REVIEW Justin Timberlake invites you to a private Netflix concert By DIEGO CAGARA

Singer. . Dancer. Fashion icon. Musician. Tolerable actor. Past teen heartthrob. Former boy band member. Ex-Musketeer. Husband. Father. Justin Timberlake perhaps has ticked all of the boxes throughout the years and yet he is only 35. His concert documentary, “Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids,” which premiered exclusively on Netflix on Oct. 12, never once ceased to showcase his youthfulness and showmanship. Under the artful direction of Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme, the film captures the last two dates of “The 20/20 Experience World Tour” at the MGM Grand Garden Arena at Las Vegas. It is a golden opportunity for Timberlake fans, and the occasional curious viewer, who were not able to make it for any of the concert dates as it successfully brings all facets of his concerts—screaming fans, loud music, harmonious background vocals, his charismatic dancing abilities and his own voice—right to the small screen. As its title suggests, while Timberlake is the master of the stage, his accompanying band, the Tennessee Kids, also helped liven up the dark stage amid iridescent lasers, lifelike spotlights and dizzying visuals. Their inclusion augments the overall concert so that there is a level of variety of vocals onstage to feed the insatiable crowd. It’s no secret that part of Timberlake’s overall image is his own physical attractiveness, his gentlemanly swagger and his sophisticated wardrobe, making him one of the ultimate modern, metrosexual men in the entertainment industry today. As the film begins, Source: Shelby Casanova / Flickr Demme has his camera introduce Timberlake as he Timberlake, above, performs at a different concert in the same era of “The 20/20 Experience World Tour.“ alights a lavish, black Cadillac, arriving at the venue in casual attire, styled with sunglasses, a hat and a duffel before him.

A group who has grown in popularity over the years, they played well and got the crowd excited. In both sets, both bands mixed and performed parts of a song together. Switchfoot, who hail from San Diego, California, released their first album in 1997 and have released ten since. Although they were originally labeled under the Christian Rock genre, in 2003 they broke into more mainstream genres with the release of , their first major label debut album. Two of their most mainstream hits, “” and “,” were released on that album. Since 1997 they have released an album about every 2 years on the average. Over the years they have had many hits including, “Gone,” “On Fire,” “Stars,” “Awakening,” “,” and “.” A large part of Switchfoot’s popularity came from the movie , in which four of their songs were featured. They have also been the recipient of many awards, the most notable of which was a Grammy Award for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album in 2011. They have also received eleven GMA Dove Awards and twelve San Diego Music Awards. As a whole, Switchfoot is a band that has been producing music for almost twenty years strong. Good music, strong showmanship, and amazing tours have provided them with a loyal fan base. I can that they continue to make music as Lee McPeters / Albany Student Press long as they can. Switchfoot put on an energetic, intimate show in Clifton Park last week.

By LAUREN NAVRATIL

The University at Albany Women’s soccer team is is on a five-game winning streak after a 2-1 win over the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Thursday night and a 3-0 win over Vermont Sunday night at Tom and Mary Casey Stadium. The Great Danes took the lead against UNH in overtime, scoring the golden goal and sealing the win on the spot.The girls fought hard from the start, especially when UNH came out strong in the first half and maintained a lot of ball possession. After UNH scored the first goal towards the end of the first half, the team knew they needed to make a comeback. The Great Danes started the second half with everything needed to win a soccer game. They put a heavy amount of pressure on the defense and kept the ball circulating around UNH territory. With almost full posses- sion of the ball by the last quarter of the game, Mariah Williams put the ball in the back of the net in 68th minute, which gave them the boost of confidence they needed and the mindset that they were Aleks Nefedova / Albany Student Press still in the game.
