cry me a river (2002)

Justin Timberlake has been since the early years of his life been an onscreen presence and has been subjected to singing songs about mickey mouse, being dressed as a 4 year old at church when your 13 and being put in a pop band with four other idiots who cant sing, dance or compose music however I think with this video he really came out in his own.this video features stunning graphics and visual effects for its time with a very matrix like flexibility and balance shown by young justin and an unhealthy obsession for one young unlucky woman and elaborate revenge schemes as justin roles up in a large black car with timberland his large black friend and proceeds to throw a rock through the window of the house in slow motion a very impressive feat if you ask me. The use of slow motion and the well used manipulation of recent technology it what gains this video the rank of 22 in channel 4's Top 100 music videos and made this song a lot more famous and prestigious than it ever would have been by itself. Justin completely reinvents himself, he sheds his past, regains his dignity and gains a reputation of a serious artist he takes a new approach and sells this new image much like co Micky Mouse Club star Christina Aguilera did with her song Dirrty.
