I've never listened to a Justin Timberlake song. I can't name a song by his former group, 'N Sync (maybe I'd recognize something if I heard it--there was a time when it was hard to escape them). So I am speaking here without any knowledge of his talent or lack thereof, though I suspect the latter. Still, for those worried about the future of pop music, Timberlake has good news:

"I realize that I have a platform to push the sound of pop music. That's the only responsibility that I put on myself in recording the album," Timberlake told a news conference at the start of a promotional tour.

"If I'm not going to push it, then who's going to push it?"

Good news, right? You can relax now. Timberlake will push the sound of pop music. Because, you know, if he doesn't, who will?
