i. I have never seen The Nutcracker but I know loads of the tunes from it I'm sure.
ii. I think a substantial proportion of the pop audience nowadays don't always or even often "hear the track first".

I think all modern music should first be encountered through the video with the volume on mute.

The falsetto bits remind me of the part in "The Serpent And The Rainbow" when the main character gets a nail driven through his scrotum.

You fail to understand that a good production team cannot turn a piece of shit into good pop.
There is no parallel here; KRS-One is (or has been in the past) a self-important idiot who thought he was much deeper and intelligent than he actually was, while N.O.R.E just wants us all to party. Give me a Noreaga track ANY DAY.

Ha who said we were, like, pledging allegiance to Justin Timberlake???
Are you now or have you ever been...? (Full 'disclosure' -- I NEVER liked N'Sync, an utter glop disaster without redemption. Backstreets any day if the choice came down to it, and "Pop" is the soundtrack of Satan and his minions.)

EURGH. I stand by my contention that a great song for five seconds was ruined by the quavering jello voices that proceeded to slather themselves all over it. Assholes. And sorry Blueski, "Pop" is the sound of a band aiming for relevance and deserving to be kicked brutally for it. Eric Clapton would have done a better job. ;-)

as for "like i love you" - i still like hearing it a few times a day. maybe his voice is too much cut-up flash, though - too many changes/parts and not enough real quality - maybe... a four or five minute intro to an incomplete song? good enough for me. the album tracks go down a lot smoother.

its not like i went and bought or downloaded 'Pop' anyway - i have no desire to own and listen to that or 'Like I Love You' but i see it on TV and hear it on radio and it doesnt piss me off (well the latter does cos of that screechy falsetto), its more likely to make me nod my head and tap my foot or something - this is purely down to the Neps production skills as i dont get anything else out of the songs (i.e. the lyrics and messages mean shit to me)
