Justin Timberlake: Futuresex / Loveshow - Live from Madison Square Garden (DVD)

   Whenever one of these young superstars comes shooting to the skies almost from one day to the next, one must inevitably ask oneself whether it's just all hype, or they are actually worth the fuzz. I have myself had a casual acquiantance with Justin Timberlake's music for the last couple of years - after all, anybody who does watch MTV just once every year will have stumbled into hits like Rock Your Body, Cry Me A River, Sexyback or What Goes Around (Comes Around) - and so, when Justin stopped by Copenhagen this year, to play for a whooping 54.000 people, I decided to give it a try, just to see what it was all about.

   I saw this on HBO one day when I was bored and couldn't find anything else to watch.NOT a Justin Timberlake fan(in fact, I really didn't know who he was!), I expected to be amused, maybe.....instead, I was totally impressed- by an incredible production on the scale of a major Broadway musical: the staging; the choreography....and yes, the songs. This is an extraordinary performance, by an extraordinary talent. It took my breath away. I no longer "laugh" at Justin Timberlke.

I LOVE Justin Timberlake and I LOVE this concert - I've watched the HBO special on tv many times. You can understand my disappointment upon receiving the DVD of the HBO special and finding that it had been edited!!! Well...all except for ONE SONG. Perhaps the editing team took a bathroom break during Cry Me A River. Ridculous. Nowhere did it say ANYTHING about this being an edited version. had I known, I would NOT have spent the money on it. I would never in a million years expect that a DVD of an HBO show would be edited.
