I present the following as evidence:
HE [John Mayer] WANTS TO MEET: "Justin Timberlake! If he were a stock, I would cash out all my publishing and buy it. I think Justin Timberlake is the next Michael Jackson. That kid is walking around with this melody bomb in his head and nobody knows it's about to go off."
From Spin magazine:
Although he has been linked to Jennifer Love Hewitt, singer/songwriter John Mayer has a dark and lingering fantasy concerning *NSYNC's Justin Timberlake. Are you hooked now? Okay, good. 'Cause it's not what you think, you dirty-minded bastards. "I love the guy's voice", Mayer says, confirming rumors that the two MTV-certified heartthrobs have been talking about collaborating on new material. "I look at Justin with *NSYNC and I think, 'Okay, these guys are wearing matching jackets that are made of Twizzlers, but there's something waiting to happen there!' I have this fantasy of coming up with three songs for Justin, with my approach to melody and his approach to singing. If people say my working with him is corny, you can give them my number". (Note: He wouldn't actually give us his number.) "Justin looks at his money and his success and says, 'Nope, not done'", Mayer adds. "And I admire that".
Hands down, the most anticipated performance of the evening was Justin Timberlake's solo debut. Even best new artist nominee John Mayer conceded to the INQUIRER: "I think that if I were him, if I had as much as he has going on musically, [this is] the opportunity to show it completely unadulterated. I think he's great."
This is kinda freakin' me out, yo. Because I started getting into NSync and John Mayer and about the same time. In fact, I was reading some of my first puppyslash and listening to JM, and now the two are forever and always linked in my brain. I thought it was pretty freaky when I heard JM singing a little bit of Gone on a live track I dl'ed, but god, who'd a thunk JM was such an NSync fan?
In other news, I'm having a floofy hair day. The adjective fluffy just doesn't convey the goofiness of my hair today.
They just make me happy. I have no other explanation for the sudden change in my fannishness. They make me giggle like a little girl. And that is explanation enough, I think. My whole outlook on life is all happy and sparkly for the first time in a very long while, and that is OK by me.
My copy of Reel NSync came in the mail Saturday. Baby Chris is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life, way cuter than baby Justin. I've watched the No Mercy thing an embarrassing number of times already.
Poor baby. I so wanted this to happen.
