Bringing Sexyback, he certainly did! Having already seen JT (front row, may I add, during his Justified tour in Sheffield), I had extremely high expectations.

He did not disappoint, at all!

This was not a concert but an amazing show - there was the 360 degree stage which had not just any normal screens but a cyclorama, a 12 piece band, attractive male and female dancers, talented backing singers and a laser light show.

And, if that wasn't enough after half an hour of watching, no drooling over, Mr Trouser Snake Timberlake there was an interval which was filled by the amazingly talented Timberland!

Every song that he's collaborated on was montaged together with the people that he'd worked with projected on to the cyclorama, including Missy Elliot, and Nelly Furtado. Once JT came back out they gave an excellent performance of "Sexyback."

And speaking of double acts, JT even managed to perform one with himself, for as he paraded down to one end of the stage to sing to delighted fans an exact double paraded down to the other.

At times you were unsure whether the tight trousers you were ogling belonged to JT or his doppelganger.

While some may pigeon-hole this performer as simply a good-looking singer, the superstar showed how he had climbed the heights by showing off all his talents, including taking solo spot on the piano, taking to the mixing desks and getting to grips with a guitar.

From start to finish the level of screaming from female (and male) fans showed just good a show JT put on. Ffrom the look on his face at the end he was just as impressed with the audience as they were with him.
