Last night the Philadelphia Eagles took home the trophy while Nick Foles won the MVP award. It was a great night for the Eagles, but not so good for the Patriots or Justin Timberlake who elicited mixed reviews from fellow celebs. It seems celebrities, like everyone else, can’t decide whether they enjoyed JT’s Super Bowl LII halftime show or not.

Katy Perry rode a lion.

Coldplay showed up with Bruno Mars.

People like Jimmy Fallon used excessive amounts of “s” and exclamation marks to express their excitement over Timberlake’s halftime contributions.

YESSSSS!!!! THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT!! Magic. Loved THAT! See you in a few. #PepsiHalftime #JustinTimberlake — jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) February 5, 2018

But, people like Anthony Bourdain validated their disappointment regarding Timberlake’s performance and Prince tribute with his 10-year-old daughter.

Timberlake’s Super Bowl LII halftime show had been surrounded by controversy. Mostly in part because Janet Jackson fans have yet to forgive Timberlake for “Nipplegate.”

Rethinking this entire Justin Timberlake halftime situation and realizing I just can’t forgive him for what he did to Britney and Janet Jackson. You heard me. #GaySuperBowl — Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) February 5, 2018

Jackson and Timberlake performed at the 2004 Super Bowl together. It was then that Timberlake exposed Jackson on stage. He ripped off the right breast patch from her halftime show costume.

But, was it all a publicity stunt? Are Jackson and Timberlake in on the best-kept publicity secret?

“No comment,’’ her publicist Paula Witt said in an email to USA TODAY Sports.

Y’all it is SO quiet in here. Only the fake crowd y’all see on camera cares about Justin. pic.twitter.com/V01zFCeLbE — Chaos and Disorder (@onlychyld) February 5, 2018

Whether you enjoyed the halftime show or not, there’s no denying the Super Bowl LII video below circling around on Twitter of people uninterested in Justin Timberlake’s performance.
