After months of begging (and feeling quite embarrassed about it) I have in my greedy lil hands the Aussie import of the debut CD. *hugs bro* Thank you, Doug! I love you! OK, so, now that you know that I love me brother, on to the review!

Tearin' Up My Heart

In the corner of my mind, baby it feels like we're running out of time!

Typical *NSYNC. You gotta love it. I know I do. Makes me very hyper. The song is so cheesy, simple, pure pop. ::sigh:: Those were the days...
Grade:9


I Just Wanna Be With You
I wanna drown in your love, lead me to your water...

The first time I listened to this, I was like, ok, whatever, next! But it's really starting to grow on me. It's still not my fave, and I skip it from time to time, but still...it's quite, what's the word? Poetic. Flowing. Smooth. That little break where the voice goes, "Like this...*NSYNC...that's right," totally reminds me of this guy at school. I can just picture him doing some Vanilla Ice to that part...Ice, ice baby! Oh, and did anybody catch the "Nsync...full force...SEX" at the end? That lil voice in the background says it twice...Just thought I'd share that.
Grade:8.5


Here We Go!

Let's sing it one more time, everybody's feelin' fine

You know, for the longest time I didn't know *NSYNC sang this song. ::hides head in shame:: Kinda hard to miss, huh, you know, with all the "NSYNC has got the flow"s. But I never got to that part, ya know? I cannot tell you how much Dorge mocks me about that. *sniffle* Anywayz, yet again, typical NSYNC. Total cheese. Not much else to say. So...
Grade:8

For the Girl Who Has Everything

And in my dreams, I'll make your wish come true

Huh. Well. This song, it's...there. As you prob know, I am a total sucker for ballads. But this one's just...there. And I never really liked "poor lil rich girl" things. They just bug me. And please, guys, what makes you think that this girl wants your love? Huh? Pshaw!
Grade:8.5


God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You

The warmth of your smile, the heart of a child, as deep inside, leaves me purified.

::sigh:: I love this song. It was so hard to just pick one fave lyric. It's just so...pretty. I'm speechless. (And you know how often that happens, lol)
Grade:10!!!


You Got It

When you see a shooting star, all your problems seem so far

This song is quite...aggressive, I guess you could say. It's great to work out to. And I really don't get the part about all these crazy things that apparently we're gonna do, cuz not one of them seems particularly crazy. I mean, I walk through the rain all the time, shooting stars just-shoot. So, pshaw.
Grade:8.5

I Need Love

I just wanna have a love that is real

Yet again, I had some problems picking a fave lyric, but this time, it wasn't due to having too many good ones, ifyouknowwhatimsaying. In other words: this. song. sucks. I cannot believe this got on the album. The only thing that saved it was Jayce sounding great, as usual.
Grade:5 (one point for each guy who sang...i assume they all sang)

I Want You Back

I told you not to worry, I said that everything would be all right, I didn't know then that you were right.

And again, more pure pop. Whenever I hear this song, I always think of their first appearance on MTV with the 1-size-fits-12 pants... *giggles* Oh, and Justy baby's lil voice crack is funny!
Grade:8.5

Everything I Own

Is there someone you know, loving them so, you're taking them all for granted? You may lose them one day, someone takes them away, and they don't hear the words you long to say.

OMB, I love this song!!! Apparently, it's a cover of Boy George. *giggles* That was one funny dude. But anywayz, I love it. It's pretty. You can hear Lantz. ::does happy dance:: However, there was no reason for him to talk. There are the occasions when I melt, but usually it just cracks me up. Still, that lyric above ^^ is my fave lyric of ALL time...just in case you were wonderin...
Grade:10
I Drive Myself Crazy

I lie awake, I drive, myself, crazy, CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY, YEAH!!!

Good Bob. This song is fast becoming my fave song on the entire CD. I mean, 3 different guys lead for once. (Chris, there is nothing sexier than a man admitting that he cries!) And I bow to Senor Chasez! That lyric up there ^^, it's around 3:20. Trust me, it sounds better than it looks. ::sigh:: I love this song.
Grade:10 (three 10's in a row! I wonder what'll happen next...DUNDUNDUN!!!)

Crazy For You

I wanna, I wanna rock witchu!!!


lol, that always makes me smile. ^^ But really people, two crazy songs in a row? Pshaw, I could do better. The song's pretty good. I guess. I mean, as you probably noticed by now, I'm not a real fan of the fast nsync songs on this CD. But still, it's perky...and fun...and gets you high..this must be POP!
Grade:8.5

Sailing

And if the wind is right you can find the joy, of innocence again.

