R27: So here's what happened. That first video at OP was about 1995 or so, hence the horrible CGI. But it was meant for MTV Europe and a German audience. Hence the 90s Euro fashions. Remember, NSYNC made it big in Germany and Europe first then started getting big over here. When they started catching on here, they made the second video at R27 in 1997 or so. The boys already looked different due to aging, the CGI was already dated as computing power increased, and the Euro fashions were never gonna go over well here. So they did a second Americanized video. They all look much cuter in the second video.
That's it.

Britney also did the showcase scene and mall thing like Tiffany did to get people to hear her music. She worked at first and always sang live.
People love trashing her while praising Christina Aguilera or even Jessica Simpson or Mandy Moore when Britney worked to come up. She was the first of the blonde pop girl thing in the late 90s. The rest rode her coattails to the top. Christina May be the better singer but she was always the smaller star. Britney was always on top of her. Britney paved that way and Christina was only signed when she was after word got out that her MMC costar Britney got a contract and they heard some of the demos so her record label knew she could rival Britney and signed her.

After Christina got signed and JIVE records heard her voice they told Britney to sing with that âsex kitten babyâ voice to make her even more âuniqueâ and distinguishable since Christina had the larger better voice.
Most of Britneyâs BOMT shes singing in her more natural register. It was after that album that the studio creation came about and starting with Oops her voice began sounding like some computer generated sex kitten baby that growls.

I've seen some videos of Britney as a child: she could sing. I won't go down a rabbit hole, but I remember a video when she was still pretty fresh where she was working on writing a song at a piano, and she was singing a cappella (sp?). Her drug problems seemed to take over once she started hanging out with Paris Hilton (ditto, Lindsay Lohan). One some other thread, we talked about who in each boyband was probably used by their manager. I made the point that Kevin and Brian (who has a lovely voice) are cousins from Kentucky, and AJ and Howie knew each other for years, and seemed to have strong families. But Nick....poor Nick. A crappy family, but he seems relatively stable after everything.
NSYNC is split up, probably permanently. They seem to have all gone down separate paths. Backstreet Boys still perform together, and really seem to enjoy working together. I don't want to pay to see performers who hate their jobs.

Let's face it, Justin is paying for stepping on people's toes, using Britney, throwing Janet under the bus. His last album flopped, the black community still resents him for what he did to Janet, Britney fans hate how he treated Britney and then mocked her mental health later on, his Super Bowl performance was panned.
I think an N*Sync reunion is the only way to bring him some good buzz.

This was them in 2018. I don't know if they can pull off the dancing. Most are in their 40s, and Chris will be 50 in a few years.
I went to one of their concerts in the early oughts. It was cheesy. They don't need to bring back the mechanical bull riding. Just do a one time performance at the Grammys or I Heart Music some awards show.

Talking to Marc Maron on his WTF podcast recently, Shepard -- who also admitted to having more of a short fuse in his younger years -- surprisingly dished that Timberlake was the only one celeb he almost lost his cool with.
"As Ashton and I became friends, he said, 'You know, you can't -- if someone gets physical with you -- you're just going to have to take it,' which weirdly enough ⊠definitely the most famous bit on the show in all the years was the Punk'ing of Justin Timberlake. What made it so viral, I guess, was that he had cried at one point in it," Shepard explained. "And at the end of that bit, when Ashton comes out and says, 'You're on Punk'd' blah blah blah, and everyone is celebrating ⊠the bit is over, the cameras are off, and [Timberlake] keeps saying, 'Yeah, man. I was about to f*cking punch you.' And I was like, 'Hmm mmm, alright.'"
But then according to Shepard, Timberlake kept on going.
"'Dude, I was for real man, I was about to f*cking punch you out,' [Timberlake said]. And I'm like, 'OK, that's number two.' Iâm thinking, how many times can I hear this dude in his golf outfit -- he was wearing a golf outfit -- tell me he can punch me out before I'm just not going to be able to handle it?"
Thankfully, that's when Kutcher intervened.
"And God Bless Ashton. He goes, 'When were you going to punch him? Before or after you were crying?'"
Though according to an interview with Playboy in 2011, Timberlake claimed he was "so stoned" during the 2003 incident.
"I actually stopped smoking pot for nine to 10 months after [Punk'd]," Timberlake told the magazine. "I was so stoned. If you ask my friends, if theyâre honest they would probably say thatâs the only way to get me as dizzy as I was. What you didnât see from the episode, because it was a 45-minute affair cut down to 10 minutes, was me showing up and being like, 'What the f*ck are you people doing on my property? Get the f*ck off my property! Get the f*ck out of here!' Then they started rattling off my parentsâ address, and I was like, 'Holy s*it. Hold on a second.' I mean, everybody was got good on that show -- me probably the best."

Justin's looks and appeal peaked early. I thought he was cute with the frosted curly hair, tacky as it all was. He's OK looking now but there is no there there. Not someone to hold a meaty part on a big screen. His crooner swag act was hollow, as well.

I always felt for JC. I remember the short lived R&B girl group Blaque in the late 90s and they released a song called âBring It All To Meâ and it didnât go anywhere until JC did a version of the song then it was a radio hit.
Issue is it was just him and it was not promoted as âfeaturing JC or NSYNCâ but just featuring NSYNC lol.
His vocals are amazing on R&B. He has a soulful and versatile voice.

This 2002 song did not become a hit, but the instrumental break DID become the theme music for the 2003 TLC series, 'Clean Sweep', one of the many home shows in the wake of 'Trading Spaces.'

R156 "As If"! Damn. I probably haven't heard that song since it came out, but I remembered it the moment I hit play. Crazy how music does that. I don't remember Joey Fatone being in it. Blaque fucked with the NSYNC boys.
R157 I remember "Blowin' Me Up" being somewhat popular because it was associated with the film Drumline. I definitely remember the video getting play. But it doesn't look like it did much for his solo career at all. A minor flash in the pan.

Where did Aqua fit into the 90s/00s pop scene? They weren't pushed on the Disney Channel like a lot of other acts, so I'm wondering if they had more niche appeal. I wasn't just a singles kid with this band. I had two of their CDs and listened to and enjoyed all the songs.
