Description: On the Line, a romantic comedy starring 'N Sync's Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, is accompanied by this disc, which both consolidates the standing of some of the industry's biggest teen-poppers and singles out new Jive Records signings. New 'N Sync and Fatone tracks, along with the title cut (a summit meeting of Bass, Fatone, Mandy Moore, and others), offer little new, while Britney Spears's "Let Me Be" points to her growing vocal maturity. Much more audacious is "My Hit Song," a Melissa Lefton tune that displays a
Josie and the Pussycats-style irony about the current star-making machinery. Along with Vitamin C's Abba-esque "Do You C What I C?" and the return of Robyn ("What It Takes") on "Say You'll Walk the Distance," it's a highlight. Adolescent country artist Meredith Edwards adds to the project's synergy with a second version of Fatone's showcase, "Ready to Fall," while Al Green's disco-fied remake of his "Let's Stay Together" is a puzzler, distinguished only by his joyous performance.

Reviews:
Doesn't Have the Best Songs From The Movie
The film's best songs were the ones that Joey sang in the bar at the beginning, a remake of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Suger On Me" and the hauntingly beautiful "Kevin Crapped Out All Alone."
Since this album does not have those songs I will probably not get it. Too bad, because I am a big Joey Fatone fan.
Teenybopper soundtrack
I got this cd as a present from my mom (back when N*Sync was "cool") a while ago, and at the time, it was pretty good. Joey Fatone has a great voice and is very good on "Ready To Fall", but the REAL highlight is Richie Sambora. I personally am still listening to this cd for that one song and it's the only reason I gave it three stars (three times better than any other song on this cd!!!). The rest (Britney, BBMak, N*Sync) is just the soundtrack to the perky life of the teenybopper ...Unless you're a die-hard rock fan like me (who worships Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi), skip it.
The coolest combinations ever
I'm a great fan of that cd, it's really the boom. I have the DVD and found out that it's not complete without the soundtrack. I LoVe IT!!!. Most especially "Ready to fall in Love", because it reflects my life personally. If you have the DvD without the Soundtrack CD, your collection is not complete. Go get it , it's worth the money and time. And moreover I'm a SYNC Nsync fan 4-Ever.
