he used to be so awesome

It's Friday, and I'm bored, and JC has been giving too many interviews in which he says conflicting things and only reinforces my belief that he has absolutely no plans to release music anytime soon. So let's talk about it

I always thought JC had the prettiest voice in the band. It's really too bad that he feels he's gotten the bad breaks, or whatever, but when it comes down to it -- success is all about promotion and selling yourself. And Justin, for all that his voice is reedy and his songs and movies are stupid sometimes, really REALLY knows how to do that. So what you said about JC being an adult and needing to suck it up? Yes yes YES.

He really does need to grow some balls and suck it up and take some fucking risks. I love his voice, and I think he's super talented, but that's not enough in the days of autotune when you've got Rihannas and Chris Browns everywhere. What Justin lacks in vocal talent he more than makes up for in promotion and the ability to sell himself. Justin is charming and funny in interviews while managing to only give exactly as much information as he wants you to have. JC... can't give a good interview to save his LIFE. And part of me thinks it's just because he's not trying and he's not willing to play the game.

He's like that alternate on the cheerleading sqaud who knows she could choreograph so much cooler routines but she's so OVER the whole cheer thing and maybe she should've joined the flag corps instead.

That cheerleading allegory is THE WINNIEST!

I kind of want to write that now. It would not be very kind to JC, though :P

[bossymarmalade]

Pfft! If JC would oblige us with music, we wouldn't be driven to these lengths. You should TOTALLY write it! That would be awesome!!

[phaballa]

I'll put it on my list!
