Justin Timberlake slammed for barely singing during Romania concert: ‘I want a refund’
Can’t stop the backlash.
Justin Timberlake is facing criticism online for his lackluster performance at the Electric Castle festival in Romania last week.
A fan in the audience took a video of Timberlake, 44, barely singing the words to his 2016 smash hit “Can’t Stop the Feeling.”
The Grammy winner pulled up the hood of his jacket as it started raining while he was onstage, before he gestured to the crowd to sing the majority of the next verses of the song.
At the end of the clip, Timberlake walked towards his band and told the audience: “Sing, c’mon.”
In a different video, Timberlake told the crowd: “I’m trying to stay warm. Is the rain always like this in the summer? No? So y’all cooked this up for me? Thanks.”
The fan who shared the first viral clip of Timberlake wrote on the footage, “When you pay for a concert but get a mute singer.”
The TikToker added in the caption, “dude took a day off on stage.”
More critics roasted Timberlake in the comments section.
“This performance could’ve been an email,” one fan wrote.
“The audience ft. Justin Timberlake,” another person quipped.
A different fan wrote, “I want a refund and I didn’t even go.”
“This is awful! People paid to be there and he just couldn’t be bothered,” someone else commented.
“So basically you paid your ticket to listen to yourself,” another fan said.
The Post has reached out to Timberlake’s rep for comment.
Timberlake is currently on the European leg of his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour that began in April 2024. The tour is set to wrap in Istanbul, Turkey on July 30.
Earlier this month, Timberlake was caught screaming at his stage crew during a show at the Lytham Festival in Lytham St Annes, England.
In a fan’s TikTok video, the “SexyBack” singer got upset with two crew members who appeared to be telling Timberlake about the sound issue that interrupted his set.
Once the technical difficulty was resolved, Timberlake continued on with his concert.
Timberlake also faced backlash in Feb. for abruptly canceling his final tour stop in Ohio after coming down with the flu.
The *NSYNC alum said he was “heartbroken” that he had to cancel the concert and promised refunds, but fans still slammed him for the last-minute notice.
In the early months of the tour, Timberlake was arrested for suspicion of DWI in Sag Harbor, Long Island, in June 2024.
The pop star ended up pleading guilty to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired in September and gave a public apology for the incident.
