Justin Timberlake and the 20/20 Experience

Let’s get this straight right from the start. I’m a little old to be oohing and aahing over Justin Timberlake. I mean, honestly, I’m old enough to be his mo…. I mean… his big sister. I was almost married when N’Sync was formed and young girls were fawning all over them. The songs were catchy and I listened to them when they came on the radio… but I would never have gone to a concert or purchased an album.

So, I got married, had a few babies and never gave him a second thought. Until Saturday Night Live. I’ve been around long enough to know all the ups and downs of SNL. I also know that the show is really only as good as the guest star. From the first time JT performed on SNL, I sat up and took notice. This kid is TAL-ENT-ED!!! Wow… who knew?

All of a sudden Justin blossomed from being part of a “boy band” to being an uber-talented singer-actor-comedian. When “Sexy Back” was released… holy cow! This old mama took notice.

So then… I took my daughter, Temera, to the Grammy Red Carpet this past February and guess who we saw?

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE CAME OVER AND TALKED TO US!!!!!!

I’m sorry… did I scream that out loud? Because I might have… and because he was the NICEST GUY EVER!!!! And he was wearing a SUIT AND TIE!!! We were sitting at the end of the red carpet and he just walked right over to say Hi to everyone. He hung out for a while and chatted and answered questions. If you’ve ever seen JT in person, you just can’t help but loving him. I was hooked!

AND OMG HE HAS THIS AWESOME NEW ALBUM OUT AND I NEED TO GO BUY IT!

Somebody stop me!

I was glued to the TV watching his perform on the Grammy’s.

I was glued to the TV watching him perform on Saturday Night Live.

I was pretty sure I’d be running out to buy his new CD ASAP! And then I hear this awesomeness….

WALMART IS SELLING THE JT 20/20 EXPERIENCE FOR ONLY $7.00!

I know… I’m shouting again. Sorry.

You can see my trip to Walmart to see Justin HERE and you can go ahead and purchase the album online HERE. But seriously… the best deal is to go to Walmart NOW up until March 24, 2013 so you can purchase the CD for the special $7.00 price!

So I put the CD on in the car and my daughters are looking at me funny. “What?” I say. And they roll their eyes again. Am I singing too loud? Am I dancing in my seat? Guilty.

There are 10 new songs on the album and I already have my favorites:

SUIT & TIE (OF COURSE)

Contagious. That’s the only way I can describe this song. I love that there is an old-Hollywood feel about it too. And damn if you can just picture JT without his suit and tie.

LET THE GROOVE GET IT (I DARE YOU NOT TO DANCE)

The first time I heard this in my car I found myself doing a little shoulder action. This is the song that will cause me to make a fool out of myself and embarrass my kids.

MIRRORS (PERFECT DRIVING MUSIC)

Honestly, close your eyes and you are transported back to the 40′s. From boy band to timeless crooner.

So, where are my JT fans? Are you following on Facebook? Are you following on Twitter? ‘Cause you all know I certainly am! I’m seriously thinking I need to go back and revisit the whole N’Sync craze. I might have missed the boat back in ’95, but I’m not missing the boat in ’13.

Follow Walmart on Facebook and Twitter to get the scoop on all the great deals they’ve got going on.
