He writes, "To his credit, Timberlake focused on the music, saving most of his 'sexy' dance moves, cribbed from Bad era Michael Jackson and the 'Poppin' and Lockin' 101' handbook for the latter part of the show. His serviceable falsetto got lost in the mix at times, but with the entire crowd singing along to 'Senorita', 'Cry Me A River' and a downright funky 'Rock Your Body', no one seemed to mind. Sixty-five minutes later -- after a set that consisted of six songs, a musical band intro that allowed the members to show off and no encore -- Timberlake's stop in Cleveland was over.
