Poor American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was first humiliated by wearing a purple leisure suit on national television, and now Justin Timberlake is piling on the embarassment. After first saying Hicks can't sing, he follows up with a gentler "maybe he's gay" insinuation. Talk about a one-two punch to the gut.
The guy who won — people think he looks so normal, and he's so sweet, and he's so earnest, but he can't carry a tune in a bucket. Do you realize how much pressure it is to put on somebody all of a sudden? If he has any skeletons whatsoever; if, God forbid, he's gay, and all these people in Mississippi who voted for him are like, 'Oh, my God, I voted for a queer!' It's just too much pressure.
We decided to put things in perspective for you by publishing the above photo from the days when everyone thought Justin Timberlake was a lesbian.
Timberlake speculates on 'Idol's' sexual orientation [AP]
You are so right! In this photo, Justin T. looks a lot like a lesbian I know.
Isn't this old news from last week? I thought Timberlake's rep already 'apologized' and said the remarks were 'out of context' (although how you take those comments out of context remains a mystery to me).
I sure hope that Taylor Hicks isn't Gay....we don't want him on his team. To me, he had no talent but screamed a lot and make it seem like he had talent. Nor did I think the diva wanna be Catherine McPhee had talent either. I thought Elliot and Chris did. Elliot had the voice (but needed help in the charisma department) and Chris had the rocker voice/charisma but needed help in creating a better voice. Now, I have always believed that Justin Timberlake is Gay. I knew that Lance Bass was Gay (he was often spotted in Gay bars in NYC).
Would Justin Timberlake even have a career were it not for gay men? And yes, count me in as one of those who always has assumed that JT was indeed a member of the club.
However, I do agree with JT that Hicks can't carry a tune in a bucket. Have you seen that horrible Ford ad where he sings? COME. ON.
JT is the one who is gay, it is obvious Taylor is not. He has no style. :-)
I do think Taylor has talent though and he can sing. I guess you just have to like old school music to appreciate Taylor. He deserved the win.
I used to like Chris until I heard he is homophobic.
Mr. Timberlake can only hope to be as manly as Taylor Hicks is (just look at the pic of JT above). Who said guys couldn't wear purple anyway! Mr. Hicks brings sexy back, and I'll be in line to buy his albums! To tell people that Mr. Hicks can't sing is nauseating. I love music, and I'm a big fan of Taylor Hicks' music. He is the real deal.
DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP. ENOUGH OF TIMBERFLAKE!!
Best take on the Timberflake v.s. Hicks schitz yet! Love that pic of "Not-Sexy-back ". Friggin' hilarious.
Thanks.
Who cares what Justin Timberlake thinks, any ways! He looks very "gay" in that picture. I would love to see JT try out for American Idol to see how far he would go. Taylor has a great voice. The critics need to hear him sing more than the Ford commercial and that one single AI wrote for him. The votes for Taylor on AI said it all.
Taylor Hicks is a talented man who has nothing to prove anymore...JT has the need to reassure himself I guess..Taylor Hicks..You Are The Real Deal...What's left to say...Deb In B'ham
I think it's shameful that JT would say this...people in glass houses, hello?? Plus how does his "good friend" Lance Bass feel about his comments? I'm not pissed he insinuated Taylor is gay (he obviously isn't), but the way he made it seem a negative. I agree, Taylor is talented and deserved to win. Someone who was in a boy band has a LOT of nerve. What an idiot.
I think that JT made those comments about Taylor because he is fighting with himself, He seriously wants Taylor, and he knows that he can't have him..
It scares me to no end to realize that there are members of the so-called Soul Patrol that are gay. So much for gays being the monikers of taste...
Timbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer, an idiot's about to fall.
I have NEVER been a fan of Justin Timberlake, however I have not bashed the "entertainer". I find it very sad that he must be so unsatisfied with his life/talent/career, that he needs to put down another artist. Taylor Hicks is HOT with a capital H! Perhaps he was not "groomed" to entertain via the Mickey Mouse Club or Star Search...Mr Hicks was BORN to entertain...and that he does! I have and will continue to buy any music put out by The Soulpatrolman! I was hooked on Hicks from the start. Not sorry to say that I can't even name one song of JT's. I think JT's comments are just proof that ageing does not always accompany maturity. Cameron...could you please teach your little boy some manners?
