Round 1 - Pick 11

Justin Timberlake



Pure value wise, Timberlake is probably still a slight reach at this point, but he is the perfect fit for my studio's eventual overall plan. Part of that plan is to become a pop music machine. While there are some picks that would be better here from a pure pop standpoint, Timberlake is one of the biggest names around in pop music. His last album Future Sex/Love Sounds set the record on Itunes for most preorders and for most digital copies sold in 1 week. It had 3 #1 singles, the album debuted at #1 and Timberlake won two grammys for it.

Some of the other reasons I am drafting him this early will make themselves clear as my future picks are made (no I'm not trying to create a boy band, so you can at least put that thought out of your head).

Timberlake's personality and abilities make him the perfect person to be the face of our label. He is a goofball who will not only get his face out there with his music but with his acting abilities. He is an accomplished singer, songwriter, dancer, producer, essentially a jack of all trades, and will make himself very valuable not only on his own music but as a collaborative artist.
