I think everyone is reading into this wrong, to be honest. To me, he doesnt sound cocky, he seems confident and honest. He is a very talented individual, and I believe he knows he is. I see nothing wrong with this, I don't think he needs 'humble pie'. I will admit, I think being aprt of NSYNC was his way of getting his foot into the industry and I'm sure it helped him, but he dedicated his life to being what he's become...eventually, he would have been known. With or without NSYNC. I think those of you who want to hate, really don't know what you're talking about. No, I don't know the man personally, but I will give him props for knowing what he wanted in life and achieving it. I will also give him props for being a confident, strong man in an industry that's the first to knock you down. Can't hate someone for that,
