While Justin Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour may have officially wrapped in February, the 44-year-old star is still on the road amid his 27-date string of one-off concerts and festival appearances across the globe.
However, fans have been left disappointed by Justin’s efforts at these shows, with the star going viral for his “go girl, give us nothing” stage presence.
In multiple videos from various concerts, Justin can be seen hardly singing as he instead encourages the crowd to perform for him. In fact, Justin barely sings more than a handful of words throughout.
In a clip from his Romania show on July 17, the opening beat for his 2016 hit “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” starts playing, and Justin sings three words of the opening line before holding the mic out to the audience.

“I got this,” he begins, with the star concealed by a hooded jacket due to the rainy weather. Justin doesn’t sing again for 20 seconds, where he delivers the first three words of the second verse, “I got that,” and dances awkwardly in one spot.
And if you’re wondering, “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” is not the only song that Justin gives this energy for, with videos from various other songs on his setlist showing a similar situation. One disappointed concertgoer captioned their video of Justin performing “Cry Me A River” with: “Justin ‘I didn’t know I was supposed to sing at a concert’ Timberlake,” and the video certainly suggests exactly that.
And when someone commented on the viral TikTok to claim that it had been cut “just when he was about to sing,” the original TikToker replied with the receipts.
Needless to say, people have been quick to roast the star in the comments of these viral TikToks, with one comment that has over 84,000 likes reading: “I want a refund and I didn’t even go😭”
Justin himself has not addressed the conversation surrounding his recent performances, and BuzzFeed has contacted his rep for comment.
