Justin Timberlake revealed the summery, star-studded video for his brand new single, ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ last night. The internet had mixed feelings.
The new song, which is part of the soundtrack for Dreamworks’ forthcoming film Trolls, is certainly a feel-good anthem - helped along by a video which sees Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Gwen Stefani, Kunal Nayyar and a puppy dancing along to the music.
Some people felt that it didn’t quite reach the pop perfection of ‘Cry Me A River’ or ‘Señorita’… to put it mildly.
Justin Timberlake is now embarrassing uncle

Others were quick to defend him though.
If you don't rate Justin Timberlake then I feel sorry for you and how miserable your life must be.
