Okay, so the R&B stuff mostly doesn't do a damn thing for me. I know I like N'Sync and it's a damn strange thing that I don't like Justin's solo stuff in general, but - honestly - I don't. I'm sorry. I love Cry Me A River, but that's about it.

Except!

Why did nobody tell me about (Another Song) All Over Again? Which. OMG. Justin singing something that sounds a lot like proper classic blues and running all over the scale and ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥!

God, this is going on the playlist that's mostly reserved for Ella and Louis (ETA - and Eva, duh). I love Justin's voice. I love songs that are designed to show it off, which are fucking few and far between. And I love that bluesy sound. Love love LOVE. I'm a fan of Gone, which has stunningly gorgeous instrumentation and Justin's beautiful voice, and while it's really a Justin song which criminally uses the other N'Sync boys as backup singers, it's still a wonderful song.

Wow.

One of those things where like I said - mostly his solo music doesn't do much for me at all, but every now and then he hits my buttons with a mallet and I become a flailing squeeing fangirl. JUJU OMG YAY.

Yeah, I don't get Sexy Back (and refuse to type it as one word). It's not my thing either, and I was shocked beyond belief when it did as well as it did. I really hope Justin has jumped off the Timbaland train for a different sound on the next CD.

JC voice, chills sometimes. Yowsa.

[shakes head] That song. People like the strangest things. I too hope Justin does something non-Timbalandy with the next CD, maybe I'll have a fighting change of enjoying it! ...Although, the music he wants to write seems to rarely coincide with the music I like listening to.

JC's voice is one of the most incredible things ever. (I seem to be in the minority thinking Justin's voice is beautiful, but I fell in love with Thom Yorke's voice at a formative age and have never looked back when it comes to high-pitched nasal male voices.) But - yes - JC. He has such range and power and passion in his voice, it's amazing. He's incredible. And I love the music he is interested in writing, so that works so much better for me! :D

I actually really like Justin's voice when he sings within his range and doesn't try to do falsetto. And when I saw him in concert, he was unbelievably good that night.

Seeing JC was like watching electricity run a city. He was such a ball of energy and still, sounded amazing on top of all the running around. Recording always does such a great job of capturing his power and passion though.

Yes! Justin singing within his range is a thing of rare beauty. Then again, I like the falsetto too (again with the formative Thom Yorke love). So I'm just a freak. :P

I. Oh, I'm so jealous. My dream is to see JC live. Well - my actual dream is to see N'Sync reformed, touring the UK, and playing the stadium that's 30 minutes from my house. But seeing JC solo would rock, too. Sadly, I doubt either of them's going to happen in the near future.
