Justin Timberlake: Ridicules John Mayer
It's the fued between Grammy-winning singers.
Singer Justin Timberlake says singer John Mayer is the love child of Macy Gray and a bear.
Timberlake was about to launch into an impression of the ‘Gravity‘ singer when he likened John’s vocal talents to a cross between Macy and a growling bear.
Justin Timberlake, appearing on the premiere of US talk show ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon‘, - who is good friends with John - said: “I imitate stars because I love them. How would I describe John Mayer? He sounds like if Macy Gray and Smokey Robinson, or actually, Smokey the Bear had a love child.”
After this, he then launched into a rendition of John’s hit ‘Daughter‘ with a live band, while the audience whooped and cheered.
Timberlake went on to joke about John’s singing style, claiming the key to doing a good impression of Mayer was practicing your “solo face”.
Timberlake explained: “He has the most amazing solo face. He contorts his face, it’s like literally his tongue takes over.”
The ‘Sexy Back’ singer’s impression of John left fellow guest Robert De Niro in hysterics.
