Talents Likely Will Take Justin & X-Tina Where They Want To Go

Steve Knopper of the Rocky Mountain News reviewed *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera’s concert at the Pepsi Center on June 23rd, giving the two performers a B- grade. He said “Aguilera clearly has vocal talent, her best weapon in the quest for pop-star staying power. Although she is prone to Mariah Carey-style histrionics – ‘oooEEEEooooOOOeeeoooOOOeeee’ is a common, irritating line – she proved on Etta James’ ‘At Last’ and Patti LaBelle’s ‘Lady Marmalade’ that she’s capable of hitting the high notes without sacrificing a song’s central soul.” As for Timberlake, “He needs to work on commanding the stage, like Jackson and Brown, but he has plenty of time to figure that out.”
