16. I've gotta admit, JT's new cd is really good. He isn't afraid to try new things and new sounds and he is working with some of the best producers out there. All the songs DO NOT sound the same.....the whole cd flows. LOVE IT. Cut him and Cam some slack....it's got to be hard to have cameras on you all the time. It isn't like they signed up for some reality show.

As for Jessica and Beyonce, they both released sub-par cd's. Beyonce can do a lot better, I'm sure. Jessica just sucks. Can't sing, can't dance, can't hold the publics' attention with her ditsy act......so, I'm not surprised her album sells reflect that. Hope her movie does well, or her 15 minutes may be up.

17. Poster #16, nobody is selling 1.6 million in a week anymore. The tracks from the album are leaked before it's released and music is downloaded from the internet illegally everyday. The music industry as a whole is suffering from the technology. People aren't even buying whole albums anymore, and despite that, Justin's second lp has topped his first album in sales, so yes it's worth celebrating!

Poster #17, you must educate yourself about the culture of music and historical comparisions. Michael Jackson borrowed from the artists that came before him. Critics compared Michael to James Brown and Jackie Wilson. Prince was often compared to Jimi Hendrix and Little Richard.
There's nothing wrong with the comparisions to those superstars, that's actually the best complement an artist can receive.

Just the fact that Justin is being compared to this caliber of r&b artists is a compliment to him as a vocalist and performer. He has really come a long way and is carving his own niche in the industry.

18. "If his new solo album is supposed to be so successful, having sold 684,000 in its first week, then tell me, isn't this still a major decline from the days when N' Synch sold over 1.6 million in a week???"

No, that is average these days for almost any project. You forget that our economy is in the shitter. Things were a fuck of a lot different back in 2000, but you're probably 14 or something so you don't remember, that would explain your awful typing skills. It seems only retards comment on this site.

19. Like him or not, his CD is AWESOME. I cant stop listening to it.

20. Like #22 said, this is an awsome CD. I am really enjoying this CD. As of Jessica Simpsons CD falling some 41%, this CD Sucks. My nieces bought it and took it back for a refund. Her new movie is going to suck also. When I was at the movies the other night a preview for her movie came on and people were moaning and throwing things at the screen. I'm sure her dad will pimp her out to do porn next.

21. what kind of name is that for an album with a fan base around the age of 13?

22. It will take one more CD before JT realizes he's a has-been, just like Jessica and Beyonce are, since they no longer can sing. They may be making a lot of money, but I don't think they're making it through their music, which was got them to stardom. Before you know it, they'll all be the next batch of the Surreal Life members and making money off apperances like Paris Hilton. Good Luck guys!

23. 25: his fanbase has grown up now. If you really want to get preachy go look at Paris Hilton, how many 14 year olds have her listed under "who I would like to meet" on myspace? Sex isn't a bad thing, but being a fucking whore is. Give it some thought, grow up a little.

24. And Rick Rubin is GOD so JT made good producer choices for sure.

Metallica ditched Bob "let me write your songs" Rock - For Rick Rubin on their next album also.

Rick Rubin & Russell Simmons made the recording industry what it is today.

26. 26: You spell death way too soon. Give it time. I knew Nick and Jess were heading for a divorce in late 2005, nobody would listen though. Anyway, Justin and Beyonce's talent taps haven't dried up yet, but Jessica Simpson on the other hand... Remember when that bitch used to sing? Now she just throws some half assed breathy vocals down on a track because they think it makes her sound "sexy" and "seductive" and as her own label said "people should be able to sing along with your songs." So, in the name of whoredom she released In This Skin which didn't sell for shit. Then she re-released it with a media whoring campaign and as a tie in to her shitty scripted reality show and it sold. The American public ate the shit right out of her hand. Then came Dukes of Hazard and she was this "sex symbol" and all this bullshit and now she talks with a fake southern accent that's painful to listen to (she pissed me right the fuck off at the VMAs)

There's only one way for Jessica Simpson to go.

29. Forget all the bogus hype and the staged brawl between Justin Timberlake,
Cameron Diaz and a photographer, an effort to generate more false buzz for Timberfake's horrible new album...no doubt. And trust me, no matter what these record company plants are writing in to say about this CD where positives are concerned, the whole project is trash!!! Let me tell you something...if his new solo album is supposed to be so successful, having sold 684,000 in its first week, then tell me, isn't this still a major decline from the days when N' Synch sold over 1.6 million in a week???

30. Don't believe the hype...I see alot of people are in a frenzy over the record company generated hype here regarding Justin Timberlake's album. Now, although I haven't heard Jessica Simpson's album, which I am sure is a mess,
judging from the first single, I can not believe that it could be any worse than Justin Timberlake's album or Beyonce's new album...I've heard both Justin's and Beyonce's album online and they are terrible...That's the reason that Beyonce's album has fallen off by 70% and why I am sure Justin's album will drop at least by half next week. They are not very good albums and thus word of mouth is going spread about how horrible they are like a damn fire storm, despite the false kudos they are buying. This ain't the old days when you could buy an album like Prince's "1999"...or Michael Jackson's "Thriller", where every song, or most every song, could be a released as a single with the prospect of becoming a monster hit!!! Justin's album will not be around a year from now...and quite frankly, it'll be lucky to still be in the top 10 by Thanksgiving or the top 15 by Christmas. It's that terrible. Now only the hype will keep this turkey of an album on the charts over the next month or so. That said, you can expect more staged fights with photographers by Justin Timberfake and Cameron Diaz....and more false claims that the photogs tried to run her, or them, over with his car...and of course, the resulting show trials...the staged arrests and perp walks. But after Timberfake's album dies on the charts in another few months, we'll never hear about Cameron Diaz playing chicken with that photographer's car ever again. In the end, regardless of the truth, all of this seems rather shallow when you think about all of the people in the world who are being systematically killed in wars, famines, and by the world wide pandemic of AIDs, etc.,...Justin Timberfake and Cameron Diaz should be ashamed of themselves in respect to fighting with photographers in the streets in hopes of garnering millions of dollars worth of false publicity using cheap tactics and other obvious phony stunts to create controversy in order to push Justin's sorry album!!! Strictly pathetic!!!
