"Until Yesterday" - JC Chasez

To date, JC Chasez`s post-`N Sync career has met resistance due to a bagful of musical tricks that attempted to cast the singer as a hip-hop aficionado to less-than-convincing effect. "Until Yesterday" marks a dramatic change in his musical approach, with a minor-chord-driven Beatles-esque meets 'Rocky Horror' track about discovering your girlfriend is pregnant with another man`s kid.

It doesn`t hurt that former groupmate Justin Timberlake co-produced and co-wrote the track, giving Chasez newfound cachet. He remains a fairly nondistinctive vocalist, but "Yesterday" is a head-turner that could pave the way to a formidable new identity down the hitmaking highway.

"Fairly nondistinctive vocalist," jigga wha? Asswipe. Gotta give the "head-turner paving the way to a formidable new identity" part a big thumbs up, though.

Asswipe.

JC! Yay!

I forgot to ask...who's in your icon??? Those lips look so familiar! I'm thinking a guy in drag. Am I right?

Nope. Just Jensen. I'll see if I can find the original picture.

Yes! I stand behind the drag comment though, because there's something slightly feminine about his face - in that picture, at least. :-) He kind of looks like a male Hilary Swank!

Actually, Hillary Swank looks like a male Hilary Swank most of the time ;) I have no idea where this pic is from---he looks awfully thin, doesn't he? I'm amazed at how his face can go from really masculine to unbelievably delicate just by relaxing a muscle or two. I don't think I've ever seen anyone as consistently beautiful.
