Justin Timberlake got decked out in his finest when he took the stage last night for DIRECTV Super Saturday Night in New Orleans!

He performed his song “Suit & Tie” live for the first time and yeah, we'll say that he's been missed!

Justin also debuted a few new tracks! Clips after the jump!

So, the Last Day of the World turned out to be just another excuse to drink with friends (not that we ever need an excuse.)

Should the Mayan Prophecy have held true, however, alien schoolchildren studying humanity’s final year would’ve learned the correct pronunciation of Ke$ha, how to have a proper kiki and other lessons thanks to a time capsule packed with the greatest pop-culture benchmarks of 2012 that we left in the office fridge next to a year-old carton of Coconut Water.

If the world had actually ended a few days ago, which pop songs would we have heartily co-signed as the absolute greatest in the history of histories ever in all of time combined for eternity in 2012? The Instinct editorial team (Editor In Chief Mike...

Four hundred and some Mind Erasers since Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" penetrated the pop culture radar in late 2011 and we finally have the tune out of our heads, freeing up some real estate for "Good Time." Check out the brand-spank-us-new video for Carly's feel-good follow up to her debut hit (with help from Owl City) after the jump!

When we first heard through the gayvine that someone out there mashed-up summer's two most infectious songs, we begged that pair of hands in the still above to obey the good penmanship and not. push. the. damn. button. 

But our tantrum didn't work and, too our surprise, this inevitable mash-up of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" actually doesn't make our brains explode. Almost counterintuitively, the crafty reworking is like hearing the infectious songs for the first time. Still, a hazmat suit might be required to follow the jump for the explosion of viral goodiness. 

International reggae star Beenie Man is attempting to atone after years of singing about violence against gay people. In a new video message, the contemporary of Buju Banton begs for forgiveness by the LGBT for songs that include lyrics such as "take a bazooka and kill gay men." 

So, what does Beenie have to say for himself?  

Well, it sounds like somebody changed their tune.

Whether he simply had a change of heart or he received death threats from Gleeks and UnaBomers, Gotye has backtracked from his harsh critique of Glee’s cover of his smash hit, “Somebody That I Used To Know.”

Check out his new stance after the jump!

It's a big Gay Day (copyright Disney!) for music videos what with the Madonna madness and now the premiere of the music video for Adam Lambert's subdued electronic love song, "Better Than I Know Myself." Grab the Kleenex, follow the jump and watch Adam explore his dualities as he professes his heart to his boyfriend, Sauli Koskinen. 

With momentum from her latest album Stronger still sending gays into fits of hysteria, the timing for Kelly Clarkson to tackle the Christmas classic playbook couldn't be better. Follow the jump to hear Kelly's powerhouse take on "I'll Be Home For Christmas."

What does our Aussie goddess have in store? After the jump, find out what she's been working on at Abbey Road for 2012!

There are lots of things we'd like to forget about the 90s (our platinum blond bowl cut comes to Mary mind), but these songs might be at the top of the lisp. Rolling Stone readers have done the dirty work of pillaging the radio's worst from the decade to arrive at these songs...

The once reliant-on-covering-previous-chart-toppers motley crew of high schoolers are now a motely crew of veritable, original artists. Which of the original songs do you think took the top spots?

Last night our beloved Glee took a big risk... in more ways than one. Spoiler alert! Only open the post if you're ready to dish on the twists and turns of last night's "Original Songs" episode. Now get to it, there's much to discuss!
