Wow. Well, you probably agree because, embarrassingly enough, I basically just reworded what you two said which I do remember reading although at a much different point of my day than when I wrote this entry. The rest was mostly my own righteous indignation. I share your concerns in this entry about JC's album, and especially this:
I've also been trying to figure out *why* Jive has assigned so many resources to Justin. Justified is down in the 70s on the album chart, Senorita is sliding off the hot 100 and I'm Lovin' It never was there; they can't expect to get much more money out of this album. Why the big push of tv appearances, music specials, award show performances, et al?
That was an eerie bit of prescience. Why just Justin indeed. I don't like your interpretation, but that doesn't mean it possesses any less truth. *sigh* I adore what we've heard of JC's record more than I've taken to anyone else's body of work in forever, and just want this record to be as big as it deserves and I don't know what's been behind the delays, but JC performed full songs at the July showcase (including at least Everything You Want which was entirely new) and the promotional stuff that kind of happened and then didn't, then the constant date changes and all the Justin-related rumormongering, some of it from people who allegedly know - it's all just terribly frustrating.
