I'm sure it's not a big secret that I'm not a big fan of JC Shuh Zay of NSync. And I've gotten a lot of crap about it, so here's a message to all those who have sent in stuff... JUST DEAL. Why, do you ask, could I make fun of and ridicule such a perfect man? Plenty of reasons. Let's start with his performance style, shall we? When he's dancing, he looks like a chicken with his head cut off that is having convulsions. That's really the only way I can put it. I mean, have you seen him lately? It's like there's no tomorrow and he has to flail that skinny physique around like it's the end. Oh my gosh, it scares me sometimes. He has these spazmatic movements that just give me the heebie-jeebies. Also, his teeth. Ewwwww. The kid makes millions, get em fixed! They're yellow and gross and he looks like a friggin beaver. Some shots he looks normal, kids it's called AIRBRUSHING. Some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth just does not make sense. He says words like, "gig", "the single is gonna DROP...", stuff like that. Stuff my grandma says. And when he has a word, he kills it. Do you guys remember the "NSync Top 40 Countdown"? Just how many times did he say basically? Freak. Belive it or not, I used to LOVE this guy. He was JUST BELOW Justin. Of course, that was back in the Disney Sp. Days. Now I just can't stand him. He's beautiful and has a great voice. That's it. Everything else, you can keep me the HECK away from that idiot. Oh yeah, if you missed my message in the beginning, here it is again: DO NOT SEND ME MAIL SAYING HOW MEAN I AM TO JC. I'M AWARE OF IT AND FRANKLY, I DON'T CARE. SO JUST LIVE WITH IT OKAY?

Good day, everyone. It's my daddy's 40th birthday today! Yay huh? I must say, that I probably have the coolest dad in the world. Seriously, he's awesome. We planned a pretty phat party for him which he totally deserves. Happy Birthday, Dad!
Back on track, Nik. Back on track. I am a 14 year old girl that likes NSync, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and yes... I have no shame in admitting it anymore.... the Backstreet Boys. Teenybopper written all over me, right? Well, no. I honestly think that I am not a teenybopper. WAS I? You bet your Bop and Tiger Beat I was. Growing up, there weren't any groups to lust and scream for until NSync came along. I'm pretty mature for my age, but when they came along, I could not resist hauling butt over to the grocery store and picking up the latest issue of BB. And admittingly, it was FUN. I had no shame whatsoever to buy any baby blue item I could get my hands on, and watch the Disney Special at LEAST 5 times a day. No joke. But I grew out of that phase. I evolved, I guess you could say. What am I getting at? Well, I guess I'm trying to say, give the teenies a break. It's a phase that I KNOW every fan from NKOTB to NSYNC has gone through sometimes. Teenyboppers get such a bad wrap these days because (sorry guys), but they're annoying. Hey, I know how it is. I have a 10 year old sister and it wasn't that long ago that I claimed my favorite color was baby blue and hated Brit just because. You're saying to yourself, NSync hates teenies and all their annoying ways. Again, I don't think so. I bet over half of the dollas come rolling in from the teenies spending their allowance, saving up for a concert, buying t-shirts, and souvenier passes for $20. I almost admire them. They have no shame whatsoever to profess their little lust and desires. It's adorable, actually. So folks, to wrap it up... give em a break. You were there once, and if you weren't, lighten up okay?

As I'm certain you all have heard, NSync is in the first stages (at least we think) of changing record companies. From RCA to Jive. This is by far, the stupidest decision they have ever made. Period. When I heard the announcement, I did not know how to react. Like I care how much money they make! Like I care if they get new management. No sweat off my back. But the fact that it was Jive made all the difference. I could care less if Britney Spears, Chritina Aguilera, and Innosense were all on Jive too. Part-ay for them. But it just so happened to be that the elusive Backstreet Boys are also on the same label. After all the mess they were in for "copying" the BSB and having to prove themselves twice as much as BSB did, you'd think NSync learned their lesson. Ha ha, whta was I thinking? They have gone and made another slick move towards being a total replica of the Backstreet Boys, to the eyes of 98% of the population who don't know the difference between Justin of NSync, and Justin of 98 Degrees. (Sick people, I know). Well anyhoo, the point I was trying to get at. This is a very poor decision on the group's part. I of course, no nothing about the contracts, or money, or any of that techincal crap. But I do know that if NSync want to get out of the Boys' shadow, they need to do things their own way. If they really want independence and freedom, why not go to a record label that has NO boybands and will treat them like individuals? All this is telling the public is, we want success and we know the Backstreet Boys got it this way, so we're following their lead. NSync also may not be aware of all the legal crap they have gotten themselves into. This type of case could take years and years to solve, and we all know that NSync's hour glass is running out fast. They need No Strings Attached to give them a lift (not to mention some NEW songs). But with the new album not being released until next year, where will they get that? From random appearances on local radio stations, or some charity event? Guys, that's nice and all but get real. Think about what sort of ordeal you have gotten yourself into. And make it quick. These 12 year olds are gettin bored and "Tearin Up My Heart" is Tearin up my ears.
