Maybe its where I know who the director is, but I like the video. Its more sophisticated than the N'Sync video's and it is labeled as a "Rock Dance" record. This song & video will get major spin at the rainbow bars. The end of the video is showing some of the sexy. However, it seems like both Mr. Timberlake and Ms. Jackson are showing amazing restraint in their first videos. Maybe due to the Superbowl tit incident? Very Dark. Hopefully this will be the way that he takes his music for the next couple minutes. BTW, i saw a live performance and he had John Blackwell & it looked like Levi on bass? Anyone else know of this happening? heart

True. It's not good. Saw the video and "making of", the other day.
One thing I don't get is why it had to be shot in Barcelona.
The only exterior shot, was composited.

It's supposed to be sexy and he's not even shot well. Not even in the "sexy" part.

Also, it's a mistake for him not to dance. It's one of his strong points.
and this video needed it. I still like the song, though.

I saw the video this morning and I'm in total agreement with lilgish, it's horrible. I have no idea what he was trying to do in that video. More lame shit on MTV.

what is the concept? it would have been better to just have a club scene going on with some people dressed gettin' down. what's this psuedo spy shit chopped up with lesbians in the bathroom and dance floor shots?

messy, messy, messy.

The song didn't grab me at first listen, and the video did not a darn thing for me. I swear, everything that's coming out these days is geared towards keeping out attention span at the level of 3 year olds confused !

No it isn't. My favorite song of his is "Cry Me a River."

OTOH, "SexyBack" is awful, so I guess the video fits.

Thats an exception to the rule. Cry Me A River is a great song, co-written and produced by Timbaland but the bulk of the magic comes from the 7 Neptunes produced tracks including, Like I love You, Rock Your Body, and Senorita.
The Neptunes certainly left their mark, a mark that JT will find difficult to reach again. I don't care for his new song at all.

The video is blah. It's supposed to be that he's rescuing the female agent. But it was boring. And he should have had some choreography in the damn thing. Please file next to Beyonce's Deja Vu video.

Eh. shrug The video's narrative is a bit hard to follow, but it's watchable, I guess. (Although he should have danced a bit. It's not like he has so much else to offer).

The song is wack, though.

I don't know about anyone else here but the video made me dislike the song even more than I did when the song came out.

I can't even take this man seriously. I mean... how do you take a record serious with a stupid ass title like "SexyBack?" Plus, the Lance Bass drama isn't gonna help him much as well.
