must be some kind of superstar

emptyjerrycan:

i think the biggest problem w/ justin timberlake is that it feels so much like “oh here’s an american star blessing our european show!” as if being a superstar matters at all in eurovision. it will definitely cause more exposure for the contest and for the artists. and that’s nice. but i can’t quite put my finger on why it feels so phony. as if going “oh this was a silly contest, now it’s time for a real performer”, like no… no that’s not what it is at all, the main event is the contest, the interval is supposed to be a weird over-long smoke break. it could be totally fun; i just hope this doesn’t overshadow the actual event by turning the interval into a super-bowl halftime show……; because like…. in that case that’s supposed to be the highlight, but here it’s not… it really isn’t

I keep imagining him asking his handlers who various acts are and it upsets me.
