A background vocalist is claiming credit for singing a heavily praised portion of Justin Timberlake<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Grammy winning song \u201cCry Me a River.\u201d <\/p>\n Released in 2002, the song helped transform Justin<\/strong> from a member of *NSYNC<\/strong><\/a> to a certified solo star.

She explained: \u201cApparently, according to Twitter, that was, \u2018Oh, did you hear that falsetto? He can absolutely come to the barbecue.\u2019 But years later, they will find out that that part was actually me,\u201d Marsha<\/strong> said. \u201cAnd this is not to shade the rest of the song. Justin Timberlake<\/strong> can\u2026 He\u2019s from Memphis. He can still come.\u201d<\/p>\n She recalled people on Twitter freaking out to realize that \u201cshe did the barbecue part.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cIt was barbecue sauce that I brought,\u201d she added, after singing another part of the song during the interview.<\/p>\n Marsha<\/strong> noted that she \u201cdid not have a physical Grammy\u201d herself, saying, \u201cI kind of want one.\u201d <\/p>\n Back in 2014, Marsha<\/strong> also spoke about recording the song with Timbaland<\/strong><\/a> during an interview with the Los Angeles Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI went into the booth, matched my vocal with Justin<\/strong>\u2019s and did it a couple of times to get the feel, which is why barely anyone knows I\u2019m on the song because we sound the same. I sang that \u2018You don\u2019t have to say, what you did\u2019 [line], did the outro. I was playing when I did it and Timbaland <\/strong>kept it. I knew it was a great song in the studio. I didn\u2019t know it would be that song.\u201d<\/p>\n If you forgot, \u201cCry Me a River\u201d sparked some controversy<\/a> last year after Justin<\/strong> performed it during a show.
