Justin Timberlake :  Cry Me A River

Justin Timberlake : Cry Me A River

A waterfall of tears, some sexy Jacko yelps and the malfunctioning stutter of love in its dying moments. This twisted epic is an acidic, filthy little song teeming with spite and retribution (" Your bridges are burned/And now it's your turn to...

Justin Timberlake : Justified

Justin Timberlake : Justified

This is, culturally, a significant album. Not because of the music (we'll come to that in a minute) but because it's the first concerted attempt by a white teen artist to cross over to a black audience since George Michael. It's a sign of the...

*N Sync : Gone

*N Sync : Gone

What with Britney collaborating with the Neptunes, Five's dignified demise and this sepia-toned effort, pop's going a bit tasteful - which isn't the point, really. But then again, you have got a Backstreet Boy straight outta rehab and...

*NSYNC : Celebrity

*NSYNC : Celebrity

Despite Joey being fat, Lance boss-eyed and Chris having once sported a pineapple-shaped hairdo, *NSYNC are undoubtedly one of the best teen pop groups America has ever given us. They've overcome their considerable physical limitations in that...

*NSYNC : Pop

*NSYNC : This I Promise You

*NSYNC : This I Promise You

Things haven't been going particularly well in the UK for *NSYNC, and 'This I Promise You' really isn't going to help things much. What about 'Space Cowboy'? What about 'No Strings Attached'? There they'll remain, stuck on the album, rattling...

*NSYNC : LA Rose Bowl

*NSYNC : LA Rose Bowl

For their entrance they descend on strings, because they're '*NSYNC and that's the kind of thing they do. '*NSYNC are the band Backstreet Boys dissed in the press. They're the group whose album sold 2.4 million copies in its first week of...
