Think it's because we're so awesome?

Yes, tell me something I don't know, Mr. MTV-reviewer-dude.

Found this a few days ago, putting it here in my journal where I'll have it for always.

Justin Timberlake Contemplates The Meaning Of Celebrity In 'Popology', Posted 3/10/10 2:15 pm ET by Kyle Anderson in Music (at MTV.com)

The JC-specific bits:

JC Chasez's lead take on "The Game Is Over" is pretty remarkable. He is aided by a plethora of "Galaga"-era arcade sound effects, which makes the track sound simultaneously futuristic and old school.

JC Chasez (who really should have become a bigger star) released the profoundly underrated album Schizophrenic in 2004 (it has two of the strangest and best singles of the past decade in "Some Girls (Dance With Women)" and "All Day Long I Dream About Sex").

I have my peeves with the article but the dude did say nice things about JC, so I won't complain. :-)

JC!

Chasez And Jive Break Up
By Mack Rawden: 2007-09-08 21:49:38

Break ups are a sad part of life. Sometimes love just isn’t enough and a couple is forced to call it quits. Twelve thousand years ago, in the first recorded split, Lucifer and God parted ways over angelic treatment reform. Some ten thousand years later, Cleopatra and Caesar vacated their relationship after the former whored it up with half of Egypt. A few years ago, Hollywood super couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston separated after a Jolie got between them. But that’s not even the most horrific. Not by a long shot.

According to Billboard former ‘N Sync member JC Chasez and his record company, Jive, have changed their Facebook status’ to single. Oh the horror! Things seemed great in 2004 when the ex boy band member released his only solo album, Schizophrenic, but over the last few summers, the relationship has distilled amidst rumors of Jive cheating with other musicians. The lyin’ bastard! It’s unclear where Chasez will take his finished follow-up Kate, but something tells me he’ll eventually find a new label.

Former 'NSYNC crooner JC Chasez is a free agent. Months after his single "Until Yesterday" was released and his second solo album failed to materialize, Chasez has parted ways with Jive, according to his longtime label. He told EW.com the decision was mutual and that he wanted to "wipe the slate clean and then take on as many suggestions and ideas [as possible]." In an even more startling development, the singer said he recently wrote a song called "Treat Me Right" for the new album from his former nemeses, the Backstreet Boys. ...

JC Chasez Cuts Ties With Jive
September 07, 2007, 6:50 PM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Former 'N Sync member JC Chasez has cut ties with longtime label Jive Records, which released his lone solo album, 2004's "Schizophrenic." Its follow-up, tentatively titled "Kate," was intended for release by Jive earlier this year but will now appear on a new label to be announced.

Of late, Chasez has worked as a songwriter on projects for Backstreet Boys, Sugababes and Leona Lewis, and has also written collaboratively with Richard Marx and Kara DioGuardi.

As for "Kate," it is tipped to include collaborations with 'N Sync mate Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Dallas Austin and Billy Steinberg. "It establishes a sound that is specific to me, a mash of all things," Chasez told Billboard.com last year. "I hope it'll be fresh for radio and listeners. In '97 and '98, pop ruled. But now hip-hop is the phenomenon and top 40 radio doesn't play pop records anymore."

On the big screen, look for Chasez in the upcoming independent film "Killer Movie," as well as making guest spots on NBC's "Las Vegas" and the CW's "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll."

Hmmmm. Now where'd I put my tin hat? ::dances::

Okay, so am I the last person to see this? I love Google, like, for serious. JC (and A.D.I.D.A.S.) were referenced in a novel. You can read the entire excerpt here, or you can read just the JC-related bit below. Not entirely complimentary, unfortunately, except the last line, which could be read in a completely complimentary way.

( Rude cow disses my boy! )

A small but positive JC mention in a review of Justin's album:

Justin’s voice may not have the power and vocal brilliance of his former colleague in ‘NSync, JC Chasez, but he more than makes up for it in technique and charisma.

