JT's VMA performance and new single
September 30th 2006 12:01
He brought the sexy back, now it’s time for Justin Timberlake to show us some love.
At the MTV Video Music Awards, Justin performed a medley of his newest single, My Love, and the smash hit: Sexyback.
I actually want to post up the music video for ‘My Love’ though I can’t find it anywhere. Anyway here’s the performance from the VMA’s.
Before I get into the new single, what about Justin’s new moves? He was always a good dancer, but his popping seems sharper than ever before.
As for ‘My Love’, it is definitely better than the single that preceded it.
‘Sexyback’ has two sides to it as far as my musical sensibilities are concerned. The singing is awful and the lyrics are straight out of a gangsta rap song written by Fabio, but I still can’t get over that killer beat.
Timbaland has done it again. As he did with Furtado’s ‘Promiscuous’, he turned a distasteful song into a monster hit.
This time around, Timbaland waives his wand and casts a spell over a song that is already magical. ‘My Love’ is a song with sweet, poetic lyrics. It might play on the cliché theme of love, but it does so artistically.
You can’t fault JT on his falsetto or his sense of rhythm when melodically rapping. Unlike ‘Sexyback’, you can hear the effort put into the writing of ‘My Love’.
Combined with another hypnotic Timbaland beat, the second single far surpasses the first.
Take care and peace out…

As for JT, well, he is what I like to call a CP, 'commercial performer'. He is talented, more than most CP, but he caters to the one thing that will sell his records for him and thats sex. It's a little sad that CPs don't stop and think about the long haul. I don't want to see him do a rendition of 'SexyBack' when he is 40. In fact, I doubt I will want to see him pop it, either, no matter how sharp it is.
Love your blog...great job.
