Justin Timberlake
O2 Arena
Wed 4 July
Review by Joe Cohen
"Gonna rock your body, night and day" is not just a lyric for Justin Timberlake - it's a promise. There was not a single booty touching velvet last night at the O2 as Timberlake sang, danced, rapped, played and cavorted through his 2.5hr set...
The 'LoveSexy' show is a true mix of RnB, Hip Hop, Broadway Musical and Performance Art in a theatre-in-the-kind-of-round setting that gave all 23,000 attendees a taste of the man and his music. Timberlake, who's bedded more starlets than Howard Hughes, electrified the audience throughout the entire evening and the sight of the entire audience on their feet for the duration of the night was a truly shocking experience. While I've respected his game, I've never been a huge JT fan but he turned me last night. The man has mad skills.
Tangentially, the O2 is the best large music venue in Europe, full stop. After all the cash and kafuffle over the dome, this venue stands out for providing a premium live experience in every way. For those who haven't made the trip yet - you should and your expectations will shift permanently. With the O2 and coming Olympic development it's becoming easy to imagine the hub that East London will soon become.
Were you there? Did Justin Timberlake rock your world? We want tour reviews and JT messages. Post your thoughts in the comments section.

Justin was our love at this fantastic venue. Out of our seats most of the time dancing and singing away, this man knows how to wow an audience. What a voice. We loved it all, come back to london soon Justin.

I was there on 4 July and it was an amazing concert. He sounded incredible singing live and he definitely justifies all of the fuss made about him. He is multi talented, he just never stopped moving! I live near Greenwich and it is great to see the old Millenium Dome transformed to the O2 - a great venue and good for SE London.

I went to the concert on 7th July 07 with 3 friends. JT is just such an all-rounder. He can sing, dance, play instruments and is gorgeous to boot. I didn't really think much of the screens coming down around him at the start as it obscured the view of him. But having him projected on the screen was good - a larger than life picture of him!!!!! The O2 is a fab venue, never been before but really enjoyed the whole experience.
