Top 10 Moments


To go along with the 10 year subject.... I have decided to list my top 10 favorite moments with *NSYNC.... see if you remember!

These are in no order, but i will try to save my all time favorites for the top 3............ here we go.....

10. Nominated for "Music of My Heart" , we got to perform at the Oscars and of course got beat out by Phil Collins! But hey the gift basket rocked!!

9.Don't know about favorite but memorable for sure is when we did Saturday Night Live. Growing up watching the show, you dream of actually being on it one day.... when the chance came we had an amazing time. The most memorable part though was when i broke my ankle doing a stupid sketch. Not Bye Bye Bye, but freakin' Super Size It!! LOL But i still had an amazing time playing jokes on the cast with Cheri Oteri (did not spell that right at all!)

8. Detroit, Michigan.... Silverdome. the first stadium we ever played. The moment the lights hit me , saw the sea of people, and heard the noise that came along with it.... i had chill bumps the whole entire show!!!

7. Pleasure Island 1995. Our first ever show together. It was at the beach club during the day.. and thanks to the MMC we actually had fans there! We taped that performance and that is what got us signed to a record company a year later!

6. In 1998 Usher had to jump off the Janet Jackson Velvet Rope tour, and who did she replace him with? Um, us of course...That was our first break to show what we could do live. Thanks Ms Jackson if your nasty!

5. Disney Special. Disney has played a crucial role in our career from day 1. MMC of course helped alot, and then Disney Channel decided they would take a chance on an unknown band for an hour special. After airing the thing 1,000,000 times!!, it catapulted us into the music industry.

4. Tied for #4 is MTV awards 2001... we left with a butt load of moon men and got to perform with Michael Jackson.. and managed to keep it a secret even to MTV until we went live! And it is was VERY hard for me to keep that secret!! Also Superbowl Tampa... I think it was the best half-time show ever! It was not boring at all. Then you add Aerosmith, Britney, Nelly, and Mary J!! Come on!! What a night!

3. The week of March 21, 2000. No Strings Attached released and the rest was history! No way did I think we would sell a million copies in a day and 2.4 mill in a week! With the way sales are today.. i have a feeling I can be proud of that one for a while to come. I guess everyone was really bored that week and needed to listen to some new music! Thanks for choosing US that week!

2. Germany 1998.... I Want You Back was released for the first time. I think it was in between Berlin and some other city that we heard our song for the first time on radio! It is something about radio that makes your song sound soooooo much better! We were flipping out and I will never forget that moment! Europe as a whole was amazing to us.. gave us our start and helped us perfect our craft.

Honorable Mention.. lol... HBO Special. One of the most beautifully shot shows of ours.. and gave a chance to broaden our fan base. Everyone was talking about how many Emmys it was going to when HBO ... but in the end it got 0 noms! So that was a very anticlimatic ending.

1. And my favorite moments have been meeting so many people and being able to share this experience with my family and friends. They have enjoyed this just as much as I have. I feel like if i am lucky enough to be able to do what I do... the closest people in my life should be able to enjoy it too. From award shows, to tours... I have enjoyed having my friends and family there every step of the way! And they are the very ones who help me stay who I really am. Thank you!

Thank you for letting me be nostalgic for a minute. I would love to hear what some of your favorite moments have been also. I know I have left many out that probably would have made the list! But, this was good for doing it in 10 minutes!

I think it was in between Berlin and some other city that we heard our song for the first time on radio!< Micha, is Lance right about the date of airplay for "I Want You Back"? I sure thought it was being played on the radio while we were there for the 1997 German tour--I know their CD was already in record stores in Germany, but maybe it wasn't getting airplay yet. Thanks Robyne, this was a fun post. Sure took me back a few years too! -- Lynn, 18:14:56 12/03/05 Sat [1]

[> Micha, thanks for posting that! What a great trip down memory lane. I found his myspace profile. :) That's really cool. I LOVE Myspace! haha I can't believe it's been 10 years! Amazing... -- Brooke, 02:08:12 12/04/05 Sun [1]

[> [> I also love, love, love, love MySpace! It helps me keep in contact with friends, keep up with my favorite bands, and most of all discover tons of new music. I'm always surprised when celebs run their own pages and have contests and reply to messages. I'm not a big Pumkins fan, but one of the first people's blogs I read was Billy Corgan's because he was telling his very personal life story through his page...quite an interesting read! I've recently found BT's page, and enjoy his very open and educated blog writing. Brooke, you may like Bryce(Lifehouse) and Chris Kirkpatrick's pages that they made for fans(although Lance blogs and bulletins a lot more than Chris). -- Janelle, 13:05:12 12/04/05 Sun [1]

[> Yeah, alot of good things happened in the last 10 years. Be sure to go to your local bookstore and grab Billboard Magazine, Dec. 17th issue, on Dec. 10th! There's a big surprise! Go get 'em. ::grin smile:: -- Busta, 02:13:30 12/04/05 Sun [1]