I HAVE ALWAYS HATED JUSTIN JIMBERLAKE,BUT NOW I HATE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE EVEN MORE FOR HATING ONE OF MY FAVORITES TAYLOR HICKS. I NEVER WANTED TAYLOR HICKS TO WIN THOUGH, BUT I AM STILL O.K. THAT HE WON. I WOULD OF RATHER WANTED IT TO BE CHRIS OR ELLIOTT BECAUSE THOSE WERE MY 2 FAVORITES RIGHT FROM THE AUDITION. I LIKE KAT THOUGH, BUT NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD MAKE IT TO THE TOP 2 MAYBE THE TOP 3, BUT IT IS O.K. OF WHERE SHE MADE IT ON THE SHOW. KAT HAS ALWAYS HAD BAD LUCK SENSE BEFORE THE SHOW AND AFTER. FIRST SHE HAD BALIMA BEFORE THE SHOW. THEN SHE WAS SICK FOR MOST OF THE TOUR IN JULY. THEN WHEN SHE GOT BACK AT THE SHOW SHE BROKE HER ANKLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I FEEL SO BAD FOR HER. I WILL BUY ALL THE IDOLS CD'S THAT COME OUT WITH ONE, BUT I WON'T BUY KELLIE PICKLERS BECAUSE SHE IS SO ANNOYING.
First of all, it was not a leisure suit that Taylor wore at the finale. He wore a JACKET and JEANS. Taylor has more class and talent than MOUSE MAN will ever have. MOUSE MAN is only trying to get publicity cause nothing is going on for him right now. His "sexy back" song sucks, you can't even understand what he is saying. At least Taylor sings from the heart, and doesn't have to bash anyone else. Bad move MOUSE MAN! Oh and by the way, isn't Justin also from the south, and got his start on the MICKEY MOUSE CLUB and STAR SEARCH??????????

spiffy....your comments have proved your own point. Tolerance anyone???

JUSTIN is SICK, and JEALOUS of TAYLOR HICKS!!!! Probably because Lance came out, and did not share his relationship with HIM!!!! Just LOOK at who is calling the kettle black!!! Justin, you need to look in the mirror before you call anyone else GAY!!!! And just for the record, TAYLOR would be HOT even if he were GAY!!! It's the VOICE and the BODY idiot!!!! Don't you get it???? Taylor has the WHOLE package, and HE didn't get it from a "Micky Mouse Show! TAYLOR IS ALL MAN, BUT IF ANY GAYS WANT TO SHARE IN MY FANTISCY, YOU ARE WELCOME! So there Justin.... There is enough of the SOUL PATROL to share! ;-) Like I said, TAYLOR IS HOT!!!!
I love it! Great picture! But seriously, I feel sorry for Justin. I'll never understand why people try to tear other people down. But it maked me wonder; is he trying to distance himself from Lance? Hmmm ..
Obviously, Queerty hasn't mastered 2nd grade reading skills. Justin didn't "Call Taylor Hicks Gay," he posed a hypothetical about someone who did win, and the pressure on that person. Maybe you can't tell the difference, Frank, but the rest of us can.
TOO FUNNY!! Coming from a boy band has-been! ROTFLMFAO!!
Exactly, Theo. He didn't say Hicks was gay, just talked about how his fans would react if it turned out he was. The thing I asked myself on reading his outburst was what prompted it? Why diss Hicks' singing? (I'm not a fan but he clearly has a much better voice than Timberlake) And why the gay question? Maybe Lance's recent coming out was on his mind.
What is strange is that the theoretical question he applied to Hicks is one that another former Idol contestant, Clay Aiken, is living right now. Luckily for him, his fans seem to have dismissed the claims of the guy who said he slept with him as nonsense, because many of them would dump him in heartbeat if they believed the claims. If it hadn't been for the "can't carry a tune in a bucket" comment (which would be even more absurd applied to Clay), I might have thought Justin got his Idol contestants mixed up and was actually talking about him, not Taylor.
JT is such an idiot to begin with. He just wanted his new, sucky song to climb the charts, so he decided to make a racket. He only chose Taylor because he fears him that when his new cd hits in a few months, it is going to put him out. I knew Taylor would win from day one, I'm 18 and he is totally sexy. JT looks like a freakin plucked chicken with a high pitched little girls voice. Eat that JT.
SOUL PATROL!
Timberlake is feeling his career slipping away. With a few really talented singers coming from American Idol, Justin is feeling the fear that he won't be around much longer. Britney is over and it's Justin's turn to give up the lip synching and the phoney sexy pose. This was done to get attention. Too bad he is so trashy to pick on a talented newbie.
That is so funny. I burst out laughing at the last line -the "lesbian" reference. TOO FUNNY!!! Who writes this stuff.
JT is definitely gay. Not sure if he'll ever come out though. I'm not even sure if he's fully admitted it to himself. I don't say that often about celebrities, but my gaydar goes nuts when I see him on an interview. So gay -- mark my words! (Although, he'll probably forever be ashamed and lock himself in a dark closet with a disco ball.)
