Justin Timberlake: Follow My Lead ft. Esmée Denters (Audio)

Justin Timberlake is not a rapper. But apparently he thinks he is, because on his new single, "Follow My Lead," he plays the MC to his protégé Esmee Denters' vocals. Timberlake harmonizes a bit on the choruses, but for the most part he's only on this for a verse at the beginning and the end of the song. Denters' vocals aren't enough to sell the track—she sounds like she should be on a High School Musical soundtrack.

The track was recorded at a concert benefitting Shriners Hospitals for Children, and all proceeds from the track will be donated to the organization.
