It’s hard to believe, but six years have passed since Justin Timberlake released the LP ‘Future Love Sex Sounds‘.
Caught between Saturday Night Live, Biel related tabloid inches and a series of here today forgotten tomorrow movies, Justin’s career-albeit relevant- just isn’t what it could be had he continued pushing new music.
So, after watching one time rivals Britney & Beyonce rise to ‘budding icon’ status and having his business model ‘borrowed’ by Usher to create Justin Bieber, we ask:
Can Justin Make A Comeback?
Weigh in below…
![Miguel Announces New Single 'Always Time' / Unlocks Preview [Listen]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/miguel-new-music-2024-2025-tgj-464x260.jpg "Miguel Announces New Single 'Always Time' / Unlocks Preview [Listen].")
He could try, but he’s too busy trying to be an actor. He was always music first so I don’t understand why it has taken him so long to make new music. He needs to come back because sooner or later Justin Bieber will take his place, haha.
what a stupid quiestion… ofcourse he can he knows how to write and produce hits and people want him to sing again so why not?….
FLOP TOPIC!
YESS HE CAN!!! ANY DAY 😐
i don’t car for him after what he did to Janet. p**** boi
Dumbest question ever if he came back it would be larger than life…but he doesnt want to…..what a stupid topic!!!!!!!!!!
Same here @UGH > He needs to hang it up FLATSCREEN!!!
Oh I see the Janet fans are mad.
Mad because when Janet danced with Justin he helped ruin her career but when he danced with Bey he reinforced the iconography of Single Ladies.
And I better not see any Titanic h*** shade him either after the sweet visual tea he gave Riwhorena in Rehab and the songs he wrote for her during the GGGB era. YOU BETTER PAY IT like you know Justin would slay all of your faves if he came back because hes the only one next to Beyonce and GaGa who can put a f***** TALENTED show.
Oh see now this Flophive recruit is finna make me comment on the site for the first time in five years.
Justin is a fool just like your copyright infringing non baby carrying yackie lacefront wearing queen, he was as much as to blame for the malfunction as janet was but he got away with it because he was white and had a pair of balls.
Keep coming for Janet and you’ll have to me to deal with.
BTW, is it true 4 hasnt gone double platinum yet LOOOL.
4th album and already flopping
Rihanna and Chris looked mad as hell after that JT / Beyonce performance. LOL
If Beyonce can go 15 years without doing time for theft, anything is possible. So yes, Justin can make a comeback.
Absolutely!!! He’s just got it! Love JT. Plus, him and Timbo be making those crazy tracks!! =)
@G
Rihanna wasn’t mad my dear, she had just caught the scent of Beyonces sweaty horsetail cap.
hell yeah. Thinking about it he would be a great judge on X factor. Just imagine the judging table Simon, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and LA Ried , sitting in that order. That would bring in ratings
This is why i cant respect Rihanna, jus tlook at the showmanship in the Nsync performance, they aren’t singing live but they are slaying the choreography and give me audio delight with that slamming reworked vocal recording.
When she learns to be HALF of what Beyonce and Justin are THEN we can talk about her being on B’s level. Until then, Rita wig snatching hand awaits.
@TGJ
OH PLEASE!!!
OF COURSE “DUKE TIMBERLAKE” COULD MAKE DAM COMEBACK!!! WTF???
I STAN FOR ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC MEN THIS GENERATION HAS KNOWN THUS FAR…
24 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD (SOLO) WORLDWIDE & 50 MILLION WITH LEGEND-SYNC 😉
ACTING: CHECK
SINGING: CHECK
DANCING: CHECK
WRITES OWN SONGS: CHECK
PRODUCES OWN SONGS: CHECK
WRITES & PRODUCES FOR OTHER ARTISTS: CHECK
AND HE DOESN’T NEED ANY GIMMICKS EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😉 😉 😉
@BROKE-NAVY HATERS
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS “LEGEND-TIMBERLAKE” IS WHAT REALLY SLAYED THAT REHAB VIDEO & SONG.
