and the grammy goes to -- simpsons christmas boogie!

[bossymarmalade]

So -- are we going to start referring to Jive as the "PR Devils" now? Somebody tell me, so I can get my tinfoil hat ready!

JC's not Justin. He's not gonna set up camp on the media circuit or bother to follow deadlines. Which is fine, that's cool, that's the way he is and that's why we love him...so I don't see why Jive needs to be demonized for JC's album/singles not coming out when they're "expected". The guy's on hiatus, he seems to be doing the album for fun, not Grammy gold and sales figures and photoshoots in tight t-shirts. If there is an eventual shiny media blitz, I'll be the first to eat my words, but until then? I reserve the right to highly doubt that JC's so naive that he'd let Big Bad Jive screw him over.

So, spleen vented -- here's a lovely picture of



Whoo-hoo! Detagged version courtesy of stenaline. mmmmm, detag.

Word! ::high fives you::

Aww, it's little goateeish!JC. ..snuggle..

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

The goatee and the slight, quixotic squint? I love this look SO MUCH. He is so decorative, I want to prop him up in my office and watch him touch the wall all day. ohhhhhhhh yeah.

amen! preach it, sista!

[/gospel church]
I hear tinfoil is very big on the milan runways this season

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

You icon is mesmerizing. ooooooh, pretty!

And, I wear my tinfoil in a stunning cathedral formation! Whoo-hoo! *g*

[mostlikelyto.livejournal.com]

Not all JC fans are crazy! Okay, well, we are, but some of us are crazy in the good way! Some of us yell at complete strangers with fat asses!!! :)

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I was gonna call you a liar, but then you amended. I can deal with that. *g*

For the record, I really adore JC. It's a weird psycho sect of his fans (the JC=Jesus Justin=Lucifer division) I can't stand. *shudder*

[miss-saigon.livejournal.com]

Have you forgotten so soon that JC is a flower? He needs to be protected from the evils of the world;)

More importantly, that's some facial hair I can get behind. Scruffy almost goatee beats chin strip hands down.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

JC is a timid blossom! Bad record company, bad!

I love the goatee so much it practically makes me lose my mind, yo. mmmmmm.

[daraq.livejournal.com]

What is with people that they have to immediately assign blame? And in a situation that no one has enough information to properly understand? I give up. Thank you for being the voice of reason and sanity!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

the voice of reason and sanity

Heh! Well, that's the first time I've been accused of that. *g* But seriously, man. When the *nsync album gets delayed (and of course it will), are we gonna blame Jive then, too? For heaven's sake.

[scot-ty.livejournal.com]

The hand position. That's about boob height, right? Were they making him practice or something?

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Nah. I'm sure he does enough extracurricular work that he doesn't need the practice. Look at him! Nobody could turn him down! *g*

[throughadoor.livejournal.com]

mah hero.

dude, i swear to god -- did all these people miss jc's outraged deposition during the transcon lawsuit? do they really think he'd let himself get fucked over again? why can't we all just love the jc that i think i love -- the one who's a grown man who can take care of himself and mostly doesn't give a fuck?

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

JC's anger over being manipulated and taken advantage of is one of the things I love most about him. I find it hard to believe that at this point in his career, he'd slide back into letting anybody push him around.

[batgrrl1975.livejournal.com]

JC's not Justin. He's not gonna set up camp on the media circuit or bother to follow deadlines. ... I reserve the right to highly doubt that JC's so naive that he'd let Big Bad Jive screw him over.

I couldn't agree more. Everyone assumes that JC is a complete innocent in everything. JC has been told what media to do for how long so this is his opportunity to do what he wants, when he wants. You know what I mean? Also, JC is notorious for being a perfectionist and being late. Maybe he just doesn't want to release the album until it's perfect.

I don't know. None of us knows. I just don't understand why it has to be this big thing. Everything *NSYNC has ever done has been late. Why should this be any different?

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Everything *NSYNC has ever done has been late. Why should this be any different?

Hah! Yes, that's so right. I mean, I would've liked it if JC's album was out already, but then again, I'm still waiting for that Celebrity tour DVD, and that doesn't look like it's anywhere in the near future either. And, um -- who's the musical director on that DVD again? Oh yes, you damn right.

[ghostoftheyear.livejournal.com]

God, OK, this is everything I've been seething to say. Thank you so much.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're welcome. Now it remains to see if I get outraged flak from the crazies. *g*

[kirsten-lynch.livejournal.com]

He so looks like my brother there!!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's just mean. is he married? *g*

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

bah. JC psychos. And, y'know, when his album does finally come out and fails to be as successful as Justin's and doesn't get nominated for a Grammy, we'll have to go through the whole 'Justin and Jive are to BLAAAAAAAME!!!! *frothfrothspitsnarl*' thing again.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

*g* You just can't win! Such is the nature of fandom. And hey, at least it's less annoying than some "other" "fandoms" I've been in.

[lemniskate.livejournal.com]

wooooord!

I mean, is it just me that thinks JC is in the position of power with Jive over his album? Isn't that how it's been presented, *by JC*, in interviews? Jive asked him to make an album, he agreed, on his own terms, which he clearly made Jive respect and go along with. Why would that have changed now?

Wonder if the nutsos are buying that nifty new non-stick tinfoil for their headgear this year...

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

All the interviews with him that I've read and heard certainly sounded like the whole album deal wasn't even something high up on his list. But who knows, maybe I didn't get the special decoder ring or something to understand the secret "save me from jive!" messages....

