rosebeeSheesh. I go to work in the morning, and everything's all nice & happy, people ale are excited about JC's club/radio tour starting tonight, and generally in a good mood/spirits.
I get home, and it seems there's been a bit of excitement regarding certain things that were said in an interview with Rolling Stone.
I think I'm going to go read what was said/written and see how I feel about it.

And I'm back.
Huh. I can see why some people in fandom are a tad miffed by some of the things he said. With that said, here's my take on the situation...
I can see wholeheartedly why he said he thought Justified was better than anything the group'd done. The whole reason he wanted to do the solo project was so he could have complete control over it. That's the only reason, as far as I can see, that a person who was in a group would want to go out and do a solo album. And if he has something that he had complete control over, that he was able to put his heart and soul into, without having to compromise or make changes he didn't originally feel were necessary to preserve the 'image' of a band that he didn't create (the band's image, I mean), then it's natural that he's going to feel that the work of art that results is a better one than one that he had to modify & make changes to.
When they started the haitus, I believe one (or more than one) of them said something to the effect that the reason they were comfortable taking this break now was because they were all pleased with where they had come with Celebrity. They felt that before they got back together to record the next album, it was time for all the guys to have the opportunity to got out and do different things and get new experiences to bring back to the group.
Plus, I *totally* agree with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dacey when she said in her post, 'when I read that quote I just hear him clapping in the back of my mind over and over and over and over, like he did in the Artist Launch special. "Britney Britney Britney Janet Janet Janet. Try doing that all *fucking* day."
Only right now it's Cameron Cameron Cameron NSYNC NSYNC NSYNC. Relentless press sucks. And stars are never allowed to have a private bad mood.'
There was more I was gonna say, I think. But, I can't think of exactly what it was, or the words I want to use. Plus, I'm hungry.
