The widely known No. 1 hit single from this album, "Bye Bye Bye"
was awarded Best Pop Video, Best Choreography and Song of the
Summer at MTV's 2000 VMA's
After going on multiple tours and having had tremendous success, the
other NSYNC members were ready to slow things down, but Justin was
just getting started and had so many new visions for different songs
and albums
It was at this point when Justin decided it was time to part ways and
take the risk of starting a new career going solo
In 2002, Timberlake decided to pursue a solo career debuting with the
hit song "Like I Love You."
Later that year, he released his first solo album, Justified, which sold
more than 7 million copies worldwide. He received two Grammy
Awards in 2004 for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal
Performance.
On March 15,2015 Justin released his 20/20 Experience album after having been M.I.A. for
several years after his "Future Sex Love Sounds" tour.
Critic Dave Hanratty claimed,
"Hidden track 'Pair of Wings' steals in following some silence, unleashing the
dreaded Big Acoustic Number. There's no two ways about this; it is an
astonishingly bad song, and one hell of a questionable way to close out an
especially questionable record. Saccharine to the point where it becomes
uncomfortable and trundles along, aimlessly, begging for someone to pull the plug"
(thewire.com).
Despite the criticism, JT attended the 2014 Billboard Music Awards taking home seven
awards including Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album for The 20/20 Experience as well as
3 People's Choice Awards and 3 Grammy Awards.
Timberlake was presented with the Innovator Award at the 2nd iHeartRadio Music Awards.
"I'm gonna put a lot of music out over the course of the year and some songs have
become really concept-driven; some songs have become a simple idea that turns into
something big. And songs, you write them different every time; you get an idea for a
song and you go, "Okay, I want to turn this idea into something." And then you wait
until you feel like the accompaniment that you're creating or sometimes you take a
completely different approach, where the accompaniment starts first, the
arrangement starts first, and you're like, "Oh." It gives you a melody idea and then for
some reason the melody you start singing starts turning into words. There's a time
and a place for everything, but when you hear it and you see it, all of a sudden the
visual comes into place" (rollingstone.com).
