JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. Almost everyone can recognize this name when they hear it. Who wouldn't know who this talented musical sensation? Justin Randall Timberlake was born on January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee. He had his very first stage experience when he auditioned for "Star Search" at eleven years old. He got more showbiz experience when he was signed to the Disney Channel's 90's remake of the Mickey Mouse Club starting in 1993. When he was fourteen, Justin became a member of the boy band N Sync, which eventually became a huge hit around the world. In 2002 Justin worked on his debut solo album, which included many well-known songs including "Cry Me River" and "Like I Love You." Very eclectic, Justin is a pop singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Today, he is recognized as a successful solo singer and loved by countless fans.
In an interview, Justin Timberlake said that he had a mix of OCD, or Obsessive Complusive Disorder, and attention dificit disorder. These limitations affect Justin's life. He must always make sure that things are lined up perfectly. Also, the refrigerator can only be stocked with certain foods. However, despite the confinement of this disorders, Justin continues to sing and do what he enjoys. He stated that he still "loves to perform and it doesn't stop him from living."
Although OCD may seem less severe than many other disorders, it can greatly impact and take over a person's life. It is very unfortunate that such a well-known and diligent singer is limited by this disorder. His determination to continue with his career in spite of this is a feat that should be greatly admired.

wow I really didn't know Justin Timberlake had a disorder until I read your post just now. Very nice on the descriptions. However, I think you should mention more on how the disorder had effected his life, but other than that I'd give you a 97.
I did not knew Justin had a disorder too. Its amazing how many successful people out there have disorders but still change their life. I think you should mention more about what you think about his disorder. You get a 97
By the way he performs on stage, I would have never thought he had OCD. I like your explanation for how he works with his disorder in his daily life. Although M. Halfen asked for a brief summary, maybe just say a little more on how you feel or how it affected you.
I would give a 98
Wow. Interesting info. I didn't know that he had a disorder. You actually did what quite a few people didn't, and that was adding enough of your own opinion. Unfortunately, this lacked some information on how it affected his life. Good job!
Overall Grade: 97
I liked the description of the disorder. However i think you could go more in depth with the descripition of the disorder.
Very nice i give you 97
I really enjoyed your post because you blogged on someone that we all know. You gave a very thorough description of his life, and you also did a good job describing the disease and how you felt about it. You could have talked a little more about your opinion though. I give you a 99!
Justin Timberlake's middle name is Randall? I never knew that! Haha, anyways, I really liked your article! I never knew Justin had a disorder, especially OCD. I've always figured that OCD was common in girls and some boys but I wouldn't guess Timberlake. One thing you could expand about is how it effected his life. But over all your article was great! I'd give you a 98.
Great job giving a very detailed background information on Justin Timberlake. I think you should go into more detail on how his disorders affected his daily life. I was also wondering how having two disorders affects him, and if they affect him at the same time. You could also include more about what you think about his disorder.
I learned a lot from your blog because I never knew that Justin had O.C.D and A.D.D. I like the detail that you went into to describe his past accomplishments and how successful he is. There could be a little more information about how having these disorders affect his career and life but the other detail is good.
I had no idea JT had psychological disorders. You expanded a lot about how it affects his music. This was really interesting to read.
I never knew Justin had psychological disorders. I like how youn included how it affected his music.
