Jermaine Dupri Blasts Justin Timberlake

Image by Splash News

Jermaine Dupri has a new autobiography called Young, Rich and Dangerous and let’s just say he’s dedicated a sentence of two to blast Justin Timberlake.

Jermaine basically blasts JT for his lack of star power saying, "I think Justin Timberlake is a talented performer. But he's very ordinary-looking. He could be any skinny white kid from the suburbs of Orlando. You could go to the mall and find another Justin.

"He doesn't make his style interesting even when he's onstage. To me, he just doesn't look like a star."

Jermaine actually does have a point! I think JT is very talented but is lacking in the looks department or maybe it’s just his arrogance that’s such a turn-off. Do you guys think JT is hot?

2:16AM 02/18/08 SEXY T

I THINK A LOT OF YALL ARE HATERS. JD WITH HIS UGLY ASS CAN NOT TALK ABOUT NOBODY. BECAUSE I REALLY DAN'T NO WHAT THE HELL JANET IS THINKING. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER GOING FOR JUSTIN. NOT ONLY IS JUSTIN HOT AND FINE BUT CAN SING AND DANCE HIS ASS OFF. SO STOP HATING CAUSE THE WHITE GUY GOT TALENT. DAMN YALL HATING.....

Lets see this from a neutral angle: Justin looks, acts, sings like a geeky mamma's boy. If any girl finds him attractive I'm glad i'll never meet one of those! Lets face it, without timberland's production he is nothing. Justin filled a gap that was left behind by michael jackson with his high pitch howling and those 2nd hand dance moves from the 80's. Nothing is original or innovative!! I realy hate these fabricated wannabes and encourage true musicians to step up and demand their place in the industry.

STFU, jealous people. Someone that actually DOES write songs, produce them (also for OTHER ARTISTS), not only for him), sing (also LIVE, he doesn´t lipsync), dance, play piano and guitar (specially on concerts, while singing) isn't talented for y'all? Michael Jackson used to do these things (some of his songs weren't even written or produced by him, so...), too, the only difference is that he sold more. You don't need so sell more to be a good singer/musician. Please, people... I am sure you're all hating just because it's JT. You don't even know him. Also, how does a star have to look like?? Always smiling and with make up?? Looks are the last important thing for an artist. Charisma, sense of humor and talent are those small things that make an artist a star.

It's similar to why so many people like Usher too.

9:37AM 01/12/08 Free Bird

One of his biggest selling features is the fact that JT DOES seem normal/average. See most people in the world (look around) have average looks and don't look like Hollywood actors/models. JT seems pretty authentic for a white guy doing his thing. So people like that. (He completely stylized so how authentic he really is is hard to tell). But the fact that he seems like a fairly normal/nice guy is why people like him. I'm obviously talking 'normal' for a popstar. It's like how you want your friend/next door neighbour to be successful. Also it's nice to have some light tunes to listen to with your girl. Sometimes you just want popcorn. And she loves it. Peace.

10:55PM 12/22/07 THE REALEST NIGGA EVER

TALENTED???.. BITING MOVES FROM OLDER & OTHER CATS & NOT BEING ABLE TO SURPASS THEM DOESN'T MAKE YOU A GREAT DANCER.. HE MIGHT BE BETTER THAN MOST WHITE BOYS AT DANCING.. SO WHAT?!! THAT STILL DOESN'T MEAN CRAP!!.. I'M SORRY BUT, ITS STILL TRUE 99% OF WHITE BOYS GOT WEAK STEEZ WHEN IT COMES TO WICKEDLY DOPE MOVES!!!.. ITS NOT LIKE HE CAN BREAK-DANCE OR DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL.. AND HIS VOICE?.. THIS LIL QUEER'S VOICE IS ANNOYING AS F*%K.. SO THE QUESTION NOW IS, DOES HE COMPOSE HIS OWN MUSIC?, PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS?, WRITE HIS OWN LYRICS?.. HELL THE EFF NO!!!.. WITH ALL OF THIS BEING SAID J.T. IS JUST ENTERTAINING CORNY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO THINKS HE CAN SING & DANCE.. THERE IS NOTHING DOPE ABOUT THIS CAT.. NADA!!! AND HE'S A FRAUD PECKERWOOD WHO DIDN'T WANNA STAND-UP & SAY HE KNEW ABOUT THE WHOLE JANET INCIDENT DURING THE SUPERBOWL.. FRAUD LIL FAG SELLIN' OUT.. WEAK ASS CRACKER!!!.. AND YOU CLOWNS WANT TO CLAIM HE'S TALENTED?!!.. NEGRO PLEASE!!!

