Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl LII performance is probably one of the most anticipated half-time shows in a while - for mixed reasons. While his fans can't wait to see him take the stage with
his band, The Tennessee Kids, some followers of Janet Jackson are still holding a grudge for the
botched Super Bowl performance in 2004 when Timberlake mistakenly ripped off a
piece of Jackson's costume, showing off...well, too much.
Regardless of which side you may be on, all eyes will be
on Timberlake Sunday night in Minneapolis, and he's promised to "rock the
stage." If his past Super Bowl appearances are any indication, he
definitely will.
It's not the "Rock Your Body" singer's first
time at the big game. He took the halftime stage for the first time along side
his band *NSYNC in 2001 and later with Jackson three years
later.
And now that he finally has the stage all to himself,
Timberlake, 37, has hinted what to expect.
Will there be any special guests?
It doesn't look like it.
"I had a ton of grand ideas about
special guests, from 'N SYNC to Jay [-Z] to Chris Stapleton to Janet,"
Timberlake told reporters Thursday at a press conference in Minneapolis.
"But this year...my band, The Tennessee Kids, I feel like they're my
special guests, and I'm excited to rock the stage."
After much buzz about Jackson perhaps
returning to the stage to redo the duo's performance 14 years after her wardrobe malfunction, she put such rumors to bed
Saturday.
"To put to rest any speculation or
rumors as to whether I will be performing at the Super Bowl tomorrow; I will
not," she wrote in a statement posted to social media. “Thank you for your
support and I do look forward to seeing you all very soon.”
TMZ reported Saturday
that since the Super Bowl was in Minneapolis, the birthplace of late music icon
Prince, Timberlake planned to honor the Purple One during the halftime show.
The same report claimed that Timberlake planned to use a
Prince hologram, upsetting many fans, including his longtime collaborator and
friend, drummer Sheila E.
Still, Sheila E. took to Twitter late Saturday night to
let fans know that she spoke to Timberlake and there will be no hologram.
"Family, I spoke w/Justin 2nite and he shared
heartfelt words of respect for Prince & the Purple fans," she wrote.
"I look 4wrd 2 seeing what I’m sure is going 2 be a spectacular halftime
show. There is no hologram."
So what songs can we expect?
Timberlake released his latest album, "Man of the
Woods," earlier this week so the singer will likely perform newly-released
singles from that project. Songs, including "Filthy," "Say
Something" and his title track may all be performed live.
But previously when Timberlake went on a
worldwide tour with his band, The Tennessee Kids, they performed his past hits
such as, "TKO," "Rock Your Body," "Suit &
Tie," "SexyBack," among others.
Still, the singer hinted at what fans can
expect in a press conference Thursday.
"Without giving too much away, we're
doing a few things with this halftime show that they've never quite done
before," he told reporters.
Timberlake added that he plans to "bring
so many people together through what I think is the greatest art form, which is
music."
