrect, its over 3 million(supposedly 3.5) in the u.s and therefore 3x platinum....also futuresex/lovesounds has not sold 5 million worldwide or 3 million in the u.s or is certified 5x platinum by the riaa.... are u f*ckin retarded! it has sold just over 3 million worldwide and almost 2 million in the u.s which is why it is certified by the riaa at 2x platinum - BA

Laughable... really. Mariza21 21:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

He's now dating Jessica Biel

Incorrect Chart Position
The article states that 'Cry My A River' peaked at #62 in the UK. This is incorrect - it peaked at #2.

error in statistics
the certification by the RIAA of JT's album is wrong... it has been exaggerated by more than 2 X... go check billboard.com to verify guys... he ain't such a good artist... 5X platinum for futuresex/lovesounds... in california alone maybe!

do change it! Where the hell did the RIAA on this page come from, his debut album Justified DID NOT go 7x Platinum, he wishes, it went 3x Platinum. Also, futuresex/lovesounds is 2x Platinum. You guys need to verify your sources, please use www.riaa.com then "searchable database", you can find the correct riaa cert. there. I am constantly correcting RIAA mistakes on wikipedia, just because you like the artist, it dosn't give the right to increase its supposed number sales figures.

Y is this page locked?

Source 4 claim the JT slept with the great Michael Jackson?
In the 'early life' sections says he slept w Michael Jackson as a pre pub boy. IS THIS 4 REAL??? Pls remove this vandalism. If it is real, give a source.

prob they both like boys

Justin Timberlake Sales
The sales information given here is incorrect, Justified went on to sell arround 7 million copies worldwide (according to the United World Chart), and FutureSex/LoveSounds has sold close to 8 million copies worlwide(according to the United World Chart), for this reason he has sold over 15 million of copies in his solo carrer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.75.91.18 (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Record of the Year for "Cry Me A River"
This is incorrect. Justin did not receive a Record of the Year Nomination in 2004 for "Cry Me A River." He received it for his collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas in "Where Is The Love?" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jclem26112 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

Timberlake an The Knife ?
"Timberlake and Swedish electronic duo The Knife are planning to release a collaborative album in 2008. It has been stated that the album will be recorded inbetween stops during the European leg of Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour." Source? This is a joke, right? I can't find anything about anywhere else.

Yes, please add sources or delete this paragraph...21854

Heh, I cannot imagine that at all, especially considering that the Knife have officially broken up :/ I'm guessing this is gossip. 65.29.99.137 01:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The Knife collaboration - source?
The article says: "Timberlake and Swedish electronic duo The Knife are planning to release a collaborative album in 2008. It has been stated that the album will be recorded inbetween stops during the European leg of Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour." ok.

I have not been able to confirm this anywhere - I can only find Google hits, where people are wondering if what they read in this article is true! It seems to me, that this is a rumour started here on Wikipedia.

Does anyone have a source for this claim? If not, the section should be deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Uffep (talk • contribs) 23:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

I can't find any source for this. (although it is well-written and has details about location...) Removing it from here for now... PlazzTT 23:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use images
The page has several images tagged as fair use, but don't belong since there already is a free version used at the top of the page. All images except the top one and the album art in the discography should be removed, it seems. Mosmof 13:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

POV Wording
i will be removing a few overtly POV phrases and words (such as calling Mr. Timberlake "sexy" in the introduction). While i do personally agree that he is sexy, this is not appropriate wording for an encyclopedia article.

Also, i would ask my fellow Wikipedians to please avoid using this discussion page as a venue to argue over and comment on Mr. Timberlake as a person. This talk page is only for discussing maintainence of the article in question.