#OOPS
😉 😉 😉
I started having this itch for JT last year, like I really f****** miss him. Probably because I think he is the only male pop singer that displays manliness. If he could realize he has gotten as big as he gone get in his acting career, cause hes not getting on Angelina/Brad level. But at one point him and Beyonce was the King and Queen of this s***, everytime an awards show came he was bringing it. Now Beyonce lost her partner in crime and now she takes on the both titles…..Yes im bitter
Of course he can, he’s the best young male singer, oh my love!, i wait for this topic for so long, he is a great dancer and he’s singing is not that bad and he’s s***, here my favorite male Musician:
Elvis Presley
Michael Jackson
Prince
Freddie Mercury (Queen)
Frank Sinatra
Bob Dylan
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Jim Morrison (The Doors)
David Bowie
Bruce Springsteen
Ian Curtis (Joy Division)
Morrissey (The Smiths)
Axl Rose (Guns N’ Roses)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode)
Marilyn Manson
Chester Bennington (Linkin Park)
Justin Timberlake
Jared Leto (30 Seconds to Mars)
Brandon Flowers (The Killers)
Lenny Kravitz
Eminem
Kelly Jones (Stereophonics)
Jonathan Pierce (The Drums)
Among others i think i forget some of them.
Yes if he wants it bad enough, i love him and Rih’s song and video together.
Technically, everyone is just one hit away from a major comeback. Since Justin can write and produce and given that he’s established and has had plenty of success in the past, I doubt it would be difficult to produce a smash.
The only problem is that after 4-5 years of acting and making SNL appearances without releasing any music, he might have crossed over to the celebrity side rather than “performer/ recording artist”. The statement he made a few months ago about not taking himself seriously as a musician doesn’t make things any better either.
Still, he’s talented and his music has been good on both of his albums, so I wouldn’t write him off.
@RITA,,,,She don’t have to learn jack for you, you need
to try and learn how to keep her name out of your head, because she
has a canny way of controlling yo mind and your air head. If you want her to be like
beyonce it ain’t happening, deery. So you got beyonce so eat yo heart out deery.
@ONYX
GET IT!!!!!!!
I AGREE WITH YOU SO MUCH, BUT THE ONLY MALE ARTISTS I ACTUALLY LOVE & RESPECT WITH ON THAT LIST ARE:
Elvis Presley
Michael Jackson
Prince
Freddie Mercury (Queen)
Frank Sinatra
Bob Dylan
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Jim Morrison (The Doors)
David Bowie
Bruce Springsteen
Ian Curtis (Joy Division)
Morrissey (The Smiths)
Axl Rose (Guns N’ Roses)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)

LEGENDS!!! WHEN WILL THIS CENTURY FINALLY BIRTH SUCH MALE LEGENDS AS THESE??????? 😉
(BESIDES JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, LENNY KRAVITZ & EMINEM OF COURSE)
@JAKE & BEE HIVE ,,,,,Remember this is your world, we all just
happens to live in it, so what you say and type don’s stop the world
from going around. And while we all know that all of you or the best
the world has to offer, thanks for letting us at least live in yo world……
He can and he WILL! That’s my husband! The End…
@JAKE (KING BEY, QUEEN ADELE, EMPRESS GAGA, PRINCE USHER & DUKE J.TIMBERLAKE = 21ST CENTURY ICONS. #DEAL)
So true.
@Darianna Jones
No b****, he’s mine, stay away from him.
If he wants. “Fascinated” was a catchy and middle-of-the-road typical Timbaland track (in terms of production and feature), but it didn’t catch on because it wasn’t Justin’s song.
As long as J.T. does it sooner rather later, of course.
Tho it would also depend on what kind of music he was making and with what producers.
But in general, I do think so. He is talented musically, lyrically, and people do still love him….Even as he stars in poor movies or acts, errrr emmmm not the best.
I admit I do think he needs to give up on acting and release a few more solo albums, THEN focus on acting as he ages. he is WAY better as an musician than actor. Well I guess on SNL he’s a decent comedic actor. But still not better than his musicianship.
seriously, this question is almost ridiculous. i am not justin’s biggest fan but he’s one of the most talented male singer in the world. enough said.
Justin is one of those artists that is an exception to the music industry rule right now about how you can no longer take so and so years off in the game. If he were to drop an album tomorrow it would probably go no 1 because that’s how big he i s and how talented. Plus it’s not like his been completely missing this whole time, his face has been out there enough for people to not not be interested.
ofcourse he can come back he did made a name for is self.
Do we really want him too? Hahaha
I’m sure if he wants to return to the music industry, he would do it without a problem. He’s talented/ popular/ and his sound is always catchy.