[stargems.livejournal.com]

For the record, they are just as many Justin psychos. They are just better about locking posts. *snort*

And really, I could give two craps about Grammys or sales (of course, I will shout hallelujah at the tight Tshirt photo spread, which will never happen).

I just want this PR crap to end in general. JC and company need to just start leaking tracks so I can just burn the damn CD and end the madness.

Praise God for concerts.

*snortlaughs*

Word, sister.

And I want the single because I am waiting to put it on a mix that I've been trying to finish for a month... come on, JC!

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

No, no, you know the crazies will just talk about you behind your back...they won't bring the fight here TO you.

But seriously? A-freakin'-men :)

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

But I like having scuffles in my journal! It gives me the home-team advantage, or something like that. *g*

[ramblinround.livejournal.com]

I agree. So far it seems like nobody's making JC do anything. He's calling the shots. And I think that'll continue to be true.

I'm just impatient because I want to heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeear it. [/whining]

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

God, I know. I listened to the clips a few times and then stopped, because I want the whole songs. I have no clue what the album's gonna sound like, but dammit, it promises to be interesting!

[chootoy.livejournal.com]

Hey babygirl. Well said!



anybody jump on the detagging suggestion yet? Can I?

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Or no, wait -- Stina's just done it (http://www.livejournal.com/users/stubbleglitter/207231.html?thread=2019199#t2019199). Good job, too. But I have another picture that's very pretty and horribly tagged -- can I send you that one? *hopeful batting of eyelashes*

[stenaline.livejournal.com]

I tried to get through the JJB mess to find out what the fuck is going on earlier, and having barely survived that this post just made me so happy. So here, hope this will do:

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

eeep! It's so prettily done! Wow. You people who can do this kind of stuff impress me so much. Thank you, sweetie! I'll update it right away.

*mwah!*

[navia.livejournal.com]

JC looks very strange in this picture, but I like it. I'm not digging that his hair appears lighter than usual (it's probably just the lighting), but otherwise he looks like a Frenchman. I'm not even sure he speaks English. Well, he pretends not to.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

He does look like a Frenchman! I don't particularly find Frenchmen sexy, though. Hmmmm. We have a conundrum!

[saturn92103.livejournal.com]

My frustration isn't with Jive. At the Jive showcase, the Jive president just seemed so amped about JC's performance and kept yelling about how he was going to be a huge fucking star. It didn't seem like the reaction of someone who was getting set to screw the guy.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I can't see that Jive would push him to record an album based on his previous work and then just turf the end result. That seems like bad business, and they don't strike me as being stupid businesspeople. I mean, they backed Nick Carter's album, bless 'im, and that didn't do so hot. Why would they drop an *nsyncer when the other solo from the group's done so well? Don't make no sense!

[tsamm.livejournal.com]

Please don't fondle the art! If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, JC! Dammit!

and photoshoots in tight t-shirts

Hm. Well, I hope he reconsiders on this point at least. I imagine that *he's* the source of the delay -- that he's either dithering around and is unable to decide exactly what to put out or that he's screwing around in the *studio* still -- oh, one more change, just one more thing and THEN it'll be perfect. Etc. That's my fantasy and I'm going with it. But I blame nooooo one. No one but myself, or course, and I didn't think anyone was gonna take that memo seriously anyway.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

muahahaah! And you know he'll leave stubby little fingerprints all over them, too. Sweet daffy boy.

Tight t-shirts would be nice. An album would be, too. But hey, it's something he's doing on his own terms, why begrudge him that? Hiatus makes us eat ourselves, man.

And, you should blame merryish! She just stepped up and left a comment explaining her whole nefarious plan. *g*

[merryish.livejournal.com]

Actually, you're all wrong. It's ME. I did it!

I crashed the equipment grid in Atlantic City, too (note how carefully I avoided injuring all but the weak and slow). The Phantom of the Opera has nothing on me. (amateur!)

And I sabotaged Lance's space mission (you know where that money was? I had it) and if Joey thinks I'm letting him get married any time soon, man, the boy is delusional.

Chris, thankfully, has so far been wise enough not to test me.

NOTHING will interfere with NSYNC recording in September/October, you got that? NOTHING! BWAHAHAHAHA!

HAHA!

HA!

(ha.)

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

holy Jeebus! Don't you know there's psychotic fans who would gladly eat your hair for that comment? You're standing in the way of JC's songs about humping lesbian aliens, Justin smugly shaking his non-existent ass about on stage, Lance peeing in a tube in his space suit, and Joey swearing off ever sleeping with groupies again! How can you LIVE knowing what you've done?!?

that Chris fella's all right, though. You sure he didn't cut some kind of deal with you? *g*

[ex_halo669]

word wordy mcword word.

people just need to shut the fuck up. if he wants to take 27 years fine-tuning his album of Bolivian nostril flute music, then so be it. he's a grown man with his very own underwear issues. let him BE.

::froths quietly in the corner::

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Damn straight. It's *his* vision of sex-dreams, aliens, and lesbianic club experiences, let him fulfill it! Oh, why won't they let him BE?!? *falls to the floor, sobbing*

[arami.livejournal.com]

Dumb tinhats! *HUGGLES YOU*

Mmmmmmmm goateed JC *licks him* that's there is mucho purdy :))

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

He is the purdiest boy evah! With his little goatee and sly expression! And not a tinhat in sight. *g*
