Why this vid kicks ass:

JC Chasez is a man who likes to wear pink. JC Chasez is also a man unafraid to let his geeky side shine. Just by those two perfect matches to the title alone makes this a great vid concept. But the vid delivers on this promise beautifully by combining solo footage- interview, promotional, and performance- with some old school NSYNC shots, capturing the hot, dorky spirit of JC in all his glory. This vid helps highlight how JC manages to make all his contradictions work in his public image by including both goofy and pretty-boy footage and takes you on a meandering journey through the life and times of JC. Also, although the vid doesn't follow up on them literally all the time, I find the lyrics perfectly, wryly fitting to JC's recent celebrity life and dating (see: Eva Longoria) which is the subtle icing on the cake.

But, probably the best inducement to watch a JC video set to The Geek in the Pink is JC himself. In pink.

The vidder was nice enough to re-upload this vid when I asked her permission to rec it, so please follow her instructions and feedback if you like it (jchalo at livejournal . com ):

all I ask is that people right-click, save-as, and do not direct link. I think that's about it--I'll keep an eye on bandwidth, and it should all be fine.
