Last week, Grammy-winning artist Justin Timberlake encountered criticism following a performance in Romania that left some fans underwhelmed. Previously a member of *NSYNC, Timberlake’s show received a mix of positive and negative feedback from spectators who had braved the rain to attend the event.
Justin Timberlake faces backlash after Romania concert
Footage from Justin Timberlake’s brief singing stint and subsequent passing of vocal duties to the crowd during his Electric Castle music festival performance on July 17 has gone viral online. Fans have voiced their disappointment on social media, criticizing his limited effort as unprofessional, given the long wait they endured in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

A spectator who asserted they were present at the performance shared a video on X (previously Twitter), commenting, “It poured down rain, I’ve been eagerly waiting for your appearance throughout the day. To begin with, you were late, and then you sang just a few words per song…essentially performing less than a quarter of each song.
As a devoted admirer, I too couldn’t help but observe Timberlake’s stage presence during the performance. It seemed he was donning a hat that somewhat concealed his face, making it challenging for us fans to fully appreciate his expressions while performing. Some fellow spectators speculated about his well-being, questioning if perhaps his current condition might have hindered his vocal abilities.
A Reddit user commented, “His performance was way off-tune, which is rare for him; perhaps he wasn’t feeling well and wanted to push through the concert?” Another fan speculated, “By now in his world tour, he’s clearly exhausted.
For those not familiar, Timberlake has been busy with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. This tour kicked off on April 29, 2024, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, and it was a celebration of the singer’s sixth album, Everything I Thought It Was.
Fans found the world tour extraordinarily memorable since the award-winning artist, who hadn’t performed live for more than five years, resumed his concert series. This continuous tour traversed North America, Europe, and South America, featuring approximately 70 performances at various locations and festivals worldwide.
Justin Timberlake’s current tour has been praised by critics as well. The Hollywood Reporter declared that “The Pop Prince” has returned, expressing enthusiasm, “During his triumphant concert stop…Justin Timberlake spearheaded a revival for the contemporary Pop Prince, with a mix of classic hits and new songs that demonstrate the Grammy-winning artist’s continued presence in the industry.
