  • Justin KILLED THIS!!! Marvin Gaye would be proud! That Boy can sing.... Dam and he looks hella good!

  • No one can beat Marvin

  • stoppit justin... just stop!

  • MG would approve

  • this Wigger sounds terrible.

    

  • He's singing this WAY too high.

  • @JACKOSTiNKERBELL he's nothing but a Wigger.

  • to the racist comments on this post.....WOW!!!!!...are you REALLY still on that page?? Good music is good music....no matter who sings it...2012 and you are still calling folks JUNGLE BUNNIES??? That is hilarious.....and it shows your age young brother...Its ok to come into the 20th century....Peace and blessing to you

  • @delight1968 Its the 21st century...lol.

  • @delight1968 ok then jig a boo music if that works 4 u.

  • i dig some of JT's work but don't listen to Marvins version (the original) and then listen to this. I feel you might be less impressed with this pitch perfect but soul-lessly phrased version. Sorry to all you die hard JT fans, but Marv got that HEAVY black soul, PROPER. And his falsetto kills JT's. My two cents.

  • @dragondix so true, he doesn't even look like marvin is trying that's just how smooth his voice is, whereas JT is. But this version is alright.

  • wow hahahahahah who are the fucking idiots who are saying jt is trying to be like robin thicke??? justin has been out way before robin thicke and a way better artist in all ways than him.....you people must be soo fucking dumb :s iv actually just laughed my head off at the dude who gave put that comment

  • Real good!

  • God you people are dumb...Justin Timberlake isn't saying he's better you idiots...he's just paying homage to one of the greatest aritsts that ever lived..if you asked him if he thought he was better than Marvin Gaye he performs this better than Marvin he would say no..so shut the hell up.

  • Nice try, kid...

  • @gianca60 I don't see anything wrong with it O.o n i <3 Marvin Gaye

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not a JT fan but he Nailed this. Marvin would have approved. He Done it

  • @yukseleyy he's a fraud. he's a white boy without soul. the whole "black thing" is an act so stupid jungle bunnies will buy his shit music. he's never dated a coon, all his friends are white. I'm sure they laugh about all the jungle bunnies buying his music

  • @whatigot2say This is nonsense you just made up. You couldn't be more wrong with your last statement. Most of Justin's acquaintances are Black.

  • @JACKOSTiNKERBELL those are the acquaintances hes needs to give him the black vibe so the jig a boo's will think he's 4 real. he's NEVER dated a black girl, never will & yet they scream 4 him @ his concerts & buy his records, bet him & his white friends laugh all the way to the bank.

  • @whatigot2say His manager Johnny Wright is black among others. The higher ups make far more money than Timberlake, so he's not the one laughing all the way to the bank. As for dating a black girl, to our knowledge, why does that even matter? He's never dated an Asian girl either and he has Asian fans too.

  • @JACKOSTiNKERBELL of course his manager is black because that's who buys his records, blacks for the most part. His street nigger persona is all a ploy to get coons to buy his music, he's trash. he dosen't pretend to be asian he pretends to be black, he's a fake wanna be Wigger.

  • @whatigot2say He's had the same manager since NSYNC. The majority of NSYNC fans were not black.

  • @whatigot2say hey shit head shut the fuck up

  • @kissmyass5104 mind ur business coon.

  • No Way, No Way, Justin is working too hard. The wrong White Boy is singing Marvin Gaye's song it should have been Robin Thick. Robin could do Marvin justice.

  • By the way I just showed my mother this video and saw Marvin Gaye perform in his prime 5 times.....she laughed at this video and the idiot who posted the comment about Justin having a great falsetto.....LOL

  • In 1950’s blacks invented R&B ……in 2050 White People: Justin Timberlake invented R&B…..LOL …..I never heard one black man claim to invent the telephone…..LOL ....By the way User and Beyonce are not real R&B….they are pop! Jill Scott and Maxwell is real R&B something you 20 year old white kids have never heard of ......(ahhh..... waits for the angry white JT fans to respond....LOL)

  • In the late 1800’s blacks invented Jazz ……In 1940’s White People: Benny Goodman is the king of swing and he invented jazz…..In 1945-55 Blacks invented Rock n Roll ……..in 1960 White People: Elvis invented Rock n Roll…. In 1970’s blacks invented Hip Hop…… In 2025 White People: Eminem invented Hip Hop……

  • Comment removed

  • ...JT can sing….but seriously ....and don’t give me the lecture about he is introducing a good song to a new generation.....since when do white artist cover black artist and they get the credit ......at times JT come across as the white boy..."trying to so call act black"......I’m sick of all these damn pop stars …black and white….hell Usher can suck it too......

