Summary: Astonishingly BAD!!
Review: A friend of mine owns this DVD and forced me to watch it one night and I'll regret it the rest of my life! I can't get over how awful this dude is - he "sings" and "dances" like a girl and it would be hilariously funny if he didn't take himself so seriously! Throw this in the garbage with the rest of his attempts at cashing in on his lack of talent. If you watch this, I guarantee you'll feel cheated and violated! It's THAT bad!!!

Summary: Don't Buy this!
Review: Everything included on this DVD is terrible, I advise you to not buy into the hype! All of his videos and performances are horrendous and his singing voice sounds like a 10 year old girl screaming combined with fingernails on a chalkboard! Awful, just awful! Stay away from anything with this idiots name on it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ignore the haters, buy this DVD!
Review: First of all, the people below me who gave this a bad review need to get a life. I suspect it's just one or two people since the reviews sound almost exactly the same (bad grammar, spelling, petty pot shots and all) and definitely aren't constructive in any way either. I noticed the same people posted similar reviews under Justin's other DVD "Live From London" and it seems pretty evident these people have never been Justin Timberlake fans so that leads me to conclude they just came here to rip on him because they're unhappy people and need to do this to feel good about themselves. That's pretty sad, guys... really. Did you even bother to watch the DVDs in question? For some reason, I doubt it.

Comparing this DVD to Led Zepplin, Audio Slave, the Allman Brothers, etc and saying it doesn't live up to those standards is ridiculous. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Those artists aren't even in the same genre as Justin and they're all amazing bands but that's just it -- they're rock bands, not R&B/Pop solo artists.

Also what's so wrong with Justin immitating Michael a little or sounding a bit like him and Stevie Wonder? Haven't you ever heard the saying, "Immitation is the greatest form of flattery"? Justin grew up listening to those artists just like the rest of us so of course they're going to have a big influence on him as an artist. However, I feel Justin's music represents a great deal of who he is as a person too. His lyrics are heartfelt, his performances are electrifying, overall he's an amazing, extremely talented performer that just so happens to share artistic similarities with other well established artists. Big deal! What? You never met someone else who liked the same music as you do? We all have similarities -- likes and dislikes we share. There's nothing wrong with that. That's like a three year old saying no one else can like their favorite cartoon show because it's THEIR show. It's that silly.

It'd be different if Justin completely ripped off a Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder track, but he didn't. He let them influence him, even immitated Michael on-stage but I feel that was more in homage to Michael. Justin's way of acknowledging and showing respect to an amazing artist that has had a major affect on the music industry and generations of people. Britney Spears actually TRIES to be Madonna but I didn't see any mention of that in the nasty little reviews left here. In fact, she did a segment completely dedicated to Madge on-stage too during her first tour years ago. Wore her hair up in that silly cone and everything. Even sang a few Madonna songs. And let's not even get started on her song "Boys". If anyone can seriously listen to that track and say it's not a blatant rip off of Janet Jackson's song "Nasty" then I'll have to laugh in your face. Of course, unlike Ms. Spears Justin's never actually performed with Michael either or locked lips with him. But see, I don't see anyone mentioning that here either. How convenient.

The Superbowl halftime show is really up to individual interpretation. Accidents do happen including wardrobe but it could've been a stunt too. Did he perform with JJ so he could be more like Michael though? I doubt it. I've never seen Michael grind up on his sister before and let's not forget NSYNC toured with Janet so it stands to reason they became friends. It certainly has NOTHING to do with this DVD though, does it?

Personally, I think Justin is an amazing artist who reminds me a lot of a young Elvis. He certainly isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He's here to stay and all you naysayers who just come here to hate on him without offering anything constructive on the actual product in question need to deal with it.

This DVD is one of my favorites. His performances on-stage are inspirational but the videos included in this are the main reason to buy it. I'd suggest "Live From London" if you want more concert footage.

BTW, I'm a singer myself, just signed a four album deal too, so maybe I understand more as an artist what the musical process is like in this case since I've let many artists influence my music as well. That doesn't mean I'm trying to be them. It just means I appreciate their talents and hope that someday I can achieve the artistry they represent. If someone compared me to Janet Jackson or said my music sounded a lot like Mariah's I wouldn't consider that an attack or accusation. To me it'd be a compliment. These artists have been successful for many years. They must be doing something right, huh?

If you're a Justin fan then buy this DVD. It's a must for any JT fan's collection or any R&B/Pop musician (like me) looking for a little inspiration. I'm proud of Justin. Keep doing your thing, boo!

Summary: Justified: The Videos
Review: Here's what I think about "Justified: The Videos". I'm a huge fan of Justin Timberlake, but this DVD was kind of disappointing.
The videos, of course, were great. However, the behind-the-scenes footage was boring, and the live performances were just okay, except the Brit Awards performance, which was cool. Justin Timberlake is a 4-star artist, but this is a 3-star DVD.
If you're a big JT fan like me, buy this DVD. If not, don't buy it.

Overall- 6/10

Summary: Well worth it
Review: I am a big fan of "Mr JT" and snapped this off the shelf as soon as it was released. I was pleased that there were a few extras, in particular MTV's Making the Video and the MTV Launch of Justified was really interesting. My only beef with this DVD was that it should have inlcuded the full versions of Making the Video, Launch and the BRIT award performance. Also I did think there were too many live performances of the same song (Like I Love You & Cry Me A River). I wouldve like to have seen a live performance of Rock Your Body or Senorita. But overall I was extremely pleased with the DVD... he is a very talented artist and I look forward to any future projects he has going.
PS - I absolutely LOVE the new song, Im Lovin It!! And the vid is really good too!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: CRAP!!
Review: I can't understand how anyone can handle watching this crap for more than 5 seconds! Justin is truly a horrendous singer and dancer and should retire from the music industry immediately! He's nothing but a rip-off of Michael Jackson, hopefully he'll go retire to Neverland along with him. Take my advice and throw this in the garbage along with his awful CD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best DVD I've owned
