NSYNC REUNION: Justin Timberlake Caps VMA Medley

The set opened with a montage of Justin's most iconic solo videos, from "Rock Your Body" to "Mirrors," then segued into Timberlake dancing his way through the Barclays while singing his new single, "Take Back the Night." After swinging the camera out of his face, JT materialized on the main stage as the first strains of "SexyBack" got the crowd on their feet, which is where they stayed for the next 10 minutes.
It was the beginning of a trip through a catalog of massive songs that would be the envy of any artist. Justin proved why he's the commander in chief of the Billboard Hot 100 with the still-unbelievably funk "Like I Love You," which, like all the night's songs, was accompanied by JT's fleet-footed dancing and effortless ability to ride the groove without breaking a sweat.

The stutter-step beat of "My Love" had Timberlake making his way into the crowd on a ramp, popping and locking before a microphone shot up out of the stage as the ominous Timbaland beat from "Cry Me a River" caused mass pandemonium. Gaga was bobbing her head, Will Smith was dancing like nobody was looking and all you could see at home was a sea of hands waving side-to-side.
Because he can seemingly do it all, Timberlake jumped behind the keyboard for "Señiorita," which had Rihanna dancing in her seat and Swift and bestie Selena Gomez geeking out out. Speaking of rocking, "Rock Your Body" moved the party to a "Saturday Night Fever"-like pulsing dancefloor before the moment everyone was waiting for finally arrived.
With the house lights down and the stage bathed in search beams, Justin said, "you asked for it," and the rest of 'NSYNC floated up from below the stage.
