One of the Earliest *NSYNC Performances (1995) at the High School of Lance Bass 

In 2024 if Chris old ass approaches my 14 year old son I am calling Hansen.

Pre-Adolescence: Justin: 14 Adolescence: JC: 19 Joey: 18 Lance: 16 Youth and Adulthood: Chris: 24

So right … they did say that on Hot Ones. Been watching old YT videos of their rehearsals in the 90’s and they worked their butts off!! This video brought a huge smile to me and a tug on my heart. 😃❤️

I was thinking the same thing.. it must hold a special place in their heart, taking back to the original moments

This song is what made everyone refer to them as NSYNC...JT's mom used all their initials to name the group after hearing their amazing harmonies

Well it wasn’t the 1950s for crying out loud.

@@bdjoh011 Old in this context meaning its one of their earliest performances, they weren't even signed to RCA yet.

@@Brandon-lw1wx oh hey there someone who has nothing to do with anything

It was the producers of the songs that picked who would sing lead. After the songs were pitched to the group and they decided which ones to record they would each sing the song too to bottom, the producer would choose which voice landed as close to their vision as possible. Justin and JC have the more Pop leaning vocals therefore they sang lead the most.

It's a shame. It was the same for Backstreet Boys. All good singers, but only 2 main singers for most of the band's career together. I believe Howie was actually their primary lead in their early development. The same formula. They went with the youngest (and babyish voice) and the most soulful and the leads.

@@travishunterbrown at some point joeys voice is somewhere in between off JC&JT. imo he has better control than JT.

@@kittygumdrop7442 chris & howie share the same issue, their voice lacks power. if comparing, i prefer chris voice.

@@mlee.a9002No. You are incorrect.

Right I never realized how good he sounded he has a beautiful voice

I love how Joey sings, u can hear him sounding beautiful in “it’s Christmas”

They're not all gay... what are you talking about? Only Lance came out Geez Timberlake looks a bit fruity but I’m pretty sure he is straightish

@@toosweet6046 I could be wrong but I think the person commenting was talking about coming out on stage, not coming out of the closet.

@@srcworm ohh that would make more sense...

@@srcworm Heeelp , this is so funny 😂😂

@@srcworm haha that's what I meant, thanks for clarifying

Omg! I love that "baby nsync" ❤️

They have, their in the studio and then they are going to tour

They are not going on tour lol but they do have a new song

In the case of "I Drive Myself Crazy" (North American version only), the first solo went to Chris. It's not *all* Justin and JC, just *primarily* Justin and JC.

The thing is all of them are talented, but unfortunately physical image is also important for marketing and business, and we know, JC and Justin were the good looking ones

@@ILOVEDAVIDCAVAZIS True. However, I think Justin is just by far the most talented one. He's like the Michael Jackson to the Jackson Four. It's just inevitable that he takes the spot light. Even with "I Thought She Knew", every other live performance is Justin at the helm. This is the first one I've seen them take turns.

@@enjoybrad81 I think JC was the most talented one, best dancer and best singer, even Justin has said that recently. However he’s a very shy person and just did not have the star power and charisma of Justin. Justin is a little ham and always has been.

​@@joepowers5885I agree

Yep barbershop quartet type origins

It really is. What a treat 😍

Absolutly, yes

That they did especially Justin Timberlake 😊😊😊😊.....

​@@barbcosgrove64Which you wouldn't think from this video that he'd have the most success

What? 😅they were famous in the mid 90s early two thousands some Still make music especially justin Timberlake 😅

@@strawberryme08 Woosh... some people need sarcasm to be explained🙄

@@strawberryme08 woosh

Yea it's bullshit that 3 of the members just became background singers and dancers later on!

Cause their voices dont do well for pop style. Jc and justin have the ideal voices especially justin. Chris is more of a falsetto guy thats cool for the background vocal and effects but not for the main lead and joey is a baritone or something doesn’t really have a lead verse voice. The same can be observed in backstreet boys where the main lead voices are brian and aj with occasional leads from nick

@@naegleriafowleri2230 who the hell do you think you are

@@daywalker3735 your daddy

@@naegleriafowleri2230 my daddy is a cop, so looks like you are going to jail

Stunning.

Ok

LOL🤣🤣 Good one!👍👍

unfortunately he was a underrated singer. He was sooo good! Voice, dance, and stage presence. Gosh, he was the whole package.

Nope. Hes the best singer in the group but JT has "IT" even from the start. If youre a true Nsync fan you know it.

@@maytee7079 Yes, preach! I love JC as much as the next person, but watch the Bye Bye Bye video and you can clearly see: JC has the stuff, but JT has *it*. It also doesn’t help that Schizophrenic was a dud.

