This time, he joined Matt Morrison during his concert in London, UK on the 13th. They performed "This I promise you" together after one of Matt's best friends proposed to his girlfriend on stage. Afterwards, JC performed Journey's "Don't stop believing" all on his own and got the crowd on its feet!

Apologies for the lack of updates. Allow me to catch up with links mostly.

JC attended the premiere of MTV's TeenWolf on May 25th. Pictures can be viewed [here]

He also attended the MTV Movie Awards on June 5th. Those pictures can be found [here]

There's an audio interview he did with former MMC colleague Rhona. You can download that here

And finally, last night (June8th), JC made a surprise appearance on stage during a Richard Marx performance in Illinois that was being recorded for an upcoming PBS special. Watch for that later in the year. In the meantime, here's a short clip of JC and Richard singing "This I promise you".

Just in case the youtube video doesn't work, there's a download availabe at www.jc-chasez.net

JC Chasez: I feel like my singing days are behind me

J.C. Chasez has worn a lot of hats throughout his 15 year career -- pop superstar, actor, reality show judge, producer ... and that doesn't even begin to cover the terrible toppers J.C. literally donned during his N'Sync days. Now he's slipping the songwriter hat back on to help out with Matthew Morrison's debut CD.

Turns out the gig wasn't that hard to come by since J.C. and Matthew are good friends -- but what started out as casually advice evolved into J.C. taking on a much more official role as he co-wrote two of the disc's ten tracks.

In addition to that, J.C. also has the season finale of "America's Best Dance Crew" approaching -- an episode that promises to be the most competitive yet. Or at least that's the impression I got while chatting with the multi-hyphenate ... who plans to remove one of those professional hats from his career closet for good.

PopWrap: I know you and Matthew are good friends -- was that how you ended up collaborating on his debut CD?
JC Chasez: Yea, it was very nonchalant. The easy part is we were friends first, so every now and then he’d ask a few questions about entering music and starting up songwriting. Because essentially, when you first start writing you find out that everyone’s method is different. That just developed into the studio to see what came of it.

PW: How do you describe the song you wrote for his album, “Hey?”
JC: For me it’s fun and quirky. We were looking to do a song about the obvious but in a playful and kind of clever way. In the end, it came to us pretty easily.

PW: You're in very good company on this album -- Sting, Elton John, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kris Allen are all involved -- it seems like Matt spared no expense, huh?
JC: It wasn’t really about cost – it was about getting to work with the people Matt wanted to work with. He reached out to the people he found interesting or fun, he made the record he wanted to make, which is a very fortunate place for an artist to be in. He didn’t have to play ball – he could essentially make the kind of record he wanted to make.
