JC's single (and album) pushed back *again*???

[foxmonkey]

Haven't seen this on my friends list yet, and I almost hate to post it. Yes, once again diving into the JJB so you don't have to. Not so happy news, unfortunately. PopCultMistress has been realiable in the past with inside info, though. Hope her sources wrong this time. :-(

Under the subject header I Thought JC's First Single Would Have Leaked By Now, dated today:

"I just tried to get it off a friend at MTV but no one is giving up any news. EDIT: She just got back to me and said its been pushed back as well as the album but no one knows the release date. Take from that what you will."

And a little later she posted this...

"She said the single pushed back from August 11 to don't know when. They have no plans to put it on MTV at the moment. She runs the daily content for TRL. She would know. Honestly she would."

Friggin' oy.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I know. Is that complete and utter crap, or what? How many date changes does that make, eleventy-hundred? I swear, I wish I knew who to blame for this one, because I'd sink my canines into his/her jugular.

This is beyond ridiculous.

[saturn92103.livejournal.com]

I don't believe it yet. I refuse to believe it yet.

So there. Take that.

(Honestly, I can handle waiting longer but all of the date changes make me nervous for him and what it can do to his album.)

You've hit the nail on the head.

It's got to be frustrating for JC. The thing was finished how long ago? Then all the hoohah with the record company label moving thing, and he knocks 'em dead at the showcase and he knows he's going to kill...and now this. Jeebus.

And what's really pissing me off is, by the time [whoever's making these jackass decisions] decides it's time for the album to be released, will anyone even care?

If this keeps up, I fear for the tone future news releases are going to take. "The fifth release date has been set for JC Chasez's solo CD. Industry insiders wonder if the album will ever see the light of day."

Not good.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

by the time [whoever's making these jackass decisions] decides it's time for the album to be released, will anyone even care?

Modifying my response to say, yes, his fans will care. But someone seems to be squandering any momentum JC might have going at the moment. Jesus, drop the album already, and quit jerking us around!

Yow, I'm a little more pissed off than I thought. I think someone needs a time out.

[babygotbass.livejournal.com]

This is awful! I get all excited, then they postpone again. ug.

I am just trying to believe that they keep pushing it back to increase the *quality* of what is released. But, I am starting to doubt it.

And it keeps getting closer to the time that NSYNC is supposed to be in the studio...oh the drama. I just can't handle it.

Yep, another reason I'm all a-flutter. The NSync album, and how it will probably take precedence if his album gets pushed back much further.

My head hurts.

[loveisimmortal.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

But its going to be damn funny if the single leaks tomorrow.

I hope it is! I'm hoping that her friend is completely misinformed and the reason we haven't had a leak yet is because security surrounding the song is just. that. tight.

Damn. Got my fingers crossed.

[loveisimmortal.livejournal.com]

Its hot enough here in my living room, so I'm going to try not to get myself worked up over this. Cause JC said last week August 11th, so until I here otherwise, August 11th it is.

[loveisimmortal.livejournal.com]

*hear

Argh, I couldn't stop the comment quick enough

Which is the healthier approach for sure. :-) I probably shouldn't even have posted this. Bleh. ;-(

[loveisimmortal.livejournal.com]

Its okay because if it wasn't you, someone else was. And you know what I'm just thankful that JC has a single coming out.

[without-me.livejournal.com]

Geh.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

Geh.

Yep, same here. :-(

[without-me.livejournal.com]

I'm determined to think good thoughts until we hear something concretely negative.

[diggybear.livejournal.com]

No, no, no! Hopefully that's just an error.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

No, no, no! Hopefully that's just an error.

I hope so, too. Wish I had contacts in the business, because I'd have them working overtime on this one!

It's got to be wrong. I hope it's wrong!

[kaelie.livejournal.com]

No No NO ONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

No No NO ONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it? Four days til the airplay date, and now this. I'm just...god. I don't even know what to say, except that I'm pretty pissed off. :-(

[accire.livejournal.com]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! We're too close for it to be pushed back now. =(

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

Ridiculous, isn't it? I need to go watch Teletubbies, or something. Relax a little bit. Grrrrrrr...

[coolwhipdiva.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna hope that, IF this is true, it's because the response to A.D.I.D.A.S. was so good at his showcase that they are changing that to the first single, or something positive like that.

But man, I wanted SOMETHING to drop on 8/11. I hope this rumor is just a rumor.

I hope it's just misinformation, too. This is just...ugh.

[tavellafic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that.

I'm trying not to freak over this, but more and more I'm getting the impression that Jive just doesn't have a clue what they are doing with this album.

And pushing it back makes the VMAs look really doubtful.

Gah.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

I'm trying not to freak over this, but more and more I'm getting the impression that Jive just doesn't have a clue what they are doing with this album.

And that's what confuses me. He had a monster reaction at the showcase, he's gotten pretty much nothing but love for Blowin' Me Up...what's the holdup?

JIVE has got to be the most small-time operation EVER.

Hmmm, do you think they're trying to pull an NSA-style gambit?

[tavellafic.livejournal.com]

Which gambit? I'm a relative latecomer.

I really don't have a clue what is going on in Jive's heads. And it's the damn seesaw that gets me. There was the rumor of the VMAs and SNL, which made me really optimistic because they would mean Jive was really getting behind the album. And then now we get the rumor that the single release has been yanked, with no new date. The last bit being what is freaking me out, if they had moved it a week or whatever I'd be irritated, but now we have *no* date, and release dates are usually scheduled a month or more ahead.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

Which gambit? I'm a relative latecomer.

Guess I should really call it a gambit, unless they're doing it on purpose this time.

When NSync sued to be rid of Lou, their next album was caught in limbo. They couldn't release it for legal reasons (that someone with better details than I've got can give you) - I think it involved ownership and how Lou was involved in the contracts and stuff. Anyway.

Because the album was held up in court, anticipation was *huge*. NSync won the lawsuit and the album could finally be released, and the rest really *is* history. Biggest first week sales ever by anyone.

I sincerely hope the JIVE ass-hats aren't doing it intentionally this time.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

Guess I should really call it a gambit, unless they're doing it on purpose this time.

Can't edit comments! I'd pay extra to be able to edit my comments!!!

Anyway. That should have been:

"Guess I shouldn't really call it a gambit, unless they're doing it on purpose this time."

....

They better release the single, and the album, on time, or the bunny gets it



Take this as a warning JIVE...

[tallories.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

...

If anybody needs me, I'll be over in that corner mumbling to myself for a while...

[shaggyncurly.livejournal.com]

But Monday was just around the corner, man... and he was gonna perform at the VMAs (his first!) and rock the spot, looking too damn hot... and Justin told people he would come after them if they didn't go out and buy it!!

I hope Justin is raising hell at Jive if this is all their doing. *goes to happy Justin-raising-hell-for-JC place*

Well, Monday's just on the horizon, so the light at the tunnel hasn't completely been snuffed out. Yet. *sob*

I'm keeping a happy thought, hoping the source was wrong, or at least misinformed.

This solo stuff and waiting is just too hard. Maybe I'll be an Aaron Carter fan for awhile...

[babygotbass.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but I just can't let you do it. You can not be an Aaron Carter fan. The world should end first.

Hahahahahahahahahaha... ahhh. ...hahahahaahahahaha!

You know, AC fans probably get employee benefits and a company bigw heel. Hmm, well he does tour constantly and there's like gotta be a stipulation in his contract that he release an album a year, because dude churns 'em out like nothing.

Hopefully this speculated backlog for JC's solo LP means the quality will be [that much] better. ;-)
