Justin Timberlake is the latest celebrity to get virtually roasted after he brought some cringey dance moves to his world tour.

These days, celebrities who were untouchable ten to twenty years ago are now getting regularly flamed online. Katy Perry is a prime example of this, although now the spotlight has been briefly shifted over to Justin Timberlake, who thought he could squeeze by with his world tour.
Ol' Timberlake is in Europe for his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. This tour completely went past me somehow. Hilariously, however, it was brought to my attention thanks to a fan recording that went viral online.
During a part of the show, Justin Timberlake is seen dancing around the mic stand. Well, "dancing" is putting it strongly. The display was closer to flailing, or a kid's poor attempt at copying a Michael Jackson dance.
The mic stand is so obviously attached to the floor, which could have been a fine touch if he'd pulled off any of the dance moves. It feels like the inanimate object was leading him through the dances.
We shouldn't go so hard on Timberlake. He's known for his vocals, not his performing. But at the same time... you know what? Just have a look for yourself below.
The sound they put over the top of the dancing is too much, but it is funny.

Poor Timberlake got absolutely flamed in the comments of the video. Some urged him to retire, and others simply poked fun at his robotic rendition.
"I think both he and Katy Perry paid big bucks for a famous choreographer named Sparky Polastri," slaughtered one.
"Was he always this bad and we were just too young to notice??!!" questioned another.
"It's giving 'mom watch this,'" jabbed a third.
"And the crowd goes....... home," another joked.
"Some artists need to know when to retire," one more wrote.
Justin Timberlake should have spent some more time practicing. Again, people are there for the singing, but if you're going to perform, perform. Some Dollar Store dance moves aren't enough when you're as big as he is.
