Just Justin

Justin Timberlake (born Justin Randall Timberlake, January 31, 1981; Memphis, Tennessee) is my all time favorite pop star. He won my heart when he was one of the members of the boy band, 'N Sync. Timberlake and four others joined together to form 'N Sync in 1998, and became an instant hit, releasing three albums in a row, all of which sold millions of copies. In 2002, Timberlake released his first solo album, titled, 'Justified'. He co-wrote all the songs on the album, which took two Grammy awards: one for Best Pop Vocal Album and one for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the single "Cry Me a River". His 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' was released in 2006, and included two US No. 1 hit singles, "SexyBack" and "My Love".

Even as a kid, Justin had tasted the flavor of show business as one of the Mouseketeers in the 1990's version of Walt Disney's 'Mickey Mouse Club'. As an adult, aside from his singing, he has appeared in several movies, including 'Edison', 'Southland Tales', 'Alpha Dog', 'Black Snake Moan', 'Shrek the Third' (voice of Artie), 'The Love Guru' and 'The Open Road'.

Favorite Justin quotes:

"I think music will always be a big part of my life. I can't go five minutes without singing, sometimes unconsciously. And people stare at me, and I'm wondering why they're staring, and then I'm realizing that I'm belting out a tune."

"True love, to me, is when she's the first thought that goes through your head when you wake up and the last thought that goes through your head before you go to sleep."

"I'm a perfectionist. I can't help it, I get really upset with myself if I fail in the least."
