Is he too old now and no longer sexy enough to pull of Timbaland sound? He's a father now. Maybe he should do country music. That Chris Stapleton collab wasn't too bad.
Really seems like this next album will be make or break for his music career.

Justin's career was all good timing and ruthless ambition. He had stage mom, Lou Pearlman, Disney and Jive on his side. He made smart decisions and did a bunch of movies and SNL which made him more money in between albums. I'll give him credit as he can sing on key, writes songs and can play instruments which is a lot more than some of todays artists manage. He has all the money to retire, play golf and cheat on Jessica in peace. He needs to stop trying to get hit albums, it's not happening.

MJ, Janet, Mariah and Madonna usually spaced their albums by 3 to 4 years. JT spaced his albums way too long. Also, he's not an artist, he's an entertainer and brand. He puts on a show but clearly is all about money and cynical. He can't compare himself to Prince or Michael Jackson because he is not a true genius or cares about making art or a statement. His songs are soulless and heavily processed. He's as inauthentic as they come. But he's from an entirely different era. JT doesn't hide he's a greedy narcissistic pig who just wants fame and money rather than taking risks.
Im not a fan, but at least with Usher you can tell he cares about his craft and is a passionate performer.

Nothing went wrong. He's had one album that underperformed (and still went to number one) in a career of two decades. He's still a major live draw and will no doubt make a good comeback with his next album. MJ fans have always had a pathetic hatred of Justin. You'd think they'd have grown up by now, but obviously not.

You'd think they'd have grown up by now, but obviously not. A number one album really means nothing when it drops off the chart straight away. Besides, nowadays thanks to first week streaming and all sorts of tricks it isn't that hard to top the chart. Plus record sales are way down. Previously getting into the top 10 was an achievement as it meant you sold a shedload.

I just wish Black artists were courted to do R&B music again. I'm tired of the imitations.

It doesn't help that he appears to have aged out of his sex appeal. He's starting to look like John Goodman.

I don't think anything happened. He was popular for quite a long time, and made a big comeback relatively recently. His recent stuff hasn't been as great, which is probably one we're generally seeing less of him.
