Justin Timberlake Gives Us That Feeling of Joy

It's safe to say that Justin Timberlake knows how to put wide grins on the faces of his adoring fan base. That reputation only stands to grow thanks to "Can't Stop The Feeling" a track from the new DreamWorks animated film "Trolls". You couldn't ask for a much higher level of sunny than what you get here. The video is filled with everyday people strutting their bad stuff, whether it's a waitress, a trucker, or a gleeful blond kid in swim trunks, joy spreads like the infection you wouldn't mind acquiring. Check out JT in the supermarket chewing the scenery like there was no place he'd rather be. He achieved pop mogul status in the "aughts" decade thanks to "Sexy Back". Since then he has found film stardom to be his equal cup of tea. But you and I both know his place is up on stage wowing concert audiences of any persuasion you can name. The cotton candy fun backing musicians are mere added bonus for Justin's easily likable screen presence. He and Beyonce very much travel in the same circle. He went on to far greener pastures following N'Sync. His body of work proves he made the right call. Queen Bey jettisoned Destiny's Child to essentially rule this world and any distant planets soon to be discovered. But back to Justin. His smile electrifies the second "Can't Stop The Feeling" guns into motion. Add some bouncy drumming to the mix 25 seconds in and Justin's off to the races. What a race to be part of. Smile for smile I can merely use "Happy", the Pharrell Williams earwig as comparison of a similar sugary sweet blissful times nugget. The underlying bass not only allows the drummer boy to take a break, it also allows Justin to ingratiate himself on the video end even more than he already is. The portly black gentleman gyrating in front of the barber shop sells those parts of the video Justin hasn't mapped out on his own. Justin and Pharrell have sunshine references in their songs. Pharrell suggests the sun might want to take a break now that his woman has arrived. In Justin's case the sunshine resides in his pocket. Choice real estate if you ask me. The grocery clerk clutching his pricing gun comes off as nothing but a squeezable lug. What I'm getting at is each of the average Joe participants revels in his/her dance moves. Think about it. This track stems from a movie about trolls. I don't think party time creatures when trolls are mentioned. Justin makes me believe. His female admirers already kneel at the church. Plenty of other followers are bound to fall in line because even the most iron hearted Scrooge couldn't turn away from the loving spirit gently creeping up from the floorboards. Bonus commendation for identifying the dancers in the video. They probably won't ever command Prince Justin's salary but acknowledgement for a job well done never goes out of style. Why would you want to stop this feeling? It's an industrial strength lethargy blaster.
