Whatevs / Moving Pictures / Music Spurgeon’s General Warning: Timberlake!
Posted by Ashley Spurgeon on Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 10:48 AM
And Justin Timberlake. Tennessee’s favorite son. A fully formed Athena burst forth from the head of boy-band Zeus. He’s back, in Pog form. What are your favorite Justin moments? I have so many (five):
“Rock Your Body”
Without question, “Rock Your Body” is one of the Top Five best R&B-influenced dance-pop songs of 2000-2010. I had to get real descriptive with the definition, because this soon turned into an exercise of how I could also include "Since U Been Gone" in that Top Five until I realized that song is rock pop and therefore on a totally different list altogether.
“Summer Love”
One of the Timbaland-iest songs of all time, “Summer Love” is definitely the best song about summer love by someone entirely too old to seek out a LFO-style summer romance.
Boy-Band Past (“Tearin’ Up My Heart”)
I love it when things sound of their time. The Jackson 5 are not New Kids on the Block are not N*Sync are not One Direction. Listening to this is an instant late-'90s flashback, I can almost smell the Cool Water. To every thing there is a season, that's from the Bible, and I'm pretty sure it was about boy bands.
Justin and Britney’s Matching Denim Outfits
This is what happens when young people are not told “no.” Bad Idea Jeans for the entire body, these pre-Etsy monstrosities of devotion coupled with white-trash panache will never be forgotten by me, or by Google Images. We all know the deal with poor Britney: She’s legitimately mentally ill, for one, and is pretty open about her bad taste. But Timberlake, for all his present-day slickness (“Suit & Tie,” eh?) was at one point just a weird teen making questionable sartorial decisions, just like you!
Saturday Night Live
Ha ha. The best part is the steps on how to do it.
