Teresa Gubbins
Justin Timberlake wasn't the only guy in 'N Sync, and here's a debut by JC Chasez, the hunky member with the dark eyes, to prove it.
As with much of the boy band oeuvre, the main reference point here is Michael Jackson, with songs such as "She Got Me" and "100 Ways" desperately wishing they were on Thriller, though Mr. Chasez throws in a pinch of George Michael and a dash of Stevie Wonder.
He has co-writing credit on nearly all of this 17-track disc, partnered with one Robb Boldt, an R&B singer-songwriter who fills the Linda Perry role.
Schizophrenic has shortcomings, including lack of originality. But stacked against peers such as Mr. Timberlake and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, Mr. Chasez's performance is surprisingly able, especially on ballads such as "Build My World."
He comes across as down-to-earth. He doesn't try to be something he's not.
