* OvershadowedByControversy: His performance at the 2004 Pro Bowl halftime show was canceled in the wake of the [[WardrobeMalfunction 2004 Super Bowl XXXVII Halftime Show]] controversy. Originally set to perform "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)", Chasez was [[https://ew.com/article/2004/02/06/jc-chasez-slams-nfl-dumping-him-pro-bowl/ abruptly pulled]] from the festivities and replaced with Hawaiian hula dancers.



--> '''Alex Greggs''': [[Creator/JiveRecords Jive]] went through a major shift in staff and values and vision when Clive [Calder] left. If Clive had stayed there six months longer when we made that record, I think the JC record would’ve been phenomenal...He really listened to his artists. If Clive was there and JC said to Clive, ‘I’m not happy with the cover’ or ‘I don’t want this as the single,’ Clive is the type of person that would listen, and most likely would educate JC or myself or anybody else on a decision that didn’t make sense to us. He was great at that. If we didn’t like something or didn’t understand it, he would give an explanation why it should be this way, and 99% of the time, he was right. But with the shift in staff at Jive, there wasn’t that one driving force or visionary. Barry [Weiss] was good at his job, but he wasn’t Clive Calder.

* ExecutiveVeto: JC was denied a bigger [[NoBudget production budget]] for ''Schizophrenic''. His club tour was not supported by the label either and struggled to sell tickets. Album release dates were continually pushed back, to the point JC was in the dark about an exact date and fans were left confused.

--> “This ''[Schizophrenic]'' record is nothing like an NSYNC record…I didn’t feel boxed in by anything. I did this record just out of love for music. I didn’t try and format it or anything like that. Because everybody’s always like, ‘Aren’t you worried about commercial success?’ I’ve had commercial success, and I’m thankful for it everyday, but this is just out of labor of love. I just wanted to do a great record that I enjoyed and that’s why I did it.”

* ExecutiveMeddling: In 2019, music producer Alex Greggs spoke at length in a [[https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-digital-get-down/episode-10-alex-greggs-o7ersJIa1Db/ podcast interview]] about Creator/JiveRecords' sabotage of JC's debut solo album ''Schizophrenic''. Greggs confirmed how Jive believed JC to be less marketable than Music/JustinTimberlake because the latter was more willing to abide by [[MusicIsPolitics industry politics]]. Greggs also detailed how Jive gave conflicting information to JC about what they wanted his album to sound like, simultaneously prodding him to record radio-friendly urban pop, while also trying to steer him in a different direction than Justin. *NSYNC's sound engineer Tim Miller [[https://podbay.fm/p/the-daily-popcast-with-lance-bass/e/1585044003 reiterated]] Jive's lack of support for JC, saying they declined to promote JC's club tour. After ''Schizophrenic'' flopped, Jive wrangled JC into making a sophomore album (tentatively titled ''Story of Kate'') featuring production from Timberlake as well as Music/{{Timbaland}}, but continued to [[DevelopmentHell shelve it]] up to 2007. Chasez subsequently [[https://ew.com/article/2007/09/10/jc-chasez-leaves-jive-records/ left Jive]], and though he has not released any further solo records, he remains active in the industry as a songwriter and producer.