  • ......Listen to classic urban radio no Justin....but you do hear Robin Thicke and Tina Marie.....the whites we choose not the ones shoved down our throats by record executives.....LOL If you look at the Marvin Gaye clip JT is trying to act like Marvin Gaye and Robin Thicke…LOL....

  • Everyone saying..... "Justin has the best male falsetto" ......must be white and never heard Marvin Gaye, Sam Cook, Maxwell or Eddie Kendrick’s.......LOL Wow white people you guys invented the telephone.....can we just have soul music damn....do you guys have to own every dam thing! White people dominate country and rock music but black people don't give a shit......

  • os brancos americanos so querem ser os negros kkk

  • greaat

  • Justin was nervous I'm sure and and the utmost respect for this song. More than we can say for Elvis who did the exact samesame thing shamelessly and didnt give a f*** who he offended. JT Much props to you!!! Marvin is grinning and happy!!!!

  • Great Job. I think Marvin would have been proud.

  • it's kinda derpy and awesome at the same time :P

  • I fucking love you justin

  • good music got no color.. this is awesome.. :D

  • Hah

  • love this!!! almost as good as the aaliyah version

  • This Shit Is Sooooo Funky Go White Boy Go !!!!!!!

  • He did good but only Marvin could hit them high notes.

  • did it good

  • It would be blasphemy if he didn't have the voice for this song, but he did a good job! How is it a bad thing for a popular artist to do a good cover of a great song? It's practically the exact same original arrangement note-for-note. I'm glad he's introducing it to audiences who might have never heard it before. It took me a while to accept Justin, but I gotta say, he's way better than the average pop star and he does have a great voice. And Steve Jordan on drums, hell yes sir!

  • @mythillogic He is better than the average pop star but people are funny about folks covering the beatles, elvis and classic motown......LOL! Young folks today are so dumb and uneducated about real music....my thing is be yourself .....at times Justin comes across as the white boy trying to "act so called black!

  • UUUUUUUGH NO! those girls in the pit dont even know whats up!

    Blashphemy having this guy singing this song.

  • Steve Jordan keepin that pocket on them drums!!!

  • wuhuuuuu!!!! Superb!!! :)

  • I love him. I didn't pay attn to NSYNC b/c I thought they were 'teen music'. He went solo and found some soul. He's a sexy dancer, singer, man~ Excellent cover of Marvin's song.

  • @churchtroll Found some soul.....LOL

  • @churchtroll He went solo and "found some soul"? LOL. I didn't know you could just 'find some soul'. More like he found The Neptunes. How folks can still be so gullible is sad but humorous at the same time.

  • well im blk and i think he ripped the house and the hell out that song dont hate on the white boy bcause he can sing if it was a blk boy nothing would b said

  • Wow!!!! <3<3<3

  • my boy JT ripped this classic! I'm proud! <3

  • @ladygoat77 he sounded like shit.

  • Not hating but he kinda ruined the song. I don't care who he is. Once Marvin Gaye or Michael Jackson do a song leave it alone.

  • @3030jayday im pretty sure youve sung that song before, right? everyone has the right to sing the songs they love, not because they're trying to one-up someone, but because they love them. JT has an amazing voice too, man. just enjoy the talent, Marvin Gaye would enjoy watching him cover his song, why can't you?

  • @MrCharlestonbattery Well to be fair. He's not the best singer around. He can hit the notes but theres something about his pitch that just sounds aweful. And he didn't even try to make it his own. Aaliyah sang the crap out that song. But little JT just can't pull off any originality of his own. Trys to be like Mike here he's tryin to be like Marvin. He just doesnt have any real talent to call his own. Anybody can mimic someone & that's all he does.

  • @3030jayday good ego speech. he sang the shit out of that song, soul, class, rhythm, you name it, and who are you to question his talent? are you a singer? are you famous in the hole world? are you a person who teaches to sing? have you at least finished some kind of musical school? do you play and sing and dance great at the same time? do you play the piano, a guitar and some other shit? and for the future, when you make a statement like that, please argument it, not some empty words.

