A fan questioning whether or not JC and Justin love each other. "the brotherhood". The fan also says "Justin's solo fan base weaponizes decades-old photos with JC to create a parasocial shield."
Old photos. Hmmm okay. They are entitled to have an opinion of course. But when you look at the totality of what Justin and JC have said throughout the years, one can conclude that there is NO DOUBT that Justin and JC do indeed love each other.
Look at these images. Tell me there isn't love there.
Justin Timberlake Celebrates 'Brother' JC Chasez' Birthday with Throwback Photos: 'Come a Long Way'
Timberlake shared several photos from their *NSYNC days on his Instagram Story
Published on August 9, 2021 02:10PM EDT
"Happy birthday to my brother Timberlake, 40, wrote under a photo of the two hugging as Timberlake wore a white Nike hat and Chasez sported an olive green look. "We've come a long way."
"Case in point..." he added on a second slide, alongside two more silly photos of the duo.
It is astonishing just how much the haters hate.
During the Walk of Fame Ceremony, Justin gives a heartfelt speech telling his brothers how much they mean to him. And yet:
TOXIC TOXIC TOXIC. I cannot wrap my head around people like this who claim to be N'Sync fans. They are totally not N'Sync fans in my view.
I can't comment on the wedding invitation business until I find out what exactly happened. What I do know is that Lance confirmed he was not invited to Justin's wedding. There's a video on YouTube of him saying it. I have heard that Justin invited only JC and Chris. If true, here is another point that JC and Justin's friendship remains solid. If I had to guess, I would say that perhaps Joey and Lance weren't invited for a reason. Could it have been because of what Lance wrote in his book? Saying he was pissed off that Justin's life was all set up perfectly before they broke the news to the rest of the band?
Lance and Joey did not attend the premiere to Justins Justified album, but Chris and JC went. I would like to know the story behind that. Maybe Joey and Lance were busy; I don't know.
Quotes from JC Chasez:
Chasez is clearly prepared to ride out such annoyances as his favorite rapper Eminem's recent mockery of 'N Sync ("I don't care if he likes me or not; I think he's a talented guy"), by recalling the days of scrambling for whatever gig they could get ("We practiced 'The Star-Spangled Banner' just hoping to sing the anthem at a basketball game in Orlando - we thought we were so cool"). And he'll live with the badly bruised knee he's suffered after running his bike into an equipment case. "You know, when your back is sore, when your knees are hurting, when you're walking around with a sprained ankle, there's always that minute backstage before the show. You hug your best friend, saying, 'Let's go do it.' Because we all hug before every show. It may sound corny, but we're a family, and so whatever argument we've had that day is all squashed right there. And there's an understanding that says, 'Okay, now it's time to do what we do best.'" (Entertainment Weekly, May 2000)
They love each other. "I've been quoted as saying that girls come second, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that," says J.C. "I'm married to my best friends. People say it's my work, but my work involves four of the closest people in my entire life." (CosmoGirl, February 2002)
"I think the press thinks of us as a group, but it's more like a family to us. If someone wanted to do something outside, that'd be fine, but we'd always come back to this because we know each other and we're the best of friends." (1999)
Do you worry about life after N Sync split up? "Not really, because I know we'll all still remain friends whatever we do, and even after the band, we'll continue to work together even when we are doing solo projects. Sorry, but you're not going to get rid of us that easily!" (1999)
"He's just got that star quality," says JC about Justin. "He's like the sound. When people see Justin on stage, they think he's really cool." (Teen People)
"I don’t think anyone would like to be my girlfriend because of the attention level that you can’t give," JC says. "We’re married to our work, and it sucks for a girl to hear that she’s second. It’s a tough thing to say, but there’s no way around it. I love my four best friends, and there’s no way I’m gonna let them down." (Rolling Stone, August 2001)
In a dressing room, as Joey trims his goatee, JC leans against the wall, watching him. "I was so bummed yesterday without you," JC says. "It was so eerie. Chris was like, ‘I don’t wanna [shoot the video].’ But we had to do it." (Rolling Stone, August 2001)
As thrilled as the guys are about being uncles, what they really want to talk about is music. You'll have the new disc any day now, so we'll skip the flowery adjectives. Let's just say if any doubt remains as to whether these guys are the real deal, Celebrity will erase it. The band wrote the bulk of the CD's songs, which they describe as 'dirty pop', themselves and co-produced it. The growth is undeniable-some tracks are rough R&B, others are super smooth ballads, and the peppy lead single "Pop even finds the guys experimenting with the futuristic electronic beats. "I don't even think about what I've done," says Chasez, who along with Timberlake, shares most of the songwriting credits. "I'm proud of Justin-he's probably done the best stuff on the record." Spoken like a true brother. (Seventeen, July 2001)
"These guys ('N SYNC) are my best friends, we get to experience everything together, and that's the best part of the job."
