Timberlake: A Little Too Late?
Does The Music Industry Still Need Justin Timberlake?
Timberlake is far too old for the tween and teen demo, who are helplessly fixated on One Direction and Justin Bieber. Adam Levine is the "falsetto heart throb" while Bruno Mars holds down the Soul n' R&B smashes. Usher and Chris Brown handle the dance hits, while we have a revolving door of male indie pop acts ranging from Gotye to Phillip Phillips to Lumineers to fun. For the first time in a long time, the music industry is oversaturated with male artists, which brings into question -- where does Justin Timberlake fit in? With the release of his upcoming single, "Suit & Tie," one has to wonder: Does the music industry still need him? Has too much time passed? Nelly Furtado learned this the hard way. Weigh in with your thoughts.