[> *Thinking* Well, Lance is wrong. I want you back was first released in Germany in 1996 (!). I think it was in October. It must have been 1996 coz TUMH was released in Feb 1997 and HWG in May. At that tiime they got so much airplay...But there was also a 1998-IWYB- release. That was in the UK. :) Ah, feels good that he has good memories of Germany :) So do we here have of *NSYNC. *Deep memorable moment* -- Micha, 02:59:31 12/05/05 Mon [1]

[> [> So, I Want You Back had already been on the air for a year before the "For the Girl" tour in October of 1997? I knew that 'NSync's music was playing on the radio when we were there during that tour, Micha. It was several months later, in early 1998, before we first heard I Want You Back on radio in the US (maybe that's what Lance is thinking about)--and even then it was on one of those late night "battle of the bands" kind of shows, where it had to win the most call-ins against another song to stay on the air. Of course, it won easily, but soon after that the big RCA publicity machine was in full gear and 'NSync, already popular in Germany, was on its way to becoming known in the US. The MMC Concert, which was taped in May 1998 (while Dax was still recovering from jaw surgery) and I think first broadcast in July. That concert helped them enormously, and that fall when they got the Janet Jackson opening gig, the deal was sealed and the rest is history. :-) -- Lynn, 06:35:54 12/05/05 Mon [1]

[> [> [> Yep, it was quite a while on air before the tour. And actually, the "For the Girl" tour was already their second or third tour. They first were on tour as support act with DJ Bobo and then on their own in early 1997 but without band. I must admit that I wasn't a fan of them back then - I started being that around May 1997. But I have some articles and stuff from the very beginning from friends going back to 1996. And I want you back was definitely released that early :) And then came the MMC concert and so on and so on...Ah, the good ol' times. They were fun! -- Micha, 02:36:14 12/06/05 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, Micha! I knew that the first tour with the live band was October of 1997, because that was when the boss signed on. They were SO excited to have real musicians backing them, and not just doing track shows like they did for the first year. I also remember how excited everyone was when they saw the plans for that first "big stage" setup. Dax came home after that practice when it was revealed, and sketched it out for us, ramps and all. It was his first bigtime tour too. Now that stage would look so tiny compared to some of the huge productions of their last few tours. It was a sweet, innocent time, before lawsuits and mega-fame (with all the trappings and hangers ons that go with it). I'm really glad we experienced the early part--and the wonder of it all. -- Lynn, 06:25:36 12/06/05 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Thanks for sharing those memories you had with the boys especially the opportunity you got was worth it! :) I've always fascinated with how these stage production/tour works! When they had a stadium tour, I got an opportunity to go in SoundCheck Pass (including free tickets... Chris' friends offered it to me) and I was lucky to sit few seats away from the boys and I watched whole the stage production how they were put together. I enjoyed observing the stage. It was huge and lot of work putting together. Amazing. -- Busta, 23:10:58 12/06/05 Tue [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> I absolutely agree. Those first stage(s) was/were so sweet and tiny. But for me one of the best tours they ever gave. Meaning: it was just all so different from those HUGE productions. Which were fantastic as well of course! I mean, they were one of the reasons why I went to the US to see the shows ;) I am also very, very happy about having experienced those early days. Everything was so different: from stage productions to the guys...Ah, and memories are also a wonderful thing! :) They've come a long way, baby. And so did da boss of course. Remembering Dax on that stage and all the others from the band...I could go on and on with those old, wonderful memories but I guess I should quit it now before you all fall asleep, lol. :) -- Micha, 02:37:26 12/07/05 Wed [1]

[> My favorite was the VMA where they performed with the TV screens that had pictures of their faces. For some reason I always remember that one. -- lil, 22:47:12 12/06/05 Tue [1]


[ Edit | View ]
[> [> Were those done in comic book style illustrations, Lil? If so, I know the artist. Also, how was your visit to Orlando? I think our weather was pretty good. -- Lynn, 22:59:56 12/06/05 Tue [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> I don't remember exactly, but I know that they were dancing behind these TV monitors that had their faces on them and the faces were moving. -- lil, 16:51:15 12/13/05 Tue [1]

[> That is so cool. Thank you for the post. By the way, what is Lance's myspace username? -- Rae-Anne, 22:27:20 12/08/05 Thu [1]

[> [> see inside -- Busta, 02:44:32 12/09/05 Fri [1]

It was very easy sn... it's his name but inverse the name. ;)

[> [> [> I tried to do that and I still can't find it. If you don't want to post it here, you could email me it. My email is precious_angel837@yahoo.com -- Rae-Anne, 06:05:05 12/09/05 Fri [1]

[> The appreciation ad printed on Billboard Magazine is officially out in the stores! Be sure to get a copy of Billboard Magazine, December 17, 2005 issue. It's on page 7. :) -- Busta, 00:13:44 12/12/05 Mon [1]
