SubscribeJustin cries a river: 'The Grammys used me!'
You'd think Justin Timberlake just had his heart smashed by Britney or Cameron again! Instead, he's pointing his j'accuse finger at poor ole Grammy. He tells Details magazine that, after he agreed to sing at the awardscast with an amateur who won a contest, he had misgivings, but didn't pull a diva act and storm out at the last minute.
"I'm the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to," he says. "But I don't know if I'll be going through that sort of thing again.
"I feel like the Grammys used me for ratings. And look at it-they were up 18 percent!"
Hey, doesn't Justin realize that it's the job of our music heartthrobs to be used and then move on with broken hearts?
Also, it's their jobs to pitch in and help to boost the TV ratings of the music industry's High Holy Event.
Memo to Justin: Jeeeeeeeeez, the Grammys are a nonprofit org that depend on the kindness of studly hit crooners making millions off of the exposure and legitimacy they earn from being part of the industry's Oscar equivalent. Heck, it's not like they asked you to sing "Proud Mary" with Snow White!
Justin should be proud that he's been embraced by the Grammys. Few other heartthrob singers have pulled that off. Ricky Martin managed it, but Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy and so many others had their hearts broken by the Grammys — in a way that hurts much more than what pouting Justin's feeling now.
And it's not as if the Grammys didn't treat him well this year. He lost his bid for Album of the Year ("Future Sex/ LoveSounds"), but received two golden gramophones: for best dance recording ("Sexy Back") and best rap/sung collaboration ("My Love"). He won two additional Grammys, in the pop categories, three years ago. I have a hunch that those are better presents than he ever got from Britney or Cameron!

Well boo-hooey sh*t Justin! I believe when you're nominated for Grammys in the top categories, NARAS usually ask nominated acts to perform. And since Justin likes overexposing his mug at all awards shows he can get on, WTF is he complaining about? Well with this whining, I surely hope NARAS doesn't ask you to return anytime soon to present or perform and hopefully you won't get nominated for jack come next year...what an ungrateful, untalented, overexposed, overhyped, boy-band fluke you are! But you what Justin, the less we see or hear of you, the better...Hell, we don't even miss Britney...and could care less if she ever returns to the music scene...Justin please disappear....your music sucks big time and KIIS fm is such a payola scam of a radio station--that only they would play your sucky music all the time....

Of course the Grammys books people that will help the shows ratings, duh, isn't that the point of a TV show, for people to watch it? How about helping the industry out..the one in which you're making all your millions? And stop whining Justin, it's not like you didn't benefit from it. New song, What Goes Around is getting radio airplay now. Performing it on Saturday Night LIve back at Christmas didn't do that for you, but the Grammy performance did. And if he's complaining about performing with an amateur, guess he doesn't want to give back and help someone else get their start.

Justin should grow a pair and shut up already, I love how he fails to recognize that the exposure of performing over and over helped boost his sales more, in fact after the Grammy perf.his song "What Goes Around..." shoot to number one on itunes and the Billboard Hot 100.What a whiny idiot Timberlake is.
