The Justin Timberlake Thread

The video projection of Prince on the massive sheet was classy, but it unfortunately drew attention to how much more dynamic and charismatic Prince was in comparison to JT.

 

It’s telling he only did one cut off the new album.

 

I like JT, and he’s clearly very, very talented in many ways, but that was frenetic in a bad way. And he looked a hot mess.

I thought it was an average performance at best. Yes, he gave it his best -- high energy and he really tried.

 

But he was almost a back-up singer to his own songs for at least the first half of the performance! He kept doing background vocals lmao. 

 

The sound was horrible, especially in the beginning.

 

The Prince moment, like said above, invited unflattering comparisons.

 

Didn't he rip off Janet's clothes during the "I'm gonna have you naked by the end of this song" line? And he stopped here RIGHT before that and yelled stop. More shade.

 

And that outfit he wore? Oh, geez. The best thing was the jacket and he got rid of it early on LOL

 

At least he covered his big hits/favorites. The best part was definitely the selfie kid.

 

Everything else was just going through the motions and I didn't feel the crowd was all that interested....

Yeah, I agree with all of the above, @YRBB. I feel like it’s fashionable for the media to slag JT off these days, maybe as a corrective for how they aided and abetted his cowardice and deflection post-Nipplegate. But his star had been falling musically for a while, and I can’t help but agree that his performance last night was uninspired.

 

He danced well, though. Have to give him that.

See you all are giving him too much credit.

 

I agree with @YRBB. He was just going through the motions. Even his dancing was that way. The only time I saw fire from him and him being in synced (pun unintended) with the dancers was during CRY ME A RIVER and the Prince moment. Okay, and selfie kid. And energy was medium during CAN'T STOP THE FEELING. Otherwise...meh. Not what I'm used to from JT at all. So disappointed.

I've loved JT ever since he went solo, and Justified and FutureSex/LoveSounds are two of the definitive albums of 2000-2009. I still get all tingly inside when I hear "My Love."

I still don't know what to make of this one, yet. I feel like it's his Lemonade - less about making a hit album that pleases everyone and more about making something personal. It's hard to have a real opinion on things like that.

According to Sheila E, it was NOT Justin's idea to do the hologram, and he wasn't crazy about it when it was suggested.

The album grew on me A LOT after the first time I listened to it. I like all of the singles a lot more than I did initially and, some of the songs, like Sauce and especially Higher Higher I think are fantastic.

 

Towards the end things get really boring and repetitive, at least lyrics wise -- did he really need 4 songs in a row about raising chickens in a farm? Or a whole song about his baby boy?

    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...   
    • oooh....the '76 plot thickens... thanks @Paul Raven

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride. 
    • Damn I was hoping Lesley would be at Monica's memorial  Hoping GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial
