Everyone is fascinated with American Idol these days, even those who admit they aren't even big fans necessarily, but can't stop watching. Take Justin Timberlake for example. The wildly successful former member of NSync and current solo artist looks and sings like someone we'd here on the show -- only he's not impressed with some of the candidates, including winner Taylor Hicks.
"I have a strange relationship with American Idol. I despise it, and yet Iâm completely fascinated. The guy who won -- he looks so normal, and heâs so sweet, and heâs so earnest, but he canât carry a tune," he said.
Still, Timberlake realizes the pressure of being anonymous one day, and placed on a pedestal the next.
"Do you realize how much pressure it is to put on somebody all of a sudden? If he has any skeletons whatsoever... Itâs too much pressure," Timberlake said, no doubt with former bandmate Lance Bass, who recently came out of the closet, in mind. "But thatâs what we do in America. The American dream is still to be young, rich, and famous."
Interesting point. We're not sure if Justin watches the show too closely, because Taylor sure can sing -- at least a well-known record label and the better part of 60 million-plus voters seem to think so! He sure makes us proud!
