==The one and only==

I was on the other side of the dance floor waiting for the right moment. The moment to speak with her, the moment to introduce myself, the moment maybe just to say a "hello or how are you?" To prepare myself for "this moment", I quickly began to drink some beers and shots …I was certainly at my third beer and the fifth shot as the DJ made a decisive mood... "Senorita" was clinking out the boxes. On her way to the dance floor, she sent me a smile that I understood as an invitation. After a last motivating clap of my best friend, I finished the beer and went straight to her on the dance floor. The song was perfect; now or never!!!

Two minutes later, I was already back. As matter of fact, the song was good. So good that I forgot myself, thinking to be a great dancer like JT. This was definitely wrong. Justin Timberlake is on off!

===Justin whooo?===

I have to admit that I was one of those who underestimate him at the beginning of his career. Isn't it the right attitude we (men) always have in relation to a boy group-member?
Born the 31 of January 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee, Timberlake got worldwide famous as lead singer of the group NSync, middle of the 90ies. Boy groups are something that you naturally dislike, especially when the band-members are in the same age as you. When the person starts a relationship then with Britney Spears, you definitely think that he is not "cool" enough for you…

Fortunately, the Group split in 2002. Justin Timberlake broke up with Britney Spears, started a relationship with Cameron Diaz and also his own solo career. He was now a mature person about whom you can proudly announce publicly that you hear his music.
But did we not forget something? The real begin of his career? His first steps in show business?

Justin's career started basically at the beginning of the 90ies, as member of the famous Mickey Mouse club where other present celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears or Keri Russell where also performing. Timberlake was there actor, dancer, musician and entertainer of the show…

===How can we characterize his music?===

JT's music is based mostly on his voice. It's not really a manlike voice but more a really tender one that gives you the feeling that the singer is feeling every word he is using and that the music, the melody is flowing through his soul. If you can talk about a white Michael Jackson, here you go….
Related to Michael, we can also speak about his dance style which makes currently to the most double talent-artists in the US or in the world (another example is Chris Brown).

===The Solo career===

Timberlake's solo career started in 2002 with his first published solo-album "Justified". I would characterize the album as a mix of Hip Hop and R&B due his cooperation with The Neptune's( Pharell rocks!!!) and Timbaland. With this album which was sold more than 7 million time world wide, he won 2 Grammy's in the categories "Best Pop Local Album" and "Best Male Pop Performance".

===Let me introduce you to the best songs of this album===

♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫
==Senorita==

Senorita is an R&B and Latin-rhythm song of Timberlake featuring Nelly. I would define the song as summer-hit with a lot of melodic influence and unchangeable Latin-beats. Basically everybody could dance to this song.


♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫
==Cry Me a River==

This song is controversy to senorita an R&B song in the classical way. The beat follows more the chanted part and make the song in this was a bit too slow for dance floors. The song featured Timbaland and is characterized mostly through his strong chorus "cry me a river...oh…cry me a river"


♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫
==Rock your body==

"Rock your body" is probably the most heard song of Timberlake's album because you can hear it on each kind of disco. The fast beat gives him as well a house-music while Timberlake's voice and way to sing bring the song back to R&B. A great song!

===Future sex/love sounds===

Timberland published in September 2006 his next album "future sex/love Sounds"- The album was produced by will.i.am(black eyes peas) and Timbaland and is definitely an increase compare to Justified. The songs on this album are more variable. Giving the impression that the artist wants to show all his talents, all his repertoire. Another fact to mention is also that while the first album was full of featured songs, this one is concentrated on Timberlake himself in different sounds.

===The mentionable songs of the album===


♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫
==Sexy back==

"Sexy back"-style reminds me a lot of Rock you body because of the same beat. This also is also a completely dancing song and definitely fit to all kind of good mood parties. The song reached in a short time the top of the billboard charts and is also in Europe a big success.


♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫

"My love" and "What goes around comes around"

This 2 songs of the album were also as popular as the first one even the success was not exactly so big.

However, my favourite song on the album is still not in the charts but I think it will be the next one.

♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫
==Loosing my way==
*New album Future Sex/Love sounds

Great sound to sing with but also to dance as the beat behind is fast enough. The best part of the song is certainly the chorus:

Can anybody out there hear me?
I'm loosing my way. Keep loosing my way. Can you help me find my way...?"

===JT's business===

Timberlake has certainly this talent of making things successfully. Beside the music, he is actually establishing his name in two other domains: Movie and fashion.

The career as an Actor


Timberlake was already playing in 2004 a significant role in the thriller Edison, with Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman. However, the certainly more successful role was in Alpha dog, a movie about the murder of Jesse James Hollywood.
In this movie, Timberlake is playing an ignorant or dump friend of the murder, who in spite of the committed acts gives a sympathy role. With a lot of young charm, a bit naivety and playfulness, Timberlake gives is delivering a plausible excuse for this ingrate role of a murder. I can just advise all of you to watch this great movie.

The Fashion Designer

In October 2006, Timberlake presents his first mode collection called William Rast in Los Angeles. Under the slogan "street sexy" and with the help of his friend Trace Ayala, he designs clothes for men and women. Obviously his collection really matches with his own style of dressing.

˜"°º••º°"˜¨¨˜"°º••º°"˜¨¨˜"°º••º°"˜¨¨¨˜"°º 9;•º°"˜¨¨¨˜"

Waiting for the Zenith

When you want to be successful, you need to work hard and harder as other people. An additional factor is the talent God gave you. In this point, we can all admit that Timberlake has really been incredibly blessed. With 27 years, we can all expect that JT is still not at the end of the zenith in his career. The fan can just be as happy.

==Thank you Britney!==