10:27AM 12/07/07 tt

JD is right Justin can not dance, Im not a hater Im just stating facts. I think Robyn Thicke is a better singer. Justin is just plan cocky and needs to be brought down. i don't like him, especially he was mad at the Grammy Awards because they didn't mention him as a R&B singer. He is not R&B, aint nothing about him R&B

5:39AM 11/24/07 STE

Man Fuck Jermaine...lil 4ft mole man wit no "rapping" talent what so ever! JT is in another league compared to that lil commercial gangsta fool!

0:21PM 11/18/07 Randy

Everybody here always seems biased towards the brother. C'mon people. JT has talent. He obviously entertains. If not, then somebody had better tell those millions of people who buy his albums, and go to his concerts. Not only that, but JT is hilarious on SNL, so the guy has some acting skillz as well. JD on the other hand, should be the last one to talk. You wanna bring looks into this?? Sure Justin may look ordinary, but JD could easily be the guy standing on the freeway offramp asking for change. Nuff said. JD needs people to buy his book, and since controversy sells, why not bag on the most successful R&B/pop artist today?

11:06AM 11/16/07 Ashely

Jermaine Dupri is right Justin is just another White boy that is trying to do R&B music and stealing it, thinking it's cool. He will never be Mike, Prince, Stevie, Usher. He needs to quit and stick to his corny a*^ Pop music.

11:01AM 11/16/07 Nia

I agree with Jermaine. Justin is just a white boy trying to be black. These days you can find them anywhere and make them a star. They just need to be cute and know how to dance. I think he is a sellout, he did to Janet, and he did it to Britney, and his so call friends and ex band members N'sync. Who needs an enemy when you have Justin Timberlake as a friend?

10:56AM 11/16/07 Kelly

I think Jerum or whatever his name is, is talking crap.. I could probably go to Birmingham and find another him! He's just jealous cuz he'll never be as well known as justin..

9:05AM 11/09/07 Joe

Janet I love you!

9:04AM 11/09/07 Joe

Janet is a shining star that will never go out. Justin is a fuck loser! A real pussy if you ask me when it came to the superbowl.

8:49AM 10/25/07 vickie

hell yeah,jarmine is right,justin is no talent he tries so hard to be black man pls justin sucks,he copies usher and pls he has a terrible behavior he is so aragont I mean look at what he did to britney telling the whole they slept together when it is suppose to be a secret act between 2 people and not standing up for janet that was aweful he is so untrustworthy how come all his songs are done by timberland justin stop trying to be black u dont belong with us

2:00AM 10/25/07 theriso

JT is the hottest thing alive! Jermaine is a fine one to talk! who still remembers him! JT is amazing!

7:25AM 10/24/07 Camila

He is beautiful! He is so talented and so classy looking he's on top of everything!

8:41AM 10/23/07 marge

JT is a spineless punk bitch.

7:55AM 10/23/07 jack

He is very talented. No doubt about it. But he doesn't seem like a tough guy at all. I dont think he would ever save a girfriend or anything. Seems more like the girlfriend might have to do the saving. Like a bit of a sissy la la.

