If James Brown was the ‘Hardest Working Man in Show Business’ then Justin Timberlake is the ‘Most Ungrateful Man in Show Business‘. Details magazine puts him on their cover and did a puff job interview with him. To read the entire article then click here.

“I tried so hard to be an R&B artist [on his first solo album, Justified] and it was the pop album of the year, and I was like, ‘F@#!. That’s the last thing I wanted,’” Timberlake says, taking a swig from another can of cream soda. “But I was like, ‘So everyone considers me a pop artist? Well, f@#! it. I’m going to do whatever I want to do.’”

The internal battle is most evident when he talks about this year’s Grammys. Weeks in advance of the telecast, he was asked to be the star of “My Grammy Moment,” a cheesy, American Idol rip-off bit in which the winner of a contest got to perform onstage with him. Before the idea was fleshed out, Timberlake agreed. As the potentially disastrous plan hurtled to fruition, he ached to back out. He couldn’t. “Because I’m the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to,” he says, a mock smile locked into place. “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.”

Well duh dude! The reason they hire anyone to host an awards show is in anticipation of that person helping ratings. JT did a fair job at the Grammy’s. He didn’t hit it out of the park or anything.  Justin seems to be very ungrateful to his fans, success, or his musical heritage. If you don’t want to be known as a pop artist then don’t join the biggest boy band of all-time. But then again without N’Snyc we wouldn’t know who Justin Timberlake is…..until he went on ‘American Idol’ and won the show he can’t stand.

Will Timberlake complain next about his record company allowing him to make albums so they can make money? Welcome to show business JT.  Shut up or grow up.
