Think it's because we're so awesome?

Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to

Ha! I know all words to all songs, because I am a music meister. Seriously though, I sang along with some songs and if I fumbled even one word, I tossed it out of the "maybe" pile of answers. But! I know all the words to this one! It may be cheating a bit, since it's a slightly truncated version of the original, but it still counts, yes? Yes. :-)

NSYNC's tribute to Janet Jackson (MTV Icon special) - That's the Way Love Goes. Two things:

1) JC couldn't be more adorable if he tried (even with that slightly wacky anime hairdo).

2) This was the beginning of Lance's True Period of Hotness, which reached its zenith with the Bee Gees Grammys tribute, and ended with the nose job. He still has the most beautiful neck I've ever seen, but yikes! That pasteurized, homogenized nose. Sorry Lance, I will never forgive you for that. ::moment of silence for Lance's original schnozz::

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!

Hmmmm, apparently I'm the only person who likes Lance's bizarre new bandom-esque pictures.

I do wonder why his eye color was changed/altered/tweaked to appear blue, when his natural odd, quite lovely, startling pear shade is so interesting. So the pics would less Lance-like, perhaps? He kind of looks like a cross between...someone and someone else, but I'm not quite sure who. Someone in the comments says there's a little Tim Roth in there, and they're right. So someone, someone and Tim Roth. I think it's an interesting mix, and I still can't believe it's him.

Love the hat, and the way his ear folds forward a bit to accommodate the tilt. As much as I like the dog collar/SM collar, I prefer Lance's lovely neck. Ah! Someone mentioned Adam Lambert; I've got the recipe now. Part David Beckham, part Adam Lambert, a twist of Tim Roth and just a pinch of Alice Cooper.

Seriously, you people don't think these are kinda sexy? Is it because it's Lance? Poor baby.

JC!

I'M STILL UP. I shouldn't be, I should be asleep, 'cause I have stuff to do at work tomorrow. Clearly, I'm insane.

JC! Watched "That's the Way Love Goes" on YouTube a little while ago and felt myself carried away on nostalgic waves of love for the puppies. Waaaah! So freakin' talented, every one of them, far and away the best of the bunch. As someone commented on the video, "The last and best boyband ever." True, so true. They were just...perfect. I miss them. :-(

Aiii! My iPod just decided that it's time for a little solo Chasez, "Lose Myself." I swear, my iPod has a brain and is psychic. I couldn't love it more if it had fur. Other examples of iPod brainwave-liness: shortly after I read an article detailing LeRoi Moore's death, my iPod began playing Dave Matthews Band songs. !!! Also, my iPod loves Hanson. I'd truthfully say that Hanson songs pop, up on average, about 1000x more than anything else I have loaded up. Mmmmmmmmmm, Taylor Hanson is so puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurty.

JC!

I'm working off some hellacious karma, if my evil, evil, workload has anything to do with it. I just got assigned *another* project, thank you very much. Yeah, I don't have enough to do already. Pile it on! I was so frustrated that I had a good cry when I got home yesterday evening. I still feel like I've been hit in the head with a sledgehammer. Bleh.

( Work blather no one cares about but me. )

Oh my God, I'm not sure about this Man Band thing that Chris will be involved in. It sounds cheesy and awful, and if I watch, it'll probably be from between my fingers with my hands over my eyes.

VH1 Will 'Man' Up
Network creates new block of music-centered shows

The headline-grabbers among the new shows are "Man Band" and the somewhat self-explanatory "ego trip's White Rapper Show." The former will take five ex-boy band stars -- including Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSync and Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees -- and bring them together in a new group, making more grown-up music. Bryan Abrams of Color Me Badd and Rich Cronin of LFO will also take part, although a fifth member hasn't been found yet.

Shouldn't a Backstreet Boy get involved? I think Kevin Richardson should sign on. Sounds painful, doesn't it? I'll have to watch at least one episode - because, CHRIS! - but after that I'm not making any promises.

My newest guilty obsession - and probably part of why I'm working off this heinous karma - is "Life with Derek." Hey, don't judge me! Michael Seater is legal, dammit...and quite adorable. Something about him reminds me of either Ron Weasley or Rupert Grint, I'm not sure which. If the Weasleys ever discover a Canadian branch of the family, the kid should dye his hair and audition.

In other news, I'm tired. But, yay! It's only 8:00! I love when the time changes. I hate when October ends though, because it's my favorite month. But what a way to go out! I've been watching tons of black and white horror movies, including one of my favorites, The Wolfman. I love that movie! Unlike his father, Lon Chaney Jr. is a pretty bad actor, but that's part of what makes the movie fun. I love when his feet change to wolf paws, and he's walking around on his furry tiptoes. Bwahahahaha! Good times.

Yay! A string of Vincent Price movies is up next! I love October.

Appropriately enough, "That's When I'll Stop Loving You" just popped up on my iPod. Dammit, I *knew* I should have hit Challenge last year. ::sniff::
