I disagree. I don't know where his hostility Towards Hicks is coming from, but Timberlake can sing. I'm not much for his musical style...but I saw him on a show once doing live renditions of some old Blues and R&B...he's got talent.
Bring it on down to Omletteville!
He can be funny too.
P.S. I had Hicks to win from his first audition.
