To some Justin Timberlake‘s ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ is one of the most annoying songs in recent memory. To others, it’s the smash that defined 2016.
Whatever side of the fence one sits on, the fact is that the song, issued as a single from the ‘Trolls’ soundtrack, is an Oscar nominated recording.
To celebrate said feat, JT opened Hollywood’s biggest calendar night with a spirited showing of the Max Martin production.
Watch him in action below…
Blah.
Kudos to Justin for attempting to provide a fresh twist to a chronically overplayed song. But it was a futile effort that ultimately fell flat.
The track, nominated or not, continues to grate and his performance did little to change that.
Whether win or lose, we’re ready for him to move on and focus on serving up music and performances that are worthy of the Pop superstar status he enjoys. Because, between this and his latest LP ’20/20,’ we remain underwhelmed.

Very disappointing opening for such an important show. He’s done better!
Side note: He needs to apologize to Janet!
Here goes the white privileged Justin Timberlake one day he sings black then goes back being white must be nice to steal and cross over adele music gets played on black radio r&b but black artist get shone from white stations they give all the whites in major category at the grammies but stuck black artist in R&b category
Oooof. I cannot stand him. His career rose while janet was blacklisted. Very underwhelming performance! Very basic!
Honey your comment is basic. Let that hurt go. That was 13 years ago. Get over it.
@ Lol, u mean basic like your looks?
That song is so f****** annoying…LIKE, GO THE F*** AWAY ALREADY.
I like how he changed up The performance up a little with the beat but the song still sucks
Lmao why you mad tho?? I can’t wait to see him win so everyone in this site can seethe. It’s the oscars you idiot. What did u expect? And furthermore, he added a song most of y’all are too white to understand. BE MAD.
And he lost. Stay pressed. STFU!
Im so tired of white mediocrity
I can feel the hate in the air, they wish him bad, they can’t wait to see him fall, from the writer of the article to the commentators, you can tell they’re mad about his nomination, don’t worry, he’s not going to win, stop wishing bad upon him, that’s an horrible thing.
No one’s wishing bad or hating. At all. Why do white people insist on deflecting. His song is basic and forgettable and obviously Payola made. Get real. He’s never been here for people of color yet mocks our music like he JUST did adding a trap section to this basic song that mysteriously made it to the Oscars.
Stfu. He’s talentless and wack, enough said.
He should do a remix to the song
He really scored a monster hit with this song, still charting after a year, at least he does some fun dancing. I respect that in interviews he always gives credit, unlike some other “songwriter”, when asked about what inspired “If I were a boy” she didn’t clarify she didn’t write the song, and in a concert said she wrote irreplaceable for her ladies.
Why are we deflecting from this mediocrity to bring a black woman down? He’s basic. Nuff said.
The annoying Troll song didn’t win lol
Pretty much a ‘Happy’ knockoff
Y’all got JT twisted. He’s hands down one of the best performers. Period. He did a very good job. Y’all be hating. Y’all praise Beyonce mediocre a** performances but hate on everyone else. What did y’all want a ‘Circus’ performance? He had the crowd moving. Justin is very talented.
Yay for gay Sulu at 2:47 in that video!!!! Love him.
