This has been a longtime coming, but I am finally admitting it....I have officially become a Justin Timberlake convert. Some of you are probably wondering how this is just finally occurring, and some of you (like my former self) are questioning my change of heart. But my history with Justin goes like this, I was never a fan. During the 'N Sync days, I was a huge J.C. fan. After JT went solo, I liked some of his songs, but was never a fan of his high, whining voice. And let's not even talk about his pathetic appearance on Punk'd.
But, years later, I can finally get behind actor/comedian Justin! When I heard he was in the "Social Network", I was skeptical because I've seen "Model Behavior", and in that he was no gem. But in the "Social Network" he was good- score one for JT. Not only that, but he has had a number of successful stints on SNL. Seriously, he does not need to sing solo, he should sing exclusively with Andy Samberg. My conversion was solidified after seeing "Friends with Benefits" this past weekend. A typical, predictable rom-com but with good casting, some funny scenes, and great chemistry between Mila and Justin. So JT and I are friends again (as long as there is no follow-up to Justified, but a 'N Sync reunion tour would be nice). Some of my favorite JT moments are below:
Are you a Justin Timberlake fan? New or old?
Has anyone else seen "Friends with Benefits"?