Didn´t he said he is not into it anymore? Maybe I´m wrong but I think he already said he´ll stick to acting from now on
Anyway, I agree with all things about his talent said on here… but this is another post in which people need to relax, a legend he is not, please
If Justin dropped a single and album today he would instantly get his spot back (at the top). He’s white, so he has an advantage. Still, he’s also talented enough to be quite successful again. So, I wouldn’t bet against him.
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
@RoyalKev
Because he’s White, what is that?
These are the people i want to see because i grew up to them.
Justin Timberlake
Beyonce
Usher
Britney Spears
Alicia Keys
Everybody after that if complete and utter b*******. Once it hit 2006 music just began to suck.
Talented Artists CAN Always Make a Comback SamyBoy!
The ? shouldn’t be can he may a comeback but rather does he want to comeback? JT is not focused on music right now he’s doing other major things with his life, and whenever if he ever decides to make another album his fans will be there.
yes he can! no body can’t reaplace him! nobody!
@therealhonesttruth
Oh yeah Britney Spears is this talented and memorable legend right? haha Please music started going downhill since the decade started. In fact the last few years have been a little bit better despite this generic euro dance era we are living in. Since 2006 we had Amy Winehouse, Adele, a real pop superstar that is here to innovate and to stay like we didn´t see since the 90´s (Gaga), etc
@JohnVidal (RIPWhitney-true great)
oh John! leave the poor Britney alone, by the way in what city od Spain do you live?
I said the people I grew up with.
The people I listed are the best if not the greatest of my time.
You can’t compare the people i listed who are in their 30’s or over to Gaga and Adele.
Watch your mouth.
Of course, he’ a great artist ith great music.
i want him and Bey to do a proper duet with video treatment to match. i think he’ll be fine if her comes back to music, depends on the genre tho, that Prince sound he had during his last era wont get him no airplay this msic cliamte we are in but he’s not exactly been MIA so he’s still that Justin. lol i dont think Usher will ever take an elongated break again after the reception of HIS era
@16 Grammys And A Baby To Match
Um, I’m a (casual)Janet fan and I’m not mad at Justin and could care less about him dancing to Single Ladies. I think he could have handled the situation better but mad I am not. Janet’s career took a fall, however, she was a legend before she performed with Justin and she remains a legend til this day. Nothing will change it. Take a seat.
————
Anywho, I think he can do it. He is a very talented . He can write, produce hot songs so I think he would have no issue. I was never a big fan but can see his talent. I liked Cry me a river, Rehab and S*** Back
That H** Juice, of course he can make a comeback! Look at my pic that means he can!
I’m pretty sure he can and Nsync were way more talented and had better voices than the FLOPstreet boys. Btw, Justin use to be so fine before he shaved his head. How could he shave that cute curly blond hair?
@John vidal
I liked the shade. LOL. I can’t say I hate britney cuz she was the ultimate popstar back then but as far as talent she’s limited in her vocal abilities so that’s why I don’t rly think she’s a legend. But she’s pretty iconic in her own type of way with the dance moves. And I agree since britney started getting big in 1999 music went downhill more and more. I gotta say though there was some talented comebacks in 2009 and 2010 with jazmine sullivan and all but 2011 was just one of the worst years for music. It looksl ike it’s slowly starting to pick itself back up this year tho. Brandy is finally back.
YES, yes he can!!!! And i hope he will, if he goes back to the studio with Timbaland & Pharrell, not those electro/pop producers (ahem David Guetta). He’s talented, he produces, has a lovely voice, killer dance moves and fans waiting on him!
JT please come back.
XOXO, Hil.
Bieber can never replace Justin. Mainly because nobody over the age 16 likes Bieber. Little girls grow up.
WHY NOT . he so damn talent dancer , singer eyc . fans still love him after 6 years with out making no muisc . so yeah he be fine.
GAAGLOOO!

Talented Artists CAN Always Make a Comeback.
__________________________________________
^^^^^ This. 🙂
lol where did he go?
He could !!! with Timbo again 🙂
First off, I want to make it clear for the haters: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE WAS THE BOMB. Point blank period.
Now could he make a comeback… I’m pretty sure he will but not at this time because toddl…I mean, people will think he tries to compete with Justin Bieber. I’m starting to like Justin Bieber but he can’t touch Justin Timberlake no ma’am!
Now this is a good question!
