Pros: Some great, danceable songs and Justin's very-MJ reminiscent voice. Cons: Justin wears his influences on his sleeve a little too proudly at times.
No question, Justin Timberlake is one talented young man. Previously best known as either 1/5 of *NSYNC or as Britney's boy-toy, Justin makes a case for himself as a credible singer/songwriter on his debut CD, "Justified". The end result is successful,...
Pros: Has a bit of young MJ in him. Cons: He tries to fit in way too much
Justin Timberlake's rookie solo album doesn't have much of a chance for critical success, but commercially it will probably be a bonanza. The album is a look at NSync's main player without the rest of the group. While he tries to fit in to the R&B...
Pros: This is a great Michael Jackson cd! Cons: No Wade Robson - but hey, let's ask Britney about that one!
Preamble
So here we are. It's Fall and Justin has released his solo effort, Justified. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it the same as something that NSYNC would put out? I'm here to answer all of your questions :).
Pros: His Voice, Cry Me A River, Take It From Here Cons: The Neptunes
Justified was probably one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2002. Whether you couldn’t wait to hate on it or whether you were an NSYNC fan doing your duties – the album had a major buzz long before its release date. Fresh off...
Pros: Great voice and some great songs Cons: He squeals like Michael Jackson on every song
Blah. I was a teenybopper, and I’m not afraid to admit it. Even though I’ve grown up a little bit over the last few years I still can’t let go of all teenybopper acts. *NSYNC was one of those bands which I felt hadn’t commercialized...
Pros: Great productions, great vocals, decent songs Cons: By the numbers and he will need more depth to sustain a career
Very rarely in history has a boy band member struck gold on a solo venture. I mean a few have had hit singles and moments in the sun but overall their post boy band activity would register a possible three on the pop richter scale. I can only think of ...
Pros: Catchy jams; Neptunes and Timbaland. Cons: Men with high voices scare me; too much Neptunes and Timbaland.
The Main Idea I was never majorly into the whole boy band thing, but I still found 'N Sync to be the most bearable group in this genre. I've also never been majorly into Justin Timberlake, but, when his first solo album came out, I was ...
Pros: production. Cry Me A River and Nothin' Else Cons: the lyrics, lame hooks and melodies...the overall TONE
There are 2 very distinct ways you can look at Justin Timberlake's debut album, Justified. You can revel in the lean, slick sound and be carried away by it genuine listenability. Or you can listen closely and recognize that there is not an...
Pros: Generally great production, some great pop melodies Cons: Some songs without hooks, generally weak slow tunes
Allow me to go PoP for a moment.
Yes, that's right, I actually own Justin Timberlake's debut album Justified. What can I say, my wife and I have a weakness for catchy pop hooks and cute boy-band style antics, especially when the...
Pros: "Never Again", "Rock Your Body", his voice and sexuality (yum) Cons: Some filler/boring tracks, The Neptunes
Back when NSYNC was the biggest thing in the world, I was in love with JC Chasez. I never really understood what was so great about front man Justin Timberlake. I mean, JC had more creative input on No Strings Attached (their...
If you’re (un)lucky enough to be conversant on the teen-pop boom of the late 1990s, it’s highly likely you’ll be very familiar with Justin Timberlake: former Mouseketeer, ex boyfriend of Britney Spears, and front-man of one of America’s ...
Pros: Some catchy songs to dance to. Cons: This was the break up CD to Britney
Okay, I admit it! I like pop. I get made fun of for it, but isn't it about what I like, not about what other people think I should like? My husband hates it, but thats okay. He loves me enough to have actually bought this CD for me. He was ordering CD's ...
Pros: His stunning voice, excellent production, mature album, 11 tracks that are note-worthy. Cons:Nothin' Else and Right For Me.
NSYNC-one of the most famous pop bands who made the girls swoon had 5 members. Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and finally Lance Bass. Together, they made a huge impact on the pop genre of music. They've ...
Pros: He delivers a sample of something worth staying tuned to for another album. Cons: The Neptunes and Timbaland need a vacation.
Okay, so, my plan was to review “Justified” when I found a solid ground to stand on in regards to whether I actually like it or not. After two straight weeks of it being in my own little personal music rotation, I realized there is no solid...
Pros: Some great songs, the singles, Timberlake's talent, The Neptunes... Cons: ...poorly written lyrics, useless guest spots, some bad production.
As you might've discovered from some of my earlier reviews, I used to be a big Nsync fan. Naturally, when Justin Timberlake released his solo debut Justified in 2002, I was first in line to snag a copy. It's easy to say that Timberlake was ...
