Justin Timberlake mercilessly mocked for his 'embarrassing' dance moves
Justin Timberlake has had several setbacks on his tour - and his latest viral moment isn't helping.
The singer, 43, is currently on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, but a video showing his on-stage moves is threatening to ruin the world tour - again.
'I mean I love JT just as much as the next boy band obsessed girlypop but LOL this is comical,' TikTok user Diary Of Kikito, who originally shared the clip, wrote.
In the video, from one of Timberlake's latest shows, the Sexyback singer kicked the microphone stand back and forth.
He then stood and held it before lowering it towards the ground and dramatically switching hands.
The video was also shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a post that read: 'Justin Timberlake is once again going viral for his embarrassing dance moves during one of his concerts.'
The post was accompanied by the short clip of Timberlake dancing on a circular stage.
Users chimed in with their thoughts - many agreeing his moves weren't as impressive as hoped.
'It's so funny that people are just NOW realizing how cringe Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake are lol they aren't bad now you guys, they've always been s**t. Both of them have always been the corniest performers ever,' someone else chimed in.
Another chimed in: 'And he thought the DUI was gonna ruin the world tour.'
'This feels like when my kid was small and would yell mom look at this,' laughed someone else.
'He's like a bad magician act in Vegas,' mocked another.
It's not the first time the pop star has been mocked on tour. Last year when a fan filmed him performing in Nashville in December, with the video going viral after being shared on TikTok.
Timberlake was performing at Bridgestone Arena on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour when things took an unexpected turn, as a harness around his waistline drew attention to a particularly noticeable area.
In the footage, the NSYNC star could be seen performing with the harness riding a little too high, making his crotch the star of the moment.
It seems Timberlake must have seen the video - and the comments - and decided to wear a different shirt for his latest show in Kansas City on December 20.
He has faced backlash for canceling multiple shows last minute during the world tour at the beginning of the year
One concert-goer recorded the moment he was attached to the harness and when they shared it on TikTok, they wrote: 'Justin's noticeably longer shirt!'
Timberlake has been marred in controversy over the past year.
Earlier in the year, he has faced backlash for canceling multiple shows last minute during the world tour.
Most recently, he canceled his final concert in Columbus, Ohio in February due to illness, but fans were left furious as they had already been lining up with minutes left before the doors would be opened when they found out.
Timberlake has also been slammed for performing very few of his nostalgic hits and rather singing songs nearly all from his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, an album that few concertgoers seemed to know the words to and had been branded a commercial failure.
Back in June 2024, Timberlake was pulled over under the suspicion of drunk driving in Long Island.
On June 18, it was reported that he failed a series of sobriety tests at the time, according to a police report exclusively obtained by
He accepted a plea deal following his arrest, which saw bodycam footage going viral when he was seen telling the officer, who did not know who he was, that the arrest 'would ruin the world tour.'
