Former ‘N Syncer JC Chasez knows a thing or two about dance moves (he rocked the “Bye Bye Bye” routine back in the boy-band day), and now he’ll be joining Randy Jackson at the judging table for MTV’s newest reality competition show, Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew. In a message sent to MySpace friends on Friday, Chasez announced his participation in the show, which starts airing Feb. 7. A few weeks ago, the Hollywood Insider spoke to Jackson about why he chose to take part in this search. “I just love the whole concept,” he told us. “I love the battle, it’s like back to the B-Boys and Krush Groove days, when Michael Jackson had ‘Beat It.’ Or the cast of High School Musical against Hair. I think it’s really cool. And these kids, they pump each other up. I’m like, ‘Yo, this is hot!’” Yo.

FINALLY some good news for the talented Mr. Chasez! Hopefully this will help to get that long-gestating sophomore album out to the public (i.e. in my grubby li’l hands!).
Hopefully this is the start of a new and healthier relationship with MTV for JC. I’ll be watching, mostly for JC. Sorry Randy and wannabe dancers.
this is amazing news for my hubby!…lol! no, but seriously, this will def. open some doors for his new album!!! good luck jc! i’ll be watching for YOU!!! <3

He is so cute. . .yes cuter than JT too! I wish he had been the gay one. . .
JC needs to release his sophomore album and stat. Hellllo record labels of America, pick this talented man up!
Hear, hear, Jaime. LOL
I do hope this helps the chances of his soph. album.
Yo? No.
2 losers with a losing show. Yo yo, what’s up dawg. It was aiiiight!
Barf. One more reason not to watch MTV.
He IS one of the gay ones!!!!!!!!
LOL you think????
the teams that auditioned know way more about dance than he does. i don’t know why he’s judging. the outcome of his album should not justify a talented group’s opportunity to win. jc chasez is talented, just not in dancing.
adding to what i had posted earlier, there are more well respected and talented dancers than jc. they could’ve brought in chris brown, ciara, jLo, usher… just to name a few. it’s like wade robson judging american idol. dancing can be incorporated into singing, but it’s not jc’s expertise.
“the teams that auditioned know way more about dance than he does. i don’t know why he’s judging. jc chasez is talented, just not in dancing.”
Um,you do realize he’s been in dance competitions since childhood, was on a dance variety show and has has more dance training than the AMATEURS that are auditioning. Educate yourself before you say something
