Justin Timberlake Stuns with Epic Super Bowl Halftime Show
Is there anything that this man cannot do?
It's no secret that Justin Timberlake is one of the biggest artists in the world right now. From his days as one of the lead vocalists in *NSYNC to his record-breaking solo career, the 'Summer Love' hitmaker has dominated global charts for over two decades.
And last night he honoured his work, with a legendary performance of his greatest hits at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Ooh
Everyone knows all about my direction
And in my heart somewhere I wanna go there
Still, I don't go there
Everybody says, say something then say something
Say something then say something
Say something then say something
I don't wanna get
Caught up in the rhythm of it
But I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Everyone knows all about my transgressions
Still in my heart somewhere
There's melody and harmony
For you and me, tonight (whoa)
I hear them call my name
Everybody says, say something
Then, say something, say something
Then, say something, say something
Then, say something
I don't want to get
Caught up in the rhythm of it
But I can't get help myself
No, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something
Is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something
Is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something
Is to say nothing
But I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have

NO. WE'RE NOT JOKING. JT WAS AMAZING IN HIS SUPER BOWL SLOT AND YOU CAN WATCH IT RIGHT NOW.
Taking to the Super Bowl stage, Justin used his 13 minutes to speed through a medley of the songs that made him a star. From his recent hit singles like 'Filthy' and 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' to his timeless classics like 'SexyBack' and 'Señorita', he killed it.
The entire halftime show was relentless and a big reminder as to why Justin is the massive superstar that he is today.

The performance didn't come without its controversy though. It included a Prince tribute, which some believed to be in bad taste. Not to mention, plenty were disappointed with the fact that Justin nor the Super Bowl had invited Janet Jackson to join him.
The last time that Justin performed at the Super Bowl was with Janet in 2004. Justin accidentally exposed one of Janet's breasts during the performance. After the incident, Janet was blacklisted from TV and award shows, while Justin's career thrived.
Many thought that this performance would have been an opportunity for the Super Bowl and Justin to make amends. That being said there's every chance that Justin and Janet had conversations behind the scenes and Janet chose not to perform.
Janet did actually take to Twitter ahead of the show, to confirm that she would not be there.

Controversy aside, Justin put on a great show and now we're super excited for the BRITs.
Fingers crossed that he has something just as spectacular in mind for all of us to watch.
