The essential artists of this century

Beyawnce, naiwf? Really?

N'Sync? More like N'Stynk!

I think Beyonce is probably at present the right answer for pop. If Lady Gaga is actually consistently successful over the next few years this might change because I think she impacts culture in a way Beyonce doesn't, but even then Beyonce is still the shining example of what pop was for like the first eight years. I can't really count Justin Timberlake because while I don't think quantity is the best criterion the dude only released two solo albums and then focused way more on his acting career.

Justin Timberlake has an acting career?

Is this meant as a diss? It's a pretty ineffectual one.

No, I genuinely was not aware he had an acting career. I don't recall seeing him in anything or even hearing of him being in anything. :/

Southland Tales, Friends With Benefits, Yogi Bear, The Social Network, Black Snake Moan, Alpha Dogs, the list goes on. I really like him as an actor.

Only one I've seen, did he have a big role in it and I just didn't click that it was Justin Timberlake?

He had quite a big part in it - for the second half at least.

He had nappy hair.

Timberlake was the guy who said "A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars."

[GA!]

He was the guy with a striking resemblance to Justin Timberlake.
