Saturday night, Justin Timberlake brought his 20/20 tour to a packed house at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The show kicked off promptly at 8:45pm when Timberlake emerged from shadows with an orchestral backdrop as he launched into “Pusher Love Girl.” Flanked by his incredible band of musicians and dancers affectionately called “The Tennessee Kids,” Timberlake danced, sang, rapped, and joked his way through a lengthy set list that spanned much of his solo career. Emphasis on solo as notably absent from the show were any nods to his NSYNC days.
As you’d expect with Timberlake’s ambitious project The 20/20 Experience, the concert was bold and visually spectacular, but also showcased his artistry as he effortlessly blended covers in with his own music from Elvis’ “Heartbreak Hotel” to Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature” to Kool and the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie” to Bel Biv Devoe’s “Poison” over the course of the 2.5 hour show.
The show concluded with an epic sing-a-long to his monster ballad “Mirrors,” which seemed to genuinely touch Timberlake. Ever the showman, he stood center stage and soaked up the applause before disappearing into the shadows.
