@bffet62 No way man, JT kills this song, i mean Mavin was a legend and can never be touched, but Timberlake is definitely talented enough for this cover and he nailed it, he has serious talent, unlike alot of these artists these days (keisha, soulja boy etc)
To be fair, I gave Justin the benefit of the doubt. As a white performer, he is talented. Though I understand he is paying homage to Marvin by singing his song, but, I think he needs to concentrate on his generational-type music. Leave the great songs to the artist's that can best deliver and impose the mood and emotions to the listener.
BTW- A message to all my black brothers and sisters: I got no problems with how freely some of us are throwing around the term "white boy" so long as you don't trip one day when somebody posts on an Usher or Chris Brown vid: "black boy can dance!" ... I'm just sayin'
Glad to see most people are being fair here for a change. Don't waste all our time to say he didn't do it as good as Marvin- nobody could, but JT did represent. He's not your typical boy-band singer. He actually has true talent.
He really nailed it! I agree. This is the best rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up" song that I have ever heard. Dance moves and all...right on the mark.

Oh no, sorry, he butchered this song. The only other person that can even come close to complimenting this song is Aaliyah, she did a great rendition of Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up. Still, no one can compare to his smooth tone, vibrant vocals, and overall melodic charisma, the man truly was one of a kind from a time when music was about the song, not the pomp.
to do a song by someone else you have to appreciate the musical talent that did it before you...in other words, you have to appreciate music to sing it well. Justin Timberlake is a very talented young man, and he appreciates other talents.

He moves so awkwardly. I could have danced smoother to this and I am a straight female. Usher would have done this song much more justice vocally and visibly. Robin Thicke would have done better vocally, too.

im a fan of justin's work..but he should of stayed away from this song. didnt sound good at all. the only person i have heard cover this and get it down was Aaliyah.
i would love to have an autographed black and white of him in my "music" room.. i am not trying to date him...he just has the unique quality like "E", white boy with a bunch of soul. cool.
my 80 yr old Mom informed me how talented he was. i loved him from SNL, but i had no clue he was this bad. Great Marvin!! he will have his own variety show or comedy show if he wants it. but the best things about him is he has no pretense. just a very down to earth dude. how can you not like him!
i love this kid! i had no idea he was this good. i love him as a comedic player on SNL. if you close your eyes, he sounds like a Motown brother. he could have sat in with J-5, Tempts., Commodores, Al Green...he is unbelievable.
anybody hating is a fuckin fool!! this is great.. he sounds fantastic he looks fantastic smooth and cool, calm and collected. Remains perfect vocals the whole time.

I can't stand this...what in injustice to marvin...but alas its a sign o' the times of where the music industry is today....Timberlake tryin to move like Stevie Wonder while singin Marvin Gaye
Are guys kidding me this guy does this song justice I have never heard a good cover of this song until I heard his only better version is Marvins itself
@jjacks87 Agreed, he has the high enough voice to nake it work, and he does it good enough for a cover, not all of Marvin's versions of this song were THAT good either.. :)
@jjacks87 I don't think it's better than his version, but I agree that they shouldn't just judge him like "HES WHITE, GO SING JUSTIN BIEBER FAGGOT" lmao