Justine TimberFAKE will be in direct competition with Usher and “Babble”. I would love to see how the media divides it’s attention between these three. Babble might win over all (he is the shiny new toy) but JT would more than likely grab the spotlight from Usher.

“I don’t care for him after what he did to Janet. p**** boi” <– THIS RIGHT HERE!
I love how he didn't' have to share in the responsibility for that mess. He was coddled and excused while Janet was excoriated for years! Hell, Madonna was taking shots at Janet back in Jan. of this year when she did the Superbowl Half-Time show. NEVER HAVE I HEARD ONE DEROGATORY WORD aimed at Justine TimberFAKE concerning his responsibility in exposing Janet's breast on that day!
@Onyx
Bob Dylan <— I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WORLD'S OBSESSION WITH THIS MAN? He mumbles worse than that long time wife beater and filthy drug addict Ozzy Osbourne. When he "sings", I never know what the hell he's saying? 0_O …But Roliing Stone Magazine (I guess I should consider the source) lists Bob Daylan as the greatest artist of all times! …..WTH? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
***Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) <— I love this man horrible flaws and all! 🙂
Can JT have a comeback?!
Does Nicki Minaj wear wigs?
Almost 10 yrs later and Janet fans are still bitter. Look, I blame the whole thing on her. Janet has spent the last 20+ yrs acting trampy in her music, in her videos and on stage. The top coming off seemed like par for the course with her…………………and I’d be willing to bet that the whole idea of his pulling off her top was probably HERS. She should have made sure her skivvies were on tighter (that’s IF she wasn’t planning on exposing her b******, which I’m not totally convinced she wasn’t.)
Why did Janet’s career die while his continued to thrive? Take off your stan hats and examine the situation. Justin was in his early 20s then, was hot off of a successful solo debut and his career was still peaking commercially. Janet was nearly 40 and had already long peaked commercially. Her record sales have been dropping since the middle 90s. Janet then went on to release 3 wack ass albums after that that the public didn’t like. The SB only exasperated and sped up what was on course going to happen with her anyway.
Janet put out a garbage album on the heels of the fallout when the controversy was still raging. Justin on the other hand laid low and didn’t release another album for 2 years, which allowed people to move on from the topic. Plus his Future S** album was actually good. Janet’s Damita Jo was a turd (as were the two that came after.) Justin handled the situation better by shutting the f*** up, getting out of dodge and coming back strong when people were ready to see him again. Janet stayed in the kitchen, cooked up s***** food and there you go!
I have no idea what Janet’s whiny fans wanted from Justin or how they think he should have handled the situation. After the fallout I remember him speaking, saying that neither he nor Janet intended to offend anyone and that he was sorry if anyone was. What more could he have done? It’s almost like her fans wanted him to lash out and pick fights with the public and media in her defense. Which would have been stupid and not helped either of them.
@mobwife
He’s one of the most talented musician ever, he’s unique, and Dave Gahan is a badass.
Oh come one, The Likes of Justin, Christina, Britney and Beyonce doesn’t need a comeback. They are already HERE TO STAY! The accomplished a lot and they don’t need to prove their selves more. leave the comeback to Gaga, Rihanna and Katy, let them stop making music for about 4 to 6 years and see what happen…
hell to the fuckkin yeah….byye byye justin hello justin…just because he’s been acting doesn’t mean he still doesn’t do music
I will never understand why he would quit making music when he was the biggest recording artist in the game at that time. He would have been on his way beyond iconic status. I’m not even a fan but he was unbelievably big. Then the music stopped after 2 solo albums. He should have kept the music coming while he was still hott. I believe when he’s older he will look back and wish he had been releasing music at this time so that his legacy Would have been bigger than it already is. Can he make a comeback? Probably so. But even so, so much time has already been wasted.

oh John! leave the poor Britney alone,
——————————————————————————————————-
justin probably wishes people would leave britney alone and stop trying to constantly make a justin britney connection that’s been broken more than 10 years. fans took the breakup far worse than justin. it seemed he was over her about 5 minutes after he finished the ‘cry me a river’ video (good move to sell records)
the last few times he was asked about her (sometime after her breakdown), he
looked somewhat annoyed. wonder if he felt they were using him to make her appear relevant.

this is the pathetic truth. in addition to all of the above, they will render you irrelevant by completely ignoring you. mobwife definitely knows the real deal. as she said “we’ve already witnessed this in recent”.
unfortunately we will continue to witness it in the future.
