didn't Janet give Nsync their first big tour moment? She let them open for her HUGELY successful Velvet Rope tour across Europe. in 1997 Nsync was nobody. They had a few songs chart top 40 in Germany and other European markets, but they did absolutely nothing to help her audience. the sellout arenas across Europe was all JANET. Nsync even credits Janets with giving them their first major break/exposure. Nobody would pick them up as opening act.

Yes, they worked hard and made "hit records" thereafter. but having a mega global superstar like Janet introduce you to the American audience can't be understated. And I've watched multiple interviews back in the day where Nsync actually credits Janet for part of their come up. she does NOT own their success since they went on to repeat it multiple times, but she definitely part of it--in a big way. |

The harmonies on the interlude he dropped a clip of on his IG sound exquisite.

The funny thing about it is: outside of Social Media, I don't hear anything about his refusing to apologize...again. He definitely needs to keep his mouth shut, but, I'm kinda curious not really at all if people still expect another apology from him, especially when it won't sway them to his side anyway. Do they even WANT an apology from him or do they just need something else to bitch about on a slow news day?

It’s interesting to me that when Janet made an apology video that wasn’t enough. People wanted her to continue to apologize and she refused. And it ended her pop reign. People (Janet and Britney fans) are demanding Justin apologize again and the response is “well, he already apologize. Does he need to keep apologizing forever. It was 20 years ago.” Double standards!
For me, I moved pass the Janet incident UNTIL I saw videos of him mocking the incident while performing. That whole “yeah I did it “ video with him reenacting the scene from the Super Bowl was heartless. You can’t apologize and then go bragging. He’s done that at least twice now. Pick a side dude. When he apologize to Britney and Janet—me too and cancel culture was still prevalent. It’s died down some. So the path is clear for him to be a privileged jackass again.

Justin has been dragged multiple times by the Hulu New York Times specials about his behavior towards Britney and Janet, so I think it's wrong to say only online culture cares about any of this. Especially when you have multiple media outlets reporting on how Justin is getting schooled on sales by his ex. It's obvious this goes beyond online circles, and his public image has been scarred over Britney's memoir.
I said it before, and I'll say it again the problem with Justin is in his inconsistencies with his PR forced apologies that aren't genuine, with his regular day-to-day behavior. He hasn't evolved from being able to change TRL/Dateline's PR culture of press releases with the social media generation that is investigating all activities, actions, and posting everything that happens in real time. As I said before he can't say "I am sorry" and "no disrespect" on Instagram with a PR released Chat GPT statement, and then in his next concert appearance say "fck that btch I ain't sorry" and launch into a 15-minute Cry Me A River/What Goes Around...' tirade.

LOL what's with these artists running their mouths and saying dumb shit. Focus on your music and your fans. They never learn, sigh. I'm still expecting the album to be solid though, as I have yet to dislike an album of his. Obviously, I like some more than others. Fortunately, there isn't a long wait between the first single and album drop, which is smart.

Who is this "source?" A Britney stan? Also, that "article" provided zero actual info, so I have to ask: what was the point?

"Articles" from Page Six have been posted here on Pulse for years, so why not? Even more pointless stuff gets posted and shared all the time but I rarely see anyone asking what the point is. |

That's the justification? Sure, I guess. That article was literally clickbait, as it failed to even mention how Justin is allegedly SEETHING, but OK. |

"Selfish" is an amazing song actually!
I hope that the order of the tracklist is good too, but I fear that... even if the titles are interesting

Changed. "Drown" - Feb. 23rd. Interesting. I wonder why they changed this, and what both songs sound like now. Perhaps No Angel wouldn't have played well with his PR challenges of late. |

I love Drown better than Selfish. I thought this album was gonna be another letdown but I'm getting excited for the release.

I liked Drown based on the clip initially, but it sucks.

No one wanted Lizzo or Meek though. At least he worked with Sza on the Trolls soundtrack.

Calvin Harris produced Fuckin' Up The Disco and No Angels. Timbaland produced Technicolor, which is over 7 minutes, which gives me 20/20 vibes (hopefully, more of Part I and less of Part II). Also, Danja produced Memphis.
