Justin Timberlake made his big return onstage at Sunday’s Grammys. Following his performance, he continued his comeback tour with an intimate gig at the Hollywood Palladium. The sold-out show was the hottest ticket in town, drawing celebrities including Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and his wife Jessica Biel.

Dressed in a black tuxedo, J.T. kicked off his 90-minute set with his debut single “Like I Love You,” backed by his 12-piece band “JT & the Tennessee Kids.” He played familiar hits such as “My Love” and “Rock Your Body,” and remixed “Cry Me a River” with “Bandz a Make Her Dance” and “Ni**as in Paris.”

“I just want to take the opportunity to thank all of you for coming out tonight,” he told the crowd. “I must confess, it’s been awhile. And for that, I apologize. It’s going to be a fun year. I hope to see all of your drunk faces when I come back on tour at the Staples Center.”

He showcased two new songs off his upcoming album The 20/20 Experience including “Pusher Love Girl” and “That Girl,” and covered INXS’ “What You Need.” One of the highlights was his funky take on The Jacksons’ “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground),” complete with pelvic thrusts that made the mostly-female audience swoon.

And of course, he once again brought out Jay-Z for “Suit & Tie” before closing with “SexyBack,” for which he was joined by Timbaland.

Before leaving the stage, he delivered a special message to his fans. “I love each and every one of you,” said the 32-year-old singer. “Don’t let that stupid fucking media tell you any different.”

Watch his performances of “Suit & Tie” with Jay-Z, “Cry Me a River,” and “Shake Your Body” right here.

All eyes are on Justin Timberlake and the cover for his third album The 20/20 Experience. Due March 19, the pop star’s first album in over six years features 10 tracks including the Jay-Z-assisted single “Suit & Tie,” plus production from his longtime collaborator Timbaland.

The newly-married singer explained the meaning behind the title. “It more or less came out of I was playing some of the stuff for my friends and they would come in and out of the studio and I’d say, ‘What do you think of this?’ And my best friend said, ‘This is music that you can see,’ and for some reason that stuck with me,” he told Ryan Seacrest.

He started recording the album quietly last summer. “What I came up with is something I couldn’t be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I’ve discovered along the way,” he previously told his fans in an open letter.

He plans to release a film documenting the recording process, which he previewed in the video announcing his return to music. “That little piece of footage is from a documentary that we sort of started working on throughout the making of the album, which started last June,” said Justin.

During Super Bowl weekend, he debuted two new tracks, “Pusher Love Girl” and “That Girl,” at DIRECTV’s Super Saturday Night in New Orleans. He will also perform at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards on February 10 and play a sold-out concert at the Palladium in Los Angeles later that evening.

The countdown is on to Justin Timberlake’s first album in six years, The 20/20 Experience, due March 19. While the public has only heard the Jay-Z-assisted single “Suit & Tie,” Keri Hilson got a sneak peek of what J.T. and Timbaland are cooking up in the lab.

Miss Keri, who is signed to Timbaland’s Mosley Music Group, says the dynamic duo behind “SexyBack” is about to change the sound of music once again.

“They both are capable of redefining the sound of radio, and I believe, based upon what I’ve heard, they’re gonna do that again,” she told Rap-Up TV. “So I’m proud of them and I’m excited for what’s about to happen.”

In addition to Justin, Timbaland has been working with Keri on her third album. “I’m all about blending the worlds of pop and hip-hop and R&B all in a pot,” said Keri of the follow-up to 2010’s No Boys Allowed.

Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake premiered the dashing lyric video for his comeback single “Suit & Tie.” On Friday, J.T. was back in front of the lens to shoot the real music video with Jay-Z in Redondo Beach, Calif. The dapper megastars shared a laugh while walking to their trailers in matching tuxedos. The pop prince held an umbrella for Hov, making for a funny photo opp for the paparazzi.

In addition to Jay-Z, T.I. revealed that he has worked with Justin on two or three records for his upcoming album The 20/20 Experience including one called “Goodbye Homey.”

“It’s saying goodbye to something that is very special to you,” Tip told MTV News of the Timbaland production. “Not necessarily a person; it could be a time of your life, it could be an experience, it could be a relationship, it could be a friend that’s passed on. ‘Goodbye Homey,’ it has so many meanings and definitions. So when you hear it, you absorb it, and then whatever it means to you is what we intended.”

Check out more pics of Justin and Jay on set and find out if Tip’s track makes the cut when The 20/20 Experience arrives on March 19.
