Song : filling in the blanks : Mirrors (Justin Toimberlake - radio version)

This is an amazing Justin Timberlake song.
I use the radio version because it's shorter and simpler for them. I also use the radio version video, because some scenes from the original are not appropriate for the classroom environment.