2:36AM 10/23/07 Jess

IN THE END, People who write books slamming other people are pathetic losers. He's just tryna cash in on Justin's fame. Stop hating, it's about entertainment not looks. How vain are you? I'm not a hug fan but his music is fun - it's good at parties. If you make it to the top you deserve to be there. If he's just another skinny white kid then we'd have more Justin's, but we don't because he obviously has what it takes. Case closed.

10:06PM 10/22/07 angel

No one is paying attention to Janet? Thats why her movie went to number one right? Shut up. Justin Timberlake cannot dance, write and produce. He is a produce of The Neptunes and Timbaland. Anyone who actually think he has genuine talent are no different from Elvis Presley. Anyone can 'dance' like Justin Timberlake with a choreographer. Anyone can 'write' those simple ass lyrics in his songs. Lol @ the way his fans are hyping Justin Timberlake! He isn't John Lennon. Produce? Hiring the hot producers at the moment doesn't mean anything. Calif girl, you must be ill informed if you think Justin Timberlake has more success than Jermaine Dupri LOL. JD is one of the wealthiest producers out there. What does it matter how long Janet had a hit? How long did Michael have a hit? Madonna? Prince? Celine? At least Justin doesn't have to strip to be talented. You're a moron. Justin Timberlake talented? LOL. He is just a bubblegum wannabe-soul singer that survived from the late 90s. Janet Jackson is talented. Janet has had a 30+ year career, and has broken records that to this day, no one has surpassed. If she had to strip to be talented, she'd have done it a long time ago you dumbass.

9:38PM 10/22/07 jo

Dammit, I know the difference between you're and your. I hates when I fuck up da grammar...it's embarrasing.

9:36PM 10/22/07 jo

I think he's talented, but whiny. He's always going on and on how great he is...humble pie is going to taste mighty rough when it's served up, as it always ends up being, at some point. He can dance, he can sing (marginally), he's got some style...sure, it comes from a thousand r/b legends before him, but still...his biggest crime is he's a punk ass about everything. Stop tooting yo' own horn, just do your thing...stop acting like your the savior of music, cuz what your putting out is the thing right now, but remember, what you put out in the late ninties was the thing then, too. This too shall pass. Save some good will, eh? As to the Superbowl shit, they were both at fault, both should have been equally on blast, and both should have taken responsiblity... but PAB weenied out of his share and that will always leave some with a poor opinion of him. Actually, just for simulating ripping/forcing a girl he aught to be whipped. Course then he'd cry a like a baby...

7:43PM 10/22/07 Lu

Thank goodness someone has finally put it in print... Justin is UGLY!!!! Besides that he's a talentless mama's boy. I don't know what Jessica sees in him... he's making her look bad like she can't find anyone better than that!

6:57PM 10/22/07 Lovestoned

Are you KIDDING me????? Justin Timberlake is hot as hell...and it's not JUST his looks....he is talented,sweet, charming...he can dance....he can sing!!! What more could you want in a man???????? Who ever the hell JD is,he has no right to dis Justin like that. You people are nuts!!!!! If he was just an ordinary guy, boy, he would catch my eye!!JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE ROCKS!!!!!

6:55PM 10/22/07 Lovestoned

5:42PM 10/22/07 someone

I CAN'T STAND THAT TRAMP JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE JD IS SOOO RIGHT JD MAY NOT BE PRETTY BUT THAT ISS SOO TRUE AND THIS COMMENT IS COMING FROMA FEMALE..THAT DUDE IS NOT SEXY HE GOT ALL OF YALL BRAINWASHED!!

4:53PM 10/22/07 hmmm

yes you are right. he isnt good looking. his looks actually eeek me out. but his music and dances are amazing. but he is wayyyyy too cocky.

4:03PM 10/22/07 chiso

i don't think justin is hot because of his looks.. he's hot because he;s really talented, can dance amazing and trust me after seeing him in concert you will all agree that he is hot!!

1:49PM 10/22/07 Nunya

JD is one to talk about someone else's looks. He needs to worry about his own career and stop worring about how Justin looks. Justin is a total package, quit hatin JD.