"We're best friends. That's something that no matter what anyone says about us, they can't take away from us. It's a chemistry we have - a bond. It's a genuine thing, and I think that's why people enjoy being around us."
"We had outside people submit lots of songs, but this time, we felt ours were stronger. I'm proud of Justin. He's probably done the best stuff on the record." (Life Story magazine, 2002)"
He's very, very athletic, and he's always dying to do things and have a good time. I also love his sincerity -- he's a really nice, genuine kind of person." (about Justin - Life Story magazine, 2002)
What would you do if *NSYNC comes to an end? "Oh, I try not to think about anything like that and always think positive. But should it happen, we would still have each other and would remain friends forever." (02/00)
The NSYNC breakup and Justin's solo career rant.
This might not be the last of my rant posts about this topic. I have a lot to say.
MY opinion about the NSYNC breakup from Justin's point of view:
The narratives I read all seem to be focused on how the breakup affected the group, with zero mention of how Justin felt. What did this mean for Justin? What were Justin's desires, and why are those never relevant or mentioned? The focus seems to always be on the negative aspect of how the group was affected, with no mention of the positive side of Justin achieving his dreams and how happy he must have felt. What about his achievements and successes? Why can't we be happy for Justin? Why is Justin not allowed to plan his future? Yes, it could have been handled differently by the label, as Joey said on the doc BoyBand Confidential. Yes, the guys were deeply affected. But I don't feel that Justin Timberlake should bear the weight of having the power to shape the lives and future lives of the other members and how this would affect them financially. If you have a job, you do not reject a big promotion because of your coworkers and how terribly inconvenient this will make their jobs. In the case of NSYNC, yes, Justin going solo would have dire consequences because this was the sole income of the guys. One minute they are millionaires and the biggest boyband group in the world, and the next minute it is all gone. Devastating? yes. What I do not believe is that Justin was secretly plotting behind the group's back. Blame the label. "Tell us that" - Joey Fatone. Joey is right. In regard to JC's career: The industry is looking for the next artist who will make them money. They were right. They are in the business of making money and finding their next artist. It was always obvious, even from back in the Germany days, that Justin was the standout. JC could have made them as much money as Justin did. But the world had already decided that Justin would be the one. There isn't much I can say about that.
It also makes zero sense to me how Justin haters can be fans of NSYNC while hating Justin but also simultaneously wanting a reunion?
I adore JC. JC is arguably the best singer in the group. Even Justin concedes. Justin, imho, was the best performer. Justin deserves his flowers. He worked his ass off as much as the next guy and has been working nonstop since he was like 12 years old. The entire fandom has been ruined because of this JC/Justin debate. Completely ruined. And it's sad.
The one silver lining is what the guys feel. Never mind what the fans or social media say. It matters not that the entire fandom blames Justin for the group's breakup. All the guys rose above it all. The possible anger/disappointment and other feelings were eventually overcome and dealt with. The group has grown, and their brotherhood remains intact. The legacy of NSYNC remains intact.
Justin is receiving a well-deserved Michael Jackson Vanguard Award. He was the one who wanted the guys to come on. He acknowledged the guys in his speech and acknowledged all the awards they won as a group. Justin had to acknowledge that part of his success, or the fact that he even had a solo career, is ALL because he first started in NSYNC. And thank you, Chris! A huge celebratory moment in Justin's solo career is met with upset NSYNC FANS. I agree with the guy in this video (mostly), and the woman I find supremely annoying.
