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.
