Why would someone stay in a group, when they clearly want to evolve on their own? Justin made the right choice, if it wasn't convenient to the rest too bad. It's not a fairytale, it didn't have to have the best ending. Lance has every right to say what he felt. I think it's good for him. I highly doubt this taints in any shape or form Justin's reputation. People who disliked him already, dislike him even more now. Good for them. Artistically, and musically this will do nothing to him.
