Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.
Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an artist with the release of his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which yielded the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.
Justin Timberlake is going viral for all the wrong reasons. The star, who recently performed at DC’s Something in the Water Festival on Saturday, found his dance performance being critiqued online.
Timberlake gave an attempt at the popular Beat Ya Feet dance from the area, but fumbled with his steps. His mistakes didn’t escape the eye of social media users who took the opportunity to make jokes about it.

It was a real khaki vibe.” He concluded his video by promising to do better. READ MORE: Justin Timberlake Reveals How He And Ellen DeGeneres First Became Friends, Makes 24th And Final Appearance On Her Show “I’m gonna focus on these two guys right here and get them right.