@@nikig2382You do realize that when artists are signed with record labels, the executives generally dictate what and how an artist is going to produce right? With no monetary support from the label, plus not given the same fair opportunities to work with the best producers an artist may prefer, this can either kill or make their careers. Justin was dating Britney at the time so they opened up their wallets to whatever Justin wanted (and his aggressive stage mom helped him too). With JC, they treated him as if he was a new artist where they couldn’t trust him on his talent or worth (despite JC’s heavy contributions to No Strings Attached album which held the place as #1 album sold in a week for 15 years) and a lot of his music was picked for him….most were demos he wrote meant for other artists. The real JC came out from his never released album “The Story of Kate.” Back after MMC days ended, JC was already recording demos before he joined Nsync (mostly R&B, Jazz and Soul)….but at the time during early 90s nobody was supporting a “White R&B Artist.” He was literally discouraged from doing so simply because he was White! This despite knowing the fact every Nsync fan Knows JC’s god given talent lies primarily in R&B and ballads! One of the earliest songs Nsync ever performed when they have yet to land a label was written and recorded by JC when he was 18 titled “Give In To Me” (featured in a Jazz artist’s album), so don’t come with the bullshit that JC didn’t have the so called “It” factor. No normal fucken kid around that age is talented enough to write and vocally carry a song that well early in life! This so called “It” factor you folks preach of is marketing (from management) and narcissism (which Justin and a lot of so called “It” artists ooze of). In order to last as long as they do, a lot of these mediocre “talents” (Madonna, Bob Dylan, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Iggy Azalea, Taylor Swift, J-Lo, etc) perform blood sacrifices (in some cases literally). They don’t get to the top alone because of their special talents. The behind the scenes handlers play a big part (often with manipulation and subliminal messaging to the crowd because most people are stupid sheeple who are easy to manipulate) BUT the artists themselves also have to possess extreme narcissism or some other extreme personality defect (like BPD or ASPD or in a lot of cases Histrionic Personality Disorder). This is why we see a lot of these celebrities engage in high risks behaviors like drug abuse and have mental breakdowns. And you can bet all the top ones who have “made it” are the Cluster B Personality Class of folks who also have co-morbidities such as Bipolar disorder. It is extremely rare for good people to make it THAT big. They exist but are far and few.

Well then people should have bought his album.

I think think it's JT. He's not the better singer, but his got the confidence and has that it factor.

And insanely talented dancers too

under appreciated yes

I think that they are underrated in terms of their actual singing talent. I was a Backstreet fan back then (yes, I'm a guy but oh well), but I knew that N'Sync was the better group deep down. I put them up there close to Boyz 2 Men in terms of singing talent.

Underrated? They sold 50 million records worldwide. Their Greatest Hits album sold 600k copies without any promotion and any promotional single. and 3 years after their split. They received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame 16 years after their split. There are tons of people still waiting for their comeback. It's just that they haven't done anything since 2002. They are not underrated.

They’re neither under appreciated nor underrated. The Backstreet Boys are by far underrated. They were a more polished vocal group, but NSYNC was more popular bc of their dance moves.

Nt Mn nahh disagree

It was technically their first song, the first all 5 sang together

Is their best song

The star spangled banner was the first song they ever sang together. This was the second (first original song).

who dismissed them, their albums sale say otherwise

Lance 16, Chris 24, Joey 18, jc 19, Justin 14. This is from TikTok. I don’t know if it’s true

That sounds about right.

If Justin was 12 and 13 in the Mickey Mouse Club (that was in 1993 and 1994) he have 14 here in 1995 yes.

​@@Roma-SRyan I say it was Lou Pearlman but I might be Wrong though

And they sound EXACTLY the same 10 years later, 20 years later, and probably 30 years later (please reunite, at least for a song)...

Third*

Well said!👏🙂

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥👍🏼

Omg yes...I just watched that on repeat and went down a whole MMC rabbit hole of videos...I am the same age as JT and had a crush on him from then, watching when I was a kid... Still to this day and likely the rest of my life...lol

Different from Backstreet Boys, Joey and Chris didn’t care much about being the main one you know. Lance just never liked singing alone but in acapellas he really shines out.

They are a "parts" band. Much like Pentatonix today. Their vocals were layered on top of each other. So in songs like this you can really hear each vocal. There are a few others but this song was arranged this way for this purpose.

What is your instagram? I wanna see it

and he very much carried

Omg you feel old? Imagine the rest of us that were alive during that time....

Am I cuter ??
