Justin Timberlake: Live Return Set for Super Bowl Weekend


It's only natural that after releasing a hit single and announcing a new album, Justin Timberlake will make his return to the live stage. The singer, whose "Suit & Tie" is expected to hit the top 10 on the Hot 100 this week, will perform his first solo concert in several years at a New Orleans charity concert during Super Bowl weekend.

Timberlake will be the man of the hour at the DIRECTV Super Saturday Night event, being held Feb. 2 at DTV SuperFan stadium and hosted by Mark Cuban. Questlove of The Roots is DJ'ing before and after Timberlake's set.

The event will benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children and is tied in with the 7th Annual Celebrity Beach Bowl, which as the name suggests is a football game between celebrities. This year, the roster includes Snoop Dogg, Chace Crawford of "Gossip Girl" and Olympian Lolo Jones.

The next day, Super Bowl XLVII gets underway across town at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

On Jan. 13, Timberlake released "Suit & Tie" and announced his third solo album, "The 20/20 Experience." It's his first release since 2006's blockbuster "FutureSex/LoveSounds." In his announcement, he hinted at more news to come. "That's all I'm giving you for now... I know, I know! Again, with the teasing!!!"

Timberlake wrapped his last solo tour, the "FutureSex/LoveShow," in December 2007, though he has hardly shunned the stage. In September of 2011, he played a handful of his own hits -- including "Cry Me a River" and "Like I Love You" -- midway through a concert by the band FreeSol.

I'm here for his new music, but I'm glad he won't be showing up on the main stage with Beyonce. If Janet was shunned, he should stay away as well.

Wait what did he say after the Oprah thing?

He made that song with Timberland and Nelly Furtado and he took a shot at her

He directly quoted her from that Oprah interview too

Ah I just looked that up... and then like 2-3 years after that song, mentioned that he should've tried to be there for her more. Like, you're half a decade too late on that, bruh. Especially since she thought they were friends... :/

Give It To Me? I thought that song was a dig @ Prince.

It was a dig at both

Could you speak up and stop the mumbling I don't think you're getting clear. Sitting on the top it's hard to hear you from way up here. I saw you tryin to act cute on tv just let me clear the air. We missed you on the charts last week Damn that's right, you wasn't there.

That part was about Janet
