Following recent reports that JT is set to release a country album (see our article on it here) it seems that he is continuing his music diversification, as he is set to perform at this year’s Eurovision competition!

The Memphis born singer is set to debut his new single ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ when he performs it at Eurovision 2016 this Saturday.

The song was released a few short days ago on May 6th, listen to it below:

Whilst Eurovision may not be as famous in the United States as it is in England and the rest of Europe; you cannot deny that it is a huge stage to debut a live performance of a song; with last years competition having almost 200 million viewers across the world. This figure is set to increase, especially with the strange inclusion of Australia in the competition.

One of the lead producers of Eurovision had this to say on the prospect of Justin Timberlake performing:

“This is a fantastic opportunity, we are very happy and excited that Justin Timberlake will perform his new song together with his band in our show. It makes it extra special that the Swedish songwriters Max Martin and Shellback have co-written and co-produced the song together with Justin Timberlake.”

The UK will of course be hoping for a successful Eurovision after numerous consecutive poor performances. This year’s UK representative will be Joe & Jake with ‘You’re Not Alone’.
