Ask Andy Samberg Blog - Did Andy and Justin sing **** in a Box live?

This question comes from an Anony...

Did Andy and Justin sing **** in a Box live?

Actually the question was more like...

any information on that?

But essentially it's the same question.

Yes, Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake performed **** in a Box live at Madison Square Garden.

Anony even did us a favor and found the best recording of that song/concert that we've seen so far:



It's probably because this recording came from Justin Timberlake's site, so they have multiple camera angles.

We've posted about this concert several times; so if you've been with us for a few years, you already know about this. But I think it's worth another watch to check out this version.

I'm not sure who's idea this was. It could have been Justin's idea, excited that their song was such a hit. He had a concert coming up (January 07), and he wanted to add it in as a special performance.

Or it could have come from one of the Lonely Island dudes. Justin usually loves TLI's ideas, so I could have seen him going for it.

There were rumors that Jorma and Chester were also up on the stage, but I didn't see them in this video.

We also can hear that Andy didn't quite have his singing voice down. He is able to produce his voice (meaning work on it in a studio until it sounds right), but he's not on key here. That said, this was also in 07, and he didn't really even try singing until 2006 (most of their songs before that were rap). So his live singing voice might be even "better" now.

Enjoy!
