Song of the Day #14 - Justin Timberlake feat. Jay Z - Suit & Tie

Time for some quality pop. I like music from a lot of genre, the important part is usually that it's done very very well by quality people.. Hard to explain. In the pop genre there are few other who beat Justin Timberlake and I was so thrilled to see that he has finally done some music again. Quality singing, quality dancing, quality arrangements, quality hook-line, this is groovey! Doesn't hurt that the video is fantastic and look like a series of black and white photos from the 50's and 60's. I mean, Justin doesn't really hurt our eyes does he? And as if that is not enough, Jay Z pops in there, more quality! These guys know what they are doing and they are doing it well and dear to take some chances. It's just.. good! As someone commented on YouTube: "Hey Bieber, Daddy's home!" I couldn't agree more. Have a happy Monday!

Music: Diiiirty Pop

When you spend your whole day working on a program where the characters dance "dirty pop" the line "diiirty pop" suddenly pops into your head. Then you send half of the rest of the day wondering, where that came from. Then suddenly it becomes clear. It's the first line in a song of a boyband that you kinda liked a long time ago and already then had the most talented lead singer ever... yepp, we are talking N*sync, Justin Timberlake and.... "Pop". I even remeber watching a making of of this video at one time. I like it. It pops out of the screen. And Justin? well you know what happened to him :) And the rest of them... I have NO idea... Anyone? Oh and that's some great dancing ;) The whole video is kinda a big Justin advert when I come to think of it. He does vocals, beat boxing and amazing dancing in this one. A bit bad quality, but that was the only thing I could find.

Great music videos: Elton John - This Train Don't Stop There Anymore

I have a kind of conflicted relationship with Elton John's music, but he has made some genius songs through the years. One of them is "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore" where he looks back on his career. The real stroke of genius was though to hire Justin Timberlake to play Elton in the video. I think this was the first time I really thought to myself "Oh, that Justin, he's gonna be huge.. Just wait for it! He's soon gonna go off on his own..". I think Justin does an amazing job and really gets the lyrics across so clear... It has brought tears to my eyes many times :) hehe

So here is one clip with behind the scenes interviews of Elton and Justin and then the video itself.
