Overview

• During his headlining set at Electric Castle in Transylvania on July 20, Timberlake sang only the opening lines of “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” before turning the mic to a rain-soaked crowd.
• A fan-recorded TikTok clip of the moment has surpassed 1.5 million views and drawn widespread criticism of Timberlake’s limited live vocals.
• Viewers compared the scene to karaoke, with comments noting that ticket-paying fans ended up providing the bulk of the performance.
• Similar complaints have surfaced from other European tour stops, including Estonia and Lollapalooza Paris, as fan expectations continue to rise.
• Timberlake’s representatives have remained silent and audiences are watching his remaining European dates for any change in his onstage approach.
