What to expect at Justin Timberlake’s Atlanta show on June 10

The album’s reviews and chart performance were a bit disappointing. It debuted at No. 4, but completely disappeared from the Billboard 200 albums chart after just four weeks. It is, by far, his least successful solo album. Reviews were also mixed, with many echoing the sentiments of Pitchfork, who called it a “comfortable rehash.”

Despite all this, it remains a major draw for concerts. Reviews of the tour have been mostly excellent. After the first date in Vancouver, British Columbia, on April 29, the Vancouver Sun called it “the best show the singer has ever played in Vancouver.” He played several dates in many cities, including Boston, Chicago, New York and Atlanta. These Atlanta dates are five months apart. The Tennessee native will return to State Farm Arena on November 16.

The tour’s set list draws from his entire solo catalog, but don’t expect any ‘N Sync tracks, including the one that made him the social media darling of spring, “It’s Gonna Be Me.” If you’re unfamiliar with this May-themed meme, it’s a goof in the way Timberlake pronounces the word “me” in the title phrase.

This year, Timberlake himself acknowledged the annual resurgence of his strange pronunciation at the turn of the decade with his own social media post. In the post, a TikToker asks this question: “What word did you mispronounce once that still haunts you today?

Timberlake’s response: “Um…me.” »
