Answers (about Justin's video shoot)! Finally!!

[rosebee]

from the first paragraph of this article at mtv.com
While on a break from the Justified and Stripped Tour, Justin Timberlake shot a video in New York for his new song "I'm Lovin' It." He had planned to release the Neptunes-produced track on his next album, but since it's already leaked to radio and the Internet, he's going to release it this fall. The singer's spokesperson said it is not yet known, however, where the song will ultimately surface. ...

Looks like Justin & Jive decided they liked the song, and because radio was playing and liking the song that a video should be shot for the song so it could be released on something somewhere as a single.

You know? Even after hearing it from an official source, I find it *really* odd that they'd spend all the time & money to shoot a video for a song that doesn't yet have an album to call 'home'.

1 mystery solved, 1 to go.

See, that's weird, because I read somewhere that it wasn't a video he was shooting but a commercial.

Jesus! Could this whole thing get any more confusing?

Have you seen the video shoot picture that has the clapboard where you can read the title of the shoot? It reads "J Timberlake - I'm Lovin' It"... if it were a commercial - like for McDonald's, wouldn't it have some sort of reference/ownership by Mcdonald's?

Man this whole thing has me so damn confused, it's not even funny!

I don't know. I read in one of the articles about the postponed tour that he was in NY filming a commercial for McDonalds for their new "I'm Lovin It" campaign.

Well... maybe Justin's spokesperson is confused... or maybe the video's being shot for another one of those "available for sale only at McDonald's" things like *nsync & Britney did a couple of years ago.

I'm about ready to give up trying to figure this out. Though, I'd still like to get my hands on a good quality mp3 of this song. I have a bad quality version, and so far, I'm really not liking the song much.
