Justin Timberlake Scores 20/20 Set At V Festival

REVIEW: Superstar performer delivers a 'Total Knock Out' headline show in Chelmsford...

Has V Festival come around that quickly? Oh yes but boy it has notdisappointed! Last night(August 16)Justin Timberlake once again shone on stagein Chelmsford during yet another stunningheadline set.

The multi-talented singer/dancer/actor/all-round handsome man, brought his brand of sexy, classy, crowd-energising tunes to an audience of festival goers as far as the eye could see and it's safe to say none left without a spring in their step...

Feeling: Following on from a rip-roaring set from man-of-the-moment Ed Sheeran(aka JT's "brother from a redheaded mother" - his words!), people were on a high, only to be lifted even higher by what was to come.

The Look: In his trademarksuit, button up shirt and fedora hat, Justin looked as slick as ever set in front of the brass and glamour ofhis band The Tennessee Kids.

Tunes: The Timberlake back catalogue never gets old. Seriously. The classics like Rock Your Body, Like I Love You and My Love still get the same raucous reception while the latest cuts from The 20/20 Experiencemake you want to sing along even if you don't quite have the words nailed yet (guilty). Stand out moments were the infectiousTake Back The Night which just get better live on every listen, the tease ofHoly Grail before rounding intoan amped upCry Me A River and the guaranteedcrowd-pleasers Sexy/Back and Mirrors which rounded off a 90 minute set of Timberlake greatness.

Banter: A chilly JT made fun of our paltry British summertime: "I guess I'm just a pussy!" - you should have been here the other week Justin! He alsothen cast his eye on the front row of the crowd seeing a request for a birthday selfie with a fan - a dream which he made true in an instant. Well played sir!

Celeb Spots: We caught a cheery aforementioned redhead Ed Sheeran nipping back and forth from side of stage. No doubt others were enjoying the set far from our prying eyes.

Special Guests: While we would've loved to see a fellow V-Fester make a cheeky cameo on stage with the superstar,The Tennessee Kids deserve a mention for their incredibleenergy, talent andpersonality getting right in on the action around the solo star.

Sweat Factor: It's physically impossible not to fully dive into the Timberlake groove and get wet in the process. Wait that sounds bad...While the ballads settled the tens of thousands in Hylands Park, the majority of the set saw guys getting down to the RnB beats whilegirls swished their hair as if their lives depended on it.

Summary:Man this guy has some moves! Working the microphone stand like a fifth limb, Justin Timberlake is one of, if not 'the' best front man of this generation.No big parlour tricks - just great songs, great moves and a great way to end the first night of V Fest! In short, just like his tune TKO it was a total knock out.
