On the eve of Super Bowl XLVII, Justin Timberlake returned to the stage for his first performance in nearly five years at DIRECTV’s Super Saturday Night in New Orleans. The singer/actor thrilled with an hour-long set of old and brand new material.
Rockin a black tuxedo, with a guitar over his shoulder, the dapper superstar opened with “Like I Love You,” backed by his 10-piece band “The Tennessee Kids.” He played such hits such as “Cry Me a River” and “Rock Your Body,” and remixed “My Love” with Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Ni**as in Paris.”
The crowd erupted when he introduced Jay-Z for the first live performance of his new single “Suit and Tie.” He surprised by performing two new songs off his upcoming album The 20/20 Experience (due March 19), including “That Girl” and the falsetto-driven “Pusher Love Girl.”