::sigh:: The song that made me dust off my old NSA CD. My friend had me listen to it, but refused to tell me who sang it until the end. *NSYNC? You gotta be kidding me! It's not whiny enough! Pshaw, I was such a naive lil...anywayz, I still love this song. It's just so peaceful, and relaxing, and unwhiny. That same friend used to have to listen to it before going to sleep. I dont blame her.
Grade:10

Giddy Up

Girl, are you a-lone?

Boys, what can I say? You tried? And it was a...decent effort. Maybe if the chorus didn't consist of three different words...but when I actually decided to listen to it, I discovered something: that lil background voice is hilarious!!! He starts out small (my fave part is around 1:45 when Justin goes "Everytime you're thinkin about saying goodbye" and the voice goes "say byebye!") and then he just gains power, and then all of a sudden, WE GONNA GET GET THIS CRUNK!!! lol.
Grade:7 (mostly cuz it's so amusing)

Sailing (Live Version)

Make an ocean of people

This version is exactly the same as track 12, except Jayce tells them to wave their hands in the air, and Chris says "to make an ocean of people," which I find to be hilarious. Get it, sailing, ocean? hahaha! ahem. Yeah, so,
Grade:10.5 (hey, it's my review, I can do it however I want to...scrub)

More Than a Feeling

And I begin dreaming, till I see Marianne walk away...

Another cover song. What of, I forget, I just remember that it's a cover. But I LOVE it. Besides the fact that it is obviously very well done, and nobody sounds too whiny, they happen to sing about this lovely gal named Marianne, which, by the way, happens to be my real name. And, unless I'm mistaken, it's the only time they refer to a girl by name. So, yes, I feel special.Also, this one lil song is the one that made me force my AWESOME BRO shell out an extra $10. Only problem: they could have, and should have, done it a capella. Bums.
Grade:10!!!

Sundreams/Some Dreams

I never noticed the blue skies or waters, because I only had eyes for her

I love this song. Funny, cuz I hated it the first time I heard it. Well, too bad, cuz now I love it. It's Dorge's fave import song. I really like the lyrics.However, I wish they would decide on the title. Is it "Sundreams" or "Some Dreams?" Cuz you know, Some dreams makes more sense in the context of the song, but it sounds like sundreams, cuz it's a sunny song. You know, Caribbean like, which is why I like it. It's so different! And Jayce gets to go high with "I'll find you through the haze." It took me a while to figure out that that's what he was saying though. Actually, it took me a while to figure out what they were saying, period.
Grade:10

Tearin' Up My Heart (Phat Dub)

Can't take it anymore

Pshaw, like I actually had a choice for my fave line. This song is 6 minutes 31 seconds of "Oh" and "Can't take it anymore." Good Bob, that guy who did this "phat" dub must have no life. However, I am going to give it the same great as the original, just cuz it's not really *NSYNC's fault that it sucks.
Grade:9

I Want You Back (Back Beat Edit)

Eva, ev-eva. You're all I eva, ev-eva..

Almost exactly like the orginal. All they did was take out that lil introduction (cuz I, I, I, I, I, I want you back!) and added that lil "eva, ev-eva, you're all I eva, ev-eva" at the end. Cute.
Grade:8.5

EXTRA: Together Again

What can I do, to make you see, that I'm here, here for you?

Oh, you're not going to find it on the Aussie import...see, before I got this CD, I borrowed it from tthe library, and they had this lil extra CD that had 4 songs in it, and I kinda forgot to return it...hey, they never noticed, so it's their fault! Moving on. I. Love. This. Song. The first time I heard it I cried. But it wasn't really cuz of the song, but it did help. But that's a whole different story. But the song is gorgeous. I especially love the part where JC echoes the main part. God bless JC. Did I mention how much I love his voice?
Grade:10


Final Results

Not bad. 161 points out of a possible 190. Let's see, if my math is correct, that is a final score of 85, which, at my school, is a C. Pshaw! That is WAY too low, since I gave the majority of these songs a 9-10. So, let's drop the lowest score, which some of my lovely teachers do, giving us an average of...87! That's a B, baby! Still doesn't make any sense to me, but hey, you can't argue with the numbers. Whatever. I loved it, and that's all that matters. :-)
