...City contains a couple of bonus videos, and the band dons the most amazingly surreal skin-colored body molding outfit (members flailing and all) for the video of “Good Fruit” that makes Blink 182’s unfocused streaking look like the adolescent teeny-bopper trash it really...

...Christina Aguilera is a bit too mature for you, red hot teeny-bopper pop is racing to your home venue before its stars' 15 minutes expire. Good luck getting a ticket for 'NSync's stadium and amphitheater tour-tickets for all but one of the 51 venues sold out on the first day. Combine that with the record-shattering sales of their latest album, No Strings Attached, and it's clear that those boys are the ones to beat this summer.
