Have a question for JC?

remote control (thanks T!)
Then you may get a chance to ask him it according to this new ABDC
blog:
Fourteen crews are competing in today’s America’s Best
Dance Crew Casting Special for a shot to move forward as one of 10
finalists in the competition. We’re now at the halfway mark,
and the skill level appears just as tight as last season (uh, with
maybe a few exceptions).
We’ll be coming at you every day from Remote Control with exclusive
rehearsal pics/video, judges interviews, and insider gossip. Plus,
if you have your own questions for anyone who’s part of the
show — crews, hosts, producers, ANYONE — all you have
to do is put them in the comments section of the daily posts (starting
now!) and we’ll get as many as we can answered. We’re
cool like that, we’ve got connections.
Stay tuned to Remote Control for a final breakdown of the show finalists

In anticipation of the June 19 second season premiere of Randy Jackson's
MTV reality show America’s Best Dance Crew, our Reyhaneh Fathieh
chatted with show judge and former 'NSync-er JC Chasez about dance,
a boy band reunion, and, of course, famous bandmate Justin Timberlake
and his troubled ex-girlfriend Britney Spears. Read more below for
the full report on JC, and be sure to catch the show's live casting
special tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET on MTV. This season, viewers can vote
on which dance crews makes the cut.
A lot of people are calling you the Simon Cowell of the show. I was
surprised to find you in that role because you were always the nice,
quiet one in 'NSync
.I’m totally nice and quiet. That’s the thing, everybody
says I’m mean, but I’ve never said anything mean. It’s
just that I’m not going to sit there and say it couldn’t
be any better. That’s the way we were in 'NSync. We were always
looking to get better, so literally every night after the show we
would critique ourselves. We would have our video crew give us a tape
of the performance and then we would watch it and critique ourselves.
So, when I’m giving critiques, I’m doing it because I
want it to be better, but I’m not going to tell somebody something
that they can’t do. The only thing I’m going to critique
is something that they can do. It’s about reaching your maximum
potential. I’m not trying to tear anybody down. I’m trying
to bring out the best in them.
It seems to me that dance is becoming more and more important for
a performer, like if you’re a straight-up singer you don’t
have the full-package. Do you think the emphasis on dance is pulling
away from the music?
Not at all. That style has been around for ages. You could say that
dance is more important than it was, but I don’t feel that way.
I think it might have fallen out of the spotlight for a little while,
but it’s always been there. If you wanna go earlier, you can
talk about Motown, you know they always had dance routines in all
their performances. And you push along to the early days of pop, and
the biggest star was a dance performer, Michael Jackson, and then
you have Janet Jackson. And then you have Madonna. So I don’t
think dance has ever not been prevalent. There’s plenty of artists
out today that are huge artists that aren’t dance artists. We
seem to be drawn to that aspect a lot. Today’s dance artists,
I’d say are between Usher and Justin and Chris Brown and Rihanna.
But at no time I would say it was missing.
You wrote and produced for the Backstreet Boys with the track 'Treat
Me Right'—what was that like? Was it like crossing into enemy
lines?
Not by any means. A.J. (McLean) and I have become friends over a period
of time. I met him for coffee one day and we hit it off. At that time
he was working on the Backstreet record, so he said, "Listen
do you want to write something?" And I said, "That’s
up to you man, you’re gonna have to talk to your buddies about
that. I’m totally cool for it, I have no beef. I don’t
want it to be about egos clashing or people being uncomfortable. I’m
not about uncomfortable or confrontational situations." He said,
"I’ll talk to them." And when he did, they all gave
the thumbs up.
Do you think 'NSync will ever reunite? There have been some impossible
reunions, like NKOTB, Led Zeppelin…
No, because the thing is, it had its place in time. I know we made
a lot of money but we didn’t do it for the money. We did it
because it’s what we were passionate about and it’s what
we love to do. When we hit the phase where our imagination and our
passion started wandering, that’s when we knew it was time to
do those things. It’s part of growing. We’re now pursuing
the passions that drive us. I’m all for people doing what turns
them on as long as they’re not hurting anyone.
Britney and Justin seem to have very similar backgrounds, same kind
of childhood, same kind of history leading up to things…
[Interrupts] I totally disagree with that because everybody’s
home experience is very different from the next. No two families function
exactly the same and no two perspectives are exactly the same. Even
if you grow up in the same family, you’re different than your
brother and sister. Growing up in the same household, one sister can
be the wild child and the brother can be straight-laced. I think individuals
experience things differently, so I will never say that people grow
up the same, especially if they grew up in different households. And,
one, it is issues of being a female and being a male. That’s
two different perspectives there. She’s experiencing life as
a woman, he’s experiencing life as a man, that’s a vast
difference. Snoop Dogg didn’t grow up like Madonna but they’re
both artists

..."I thought the Jabbawockeez crushed it," JC Chasez said
of "America's Best Dance Crew." "That was amazing dude,
the way they came out of the ceiling. That, I thought, was great.
So were the Pussycat Dolls, they were amazing. [Coldplay] did a phenomenal
job, but they're pros. This is, like, their third or fourth record,
and they've got it down to a science.
"I also loved seeing 'Wayne's World' again," he added. "That
was a very nostalgic moment." ...
