Flashback! Justin Timberlake Performs "Pusher Love Girl" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
This week, late night with Jimmy Fallon is re-airing the whole Timber-week extravaganza, which happened in March.
The return look at the 20/20 Experience launch was not only a good week of shows but, it also helps as a primer to Timberlake releasing the 20/20 Experience Part 2 in September.
However, everytime I see his "Pusher Lover Girl performance" as well as Let The Groove in, "it reminds me what a mistake it was not releasing those tracks after "Suit & Tie".
Both of those songs would have been solid, if not major hits, but by keeping the album that hot, it would have also pushed back the launch of 20/20 Part 2.
Sure, the original "20/20 Experience" was not the full blown comeback that people wanted from J.T (remember, he was early 20's when "Justified" and "Futuresex"), but it wasn't lacking in good songs.
But by going with "Mirrors" and "Tunnel Vision", Timberlake and his label made a choice to burn some tracks before the next album out.
Unfortunately for Jessica Biel's husband and Jay Z's current touring partner, Robin Thicke who has been in Timberlake's shadow for years, hooked up with his Star Trak label boss Pharrell and created the biggest song of his career with "Blurred Lines." (The gradual building of Thicke's recent success is also direct contrast to the overblown promotion that came with "20/20 Experience" in March).
This is not to say you can't have two blue eyed soul singers at the same time, but the law of music averages says that Timberlake's punt of 20/20 Experience part one is Robin Thicke's "Blurred" musical and maybe award winning gain.

Jennifer Garner Joins Ben Affleck During His Five Timer Monologue
I'm a fan of Beniffer 2.0.
While the orginal Bennifer of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez crashed and burned faster than their movie "Gigli"(good move Ben), Affleck's marriage with former Daredevil co-star Jennifer Garner seems to rival Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey as one of the most solid unions in Hollywood.
You could see the fondness for each other during the award season, especially when Affleck won the Oscar for "Argo" and it continued on the season finale of Saturday Night Live as as Jennifer joined Ben as he mocked his Academy Award speech.
The interesting thing about Ben Affleck's five time run as SNL host it that you could also gauge is love life by his monologue, with not just Garner and Lopez, but also Gwyneth Paltow who dated Affleck back in 2000.

Miguel Rock's Out "Adorn" and "How Many Drinks" on SNL
Judging by the rock-ish tone of both his Saturday Night Live performances, it seems like Miguel's second album will lean a bit more towards rock. This move might alientate some if his R&B fans, but you can be a true student of Prince and just dude R&B, right?

Daft Punk Drops “Get Lucky” Ad w/ Pharrell & Nile Rodgers on SNL & Coachella 2013
I love Daft Punk!
With a a few teaser spots on Saturday Night Live and a suprise clip at Cochealls, the EDM pioneers might have spent a few thousand dollars on over million dollars worth of word of the mouth for their new album.
Take not Justin Timerblake!

French Rockers "Phoenix" Impresses on SNL
Trying to Be Cool
Drakkar Noir
I've love this second song Phoenix performed. It reminds of the pop urban influenced British bands like KajaGooGoo back in the 80s.

Top Five Moments from Justin Timberlake's SNL 2013 Show
For the fifth time (wow he got to five appearances past), Justin Timberlake hosted Saturday Night Live. For most of the year, Bruno Mars held the lead as the season's top SNL host, but Mr. "Suit and Tie" quickly grabbed his 2013 hosting crown back with a bunch of action packed, funny sketches which made the night's episode the highest rated in 14 months when Charles Barkley hosted (unfortunately petered out at he end like most SNL shows).
However, everything before the ill fated"Calugia" sketch was on point, including the opener with the other "Five Time" hosts, Jay-Z's appearance on "Suit and Tie", the return of Stefon on "Weekend Update" and the "Veganville" shake sketch, which much like Bruno Mars "Sirius XM" skit cannot be not seen on Hulu or NBC.com because there were so many copyrighted songs in it, (so I got the bootleg video below).
1.) All "Veganville" Everything
2.)Weekend Update: Stefon on Spring Break
3.) Justin Timberlake's Five Timers Monologue
4.) Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z Suit & Tie Performance
5.) It's a Date with Two Wild and Crazy Guys
