AFTER enjoying an almost meteoric rise to stardom when he released his first solo single Like I Love You, it looks like there's no stopping Justin Timberlake.

Member of the boy band *NSYNC, Justin still defends the group in interviews despite the fact they have not been seen on the scene for a long time.

But it also seems as though he is basking in his new-found limelight, hugely helped by his album Justified.

Hot on the heels of his debut release, Justin serenaded the charts with the moving Cry Me A River, which was reportedly about his high-profile split with Britney Spears.

Whether that's true or not, the song put him on the map and made it clear that there is a well of talent just waiting to be tapped.

But while he has been hailed as the next Michael Jackson, Justin's originality wanes a little throughout his album.

There are very few tracks that actually make you sit up and take notice.

They change in tempo and even change in melody to a certain extent, but unfortunately there's nothing that is really special, which is a bit of let down if you're hoping for more like Cry Me A River.

But if you're a fan of the artist, there's no doubt you'll like the album.
