Out of Sync

Is Justin Timberlake's ex Britney Spears trying to put the final nail in 'N Sync's coffin? Britney asked Justin's boybandmate JC Chasez to open for her in the U.K.; and if touring with Britney ups JC's profile and gets his solo career on track the way Chasez' management is hoping it will, it could mean "Bye Bye Bye" once and for all to 'N Sync.


From DanceFrontDoor.

NSYNC star JC Chasez is the latest singer to get the Basement Jaxx treatment.

Basement Jaxx hooked up with JC while he was on a trip to London. He wanted some advice about producing his solo album so he popped into their studio for a cup of tea and ended up singing on their new track. They say the Prince-like vocals were all JC and they didn't actually expect him to sound like that.

They've already remixed Justin Timberlake, but what were they expecting from his bandmate?

"Well a bit of a dubious character you expect, he's from a boyband, a big American boyband. But he turned up, he was really humble, he flattered us a lot and told us our music was great, and he seemed to know about it, it wasn't b******* so yeah, it was really good."

"He's a cool guy. I think it always helps, definitely, a bit of flattery!"

There's a place to leave comments and thoughts on the article.

JC Chasez Opening For Britney In U.K., Lines Up Solo Dates
03.29.2004 4:04 PM EST

Britney Spears has at least one friend left from her "Mickey Mouse Club" days.

JC Chasez, who starred on the revamped TV series along with Spears, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera, will open for Britney when the pop princess performs eight shows in the U.K. beginning April 26 at Wembley Arena in London. The stint, which includes three other Wembley shows, wraps up May 5 in Birmingham.

The 'NSYNC singer, who is promoting his solo debut, Schizophrenic, will bookmark the British trip with four West Coast dates before and a handful of Midwest and East Coast dates afterward.

"Right now my whole world is this record," Chasez said recently. "I'm proud of this record. I want everybody to hear this record. And I want to sing it for everybody."

Before launching his U.S. tour April 19 in Anaheim, California, JC will shoot a video for the album's second single, "All Day Long I Dream About Sex." The director and concept have not yet been decided.

"All Day Long I Dream About Sex" was produced by Riprock 'n' Alex G, the duo behind the equally steamy "Some Girls (Dance With Women). The tune is a more electronic and club-friendly, however, with its oft-repeated chorus.

Chasez said he titled the album Schizophrenic after its wide array of styles, or personalities.

"I didn't think in terms of any barriers, I was just wide open with it," he said. "I didn't go for any certain sound. I just went for great tunes ... and it didn't matter what kind of music it was. If it was electronica, if it was rock, if it was ballads, whatever, I made something that felt really good."

JC Chasez tour dates, according to Jive Records:

* 4/19 - Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues
* 4/21 - Las Vegas, NV @ House of Blues
* 4/22 - West Hollywood, CA @ House of Blues
* 4/25 - San Francisco, CA @ The Fillmore
* 5/7 - Chicago, IL @ House of Blues
* 5/8 - Pontiac, MI @ Clutch Cargo
* 5/9 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Chevrolet Amphitheatre
* 5/10 - Pittston, PA @ The Staircase
* 5/12 - New York, NY @ Roseland Ballroom
