It was the 70's then the 80's followed by the 90's. It all left me with the feeling that there's nothing truly new out there... Especially not on MTV.

COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
That awards show was boring. He was boring *yawn*. And I like N Sync in general, but I thought he was less than riveting. Far less.
I have to say though that the album will probably do well. If the music industry can convine ANYONE that Avril Lavigne or Shakira are "punk" then they can sell this.
