Tearin' Up My Heart
I never really liked this song.
I still only partially dig it. It's probably the whole thing with rhyming
"heart" and "apart." I'm not going to even discuss my hatred for the video...
...yes I am. I hate this video.
*NSYNC reshot "I Want You Back" for the US, but they couldn't reshoot this?
Do they realize how bad this video is? I'm guessing not. Just look at Lance's
hair! He looks like Ellen Degeneres and Joey looks like David Schwimmer.
It's like a bad night of network
sitcoms in 1996. (If you think about it, Justin kinda resembles the dog from Full House, so that just proves my point.)
I Just Wanna Be With You
A little more midtempo groove than
their other songs, but the lyrics leave much to be desired. "I just want
to be with you / Girl that's all I want to do." Give me a break.
Here We Go
Corny as all hell, but I like it.
Every boy band is required to have a song with their name in the chorus,
and this is *NSYNC's.
Backstreet's Back... get on the
floor and do the New Kids dance... yes yes yes here we go, *NSYNC has got
the flow.
For The Girl Who Has Everything
I hated this song for a long time,
but it's grown on me a little bit. (I think the reason I hated it originally
was because the video is dumb.) It's got a good message behind it and JC
gets to show off his range here. I still don't like it all that much.
(God Must Have Spent) A Litte
More Time On You
Corny song, corny video. Hatemail

You Got It
Not a spectacular song, but the
chorus is on a constant loop in my head. "When you see a shooting star,
all your problems seem so far." That's just... that's CORNY. I do like
the harmonizing after the first chorus, though.
I Need Love
This song is bad on so many levels. You know that song the guys on Saturday Night Live dance to? The one that goes "What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more?" I'm pretty sure that if the synthesizer from that song had had a one-night-stand with an electronic drum machine,
this would be the bastard child. Worst *NSYNC Song EVER. Oh... hey did
I mention this song sucks? That it sucks ass? Because it does.
I Want You Back
The first song *NSYNC ever recorded,
and my favorite song from this CD. Not cliche, not corny, just a cute uptempo
love song.
Everything I Own
I have this thing... songs shouldn't
be remade unless they're made better. This is not better than Bread's version.
The only good thing about this is that it proves that Lance really is in
this group. He gets to sing three lines and then tell me about how his
love for me will always stay true.
Yes, he's talking to me.
What?
Stop looking at me like that.
I Drive Myself Crazy
It's really rare to hear a slow
song that doesn't bore me at all, but Chris, Justin, and JC all impress
me with their solos in this one... even if I still hear "you confessed
your love, then died in the ocean" during Justin's verse. My friend Megan relates that to Titanic.
Crazy For You
Sounds a little similar to "You
Got It," but the hard drum beats before the last line of the chorus save it. Lyrics are dumb and obvious, but sweet.
Sailing
I didn't like this song for a long
time, but JC amazes me. He sings with such emotion that it almost sounds
like he's crying (but not whining... Nick Carter, I'm looking at you) when
he sings. Great five-part harmonies in this one too.
Giddy Up
Well... they tried. I don't know
what they were trying to do here, but they did succeed in 1) making a fast
song that doesn't sound like anything else on the album and 2) giving me
chills the first time I heart Lance's "girl were you alone" line. I'm such
a sucker for bass voices. This is my friend Kayla's
favorite *NSYNC song. She may be mentally ill. I'm not sure. |
