Long story short (and this tale is long but e-mail me for details if you want). JC is not backing down without a fight and as per my friend Will who works in Pop @ Jive, JC is all about the controversy because in the end he feels that will give him legitimacy as a solo artist. The stuff he's singing about IS a departure from his *Nsync stuff and if they wanted JC, they got him on like 10. They are concerned about marketing because their assumption was that they could market him to what they think is *Nsync's audience (which by the way is ALOT older than they presume but whatever), but since he's all Parental Advisory (something they didn't see coming) now there is an issue with Marketing (as per Will). So it's still not sorted out.
At this point JC needs to quit Jive, and start pressing his own damn CD's and booking local clubs and just be reborn again as an indie artist. because his passion about his music does not Jive with Jive because they don't see the vision (they say they do, they did for a second, but then reality set in and now they've lost sight)
Damn Jive Idiots!
Why in the world didn't they grow a few brain cells and figure all this crap out ahead of time. So now, they wouldn't be delaying the first single, jeopardizing his chances at a big-draw tv debut (like the VMA's).
With all the confusion yesterday over what Justin was doing, I kinda forgot to get all obsessive about why we didn't yet have a single from JC. I guess that's today's mission!
ETA: more info/speculation from DinaScalari at the JJB:
(Haven't read all the responses) but someone mentioned why can Justin have some flavorful tracks but why is it an issue w/ JC well .... think about it: 1) based on the majority of material submitted Jive walked away from that meeting thinking "damn we have to slap a PA on this" Justin pushed the envelope but didn't tear it open. I HEARD there was a JC track that was all about sex, where he got very graphic, curses etc. 2) Jive was a part of Justin's creation process at intervals, they were aware of what he was doing, and had time to prepare. Jive basically let JC do his own thing and then resumed their business after all was said and sung.
btw Remember they do have a vested interest in *N regrouping, so their concerns (in a business sense) are valid

Date: 2003-08-12 08:54 am (UTC)That'd be very cool. Unfortunately, as a signed (& contracted) artist to Jive, I'm pretty sure he has to work through them.
I'm baffled as to why Jive didn't think up what they were going to do if he got a parental advisory sticker or had content that was geared more for an audience of JC's peers than that of preteens. It's not like either of those things should've been a big surprise to Jive. In my opinion, Jive really should've considered those things before now, and because they haven't that makes them utter morons.