Power! Vocal brilliance! Brilliance, yet! Yay! From INQ7.net. Follow the link to the original, or clicky-click the cut to read it here. :-)

Okay, you've got to love an article that describes the subject's outfit. This outfit, as a matter of fact. From The New York Observer:

Happiness

“I think Lance is happier now, in some respects,” ’N Sync heartthrob JC Chasez said. His former bandmate Lance Bass recently clarified his sexuality to the world. (“I’m Gay,” blared People’s Aug. 7 cover line over a picture of Mr. Bass wearing a blue dress shirt and his best “This is me!” face.)

Mr. Chasez was hanging tough with some bros around midnight at Marquee in the middle of last week; it was L.A.-based boutique Satine’s turn to throw a Fashion Week party. The former boy-band member, now 30, had come from the Bagley Mischka show. He enjoys fashion and thinks this Fashion Week was particularly “well-executed.”

Back on Mr. Bass: “You know, now he can go on with his life and not have to deal with people asking the question all the time,” said Mr. Chasez, who wore a pair of green plaid pants deftly tempered by a conservative gray Hugo Boss cardigan over a white oxford and black tie—Windsor knot, extra fat. “So I guess it’s a good thing in that way.”

He was full of qualifiers like that. Mr. Chasez was appalled by the insensitive and relentless behavior of the media that forced Mr. Bass’ hand.

In his coming-out article, Mr. Bass, 27, said that he had decided to speak out because the rumors “were really were starting to affect my daily life. Now it feels like it’s on my terms.”

“It’s unfortunate that he found himself in a position where he felt obligated to tell the world about his sexuality,” said Mr. Chasez. Mr. Chasez tabloid-famously dated Eva Longoria.

“He was being probed, you know,” Mr. Chasez said. “That’s not right. What happens in your bedroom is your business and no one else’s.”

Career-wise, Mr. Chasez was eager to promote his as-of-yet-untitled solo album, which comes out early next year, and his new single, called “Until Yesterday,” which officially drops, as they say, on Oct. 30. The song, he told reporters earlier this month, is about dealing with “your girlfriend getting knocked up with another man’s baby.”

Help me friends list, you're my only hope...

Someone on my friends list posted a transcript of JC's recent radio interview. Because I'm an idiot (see subject line) and I was headed to bed at the time, I didn't nab it for my very own. Why I didn't bookmark it either, I'll never know. So...could someone point the way? I've been backwards and forwards in LJ, and I'm going blind. ::cries:: Thanks in advance, I hope. ::cries again::

Thank you, pacific_gravity!

Gakked from solo_chasez and posted here for anyone who may not know this already (yes, I've been living under a rock, thank you very much):

From a bulletin posted on JC's Myspace -

This Monday, September 25, check out my first single "Until Yesterday" on AOL Music.

YAY! That means I'll be able to catch it through the AOL On DEMAND channel, and *that* means I'll be able to DVR it and keep it forevah and evah for my very own. ::squees:: YAY!

On an un-squeeworthy note, Eureka is dancing closer and closer to the land of "I'll never watch again." Come on, folks! Oh my God, with the cliches! I enjoyed the episode as it was actually showing a little forward progress and resolution of relationship issues, and then the ending. If I had a gun I'd have shot my TV set. Bastards. And what the hell is with Henry announcing that he's leaving the town. What the bloody hell? Henry, dammit! I love Henry, he's one of my favorite three characters! I'm crying. :-( I'm beginning to hate this stupid show. ;-p

So...do the Nip/Tuck guys have a sex coach? Seriously, I've seen some top-notch, pornworthy moves from Sean, OH MY GOD. He's truly poetry in motion. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ::purr:: Also, Mario Lopez not only has a slammin' body (which I knew), but has a magnificent backside, to boot...so to speak. Tuesday nights. Yessssssss.

Justin released his first solo album before JC's, so when JC's dropped comparisons were inevitable - for some reason. Oddly, the shoe's on the other foot and Justin's newest Future Sex/Love Sounds, is being compared to Schizophrenic. Jigga wha??? Sadly, the comparison isn't a good one, but the the Orlando Sentinel reviewer balances some harsh comments (about Justin) with some good.