Regards! :) MiraFirefly 04:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Possible Collaboration with Britney Spears
In an article featured on ABC News, Timbaland talks about a possible collaboration with Britney in where Justin Timberlake offers his support of the efforts to resurrect the startlet's career. ABC News Article Mariza21 04:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

This should be added to 'Other work' section. --Jak3m 18:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Joe McCoy Paragraph?
What is this?? It's added to the page with no verified link or anything. 69.146.228.203 01:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Margie 032707

Nathan Summers
There are many blogs and forums e.t.c on the internet and possibly off the internet who think there is an eerie resemblance between Timberlake and the Royal Marine who was detained along with 14 British others in Iran, here some of the links.   Is this acceptable to be put in the Trivia section of the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BatsandBalls (talk • contribs) 03:48, April 10, 2007

Justin and his hand tonight
Can someone add how Pink dedicated her song 'Just You And Your Hand' to Justin Timberlake

Someone should add Justin's collaboration with Macy Gray (produced and vocals) on Get Out off her Big disc206.197.236.60 19:58, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Justin Timberlake & Duran Duran
This summer of '07, a single from Duran Duran called "Night Runner" will feature Justin Timberlake. That and two others songs were produced by Timbaland and Nate "Danja" Hills. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.199.33 (talk • contribs) 18:34, April 28, 2007

one of the other songs is called Falling Down —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.76.106.212 (talk) 17:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Add the Tennman Records Link
On Monday, May 27th, Justin announced that he is launching his own record label, Tennman Records. Please add this information to Justin's biography as it represents another significant milestone in his career. Reyflem 18:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

justin timberlake 2nd album
his song summer love is his fourth number 1.
 * No it's not. --esanchez, Sign your name here! 20:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

With Reba McEntire
Now that Justin has collaborated with Reba, I think it needs to be mentioned in the article, although I am not sure how I would myself write it...there's definitely documentation...see Reba McEntire and her Duets album for more.He is touring now as his new album Future Sex/Love Sounds 69.250.193.99 06:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)PedroB

Yes, agreed, and I have the Reba Duets Album and he actually wrote/produced the song they duet together. I think that certainly deserves mention!! 12.144.58.212 16:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC) Samantha S

Justin's twin sister
I believe that Justin had a twin sister who died shortly after birth. Her name (I believe) was Laura Catherine. I think that it is this Laura he refers to on the sleeve notes mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.174.56 (talk) 21:05, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

It wasnt his twin it was his half sister, Laura Katherine(could be Catherine), who died shortly after birth in 1997. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.76.106.212 (talk) 17:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC) Justin Timberlake is also reconecid with J.T.! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.154.218.252 (talk) 10:23, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Inaccuracy in article
I have no idea who Laura Chwieseni is, but she was not Justin's half sister. He did have a half sister named Laura who died at birth, but she was a Timberlake.

Instruments?
According to the infobox, JT could play the piano and guitar - but this, being an important piece of fact, doesn't appear anywhere else in the article. Could anyone find anymore information about the instruments he plays? Aran|heru|nar 09:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

'N Sync section
The section on 'N Sync needs some serious expansion, in my opinion. That group was a huge part of his career, and it's barely mentioned at all in this article. --MgCupcake (talk) 08:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Definitely, and Superbowl needs to be trimmed.Herunar (talk) 13:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Justin Timberlake is a fashion designer he created William Rast clothing line —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClasseyAlim (talk • contribs) 21:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Instruments
Does he play piano and guitar?

I always thought he just could sing, but someone told me that he also plays instruments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.211.238 (talk) 03:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * He does play, and it's quite notable, but I couldn't seem to find any source with details. Herunar (talk) 14:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

???
Does these 3 sentences fit together?
 * "In 2002, he released his debut solo album, Justified, which sold over 7 million copies worldwide."
 * "As of January 2008, FutureSex/LoveSounds has sold over 8 million copies."
 * "With his first two albums, Timberlake has sold over 18 million records worldwide."

The Open Road Baseball Movie
he is gonna star in an upcoming baseball movie "The Open Road" but there is no article for it and it should be added to this article.Sonicobbsessed (talk) 21:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Personal life
Now he is seen with a Katy Solano at a local restaurant in Albany, CA. Seen in March 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.72.133.102 (talk) 03:31, 28 March 2008 (UTC) Cosmopolitan'' magazines.

Importance
The topic is of interest not only for Tennesseans but beyond. The topic can be expected to appear in a printed encyclopedia.
 * Changed TN rating from High to Low. In the context of Tennessee (a geographically focused project), this person is not of high importance. --Orlady (talk) 00:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
