*NSYNC Reunion Verdict: It's Time For Justin Timberlake To Go Back Into The Woods
And stay there.
At the 2023 VMAs MTV has once again proved that it is on its deathbed when it comes to both music, and music videos, though it formerly lead the charge in pop culture, that is very clearly no longer the case.
In a last ditch effort, they thought, why not get one of America’s most beloved boy bands back together for one night—not to sing, or to give them a Video Vanguard Award for their music videos (that went to Shakira—even though she didn’t perform La Tortura, RUDE) but to present an award to Taylor Swift. Literally what the fuck.
No I’m not talking about LFO, O-Town, 98 Degrees, The Wanted, or 4*Town, the boy band from Turning Red (I still play their music, it’s so good) I’m talking about *Nsync.
Y’all got JC Chasez out of bed, and out of his cozy cream turtleneck to come to an awards show filled with people who were TODDLERS at the height of his career? Do you have NO shame??? But I must say, he did look GOODT.
But the thing is, he was once again sabotaged by his band-member who is SO desperate for attention he had to break the dress code. What a LEWZER.
That little ramen head man had a good two-album run in 2002 and 2006 and lost his damn mind. Music ain’t been right since, and one thing about me? We haven’t forgiven you for what you did to Britney OR Janet!!! I knew better.
But more importantly, a conversation that we need to be having… This is what I want men to understand about wearing a good suit. It will change your life, and it will make Meech want to sleep with you! Win/Win situation here lads! He looks great!
Also, there was this “pink carpet” moment with Shakira Shakira and her sons, they’re so big!!! Who cares that she didn’t pay her taxes! She’s amazing and I love her!
And Halle Bailey is absolutely not extinguishing the pregnancy rumors, in fact, she’s pouring gasoline on them. Before leaving her hotel for the night, she posted a series of incredibly (and poorly) edited photos.
And then there’s this one, like girl, who do you think you’re fooling?
This is really amateur hour, and it’s really sad, because her boyfriend is trash, and she’s at the peak of her career. Sad! To do all that editing only to leave the VMAs and get papped? Come on now girl. Where is the Beyoncé PR when you need it.
Anyway, Justin can go to Hell, and MTV is going right along with him. Maybe it won’t go to Hell, but definitely Purgatory.
Thank you for subscribing to Now That I Mention It—and now that I mention it, thank you for being a friend.
“Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love)” is superior to all of N*Sync’s canon. Fight me!!!
Also
“We haven’t forgiven you for what you did to Britney OR Janet!!!” 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Feeling vindicated because, to me, J.C. has always been THEE STAR of *NSYNC
