Futuresex/Lovesounds (Deluxe Edition) Reviews:
Justin Makes Critics Cringe Yet He Slams Dunk!!! 
2009-10-12 - This Deluxe Version is a much improved release as there is live footage of Justin performing in Paris, the MTV Europe Music Awards, the MTV/VMAs, Live from Prive, and more! The fact the videos are all here lasting over 30 minutes is a definite step up from the regular release. The videos include "SexyBack", "My Love", "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows" "What Goes Around... Comes Around..." and behind-the-scenes of each. The entire viewing is over an hour. The packaging is a classy silver platinum type with open up style along disco themes definitely reminiscent of the times when the 80's and disco were exploding. Justin delivers dance tracks with R&B hints, party vibes, and excellent club ambiance!
The visuals on the live performances are Justin like never ever before. Timbaland appears on many of the live performances looking very happy, confident, and definitely in *the* mood!!! From Justin's different elegant outfits, to his seductive styles along fabulous singing it becomes obvious why he is such a wide adored music artist. His passion is apparent, his drive is strong, and his love for what he does shows. The different live shows bring a Justin that has rhythm-n-blues plus pop, dance, and other creative flaires all mixed up. Overall, the look he shows, the dancing techniques, and the singing are definitely a step up from his past live appearances. Obviously, his God given gift is cherished, embraced, and shared with his fans all over the world.
The first disc has the songs many have come to love that have reached #1 positions such as "SexyBack", "My Love", "LoveStoned", and "What Goes Around..." to name a few. Timbaland's touches of drums, bounce, and R&B are apparent. His styles are off the chain and when combined with Justin they only ignite more. For rap lovers, "Chop Me Up", will be sure to attract since Three 6 Mafia and Timbaland make much collaboration on the song. There is heavy bass, tight rhymes, and some overcharged electronica enhanced rap vocals. "Damn Girl" featuring Will.I.Am has much reminisce of the times when disco was at an all time high and artists such as Prince were big. His voice levels have some similarity to his.
As the album begins slamming with dance tracks blended with R&B/hip-hop then the moods simmer down to mellow rhythm-n-blues to finally the extra "bonus" songs.
Bonus 1: "Until The End of Time" [Duet with Beyoncé] sounds average and not top mark because Beyoncé's vocals are very deep and strong making Justin sound whiny and girlie. If he would've put Ciara or Janet Jackson perhaps the blend would have been to his advantage. Rating: 3 stars
Bonus 2: "SexyBack" [DJ Wayne Williams Ol Skool Remix Featuring Missy Elliott] has a very distinct hip-hop edge not heard in most typical commercial songs making it stand-out to a degree. Missy Elliott could have done a better job here thus she reminds me of Janet's collaboration in Discipline which only sounded not her best. Rating: 3 1/2 stars
Bonus 3: "Sexy Ladies" featuring 50 Cent has much romantic content with "safe sex". Also, on this track 50 Cent could have done just a bit better focusing more on blending his rap with the R&B--Overall: Rating: 3 1/2 stars.
If Justin would have put "What Goes Around... Comes Around Remix in a club tech disco style and "SexyBack" with Timbaland in the drums "Tim" style, and a hip-hop "Sexy Ladies" with T.I. or "Pose" with Snoop Dogg found in the Japanese Edition this would have been the ultimate 5 stars deluxe edition.
Overall, the music is excellent with those bonus songs being average but the videos and performances are what make this truly smashing--slam dunk hot!!!! Justin Timberlake has definitely accomplished a lot in a short time definitely making his fan base anxious for more or shall I say Gimme More!
Justin Rocks!!! 
2008-04-08 - A great version from FutureSex/LoveSounds!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! CD with 3 New Re-mixes bonus including duet with Beyonce, Missy Elliot and 50 cent! And 60 minute Bonus DVD featuring tv performances, all of his hit music videos, making of and much more!! Just perfect!!
Don't know received another cd in its place 
2008-01-18 - Didn't rec the Justin Timberlake cd I ordered. Recd another in its place and to date have been to busy to deal with returning it!
It should of had a EDITED sticker on it somewhere... 
2008-01-14 - I'm not saying edited music is bad, especially if the cd is going to a child, but WHY WOULDN'T THE CD HAVE IT MENTIONED SOMEWHERE THAT IT IS INDEED EDITED!!!!!!!! No label or sticker, no where is it mentioned on or in the CD!
The thing is, once it is opened, you can't return it! What a rip!!!
Good music (since there really isn't much to edit anyway), but stupid and unfair sells tactic. :(
Great DVD!
2008-01-07 - This DVD shows the true Justin Timberlake and his performance. My brother loves it!
