- Some pretty good dance moves. - I like the sick dance movies
- '90s boy bands seem much better than today's boy band.
- I was thinking of all the bands that my mom listens to.
I was, like, okay, we already did the Backstreet Boys.
I know who they are. We-- they even reacted to me.
- (Jayka) I love how passionate they are.
- (Kevin) We are very passionate. - (Nick) We're very overdramatic.
- (Brian) You have to be passionate to be a boy band.
- I was like, wait, is it NSYNC?

- I never planned on listening to them,
but I guess I'm glad I got it out of the way.
- You can appreciate it in a slightly ironic
and slightly unironic way at the same time.
- NSYNC is nothing without Joey Fatone!
He's got that coolness about him.
- (FBE) So, those were all songs by the boy band NSYNC.
- Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed that.
- NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, just main staples of the '90s.
- (FBE) So, we're talking about them today,
because this year marks the 20th anniversary of them forming
all the way back in 1998. - Oh, wow.
I thought they were '80s or '70s.
- (FBE) Before we talk a little bit more about them,
not too long ago, the teens reacted to the Backstreet Boys,
and we asked if they could figure out each of their names
by just looking at their faces. And so, we're gonna do the same
with NSYNC. - (laughs) Oh, no.
- I think I'll do better than I did with the Backstreet Boys.
- (FBE) So, there's Chris, Joey, Lance, JC, and of course, Justin.
- Classic white boy names.
- Let's do this. I think I'll do all right.
- (FBE) Here's the first person. Who's this?
- That is JC.
- Possibly Joey?
- What's a good dreadlock name?
Maybe that's Lance. - Yeah. Everyone's Joey.
- I can see him being a JC.
- I wanna say that's either JC or Chris?
I'll say that's JC.
- JC. Really edgy name.
- JC. I don't know. (laughs) - Maybe JC.
- (FBE) Here's the next person. Who's this?
- He looks like a Chris. - I'm gonna go with Chris.
He looks like a Chris. - Joey?
- Is that Justin? - His eyes scream Justin.
I'm probably wrong already. - He looks like a Lance.
- That looks like Lance.
- Let's go with Lance, because I really don't know.
- That's Lance. That's Lance.
- (FBE) Next up. Who's this? I'm gonna go with Chris.
- I'm getting either a Chris or a Lance vibe.
Oh, I have to go with Lance.
- Oh crap. Okay. He looks like a Chris.
- Lance, 'cause I feel like Lance is the type of name
where you could dye your hair. - Say that's Chris.
I know for a fact you're really disappointed in me,
'cause I'm getting all of these wrong.
- That's Joey. It's all guessing at this point.
- That's Joey, I know for sure. I hope.
- That's Joey. He was on "Hannah Montana."
- That's definitely Joey. My main man, Joey.
He's the coolest guy out of all of 'em.
- (FBE) All right, next up, who's this?
- That's... Joey. - That's Justin. I don't know why.
- He's gonna be the Lance. The way he's dressed
maybe screams Lance.
- Chris, because that's the last option I have besides Justin.
- He's a Joey character for sure.
- Joey. It was the last choice, 'cause I knew Justin
was gonna be the fifth one. - Joey.
- There's only room for Chris and Justin,
and I know that's not Justin. - He looks somewhat like Justin,
but at the same time, there's so many members
in this band that just look like different versions
of other members in the band, that I'm not 100% sure.
I'm gonna go with JC.
- (FBE) And here's picture number five.
- What's my last one? Joey? Okay, yeah, he's-- this works.
- Joey, my main man, Fatone! - I guess that's JC.
- My homeboy Justin. - Who dat? That's Justin.
- That's Justin. - That one has to be Justin.
- Yeah, that one's Justin. Okay, that's one!
- (FBE) First up, this was Chris.
(buzzer) - Aww. Okay. Wrong.
- He doesn't like a Chris! - (giggles) We're not doing so well.
- The next one has to be Lance.
If it's not, then I got all of them wrong.
- (FBE) This one is Lance.
(ding) - (softly) Yes! [inaudible]
- That's Lance?! - I was gonna put him as Lance,
but then I was like, no, Justin works.
- Hey, I got that one right! - Oh! I got Lance!
- (FBE) This is Joey. - No way.
- Ahh! (buzzer)
- Uh-huh, I know Joey. - That's Joey.
- That's definitely Joey.
- (FBE) This is JC.
(buzzer) - What the heck?
- I got JC wrong. - Whoops. (chuckles)
- 40% score!
- (FBE) And this is Justin. - Is it actually?
- (FBE) Yeah, it's-- - 'Cause that does not look
like him. - It would've been really bad
if I got all of them wrong. - I just put Joey for everyone,
so it didn't matter. (chuckles) - That's Timberlake, right?
- (FBE) That's Justin Timberlake. - Oh, now I feel really dumb. (laughs)
- Technically, we failed. But it's okay! It's okay.
We got the majority. - I knew Justin and Joey,
but I actually guessed Lance.
I'm pretty good at this guessing game, I guess. I guess. (clicks tongue)
- (FBE) So, NSYNC is considered one of the best-selling boy bands
of all time, having sold over 70 million records
despite just releasing three albums.
- What?! No way.
- They only did three albums? Are you serious?!
I feel like they did more.
- (FBE) While NSYNC has had a number of hits over the years,
for some people in today's generation,
they're more remembered for launching the career
of Justin Timberlake, one of the biggest artists
and entertainers in the world today. - Arguably.
- (FBE) For people your age, do you guys think of NSYNC
as its own entity or is that just the group
that brought us JT? - I think both,
'cause there are definitely songs that I heard that I think,
oh, this is NSYNC. I'm not thinking, like,
oh, this is a Justin Timberlake song.
- I just know of NSYNC. I only think of it as them.
- Younger kids, they don't necessarily know about that.
They don't always listen to older music.
So, they'd know Justin Timberlake.
- Even as someone who was not alive during that time,
I still remember NSYNC as NSYNC.
- I just think of Justin Timberlake, you know?
I don't really think of NSYNC, because how could I really--
why would I care?
- I always saw NSYNC as kind of, like,
oh, that was the boy band that Justin Timberlake was in.
- It's pretty much always the group that made this person popular.
You kind of feel bad for the rest of the members,
'cause they don't get really enough credit.
- (FBE) So, finally, like many groups that have split up,
NSYNC has reunited for guest appearances
and small little performances over the years.
However, they've not made any new music since 2002.
Do you think that people would actually be excited
for new music from NSYNC or is this a group
that 100% should stay in the past?
- I don't think they should remain in the past.
- They should release some music. There's fans out there
that still wanna listen to their music.
- They should stick with singing their old songs,
because that's what everybody knows.
- I feel like they would just stay in the past.
They're just kind of, like, nostalgia.
- They're famous for being in that band.
And what else do they have to do? They might as well come back
and just spend some time writing music together.
- If they did a brand new album, people would like the idea of it,
but I don't think as many people would listen.
- Boy bands are actually still pretty popular,
so I definitely think that they would be pretty well-off.
It feels like a product of the '90s,
but I think that it could be even more successful.
