    I think it was one of the most amazing albums I've ever had the privilege of listening to. Anyone who has heard the song Gone knows what I'm talking about.

    I think that 'N SYNC are number 1 and "CELEBRITY" is wonderful

    N'Sync just gets better and better. My kids introduced me to them with their first CD, and we've been fans ever since. When we bought the Celebrity CD, I listened to it several times while on a road trip, and liked it better and better each time. My favorite songs?: 1)Gone, 2) Game Over.

    This was an awsome album, from the 1st song to the last one, they are a very talented group of guys and I can't wait for more. I Still think their 2nd album "No Strings Attached" was better. Lance Bass is so so so so so very HOTT!!

    i never really finished listening to the album but from what i remember "Pop" and "Girlfriend" were the two main tracks i would play over and over. very poppy (as it should be) this was their last album together before it came to an end. Justin went off to a successful solo career and the other just ended on the chopping block of hollywood. this was fun at that time of the world.

    "Celebrity" is not their best effort, but it's still a pretty good pop album. Though I would've liked it much better if they stick to the "No Strings Attached" formula.

    The problem with N'Sync is that this album is out of Sync. They're trying to be somehing they aren't.

    This album was horrible from beginning to end. It's a shame music is turning to crap like this instead of some of the really great bands out there like RHCP, Pearl Jam, Weezer, and the Kenny Wayne Shepard band.

    First, the good news: 'Celebrity' is pretty damn fine too.... The bad news is that 'Celebrity' definitely shows signs of that discontent that all boyband members begin to feel after a while, and it's this which might well put some fans off.

    'N Sync's latest offering of threadbare cookie crunch...

    ''Celebrity'' may be the consummate teen-pop experience: It has the R&B swipes, the ballads, the grasps at artistic self-expression, and the requisite Europop.
