Wango Tango - Hollywood
Reporter

'N Sync's J.C. Chasez came out surrounded by writhing stripper-dancers he
didn't need -- he may well become the strongest singer to emerge from his
group. |

Wango Tango - Ventura County
Star

*NSYNC's Chasez, backed by a massive marching band made up of area students,
puts on a splendid show with his solo hit "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)"
off the "Drumline" soundtrack. |

Zootopia - New York Times
6/1/03
The most memorable Zootopia performance came from an underdog, the 'N Sync
singer JC Chasez, who teemed up with a marching band and drum corps for his
wild Sousa-goes-electro single, "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)." It sounded
great, and it was over in about five minutes. |

Jive Showcase - FMQB
7/30/03
Did we mention that JC Chasez literally blew the roof off the room with a
four-song performance complete with a live band and dancers? JC is destined
to match or even surpass the success of his fellow band mate Justin Timberlake.
It was without question the highlight of a night filled with outstanding
new music, that also featured killer performances by R&B crooner Joe
and rockers Three Days Grace. |

Jingle Ball
- Minneapolis Star Tribune
12/8/03
He had energy and plenty of dance moves (along with eight dancers). But he
seems to want to play Prince to Justin Timberlake's Michael Jackson. Some
of his content was inappropriate for preteens such as singing "all night
long I dream about sex with you." Rating: One lump of coal. |

Kissmas - Cleveland Free

'Nsyncer JC Chasez's set looked like the lost X-rated episode of The Grind
as he and his dance crew gyrated to a song about drunken girl-on-girl action.

Kissmas - Akron
Beacon Journal
12/16/03
Former 'N Sync brunet JC Chasez's set harkened back to the old days, with
a troupe of eight dancers, costume changes and an extended dance break. |

Frosty the Show - Hartford
Courant

One song is all JC Chasez should have been allowed to perform. The raffish
'N Sync member's solo music is clearly aimed at a different audience than
his boy band's sugary pop songs. |

Irving Plaza - New York
Times

There were lovelorn breakup ballads, like "Dear Goodbye," that didn't stray
too far from 'N Sync. And given a lean, syncopated beat like the ones in
"Some Girls (Dance With Women), "One Night Stand," "Shake It" (which was
written by Basement Jaxx) or "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)," Mr. Chasez
was perfectly at home in the disco-lighted fantasy he was so determined to
construct. |

Avalon - Boston
Globe

Chasez has a decent voice, and the 'N Sync years have taught him impeccable
stage presence. With a polished yet genuine gusto, he skipped and strutted
around the stage, jumped and twisted in perfect unison with his eight dancers,
and shook his curly mop of slicked-back hair. |

Avalon - Boston
Herald

He promised the cheering audience that [NSYNC would] do it again, don't worry.
No one looked worried. Least of all Chasez, who, taped vocal harmonies aside,
proved that he didn't need help from those friends to put on a dynamic show.
