JT Tries to Bring "SexyBack"

Posted Jul 25th 2006 5:07PM by TMZ Staff

Justin Timberlake's new music video for "SexyBack" had its big premiere on "TRL" today and by the looks of it Cameron Diaz had better be worried. The Timbaland collaboration from JT's upcoming album provides the perfect backdrop for some steamy scenes and the video definitely doesn't disappoint.

The video features Timberlake and a hot woman as spies who start getting down in a hotel room. The two throw each other around violently as things heat up, and one can't help but draw comparisons to "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," though they don't get anywhere near the heights of Brangelina's all-too-real performance.

Sure, it's hot, but there is one part we could do without -- Justin's gay cowboy look. Though it probably wasn't what he was going for, wearing a bandana around your neck and dancing around a bunch of disco balls throws the video off.

While the video as a whole definitely lives up to the "Sexy" part of its name, Matthew McConaughey's recent work-out schedule makes us wonder if "sexy" ever went away in the first place.

19. First off I really liked the song because it sounded like Justin was bringing something new and invigorating back to the music scene since it is starving for some spice. With Britney having babies, Christina going 30s, Jessica Simpson's tacky public afair and Beyonce and Janet's lack of reinvention, Justin's first song really sounded like a breath of fresh air. Old pop with a newage twist.

But the video really disappointed me. Only because I see so much more potential in the song, I really thought it was gonna bring sexy back for real. The song is still a fav of mine, but the video is just so ordinary. Rock your body video was better than this and that was just lights all over a room. But it was fresh and new and it worked. These dance songs need hott videos or it just doesn't go to the next level. And that's just sad when they do not realize that a video can make or break a song, so the same amount of thought and production that goes into recording and producing it, needs to be equal or maybe surpass that amount in the video.

Look at Missy Elliot. Perfect example. Her videos are mini movies as I like to say. And she scores every time.

20. Why is Justin talking about Britney all of a sudden? Dose he still like her or is he trying to use her name to help his music career get revived?

21. That sucks, Justin sucks, POP totally sucks! Its okay when you're a teenage drama queen but come on!! Really! Who can actually listen to this crap?

And Justin is NOT hot....he's a dork!! He's probably off frollicking with Lance and his boyfriend on the down low because I think he's gay and I would have thought more Justin than Lance any day on being a homo!