Pros: Justin's voice, good production Cons: Three weaker 'Pity' songs-I HATE those! And NO variety.
I know there’s VERY mixed feelings about Mr. Timberlakes 'RnB' change in the last year, but I have gotten on the latter party wagon of 'It's better than what he was producing before'. But it has to be said, no matter what Justin says ...
Pros: He left Britney! Wrote a song about it, like to hear it? Here it go! Cons: Rock Your Body
Justin Timberlake is definitely a man now. An artist in his own right and creator of his own caliber, he took a break from Nsync and etched in a groove so deep it can be occupied by none other than Mr. J. T. himself. Now I’m not saying that Justin ...
Pros: Great beats, amazing expression of feelings!! Cons: Timberland beats, and "Right For Me"
Who ever thought a singer in a popular boy band would ever be as successful solo as Justin Timberlake has become? When I first heard he was going solo I was ready for a big one hit wonder flop. It’s nice to actually have someone go off and ...
Pros: The songs that are good are great; Nothin' Else and Never Again. Cons:See the review.
If any of you remember, awhile back I wrote an especially enthusiastic review of Justin's single Like I Love You. As you can imagine, my enthusiasm has subsided quite a bit. Since then, the single has been everywhere. After so long,...
Pros:"Never Again" is stop and take notice stunning. Cons: Proof that imitation is never a proper substitute for the real thing!
Preamble: I hate to start a review negatively, but I have to clarify one thing in particular before I go any further, and that is if you couldn't tell from my title for this review: I. Do. Not. Like. Justin. Timberlake. Personally, ...
Pros: instrumentals are SICK; every last one of them Cons: Justin adds little to his own project
If you're an N Sync fan, let me let you know exactly where I'm coming from. I never really cared for any of their music (with the exception of "Gone" which was brilliant). But I approached this CD as objectively as I could. Actually, I had somewhat...
Pros: He wrote most of the material on the album. Great voice Cons: Sounds like a MJ album to me
Justin Timberlake- or Michael Jackson?
Your guess is as good as mine. After seeing his performance on the MTV Music Awards and listening to his new album, Justified, I will admit that this kid has talent. But originality... No....
Pros: production, justin puts his heart out on some tracks....great uptempo songs and some good ballads... Cons: a few fillers...not enough ballads...
On his first solo album Justin says he wants to define himself on this record....does he succeed in doing this?...he does, quite well, with JUSTIFIED....the future is bright for this guy.... SENORITA 4/5 Great uptempo song to start the album..the ...
Pros: surprisingly very consistent Cons: the non-Timbaland tracks lag badly
Justin Timberlake’s career moves are well documented: Mickey Mouse club member. Lead singer for N’Sync. Brittney Spear’s one time love. Three facts that will be with him always no matter how the rest of his adulthood progresses. Of course, he ...
Pros: Creative infusion of hip-hop, R&B, neo-soul & Latin into a pop record. Cons: I think JT overdosed a bit on the MJ pills.
I have been waiting for this release for quite a while. I'm absolutely fascinated by Justin's voice. I think that this is one young performer that has the PURE talent to become to become the next revolutionary entertainer in pop music.
Pros: senorita....and..that's it! Cons: everything barring the only pro
I was similar to all the other people caught up in the "trousersnake" mania. The previously curly-haired, talented geek of boyband N'Sync had now gone solo. And sexy. The first few singles were catchy and listenable enough to make me part with my money ...
Pros: Funky beats. Cons: Repetitive lyrics that tend to blend together.
Well, at least Justin's trying to do something a little bit different. On his first solo CD "Justified", Timberlake changes from the pop sound known so well from his N'Sync days to something that's a little edgier, a little more R&B. Do we buy him as a...
Pros: Justin's vocal ability, nearly every song is worth listening to. Cons: Like everyone else said, just a bit too much MJ influence, but who cares?
Let me start out by saying that even though I am an avid R&B/hip hop listener, I've always liked Justin Timberlake and some of the works of Nsync. When I heard Justin was going to release his solo album, my countdown clock began. I couldn't wait to hear...
Pros: Some very good RnB tracks. Cons: Still a bit "pop-ish" for me.
I got this album a while ago and I was a bit surprised when I first heard it. I've never been into pop music, let along N*Sync, so when I first saw it been promoted, I doubted that I would actually like any of his songs. But I thought I would give a try...
