Justin Timberlake Might Be Doing The Super Bowl Next Year
He's bringing 'SexyBack' - and who else? Janet? Jay-Z?
It's that time of year again: WHO IS PLAYING THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW?
While it feels like Lady Gaga jumped from a stadium roof and spider crawled mid-air to perform 'Poker Face' just yesterday, the Super Bowl is just four months away and the one and only Justin Timberlake is rumoured to be performing.
US Weekly report that the pop superstar is currently 'finalising' a deal that'll see him take the world-famous stage for the third time (!), this time as the main headline act.
'Cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you something, an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare
'Cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
Ooh I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the past
I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history, oh
Tomorrow's a mystery, ooh
I can see you looking back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yeah
The 'Mirrors' singer co-headlined the 2001 show with his band *NSYNC, Aerosmith and ex-girlfriend Britney Spears, then appeared three years later as a solo act to perform alongside Janet Jackson.
We all remember that performance for the infamous wardrobe malfunction, one that unfairly blacklisted Jackson from radio and changed the course of her legendary career, while JT managed to slip under the radar.
The pop icon was still banned from the halftime show in 2014 - a whole decade later! - although if the NFL can invite Justin to headline then there is no reason Janet should still be shunned.
The timing for Justin makes total sense as he's currently working on his fifth solo album, and there's a bunch of collaborators he could bring onstage from Pharrell and Jay-Z to, of course, the *NSYNC boys.
We're here for Justin bringing 'SexyBack' to the Super Bowl next February, as long as he also brings Janet back to let her have the moment she deserved.

And every tomorrow, maybe you'll let me borrow your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday
If I were radical and every other day to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, while you beating
But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Now how about I'd be the last voice you hear at night?
And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
Every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
'Cause I know that's a good place to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, while you beating
Don't you know I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
