1. 1. Justin Timberlake

   8/31 at Roseland Ballroom

   His new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, demonstrates a more mature, edgier sound as evidenced by its great first single, “SexyBack.”

2. 2. Christina Aguilera

   9/7 at Radio City

   Aguilera’s just one of the stars on the Fashion Rocks lineup, but with no tour dates yet announced in support of her chart-topping album, Back to Basics, this is the show to catch.

3. 3. Mariah Carey

   9/3 at Jones Beach

   The newly svelte singer’s voice is as big as ever—as is her ability to churn out catchy pop gems.
