Though a lot of parents, some feminists, some members of the black community and plenty of actual twerkers took issue with Miley Cyrus' 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance, one person in particular dug it: the man of the night, Justin Timberlake.
The much-hyped 'N SYNC reunion at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards turned out to be more of a cameo by the boy band, who essentially just supported Justin Timberlake in his Video Vanguard Award and performance ... and it turns out, Timberlake's bandmates (Lance Bass, J.C. Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick) were thrilled for the 'Mirrors' singer, but they were less than thrilled at how the show turned out.
'N Sync fans got the reunion they've long been clamoring for at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards -- it just was too short!
August 26, 2013 Before I start this take on the MTV Video Music Awards, I know I’m outside its demographic or target audience but it along with pop music is still part of what I do for a living so here we go.
Before the broadcast, Justin Timberlake joked that receiving the Video Vanguard Award at the 2013 MTV VMAs was receiving the "You Got Old Award." Well, the way he sang and danced tonight (Aug. 25), turning in an epic medley of tunes and inviting his former 'N Sync bandmates to join him, proved him to be anything but old.
Justin Timberlake had already won the night's most prestigious award, pulled off an epic performance, was publicly dubbed the "President of Pop," reunited with his legendary boy band -- what else could he get at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards? How 'bout Video of the Year!
Justin Timberlake was the man of the night at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. He not only nabbed Video of the Year for 'Mirrors,' he also reunited with 'N SYNC for his Video Vanguard performance!
Remember last week when we deemed 'N Sync member Lance Bass a destroyer of dreams and a crusher of hopes, when he "appeared" to shut down the reunion rumors for the MTV Video Music Awards tonight (Aug. 25)? We did point out that Bass never said "it's not happening." He was coy and noncommittal, but we sorta tried to accept that it wasn't happening, to avoid disappointment. Well, we're glad we clung to hope, as the band joined Twitter yesterday, which feels like a telltale sign the Sync are headed to Reunionville.
Justin Timberlake better get his suit and tie ready: He's just been announced as a performer for the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where he will also be honored with the event's most prestigious award.
Justin Timberlake remains on the comeback trail. His 'The 20/20 Experience' is the biggest album of 2013, rightfully so, as it was full of retro pop songs and JT's much-missed falsetto.
He's wisely keeping the party going with 'The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2,' which is out six months after the first!
