Music Thursday: This I Promise You

[citruslover]

I'm in a sappy mood today, so this Thursday we are taking a trip down Nsync memory lane, with This I Promise You!

The turtle necks! The neutral colors on the background of lush green forest gives it such a peaceful atmosphere, and the gorgeous vocals! *sigh*

JC's slaughtered-raccoon trousers!

The dead squirrel pants! Justin lurking in the forest shadows like a serial killer! Justin's extremely unattractive singing face. The bit where JC waves his arms exactly like a Sim in distress! Chris's wide little eyes when he pretends to pop the bubble! Also, Lance and Joey in the background, goofing off and grinning at each other.

The whole bit where they're sat in the waterside cafe is just love. I could (and have) spend hours rewinding it and seeing who is drinking what, and who is gazing into whose eyes, and whose hands aren't visible on the top of the table.

Also, I am picky about my ballads but a LOVE that song. Love, love, love it.

The series of inexplicable cameos is odd. I still shudder at the sight of the first one, which I cannot parse as anything but "Mom takes boy-child to get His First Tattoo and then kisses him, wtf", and what's the explanation for the snotty girl who doesn't want anything to do with the black guy who sketched something...? And I think Justin's eyebrows must be remote-controlled. Maybe he was born without them and has trained caterpillars instead.

Then there's brief JC/Lance eyefucking to make up for it all. Also, Chris looking *hottt*.

I'm a big fan of the JC/Lance eye-fuckery, but otherwise I can take or leave this video. It's just so random, like an idea lifted from someone's coma fantasy.

See, I wasn't going to mention that in case people accused me of bringing Lynncest into everything, but, ohhhhh, yes.

Chris looking *hottt*

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, yes.

You know, this is the video of theirs I liked least. I just felt so much more could have been done with it. HOWEVER, the turtlenecks ARE adorable.

Wait - I must amend the previous thought. The video I like least is the Euroversion of "I Want You Back." That video is horrid.