  • OMG he did pretty good i love his voice!

  • god this is lame compared to MG. sounds too forced

  • nobody can funk like marvin himself!

  • The white boy has got soulllllllllll

  • 6010rod that would make you the racist

  • SMEXY!

  • Justin could do anything he wants, he's Justin Timberlake and he's fucking talented!

  • That's the coolest lil white boy i seen in a long time ... ;-)

  • I really don't get why people make comments like "Marvin was better". Of course he was, but that's not the point here. JT is covering a MG song because MG is the legend. Enjoy the cover and consider it a tribute that JT does to MG.

  • he screwed this up

  • Talent is talent. And that, this young man is. =)

  • the man can sing stop talkin bullsh*t....

  • nope

    

  • justin has the best male falsetto (and head notes) in my opinion

  • Justin, you did that!!!!!!

    What Black person is mad about that? Hello????

  • boo marvin gaye is way better

  • @xxMikeTheAlienwarexx duuuuh JT still did well

  • i love justin

    

  • wow good job justin 

  • Good attempt, JT, but nobody can do Marvin Gaye but Marvin himself.

  • true ill feel fukn stupid playing this song if it was really justing

  • he did good,but I still prefer Marvin Gaye.....

  • Yup, I wouldn't have said it in 2008, but this is funky shit. My ears are having a problem listening to someone without an autotune. I guess back in 08 there were still performers who could sing.

  • this is actually pretty dope

  • Pretty good cover, i think. :)

  • oh my god i just love this man, what a great job he did!

  • JT my man. Groovin doin Marvin PROUD big boy.

  • I dont like Justin Timberlake but credit when its due ....good cover

  • @foxgirl100 yeah people are just ignorant, like if you dont anything good to say, dont say anything at all.. you dont have to watch the video

  • surprised me

  • man or machine ?

  • He did great, I love it. Very talented

  • Justin?!?! damn it, dont ruin my shit!

  • This is wicked what an amazing cover. Heard it on Paul, love Marvin Gaye and Justin!

  • This is a really good cover. All the naysayers are just haters.

  • this was my ant lar's song right here. she'd have her budweiser and winston cigarette. Talkin bout, come on baby. Get down wit ant lar. anyway, ol boy did a good job on this.

  • dis is sum straight up bump and grind music

  • black or white,...music don't give a damn,,...talent is talent,....JT is talented,....sick cover!!!

  • im a JT hater but this song was covered just right

  • think will i am prolly done better

  • Dont think Marvin would frown on the tribute....

  • Timberlake killed this song.. Not in a good way. If you agree, thumbs up!

  • Many props to JT for a an homage to a classic. RIP Marvin Gaye

  • Wow Justin honestly made me run back to grab the original! Justin killed this song! What an amazing, amazing performance!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If he was black no one would be talking shit!!!!!!........now whos the racist?????

  • @6010rod ***correction*** if he wasn't a tool, no one would be talking shit

  • @6010rod

    ppl dont talk shit on him bc hes white, its bc of the NSYNC days.

  • @6010rod im not sure if i like it, but i dont hate it that much, its just that jt's voice bugs me a little, its still a little too white just an imitation of soul, and please don't get me wrong its not because he's white, its probably just his boyband background. robin thicke should've covered this, i think he's the best soul falsetto white guy, seriously his voice is misleading. its not all about race dude.

  • @dodolipret I agree white people don't get it..... Robin Thicke is on classic urban radio....it is the true test not a pop machine behind him....we choose RT not the media....LOL! Although nobody can touch Marvin's falsetto! The real white soul singers are on classic urban radio ....not folks that 20 year old white kids like....I'm sick of big record companies.

  • JUSTIN KILLED IT .

  • Sounds perfect to me

  • dayumm...I already had respect for Justin's Musical talent but this just took it up another level. He's not Marvin but this is still very respectable.

  • awful

    

  • KILLED IT I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

  • UR A HATER!!!

  • omg, I got sick watching this. Couldn't make it past the first 5 seconds. Why did he do this? What a fucking loser!

  • He is awful. Don't every try to imitate a legend?

