‘What a joke': Justin Timberlake fans demand refunds after the star ‘barely sings' during latest concert
Timberlake is currently embarking on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which has already sparked viral videos for all the wrong reasons.
One video shared by a fan at the star's show at Electric Castle festival in Transylvania on July 17 shows the star appearing rather unenthused at the notion of having to perform.
The clip shows the star during a performance of Can't Stop The Feeling, however, the word 'performance' appears to be quite a stretch.
'Is the rain always like this in the summer? No? So y'all cooked this up for me? Thanks,' he said complaining about the weather.
He keeps holding the microphone at the crowd encouraging them to sing before pulling up his hood and singing a handful of words, then turning to the audience again.
Another clip that went viral showed the star barely singing his smash hit Mirrors, with the caption from a fan saying: 'Go girl, give us nothing!
'Can yall just peep that attitude at the end too like he was mad yall didn't sing it loud enough. When he's the one getting paid to do that,' remarked one annoyed fan.
Another agreed, replying: 'This is awful! People paid to be there and he just couldn't be bothered?'
'This performance literally could have been an email!' laughed a third, with another adding: 'I wasn't even there and I want a refund!'
It comes after Timberlake sparked backlash earlier this year when he cancelled the final show of the US leg of his tour with just 12 minutes until showtime.
'You guys. I'm heartbroken. I have to cancel the show tonight,' Justin revealed on Instagram. 'I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team who have worked so hard to make this show happen. I want to reassure you, you'll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all.'
Fans rushed to lash out at the star for giving barely any notice, with one commenting: 'Cancelling because of being sick is 100% understandable. Cancelling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable.'
'Bought almost 40 bucks in drinks tonight, was sitting in our seats, we thought the announcement was a joke. Paid 20 dollars in parking and now 2 vacation days wasted on this MF,' remarked another angry fan at the time.

Destiny's Child reunites for Beyoncé's final Cowboy Carter show
Destiny's Child has reunited for the first time in seven years during the final show of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour. Queen B welcomed her former band mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams on stage in Las Vegas to perform a medley of the group's biggest hits, including 2001 hit Bootylicious and 2004 anthem Hold My Breath. The two special guests — dripping in gold and introduced by Beyoncé as"Destiny's Child's, b---!" — also helped to sing the hit Energy from the artist's seventh studio album Renaissance (also referred to as Act II: Renaissance). The performance marked the first time in seven years the chart-topping group has shared the stage together. The last time they reunited was in 2018 during "Beychella", when Beyoncé' made history as the first black woman to headline Coachella. Fans were quick to flock to social media, dubbing the trio "the most legendary girl group of all time" and their performance "the perfect ending" to the tour. The Texas Hold 'Em singer kicked off her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour in late April, taking her Grammy-winning album across stadiums in Europe and the US before closing out the historic tour in Las Vegas after 32 shows. She also welcomed her famous husband Jay-Z on stage to perform their 2003 song Crazy In Love and Shaboozey to perform their hit Sweet Honey Buckin. Beyoncé's finale would not be been complete without a special mention to her 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, who danced alongside her mother for nearly every song across the tour — winning over fans along the way. Renaissance was Act I. Cowboy Carter was Act II. "What if Act 3 features EVERYONE she did music with?" one user wrote on Instagram, referring to the three-part musical project by Beyonce, dubbed the "Renaissance trilogy". It could happen. Beyoncé's last two albums, the house-inspired Renaissance and country-Americana Cowboy Carter, were the first and second in a planned trilogy of albums the artist made famous for challenging genre conventions. "The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me," she wrote upon the release of Cowboy Carter. "Act II is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work." Fans are convinced the third instalment will follow the same pattern in reclaiming a new genre — but are yet to know what that genre could be.

Jennifer Lopez suffers embarrassing mid-performance wardrobe malfunction: ‘Glad I had underwear on'
Jennifer Lopez laughed off a cheeky wardrobe malfunction while performing in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday. The On the Floor singer was left standing in a pair of green high-waisted underwear and sheer tights after a silver fringe skirt slipped off her hips, per a video shared via YouTube. Lopez, 56, initially gasped while attempting to grab the skirt before it hit the floor. She quickly changed her demeanour and flaunted her figure around the stage, wearing only the briefs, a green bedazzled bra, long green gloves and tights. 'I'm here in my underwear,' the pop star told the crowd. One of Lopez's background dancers attempted to help her put the skirt back on while the band sang 'Happy Birthday' to the hit maker, whose 56th year around the sun was on Thursday. However, after the skirt didn't latch, Lopez took it off and threw it into the audience. Joking about the incident, she told the crowd, 'I'm glad that they reinforced that costume. And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear.' Several fans praised the actress' graceful reaction, with one commenting on Instagram, 'She is everything that is right in this world.' 'Life is too short love how she and her staffs [sic] handle it,' another gushed. 'She's so cute, then she threw it out into the crowd. Legend!' a third added. Lopez has been on the road for her Up  All Night: Live in 2025 tour in Europe and she celebrated her birthday at her tour stop in Turkey last week. Videos posted to her Instagram Story showed her wearing a silver gown while standing in front of a massive cake. Lopez, meanwhile, is no stranger to wardrobe malfunctions. The Selena star suffered from a nip-slip when she stepped out in a plunging beach gown in New York City. At the time, she was attending a Ring Them Bells benefit concert in honour of John Kander's 98th birthday
