JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is going back to his Tennessee roots.

He told USA Today: "I've had a good share of the spotlight. I don't feel I need too much of it right now. I want to write country music because I grew up in Tennessee...."

The popular singer says he wants to concentrate on song writing. He wants to express himself through different types of music.

If BON JOVI can do it, why not TIMBERLAKE?
