Justin Timberlake

While a rough Super Bowl appearance and the questionable roll-out of his latest album weren't great looks for J.T., the pop superstar's swagger and charisma have gotten him through worse scrapes. For better or for worse, Man of the Woods is more of what Timberlake does best, combining taut pop production with nods to funk, electronica and country. The merch stand will probably look like a Pendleton catalog and you'll probably be subjected to that camo-deer suit jacket again, but that's price you'll have to pay to hear "SexyBack" live.
