He's an American pop singer who is called by the nickname JT. He won 6 grammys and 2 emmys. And I believe that he has the most versatile voice in the industry after the King Of Pop MJ himself. The hits that made him win millions of American hearts are the songs "What Goes Around", "My Love" and "Sexyback".

But I guess it all started when he sang the song "Bye Bye", in his boy band N'Sync. If you've heard the song, yes, JT did sing it.

Timberlake andJC Chasezwere the two lead singers of the popular 1990s boy band'N Sync.The group formed in 1995, started its career 1996 in Europe, and hit it big in the United States in 1998 with the US release of its debut album*NSYNC, which sold 11 million copies.The album included a number of hit singles such as "Tearin' Up My Heart". For the next two years, encouraged by similar developments with theBackstreet Boys, 'N Sync engaged in a lengthy legal battle with managerLou Pearlman. Eventually the band signed withJive Records.'N Sync released a long-awaited album,No Strings Attached, in March 2000, which became the fastest-selling album of all time with 2.4 million copies sold in its first weekand produced a #1 single, "It's Gonna Be Me". The release was followed by the band's third album,Celebrity, which held the title of the second-fastest selling album of all time. In 2002, after the completion of aCelebrity Tourand the release of "Girlfriend", the third single fromCelebrity, the group decided to take time off, at which point Timberlake began work on his first solo album and the group went into a hiatus. In its lifetime, 'N Sync was internationally famous and performed at theAcademy Awards,theOlympics,and theSuper Bowl,as well as selling more than 50 million copies worldwide,becoming thethird-best selling boy bandin history.

In February 2004, during the halftime show of theSuper Bowl XXXVIIIbroadcast on theCBStelevision network, Timberlake performed with Janet Jacksonbefore a television audience of more than 140 million viewers. At the end of the performance, as the song drew to a close, Timberlake tore off a part of Jackson's black leather costume in a "costume reveal" meant to accompany a portion of the song lyrics. According to CBS, "both Jackson and Timberlake had confirmed they planned it 'independently and clandestinely' without informing anyone."Part of the costume detached, and Jackson's breast was briefly exposed.Timberlake apologized for the incident, stating he was "sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl...."The phrase "wardrobe malfunction" has since been used by the media to refer to the incident and has enteredpop culture.

As a result of the controversy, Timberlake and Jackson were threatened with exclusion from the2004 Grammy Awardsunless they agreed to apologize on screen at the event.Timberlake attended and issued a scripted apology when accepting the first of twoGrammy Awardshe received that night (Best Pop Vocal AlbumforJustifiedandBest Male Pop Vocal Performancefor "Cry Me a River").

Now, JT is one of the most commercially acclaimed singer in all of America. He has also acted in a few movies(I was unable to get those sources).Well that's JT for ya.
