Why JT Rocks! :: essays research papers

Ill say straight up that Im not nor ever was an Nsync fan. The 80s are over and so is the mandate for me to listen to and love daddy..I like a bit more substance to my music. But even still, some albums or telephone calls are so catchy, with great beats that even as pop or r&b records they even out you run out to the cut in and purchase them. I thought this was the case w/ Timberlake, as the maiden single from his Justified had me boppin my head and tapping my toes. No doubt about it, Justin has brain and can sing, so I figured with this new album he would let the whole world know who he is.

Justin is never really able to make a song his own, and that is a key thing with great artists. Even if they dont save or produce a song, great artists have the readiness to make it their own, to make it impossible for anyone else sing the song in with quite the said(prenominal) impact- this is not the case with Justin. He does an admirable job with each song, and as I said, the boy can sing...but b/c of his lack of ability to make each song his own, the album sounds a bit schizophrenic or rather like a long impersonation Justin performs Timbaland Justin performs Neptunes etc. Production should never overwhelm a song, but complement the artists style seamlessly(see Aaliyahs Aaliyah album). Maybe next album, Justin will have more of an identity to use up to the mic.And speaking of a lack of identity, that is my next gripe with the album...Justin try ing government agency too hard to be Micheal Jackson. Now to you younger kids out at that place who cant recall the late 70s and mid to early 80s, this may seem like a new sound. But, all you