1:27PM 10/22/07 Your daddy

What's up with everyone hating on Justin? He has way more style and success than Jermaine Dupree! Janet hasn't had a hit in how long?????... Why do people always have to find something negative to talk about when someone is having a better year than you? It's Janet's fault that she decided to show her fake boob to the world. It backfired. No one cared. At least Justin doesn't have to strip to be talented.

0:22PM 10/22/07 lor

Nigga please... Did you take a look in the mirror you ill dressed freak. Justin has all the right stuff. He can dance, sing, write & produce. His is a quadruple threat. He may be average looking but what he's got you cannot buy at Janet Jackson's plastic surgeon's office. He is damn SEXY and he is bringing sexy back. Being a star isn't just about your physical appearance.

0:22PM 10/22/07 Calif girl

Both JT and Jessica are very ordinary looking- where I live they wouldn't get a second glance.

10:31AM 10/22/07 johnny

if it werent for timbaland, justin would be still collecting his penny checks for n'sync royalties.

10:21AM 10/22/07 hey hey

Finally! someone said the truth. except he mistakenly said JT is talented. Justin is talentless. talent springs from nowhere, not from Mickey Mouse club/ cute white boy band?!!! he wines ..where do people find his fatally ear damaging fake attempt at singing soul appealing? we need to discern whack from classic. ive seen/heard better he's white( a mix between keanu reeves and bradpitt), and has plenty of soul (15yrs) and is well known outside of the U.S.

9:59AM 10/22/07 Lyon

People only think JT is hot because he's a star. If he was just a normal person working at the local Starbucks, you wouldn't give him a 2nd glance. He's actually kinda fug. I see better looking guys every day.

8:26AM 10/22/07 Felicia

this is rediculous. yeah justin isn't gorgeous, but neither are a lot of celebrities. and if he didn't have star power why does he sell as many albums as he has and why did he just break the record for the artist this decade to have 6 top 40 hits?! i think someone is just jealous and trying to create some hype around his book no one was interested in.

8:12AM 10/22/07 shiesty

You people are hilarious. Justin Timberlake is hott as hell. He's gorgeous. Sure he's not overly flashy but he has a great personality and is very charming. J.D. can't talk about anybody wit his ugly ass. I mean c'mon Justin may be a little cocky but it's neccessary. But he is fine and talented.

8:03AM 10/22/07 not a fan

hes an arrogant fuck hate him

8:00AM 10/22/07 Yoni

Justin is totally hot!

7:33AM 10/22/07 stefystef

I never thought he was good looking. He was the cutest in his boy band, but really he's not good looking. Just an ordinary white kid with some talent. Jermaine is still pissed off because that stupid stunt messed up Janet's career for a long time.

7:30AM 10/22/07 Stacy W

He was ugly to begin with and his arrogance makes him hideous. What is Jessica Biel doing with him??

7:18AM 10/22/07 dee

all ya'll suck.jd is just mad that noone is paying janet any attention.she needs to give it up & retire & jd can't talk about anyone's looks he looks like an alien

7:16AM 10/22/07 Tasha

I have never thought JT was hot and wonderered what Britney saw in him. But JD isn't hot either. That Superbowl fiasco was Janet's decision and not a very good one.

7:13AM 10/22/07 yup

I don't think he's hot at all!!

6:58AM 10/22/07 amanda

That boy JT annoys me to the max, I can't wait for him to be a has been. He is arrogant.

6:15AM 10/22/07 whocares

oh suck you haters. i'm a black woman...so let's not use the race card. Janet should've known better...she's the veteran not JT. she should have remembered it was half-time at a public venue...not her concert.

6:01AM 10/22/07 ann

I AGREE!!!!!!! Jermaine is so right on everything he wrote. JT acted like such a white boy pussy when the superbowl thing happened. hes just a girl that needs a good beating

5:59AM 10/22/07 murphy

I don't think he's hot.. never did..and always wondered why everyone else thought he was.. he is just another skinny white kid with a not so pretty face.