  • STOP HATIN!!!!!!!!

  • @ARDELLA14 Oh please! Go away

  • He did great! NOT a Justin fan at all....but he rocked this one out for Marvin!

  • who care if he's whit this boy rocked it haaaard this my song....

  • He nailed that vibe! Much respect, best track.

  • oh, WOW!!! amazing job one of my favorite artists songs!!! loved it!!

  • Wonderful!!!he is so cute...very good

  • I don't like Justin Timberlake at all, But I gotta give props...he killed that one.............and it hurts to admit it.

  • first time seeing this....justin ripped that shit....GREAT JOB! R.I.P. MARVIN GAYE!

  • justin kills this shit, nobody else could do it except him. rip marvin

  • Now even though I prefer the original, I love that someone did such a fantastic cover. Some artists tend to go all out and embellish. But Justin kept it simple, and tasteful. It was a great performance.

  • I am not too sure that there is another artist other then JT that would have done as good a job as he did. Great cover!!

  • He's amazing,isin't he?

  • so perfect!

  • @symone09 Almost all it needs is MORE COWBELL !

  • Beautiful tribute to one of Motown's most beloved singers! Way to go, Justin!

  • well Marvin Gaye is dead,as we all know, and I think JT did an honorable tribute in the form of this cover. Very tasteful performance without over embellishment.

  • Shit, marvin is better.

  • I AM IN LOVE WITH JT!!! He is hot, hes got swagger, he can dance, he can sing, he is funny as HELL, he doesnt take himself too seriously, LOVE HIM!!!

  • excellent Justinnnnn

  • Best cover ever!!!...i just wish I could download it

  • i fucking love you justin. that boy so smooooooooth!

  • AMAZING......anyone who doesn't think he is talented is just jealous!! There is a reason he is so successful, he is good! If you still think he only did the Mickey Mouse club, really? I don't understand people that love tearing others apart but that is the kind of world we live in now, sad!

  • He needs to wear his mouse ears. He sings okay, but god he can't dance. pathetic.

  • @JamesVM58 just watch him do his song my love live

  • This is a tribute to motown. Do a "cover" is fine, but to say mousesketerr isn't trying to imitate Marvin is ignorant. You don't honestly believe mousesketeer could come up with tune and rythm like this on his own do you? Why people find this mousesketeer so great is beyond remarkable.

  • Marvin gotta be rolling over in his grave. A mousesketeer trying to pull this off is pathetic. What an insult.

  • ça lui va tellement bien!

  • still dont know why this no tallent slug is famous. like johnny pop says "sings like an amputee, cant carry a tune."

  • He trying too hard to sound like a pubescent boy..

    Terrible Marvin Gaye rendition

  • MARVIN GAYE WAS HIS DADDY

  • ... sorry Justin, you sound like Marvins daughter doin a cover. Bringing Sexy back, right... LMAO. I mean the back up singers sound more macho than Justin...

  • Great version by Justin - I love the rocked up version of 'Too Hot To Give It Up' - Marvin Gaye and rock band UFO

  • So sexy!

  • not better than the original... but definitely gotta give props to Timberlake... he didn't fuck it up.. it's a nice tribute

  • This can NEVER be better than the original. Sorry. But no.

  • BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

  • I think JT might just be a better dancer though :P

  • not bad, but no one can do it like marvin

  • I think I just became JT's fan :-)

  • pure fuckin swagger!!!!

  • JT is the fuckin man

  • I'm not really a J.T fan but he did a great job on this cover

  • Good cover and he's not trying to sound like Marvin..just doing his song..

  • I love Marvin and i like Justin. This was a great performance

  • good performance, but he sound more like prince than marvin.

  • Justin is smexy <3

  • not gay badass

  • oh justin comeback to us... music is shit without you!

  • wish i could sing like that :D

  • great song interesting seeing justin sing this classic.

  • Justin, esto es ser un hombre en toooooooda la extension de la palabra.

  • wuooooooo, con lentes obscuros, traje, bien peinado y ademas baila que mas podemos pedir? Guaperrimo Justin I love you

  • ITS JUST NOT THE SAME AS MARVINS....BTW THE BASS IS PUMPING

  • ITS JUST NOT THE SAME....

  • He didn't do a bad job BUT.. nobody can sing like Marvin.
