Justin began the show talking about how he hadn’t been to MSG in seven years and I turned to my friend and said, “Yeah, I was totally here the last time ‘N Sync played MSG.” Ah, such is my love for JT. I was always a J.C. kind of girl, but J.C. wasn’t playing and his creepy song “Some Girls Dance with Women,” has forced me to move on.
Pink opened. I’ll be honest, I don’t really remember it, although she did play some song directed to President Bush. All I could think was most people in this audience couldn’t name our Vice President (It is Dick Cheney if you don’t know). She was unimpressive and now I’m moving on to the good stuff…Justin!
Justin preformed for about 2 and a half hours. Who does that? Justin! He started off with “Future Sex/Love Sounds” and moved quickly onto some of his recent hits. He took a break while Timbaland did a 20 minute set. At first I was a little nervous, Tim's a producer, but his section was a blast, he had us singing along to the Fray and Nelly Furtado as well as remembering it’s been almost six years since Aaliyah died. (Can you believe it?) Then Justin hit the stage closing with “Sexyback.” I’m almost positive Justin played every song off his new album, Future Sex/Love Sounds and the three hits from Justified, "Senorita," "Like I love You" and "Cry Me a River." He also threw in a little ‘N Sync, doing the first part of “Gone.” Justin left the stage only to return to do his hilarious SNL song “D*ck in a Box.” Andy Sanberg joined. (A great picture is on people.com) I haven’t been this entertained at a concert since, High School Musical, The Concert! Just kidding. It totally took me back to my boy band days, and I think I like it!

With only six soccer stadiums deemed safe for public viewing, Italian officials have ordered soccer matches played in unfit stadiums to ban public viewing. Instead the games will have to be televised to the public. This comes after a game in Sicily resulted in a riot killing one police officer last week. The six fit stadiums are in Genoa, Siena, Cagliari, Turin, and Palermo. Noticeably absent from the list are stadiums in Florence, Rome, Naples and Bologna. (AP)
