CELEBRITY was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. "Gone" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
"Girlfriend" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
N Sync's fourth album further mines the territory first explored on the band's previous NO STRINGS ATTACHED--namely, fame, its price and consequences. This continues a boy band tradition of questioning, if not actually biting, the hand that feeds, stretching from the Beatles through the Monkees, David Cassidy, the Bay City Rollers, and more recent contenders such as New Kids On The Block. This type of manuever usually precedes a catastrophic drop in sales and /or acrimonious split.
Regardless of whether CELEBRITY is a portent of disaster, it's an effective amalgamation of thoughtful, sometimes acerbic pop in the band's bubbly, R&B lite tradition ("Celebrity," "The Game Is Over"--the latter using arcade game noises to good percussive effect) interspersed with the ageless boy-girl dramas, such as "Girlfriend" and "Just Don't Tell Me That," that N Sync does so well. The low-key, string-colored ballad "Gone" is particularly effective, using a similar treated guitar effect to Madonna's "Don't Tell Me," while the down and dirty, self-descriptive "Up Against the Wall" is the band's insurance against any accusations of hyper-cuteness.

| Purchase Celebrity CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Tom Petty Live Anthology CDs (2009)
Celebrity album
$19.98 It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost ...

Celebrity CD music
$11.17 It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, ...
