Because it gives me things like this awesomeness:

Let us bring you back to 1999, when Britney Spears could still claim innocence, Lou Pearlman was flying high amassing a fortune off the sweat of barely legals, and Backstreet Boys (sales leaders at the time, and moving millions) and ’N Sync were sworn mortal enemies. My, how things have changed in

*WEEPS FOR JOEY*

[trumpeterofdoom]

JOY, even. Oy.

[trumpeterofdoom]

THEY HAVE *SO* ALREADY MADE MY HEAD EXPLODE. HI I WILL GO AWAY AND STOP SPAMMING YOU NOW.

[phaballa]

They are SPLODEY with goodness!! I need them to keep talking about each other all the time now, please. I'm also picturing JC in the studio with the Boys, all, "Um okay, so who's the Chris again? Wait, you don't have a LANCE? How can you get by without a Lance??"

[raynedanser]

It's not like JC producing wasn't completely obvious in the first place. ;-)

[phaballa]

Oh, TOTALLY. It's funny that I can pick out a JC-produced pop track no problem. He has a... style :P

[raynedanser]

Exactly!! And then there was the .. musical arrangement? Even the keyboards sound like his style. :D

[phaballa]

The vocals too, I could tell he'd done the vocal arrangements because it sounded more like an Nsync-harmonized song than anything else I've heard from them. Lots of high bits.

[glendaglamazon]

JC used to do a lot of NSYNC's arrangements until fairly late in their evolution, when Justin started doing his songs. Whenever something says "arranged by NSYNC" that means JC did it.

That's a great article. Although, there is no "low guy" in BSB anymore.

[phaballa]

Well. Lower than Howie, maybe :P

That's cool, I didn't know that JC did the vocal arrangements. Have you heard the Sugababes song he did the vocal production on? It's really nice. Of course, it's the only Sugababes song I've ever listened to, so that might not be saying anything...

[puszysty]

I have not heard that. What's it called and where can I find it?

"It was totally bizarre to me because I had all these preconceived notions but never knew who sang what. So I'd be going, 'Oh, you're the high guy, he's the low guy, now I get it.'

See, JC says stuff like that because he knows, KNOWS, dammit, that I'm his bitch for life. Oh Joshua Scott, I love you so. ::kisses::

[phaballa]

I keep picturing that scene! Like, I bet you JC actually said those words, out loud. And then they all stared at him. And then he was all, "Hey, are you sure you don't want any aliens in this song? Or robots? Wouldn't it be fun if the girl turned out to be an android??"

[foxmonkey]

And then he was all, "Hey, are you sure you don't want any aliens in this song? Or robots? Wouldn't it be fun if the girl turned out to be an android??"

Are they releasing it as a single? Is it single-worthy??? 'Cause that'd be pretty friggin' ironic, especially if it hit the top ten and then got nominated for a Grammy and stuff. And won. And I'd probably cry because I'd be so happy for my sweet baby JC. :-) ::squee!!!!::

[trumpeterofdoom]

Definitely single worthy. The Boys are trying to push it for the single after the next. Or something. But yes, AJ himself really wants it as a single. :)

[phaballa]

There are bits when I almost think I hear his voice on it... but I think that's just Brian :P
