1. Song is OK.
2. I'm not sure how I feel about the ongoing 7 minute Part 1 (original) & Part 2 (remix) of the same song. Each song on the 20/20 franchise has the same treatment/arrangment, some work, some don't.
3. We've run out of ideas for music videos....show some titties...yeah that'll get their attention.
4. Still a fan. Looking forward to picking up Part 2.

JT's attempt to be Robin Thicke

Lame video and even lamer song

I don't see how people keep comparing JT to Robin. JT doesn't need to be Robin because JT is WAY more popular to white audiences than Robin ever wiill be. Robin has always wanted to be the white Marvin Gaye. His vocal stylings, music arrangements, and everything else is all Marvin. JT comes across as a wanna be MJ. I'm not dissing him for wanting to be that, but that's what I feel. I think JT has tried to be a modern MJ by (mostly) sticking with Timbaland and the same group of folks for his albums.

Oh....Tunnel Vision is a weak single. "Strawberry Bubblegum" is my favorite song on the album.

In fairness, I haven't heard all of his first 20/20 release yet but by judging from what I've heard, I think it was a mistake for him to stick with Timbaland artistically. They sound like they're repeating themselves and indulging their egos with the extended songs. But that's just me.

I knew after the success of FS/LS that it would be hard for him to leave Tim. Timbaland is his comfort blanket musically. There's nothing wrong with that per se, but if there's little to no artistic growth in the partnership, maybe you should begin to challenge yourself more.

I really like 20/20 pt 1, but a lot of the songs are repeats of what he's done b4. Like you said, he does need to grow.

.

BTW, Pt 2 of the 20/20 Experience is up on iTunes for previewing now.

Y'know I didn't really notice a drastic change-up on this.. it just kinda kept going for 7 minutes.
