I'll be on a train to the Frozen North tomorrow so Pop Trumps has been shifted forward a day!

The rules are here but it couldn't be simpler. 10 is the highest, 0 is the lowest, if you really don't know then go for 5. Giving reasons for your scores in the comments is encouraged!

Stepping into the Pop Trumps arena this week is a former Mouseketeer who seems increasingly only able to make videos that feature at least one other famous person:


Justin Timberlake

Should Justin's N*SYNC output be taken into account? That's up to you!

DO. NOT. WANT.

And not just because he broke up *NSync, who were amazing but because he has created such a monumental aura of smug surrounding his mediocre hush-hush soft-pop that it has made all music more exciting than lunch with distant relatives feel self-conscious and not release itself. WHICH IS BAD.

Not only that but he gives people ideas that they're non-elitist because they once quite liked 'Sexyback,' even if they villify anyone who likes anything ever in the chart just because it was in the chart. Which is not the point.

Although actually I quite like his music, as a sort of mum-shock-pop thing. (As in music for mums, wot shocks them a bit because of all the Young People's Sex in it and consequently makes them feel young and edgy again which is alright I suppose. My mum hates it, mind you.)

Also, I agree with jel_bugle, his nostrils are annoying.
