Timberlake Edges Aguilera As A Pop Makeover
Lisa Rose of The Newark Star-Ledger was on hand at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford on Wednesday where the Justified and Stripped tour rolled in. Rose said of the performance by Christina Aguilera: “Rival teen diva Britney Spears has done this shtick before, and better. Because Spears relies heavily on pre-recorded vocals in concert, she is able to fully devote herself to the visual element. Aguilera actually sings, limiting her ability to create elaborate tableaus. There’s no arguing Aguilera’s vocal talent, but her material is so rife with mediocrity that one longs for the distraction of a Spears-esque bungee jump or FX downpour.” As for *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake’s performance, she says, “Even if he was overpowered by his band at times, Timberlake is an engaging performer with a handful of killer tunes. He proved that he’s got the chops to outlive teen pop. The jury is still out on Aguilera.”
