Fri Feb 28 00:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Timberlake’s St. Paul Concert Leaves Fans Divided Amidst Tour Troubles
**St. Paul, MN** – Justin Timberlake’s “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” stop in St. Paul on Monday night proved divisive, with many fans expressing disappointment over a setlist heavily weighted towards his less-popular new album, *Everything I Thought It Was*. While some praised Timberlake’s performance, others criticized the lack of classic hits, leading to audience disengagement during several songs.
The *Minnesota Star Tribune* reported that Timberlake performed as many as 11 tracks from the new album, resulting in awkward silences when the singer attempted to encourage singalongs. Further fueling negative feedback, a signature stage prop was absent, and Timberlake’s extended time on a secondary stage at the back of the arena left some front-row attendees feeling shortchanged.
Despite the negative reviews, some fans on X (formerly Twitter) defended Timberlake’s performance, attributing the criticism to “haters” grasping at straws.
This latest concert setback adds to a tumultuous period for the singer. Timberlake recently pleaded guilty to a DWI charge following an arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, where bodycam footage revealed his apparent concern that the incident would derail his tour. The arrest followed allegations in Britney Spears’ memoir about their past relationship, further damaging his public image.
Despite these controversies and mixed concert reviews, Timberlake is pressing ahead with his international tour, with dates scheduled across several countries before concluding in June 2025. The St. Paul concert, originally slated for Halloween 2023, was postponed due to Timberlake’s illness.
