Fall CD Music Preview

Edna Gundersen of USA Today profiled the big albums expected out this fall, including albums from Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson, and R.

On Aguilera, Gundersen commented, “If Aguilera places more emphasis on her vocal skills and less on her sometimes curious taste in clothes and makeup, we’ll all benefit.” As for Mariah Carey, “If the first single stiffs, she could follow Michael Jackson into the wilderness of passé superstars.” And Timberlake? “If the CD is a hit, Timberlake’s juice as a solo artist is confirmed. If it’s not, he’ll probably be congratulated for taking some artistic risks.” Read more.
