Hey y'all! According to my notes, I was supposed to have this up May 5. Oh well, a month late, no big deal. So, anywayz, here we go!


Bye Bye Bye

Just another player in your game for two.

Even if you are sick of it by now, you have to admit that this is the song that really propelled NSYNC towards superstardom. I remember when I first heard about it...the lights had gone out at school, and...never mind. Everybody keeps on saying how it was played out, but I never notice things like that. You could play a song every hour on the hour, and I probably wouldn't think anything of it...But anywayz, I like it. Not love, but like. The vid is cool. Lots of fun to shout to da boys. (More on that later) However, it bothers me to no end that they always end their concerts with this song. #1, that is so corny. #2, this is a mean song about kicking their girlfriends to the curb. Is that the respect you show for your fans? They shell out $75 for a ticket, and your lil goodbye to them is more or less calling them brats? Bums.

It's Gonna Be Me

I remember you told may, that it made you believe in no man, no cry, maybe that's why...

It's gonna be May! I swear. Brit Brit wrote this song, but they weren't sure if it was going to be a hit or not, and they didn't want Miss Spears's precious name marred by a flop! Fine, maybe she didn't, but she did give Juju some vocal "tips." Doesn't matter, I like it. I like them aggressive. Very sweet.

Space Cowboys

Cause paranoia ain't the way to live your life from day to day

Yippy yi yay yo!!! It took me a while, but I do like this song. The actual music sounds like Jayce was on crack when he wrote it, but the lyrics (with the why-yi-yi-yippy-yi-yay the exception) are surprisingly intelligent. Intellectual. Almost all-knowing. Oh, and that outer space being like the wild wild west? Still don't get it, but hey, maybe the voices in JC's head could explain it to me sometime...

Just Got Paid

And you'll notice my smile's like Kool-Aid, cuz I just. got. paid.

OMG, I love this song! It's so hyper and cheesy! And Lance totally owns the chorus. (Booties shakin, all around...)The raps were hilarious, as was my mental picture of Juju and his "posse," aka Chris, Joey, Justin, and Lance. Oh, and the say ho, ho, say ho ho, ho ho, etc.? Perfect! Makes me smile every time! Oh, and who else caught JC's "gonna have me a fuckin good time?" at the end?
Grade:9.5

It Makes Me Ill

Cause you know that I truly do adore ya

You know why I like this song? Cuz I can sing along and not really have to worry about my terrible singing voice. You know why I don't like this song? Cuz the guys obviously don't think I'm capable of deciding for myself what kind of guy I want to go out with. And when was the last time you heard a guy say that he felt ill? That wasn't gay. Or British. I rest my case.

This I Promise You

I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before, and I promise you never will you hurt anymore. I give you my word, I give you my heart, this is a battle we've won, and with this vow, forever has now begun

Words cannot express what I feel for this song. I love it. It will definitely be played at my wedding/reception. I don't care what my husband says. It shall be played. It's gorgeous, it showcases the guy's amazing voices, so, yes, god bless Richard Marx. I luv ya!
Grade:12 (hey, its my review. I can do what I want!)

No Strings Attached

If you take a chance with me, I'll be everything you need, cuz it's our destiny

My fave of the JC penned songs. Aggressive again, but a bit more...caring than IGBM. My absolute favorite part is near the end, when they do the mixing of the chorus and the destiny line. Very cool.
Grade:10

Digital Getdown

So get down babe, and I'll get down for you...

Whoever says this song is about a chat party needs to get a reality check. This is a sex song if I've ever heard one. Sex sex sex. ha! There goes the notion of boy bands being as pure as snow. Anyway, I like it. Go me. Go Jayce. He obviously knows had to have fun while on tour...
Grade:9

Bringin' da Noise

Cuz it's your world, all you want and more

Party song! Yay! Now, I know it says JC wrote it, but really, who do you think came up with the title? This is the worst song to work out to. You know, "I'll stop as soonas track 9 is done) and the chorus just goes on and on forever and ever, like it's never gonna end...
Grade:8

That's When I'll Stop Loving You

And when this world doesn't turn anymore,when the stars all decide to stop shining,til then I'm gonna to be by your side,gonna be loving you forever,every day of my life

There are a lot of people out there who hate this song, but, being the mad sap that I am, I love it. Love love love. I am well aware that the entire song is just cliche after cliche, but i like cliches! If my boyfriend said any of the lines in this song to me, i would marry him in a second. Oh, and JC's "that's when I'll stop loving, that's when I'll stop loving, that's when I'll stop loving YOU!!!"? Great! I timed the "you" once. I think it was about 10 seconds. Go JC!

I'll Be Good For You

Girl I wanna be a part of your fantasy

Well. We have this track 11 here. It took me months of listening to NSA to not skip over it, and I still do from time to time. But hey, it was a good first try for Justin.
Grade:8

I Thought She Knew

 I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken

Woohoo, Joey gets to sing! And get this: he CAN sing! Hallelujah, ring those church bells! I love it. Whoever doesn't love it...screw you. I challenge you to find five other guys who can sing a capella this well. (Yes, O-Town, I'm looking in your direction...) Love love love. Lalala.
Grade:10!

Overall:
111.5 out of a possible 120. Which comes out to...93! Woohoo! That's an A baby! So, yeah, go get it. Peace.
