Britney Spears’ Idol Ex Told He "Looks Like Justin Timberlake"

American Idol Top 24 contestant Robbie Carrico just can’t shake the Britney Spears connection.

Not only did the 26-year-old Melbourne, Florida, native date Spears when she was 17, but on last night’s Idol, he was told he looked like her ex, Justin Timberlake!

After he belted out the Three Dog Night tune “One,” Ryan Seacrest remarked, “He’s dressed like a rocker, but kind of looks like Justin Timberlake!”

Carrico may have a way’s to go before hitting it big.

Simon Cowell told Carrico: “I’m not quite sure yet whether you’re very comfortable in this rock thing or whether you’re a pop singer.”
