New Justin Timberlake Video - "My Love"

You have to sit through 1:40 of Timbaland rapping over chants of "My Love" before the video version of this cut gets to what Timba does best -- cook beats that wear through your ironic mugging and have you bounce side to side. It's not wrong to like this song. (Right?) The clip is standard empty-set-with-group-choreography pop-hop fare, but the ladies can look at JT and guys can, well, they can listen.

Fellas, find yourselves doing more than just listening? Timbaland says it's okay! In speaking about JT, he told Blender:

Some people listen ... and think, am I queer? Am I funny? If you are that way, you’re just that way. But if you’re a masculine man, embrace it. Have a glass of wine, put the record on, invite your girl over — get sexy. ’Cause you might get some drawers off. Trust me — I know what I’m talking about.

If that makes you feel better.

There were some nice synth licks, I can appreciate that.

Having said that, it is only a matter of time before Justin corrects Michael's wrongs and operates himself into a fully black man.

Ahh. Justin Timberlake. The modern day micheal jackson does it again. I really don't want to like this song but it's like crack. And crack is whack but in the end crack is your baby momma.

Yo, I did what Timba said and brought my girl over, kicked back with a glass of wine, and played that video. My girl threw a Built to Spill album at me and left. Yo, that's cold.

I just can't get past his voice, it's like nails on a chalkboard for me. I really want to like it, I do, because the beats are sick, but that voice just kills it for me.

This shit is insane. It's funny that homeboy denounced "computer-generated crap" while using a keyboard; what a fucking closeted JT fan. You know you love it douchebag...I mean, your girl was diggin' it last night while I had her bent over the speaker with JT's soft crooning in the sails of our love-boat, gently sailing to orgasmland.

P.S. Best T.I. verse since "Rubbaband Man"

By "Computer Generated Crap" I think he meant forwarding thinking, original and a great relief from all the 70's nostalgia music that passes for indie rock

I love this song, and I wish they hadn't put the intro from the CD in the video. Overall, this is the best song on the album. And T.I. definitely stole the show on this one.

eh. i mean, it's not terrible (the song, that is-- the video sucks), but it's not great. the beats, i think, are actually sort of boring. Timbaland could do and has done way better. same goes for JT. overall a pretty boring song.

I'm so pleased other people are closet JT fans!!! I'm not alone. I didn;t really love the first album but (rock snob and all) the new stuff is just so infectious, in a good way.

If liking JT is wrong then I don't want to be right.

It sounds to me like there are a bunch of closet homosexuals posting on this message board. Liking certain kinds of music does not make one a homosexual. Constantly calling others homosexuals and bashing homosexuals on the other hand does lend itself to a sort of latent homosexuality.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Come on people....both Timbo and JT are freakin talented and know what sells. I dont see anybody else doing it! The dancing is on point and the beats and vocals are far from boring or homo.Anybody that has any sense of music appreciation knows that. "Lean wit it" and "Walk it out" are for homos....finally some music with some thought put into it is out. I dont know about others but I would take Justins spot n a second!

I think it is hilarious that some of these postings such as the "fudge-packing flamer" guy are sooo wrapped up in thinking if you like this music you are gay hahaha I think you gotta do some growing up, it's good stuff...it's not for everyone but it's good music to dance to and he is growing as an artist and guys you gotta get over this music association with sexuality..this comment is brought to you by a gay male who likes rap..WAIT does that make me straight? haha
