The Age, Melbourne, Tuesday November 06, 2007
"Amid an eye-popping stage setting, the US popstar ticked all the musical boxes. His exceptional dancing was not unexpected. Yet his vocal performance, as well as his competence on a range of instruments – guitar, electric piano, synth, and, to the crowd's delight, keytar - was surprising and impressive."
The Advertiser, Adelaide, Sunday November 04, 2007
"****1/2. Justin Timberlake sure knows how to put on a show."
Daily Telegraph, Sydney, Thursday November 01, 2007
"JUSTIN Timberlake confirmed his status as the world's biggest male pop star with a masterful concert, which fused old-school entertainment with a state-of-the-art extravaganza last night."
The Australian, Monday October 29, 2007
"An impeccable mix of music, dancing and staging, Timberlake's return to Australia was masterful."
ninemsn, Australia, Sunday October 28, 2007
"While lights, lasers and smoke add another dimension to the performance, it's clear Timberlake doesn't need smoke and mirrors to shine. Some of the more powerful moments of the show involved the star behind his piano delivering the hits the audience know and love. His stage presence is commanding and self assured, yet not arrogant — the star at one point thanking the audience for letting him have such a cool job."
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE PRESENTS AUD$100,000
TO AUSTRALIA ZOO WILDLIFE WARRIORS
Tonight (Saturday, October 27, 2007), in Brisbane, at the first concert of his Australian FutureSex/LoveShow Tour, Justin Timberlake presented a check for AUD$100,000 to Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide. Accepting the check was Wes Mannion, Chief of Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide and close friend to Steve and Terri Irwin.
Justin told the sold out crowd of more than 13,000 strong Brisbane audience that they, and the other audiences attending his Australian and New Zealand shows, had each helped to contribute, with 50 cents from every ticket sold being donated to the charity.
Justin said, “The last time I was in Australia I had the pleasure and honour of visiting Australia Zoo. I was taken around on a private tour by none other than Steve, Terri, Bindi and Bob."
Justin referenced the respect he had for Steve Irwin and the work of the Wildlife Warriors and his personal desire to help educate people around the world about the importance of the cause.
Justin Timberlake has also donated for auction a number of Gold Tickets, VIP Backstage Tours and some exclusive meet and greet opportunities. All proceeds will go direct to Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors. To bid visit www.australiazoo.com for details.
Wildlife Warriors Worldwide Ltd was established in 2002, initially by Steve and Terri Irwin, as a way to include and involve other caring people to support the protection of injured, threatened or endangered wildlife – from the individual animal to an entire species.
