Have you heard the album? I mean, Justin Timberlake is a pro singer (and dancer), so it's not unthinkable that he could make a good record. Look at Michael jackson's OFF THE WALL. Totally a masterpiece of its kind. Why not Justin. That said, I'm not gonna buy it sight uunseen. sh

You see this in last weekend's NYT? "Justin Timberlake proved himself with a series of sublime R & B songs" -- it was in Kelefa Sanneh's review of the "underrated" JC Chasez's debut. He also begins a different review with the phrase "this promising emo band from Long Island ..." which pretty much guaranteed that I would read no further (perhaps one needs to be a Longislander to agree).
On the other hand, he says nice things about Kelis (and her ditty "Milkshake," which has become unshakable from my noggin), so Mr. Sanneh hasn't gone off his rocker completely.