Fans can carry on being bitter, but it isn't solving anything at all. Justin's legacy was made. He attained legendary status, and no one can change that. He's set for life. And to those fans like me who like the entire group… I so appreciate you.

MTV awards.
I'm making more gifs of course, and it seems to me that Justin is always happy when he reunites with his brothers. So wholesome. It was the same when they were recording Paradise: lots of laughter and hugs with JC (JT and JC).
Love me some Joshtin.

Imitation Of Life
Justin Timberlake, the pop star, is flipping the script. On his solo debut, Justified, this son of the Southern music capital of Memphis bares his heart and soul by way of R&B. Mimi Valdes tracks the singer through the recording process and discovers his greatest fears and passions
It’s almost 2 a.m. on a cool, clear night in September. Justin Timberlake, lounging in jeans and a T-shirt, is glued to the TV screen inside his spacious Mexican-style home, which is perched on a sprawling 10 acres in the Hollywood Hills and surrounded by breathtaking views. Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes has just joined him to preview the video for “Like I Love You,” the first single off Timberlake’s solo outing. The clip debuts on MTV the next day, and Timberlake seems both anxious and excited. “This will be the fourth time I’ve seen it. Each time I catch something new,” he says. There had already been some backlash on radio call-in shows around the country following his performance of the song at the MTV Video Music Awards a little over a week ago. Some said Timberlake, with his moonwalk, tipped-over fedora, and gloves, was too Usher-like, while others said he was painfully Michael Jackson-esque. “People are so ready to hate,” says Timberlake, who shrugs off the harsh criticism.
None of these negative opinions changes the fact that Timberlake’s first solo album, Justified, may go down as one of the best R&B records in recent memory. “People will be able to look back at Justin’s CD in years to come and say that it was definitely fresh, something that was needed at the time,” says Williams. Indeed, the buzz is that Justified has the potential to have an impact similar to Mary J. Blige’s classic What’s the 411? or D’Angelo’s groundbreaking Brown Sugar. Artists and record executives were all buzzing about Justified six months before its release. For his part, Timberlake, 22, is hopeful, but has reservations. “What I’m mostly scared about is that people won’t get me,” he says. I’m really giving people a piece of me in my purest form as far as my music goes. When you do that, it’s like giving your heart.”
Imagine the challenges faced by a teen pop group’s front man who decides to do a 180 and sing hard-core R&B for his solo debut. After all, many fans and critics are only comfortable when they can neatly fit an artist into a specific box. Having rejected his assigned position, Timberlake is forced to prove himself to a somewhat skeptical urban audience, and his credibility is on the line. N’Sync’s “Gone” and “Girlfriend” (co-written by Timberlake) from Celebrity were as R&B as songs come, and they quickly crossed over from pop to urban radio. The videos were even in heavy rotation on BET.
Still, they were only subtle hints of the sound that would evolve into Justified. Historically, white boys have had to tread lightly in predominantly black musical art forms, and vice versa. However, if an artist innovatively puts it down, like an Eminem, talent ultimately prevails. “It’s just a matter of knowledge and exposure,” says Professor Nathan Davis, 65, who teaches ethnomusicology in the University of Pittsburgh’s music department. “If someone grows up listening to certain music or around that environment, at that point, it’s not the color.”
At least that’s what Timberlake is counting on. He decided to record Justified when he realized the material he was writing was a clear departure from the bubblegum tunes for which N’Sync was known. “The guys and me are a group,” he says, “but when we’re offstage, we’re friends. It’s good for everybody to take the time to sow their creative oats.” His fellow N’Sync members are already doing so: Joey Fatone recently performed in the Broadway musical Rent; JC Chasez is working on a solo album with producer Dallas Austin; Chris Kirkpatrick is developing television shows and working on an acting career, and, while continuing to raise the estimated $20 million needed to join the Russian space program, Lance Bass is busy producing movies. “I was me before N’Sync became N’Sync,” says Timberlake. “I look at my project as an opportunity to show who I really am.”
