Harry Jowsey Showcases His Inner Justin Timberlake in ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Music Video Night

Harry Jowsey paid tribute to Justin Timberlake, complete with frosted tips, during Music Video Night on Dancing With the Stars.

The 26-year-old Jowsey and his partner, Rylee Arnold, showcased a jazz routine set to ’NSync’s popular 2000 track, "It’s Gonna Be Me," on the episode airing on Tuesday, November 7.

Jowsey had a blast recreating Timberlake’s doll-like appearance from the music video. In the video, the members of the boy band acted as action figures of themselves. Jowsey donned a curly blonde wig, an acid-wash denim jacket with matching jeans, and airbrushed makeup that gave him a doll-like appearance. Jowsey expressed his enjoyment of the routine through Instagram photos shared via the official account of Dancing With the Stars.

Jowsey, who resembled Timberlake at the age of 42, received a pep talk from 'NSync member Lance Bass before the show. During rehearsal, Bass, aged 44, advised Jowsey to let go of his self-doubt and simply focus on delivering an outstanding performance. This visit greatly boosted Jowsey's confidence, leading him to confidently proclaim to the cameras that if he followed Lance's advice, he would undoubtedly deliver the best dance of the night.

Despite a personal visit from Bass himself, Jowsey failed to impress the judges and received the lowest score of the evening: a 24. The crowd expressed their disapproval toward Carrie Ann Inaba as she criticized Jowsey for being overshadowed by his backup dancers. Inaba, aged 55, stated that the performance was not as impressive once the boys were no longer in front of him.

However, Jowsey managed to redeem himself during the group dance-off later that night. He maintained his blonde wig while energetically performing "Gangnam Style" by PSY alongside Arnold (18), Lele Pons, Brandon Armstrong, Xochitl Gomez, Val Chmerkovskiy, Charity Lawson, and Artem Chigvintsev.

Judge Derek Hough was impressed by Jowsey's strong stage presence and even hugged him. Recognizing Jowsey's talent, Derek commented, "You excel as a team player, not just a soloist." The judges awarded Jowsey's team a perfect score of 40, while the opposing team received a 37.

Despite their low position on the leaderboard, Jowsey and Arnold were saved by the viewers' votes, while Pons, 27, and Armstrong, 29, were eliminated.

Arnold acknowledges Timberlake's reference to the "SexyBack" singer, amidst other recent revelations from Timberlake's past. Britney Spears' newly released memoir, The Woman in Me, which became available last month, contains startling disclosures about her relationship with Timberlake, with whom she was in a romantic relationship from 1999 to 2002.

In her candid account, Spears, aged 41, accuses Timberlake of infidelity on multiple occasions, asserts that he ended their three-year relationship through a text message, and alleges that Timberlake tried to console her after her abortion by playing the guitar for her.

Timberlake, who has remained silent about his ex's memoir, disabled comments on his Instagram last month. Shortly after, he was spotted on a family vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, accompanied by his wife Jessica Biel. According to an exclusive source, the trip had already been planned months in advance and was unrelated to Britney's memoir. The insider also mentioned that Justin supports Britney's choice to share her truth.

Bass has been supportive of his bandmate throughout the controversy, expressing his belief that in the current world filled with hatred, forgiveness is crucial. In an interview with TMZ in October, he stated, "Britney did forgive, so let's learn from her."

Although Spears openly discussed her relationship with Timberlake in her memoir, The Woman in Me, she reassured her fans via Instagram last month that her intention was not to offend anyone. She emphasized that the events detailed in the book are in the past and that writing it has offered her closure, paving the way for a brighter future.

Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays on ABC and Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET.
