Justin Timberlake Faces Fan Backlash for Minimal Singing at Multiple European Shows

Justin Timberlake has faced widespread criticism from fans for his recent live performances, particularly at the Electric Castle music festival in Romania, where videos showed him largely relying on the audience to sing while he sang very little or not at all. Fans expressed frustration with Timberlake's low-energy stage presence, late arrivals, and apparent lack of engagement, describing his shows as disappointing and accusing him of doing the "bare minimum" by not singing full verses and instead encouraging crowd participation. Social media users have mocked his performances as a "karaoke tour" and questioned the value of paying for tickets when the singer contributes so little vocally. This pattern of lackluster performances has been noted at multiple European shows, including Lollapalooza Paris, with some fans speculating about possible vocal health issues, though no official statement has been made by Timberlake or his representatives. The backlash highlights growing dissatisfaction with Timberlake's current tour, which promotes his latest album, Everything I Thought I Was, as he prepares to conclude the tour with a final show in Istanbul. Overall, the singer's recent concerts have been met with disappointment and calls for refunds from paying audiences.
