Timberlake redeems himself sans breast slip in 2018 Super Bowl halftime show"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>It was that time again yesterday for everyone\u2019s favourite live concert: the Super Bowl halftime show, which this year featured Justin Timberlake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of eyes were on Timberlake for his much-anticipated 2018 performance, 14 years after Janet Jackson had a breast slip while singing \u201cRock Your Body\u201d onstage with the star.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\" id=\"attachment_5674\"><img decoding=\"async\"

of the show, but Timberlake managed to keep it exciting with a thrilling vocal and dance performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It started off in what looked like a club inside the stadium for an energetic opening with his brand new track, \u201cFilthy,\u201d off of his newly released album, \u2018Man Of The Woods.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, JT moved out onto a staircase leading into the stadium where he performed \u201cRock Your Body\u201d (a.k.a. the wardrobe malfunction song) with a couple backup dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the artist sang his way to the Super Bowl stage, a showcase of his biggest hits was in full swing complete with his band, a slew of backup dancers and thousands of lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timberlake performed \u201cMy Love,\u201d \u201cCry Me A River\u201d and \u201cSexyBack,\u201d and he even sang a short chorus of \u201cSenorita,\u201d one of his lesser known hits that was a surprise in the set list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NSYNC alumnus hit every note and every dance move live with incredible energy and skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While taking the audience on a nostalgic trip through his greatest hits, Justin Timberlake mixed in a memorable homage to the late Prince by performing \u201cI Would Die 4 U.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tribute song was one of Prince\u2019s biggest hits, and JT sang along to it while playing a white piano, a video clip of Prince in a purple robe rolling behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The homage went further than the stage with a shot shown on the live broadcast of Minneapolis, Prince\u2019s hometown, turning purple in celebration of the icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his nod to Prince, JT returned to his pop jams, singing \u201cSuit and Tie\u201d complete with a marching band and \u201cMirrors\u201d surrounding the stage with backup dancers holding actual mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timberlake finished his stunning performance with his pop hit, \u201cCan\u2019t Stop The Feeling\u201d from last year\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Trolls<\/em>&nbsp;movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the 2018 halftime show didn\u2019t include \u2018justice\u2019 for Janet Jackson or an NSYNC reunion that many were hoping for, Justin Timberlake still gave a great performance showing off his dance moves and reminding the audience that so many of his songs were successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin Timberlake won\u2019t be in the news for his co-star\u2019s wardrobe malfunction this year \u2013 he\u2019ll be remembered for his homage to Prince and his incredible vocal and dance performance that redeemed his reputation as a talented musical artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 years after Janet Jackson had a breast slip while singing \u201cRock Your Body\u201d onstage with the star, all eyes