Pros: Lots of big tunes Cons: Slower tracks are weaker
“Justified” came out in 2002, and was the debut solo album from former *NSync member, Justin Timberlake. This album was the making of a star in the R&B world as he ditched his Pop past in order to pursuit a solo career which allows him to ...
Pros: Great cd! Great cd! Cons: None that I can think of
Well, I don't like boy or girl bands(I think they are worn out). So, I was a little hesitant about buying this cd. But let me tell you, this has to be one of the best cd's I've purchased in the last couple of months. JUSTIFIED may represent Justin...
Pros: One of the top male R&B albums to be released this year thus far. Cons: Lots of collaborators, makes one wonder is this truly Justin's own unique sound
With the help of The Neptunes (who's fingerprints are all over no less than 6 songs on the album), Timbaland, and Brian McKnight, Justin Timberlake has put together a solo album that's worth every penny. It takes the listener through a broad spectrum of...
Pros: beat, feeling, love, energy, just Justin Cons: TOO Micheal Jackson at times
Most people would think that the CD is either too *NSYNC or too Micheal. Yet, when you get down to the root and the heart of the CD you see the "Justin" in the whole CD. He is known for having Michael as his role model. He is also known for wanting to...
Pros: Some catchy songs Cons: Too much like MJ. J Timberlake needs his own style.
I do agree that there are some catchy songs on this CD. Like I love you is a tune that keeps you going while senorita bores you. Cry me a river is probably the only other song worth praising.
Other than the two praiseworthy songs - this CD wasn't...
Pros: it is more soul inspired Cons: the track w./ Angie Stone never made the albulm
Everyone will say, oh he is trying too much (and succeeding) at trying to sound like Michael Jackson. Well, if that is the worst thing you can say about the albulm, than that is pretty weak. Sounding like Mike is something only truly talented people...
Pros: The Producers, Justin's Vocals Cons: Could have taken it easy on the falsetto
Not only am I going to review this album, but Justin's solo career itself.
Ok listen, his album is undoubtedly one of the best I've heard in the past year or so. Justin Timberlake has talent which is un-deniable. But rather than apply it to...
Pros: The album showcases Justins talent as a solo artist. Cons: Justin may be trying a little to hard to get away from the nysnc image.
The Justin Cd contains alot of urban beats and alot of edgy lyrics.Justin has worked with alot of urban producers to create a new sound for himself.The lyrics range from break up ballads, to anthems about being in love. Several of the ballads showcase...
Pros: Justin shows that he is just as talented solo as he is in a group. Cons: Few...

5.Cry Me a River
6.Rock Your Body
7.Nothin' Else
8.Last Night
9.Still On My Brain
10.(And She Said) Take Me Now...
Pros: None Cons: Boring, direct Michael Jackson rip.
First of all, Justin Timberlake's first solo cd is a little different than N'Sync. Instead, he has made a cd that sounds like a poor imitation of Michael Jackson. Timberlake plays no instruments on the album, writes none of the songs. It seems the...
Pros: NONE Cons: Justin Timberlake trying to be Micheal Jackson, fake sounds, un-original sound
I work in a music store, and I have heard this CD many times. I must say that people who know very little about music seem to be buying this cd, and that's about it.
Justin doesn't write his own songs, or play any instruments, yet I hear...
JT's Gonna Rock Your Body! by mayer_magic ,Jan 16 '04
Pros: Perfect mix of pop, hip-hip, and r&b! Cons: Too few ballads/mid-tempo songs to showcase his voice.
Justin Timberlake's debut solo album is an incredible mix of Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, and Soul. It's the perfect mix of songs with amazing beats to make you feel like you dancing and gorgeous ballads to showcase that beautiful voice of his. Justin teamed up with a lot of artists to produce this record, such as Pharrell, The Clipse, Brian McKnight, Bubba Sparxx, and Janet Jackson. *NSYNC fans should like this release as well as other music fans who were not familiar with his music with the group. he still retains the energy and beats of *NSYNC ... just with a bit more of a Hip-Hop edge to them.
Justin Timberlake steals the show! by priestboy1 ,Jan 18 '05
Pros: Talent, style, enjoyment Cons: NONE!
Whether or not you were ever a fan of NSYNC, you're going to love this CD. Justin has totally freed himself of his boyband days and has put out an album that just kicks butt!! He goes the "gamut" from pop to rock to hip-hop to gospel influences! This CD brings out so many emotions you just don't know where to begin or end. Mr. Timberlake is one of the most talented musicians in the industry today. Buy this CD NOW!!
