Justin Timberlake And Michael Jackson - Love Never Felt So Good

The Hollywood Reporter reviews the clip:
The music video for the Michael Jackson posthumous duet with Justin Timberlake debuted on Wednesday morning, and it's a careful visual tribute of the late pop singer's lasting legacy on future generations. "Love Never Felt So Good" -- the first single off of Xscape -- features archival footage of Jackson's many music videos, including "Beat It," "Bad," "Black or White," "You Rock My World" and more (there's even a quick shot of the singer as a child in the Jackson 5). The cuts are very careful when it comes to the two singers: Clips of Jackson doing a relatively small move (a pose or a hand movement, as opposed to a gravity-defying lean or the moonwalk) are quickly mirrored by Timberlake, but only in silhouette. Throughout the four-minute-plus video, Timberlake himself never tries out Jackson's steps -- a respectful decision that highlights the tribute approach to the video and possibly the entire album.
I was ready to hate this but I do not.
