"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 mean, I'm missing something, right? The person who wrote this is not completely talking out of their ASS, right?

No, they're not talking out of their ASS at all! Except maybe for the part where they completely and totally are.
Aiiiii! I can't believe I inflict this punishment on myself. Gotta...Google...Chasez... ::zombie walk, flies into zombie rage::
