Music sales is a fiercely contested battle zone. JT is really trying to clear the airwaves for Ciara to make her comeback a bit easier in the diva markets of pop music.
Justin Timberlake, under one of his favorites guises of playing a Saturday Night Live guest comedian, did his best to fire a bullet at Stefani Germanotta’s Lady Gaga.
In a rather convoluted skit, about the topic of “plastic surgery”, Timberlake changed Gaga’s Poker Face lyrics from “my poker face” to … “my mediocre face.” He also sandwiched his dig at Lady Gaga’s new star power, between another dig at female pop stars Kelly Clarkson and Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas. Is JT a mysogenist pop prince?
Nasty boy! But we all know in show biz, that a parody is always a huge compliment if seen in a humorous light. Which is how I’m trying to see this skit! If the best Timberlake can do about Lady Gaga’s huge worldwide musical appeal, is to bag the face that she was born with… then Lady Gaga’s musical talent is unstoppable now! :) watch the video here.
