BSB and NSYNC never were rivals. The media and the fans made it sound like they were. I met Joey Fatone once and asked him and he told me some of the members of both bands are really good friends with each other and there was no competition for attention. I'm proud to be a fan of Both!
Backstreet Boys is the most successful boyband! And take note, they are still making music now, so they are already in the music business for 20++ years. Backstreet Boys forever ❤️ ktbspa
speaking of backstreet boys music i think its the fans that make backstreet boys big around the world and lou whats his name howie must be doing something right in 2019 recording their own music on indepened record lable and what next for howie to do he could be more fun and be a manager of backstreet boys i become a fan in 1993 when backstreet boys crush on the interent with their own music/fans the only boyband that i knew of that to have fans on interent
I was always team Backstreet Boys they have better songs and harmonies Nsync didnt last long anyway BSB still making platinum records and selling out arenas after 26 years together. BSB Legends indeed
True so its really prove that Nsync is only a copy cut of BSB and they lucky because of that aone gig that bsb turn down they got thier chance they should thank bsb for that...
im 40, and I'm a proud fan of both!! They are absolutely different, they have never been rivals, and everyone who knows them separately will confirm my words!! They are the blast by themselves!! And if NSYNC comes back, they would make a triumphal blast from the past😇😇😇 God bless them all!!!
im not sure how/when NSNYC they break up forever when backstreet boys went their own way in music howie must be doing something right as a manager of backstreet boys in 2013 backstreet boys recored their new album on a their own indepened recored lable
lou who? speaking of contracts if they signed real 50/50 contracts manager gets 40% of the money the rest goes to singers lou made up fake recored deal with murcey records lou get 90% of the money so lou can make or break boy bands but the boy bands don't make real money from the music did you know backstreet boys already have fans on interent in 1993 a hand full of songs recored on murcarey records its the same fans that make backstreet boys lager the life
I actually subscribe to RUclips premium just to watch that and it was well worth it! Lance did a great job compiling the interviews and getting some lesser known information from all sides. It’s well worth the watch. I thought both bands were very talented back in the day but I was definitely an *NSYNC girl. It’s just crazy how they were pitted against each other all the time.
@@Annamarie40985 NSYNC break up for ever around the same time as backstreet boys went their own way in music and stode the test of music time howie came with a better bright idea in 2013 backstreet boys recored new music on their indepened recored lable in 2019/20 howie music doing something right as a manager of backstreet boys doing more music/live shows
Agreed, each and every member of BSB was attractive and could sing. *NSYNC on the other hand, I feel like only JC and Justin were the faces and voices of the group.
Nsync should just go on tour. They don't need Justin. They could get by with JC on lead vocals, and then maybe borrow Jordan Knight or Matt Goss to sing Justin's parts. I just wanna hear JC sing these songs again 🙏
@@royshaguillena9102 It's not just about high notes. The reason why it was always JC & Justin singing lead, is that they were the only two in the band with actual solo voices. They had very distinkt vocals, which shines through easily. Chris & Joey just don't have the x factor to pull that off. Joey sounds like a high school musical, and Chris is too nasal. So they definitely need someone else, with the same capacity as Justin, to trade leads with JC.
@@MichaelHolmgaard I think Chris and Joey also has a very good solo voices and can compliment JC's voice.. ppl just did not see that because they were not given that chance to show off their solo voices esp Joey..when I heard him doing solos and adlibs on their song "On the Line" with Mandy Moore, Bbmak etc, it made me think why they didn't gave Joey a chance to do more solos in NSYNC... he can belt on high notes so well... Justin cannot even belt on high notes, he always do falsettos to reach high notes...I think it's time for Chris and Joey to show what they got together with JC..and you are right, they don't need Justin
@@royshaguillena9102 I get that tehy can helt highh notes. But that's not all it takes to sin lead in the kind of band Nsync was. Joey & Chris have good backup voices, but og they sang solo, people would tire of them after 5 minutes. Singing lead is about having that voice with something extra. A voice that is recognisable and shines through. Even in the harmonies, the backbone of Nsync was JC & Justin. It was their voiced that melted together perfectly. Justin wasn't a skilled singer, but the volume he had in that falsetto was something you don't see often. Then you have JC, who Max Martin mentioned as the greatest male singer he ever worked with! That's what it takes to sing solo. Not just a good voice, but a recognisable voice. It's just like in Backstreet Boys, where Brian Littrell was pretty much the lead singer back in the day, while Howie was put in the backseet. Sure, Howie had a good voice, but he sounded like a ton og others singers in the industry. However, Brian had the x factor. The unique voice you get like once every 20 years in the pop industry. That's how it works
BSB FOREVAAAAAH!! Gaaah! I miss my grade school, high school & college days 😭😭😭😭 I’m now 38 geeesh 😭 We’ve got it going on for years! Ah ah ahh aooww! Hahaha yaaas!
Both are awesome in their own right in my Opinion Bsb had staying power and experience by the time Nsync hit the scene...but Nsync had expertly arranged Harmonies and their own youthful/energetic vibes.
I never was a hater of any of these people and it’s a lot of work to hate in general. BSB had tremendous talent but *NSYNC...I did like their dancing and they had connected with me a little bit more. I think it is sad how they were pitted against each other so often because each had their own niche in the music industry even though they shared the same group of people in a lot of ways.
Longevity and success speaks for itself. N'sync ran out of steam because they were more focused on their image and their brand versus letting each member shine individually. They also kept the focus on JC and Justin (sonically and visually) while the rest of the band faded into the background, kind of like Nicole with the Pussycat Dolls. Their chemistry was off too, you can tell they didn't bond in real life and were a packaged pop product of the era. It's evident in their old interviews. BSB had the formula and the talent. The fact BSB is still making music to this day is enough to shut down this argument FOR GOOD. BSB won. Periodt lol 😎👍
While I agree that NSYNC's bond wasn't as strong as the one Backstreet Boys have, I don't think it's fair to say it was fake or that they didn't care about each other cause they did
this is the most wrong argument i’ve ever read in my life. if you want to tear down another group to boost up your own, at least include correct info. delusional
I watched this boy band documentary in the late 90's on MTV. Before the fall of Fat Pearlman. The moment I saw that gluttonous nightmare my young mind immediately thought, CON MAN. How could adults not see this...
I remember watching the same documentary on MTV too. I gave a nervous chuckle when they introduced him as the 6th member. I thought they were joking bruh wtf
I was a very little girl when both bands came out so I loved them both but my house was more of a NSYNC household because I had a crush on J.C. and my older sister and friends all loved NSYNC better. But by time I was 9 I loved both. 😄
Though both boybands were rivals , but founder of both boybands was one , where he ended himself in prison and passing away in prison . After the founder's death , both the boy bands decided to publish his documentary , revealing each and every reality .
You forgot Jodeci who Nsync actually they stole that singing in the rain video from that abc is crediting as their idea. Soul 4 real and Hi-five. In the 80's/90's the music scene was so segregated that it was easy for white artists to steal creations from black artists while the original true artists labored in relative obscurity. Madonna stole her entire like a Virgin wardrobe from Jody Watley. I bet no one knows who she is. Everyone knows Maddona.
It was a great documentary! Lance did a wonderful job compiling the interviews and getting the information from a relatively non-biased group of people. Obviously this man did a lot of things wrong, Lou Perlman, but this documentary really does shed light on the entirety of what happened. I recommend it!
To be honest they're both very talented groups that impacted the 90s, if only nsync would reunite but never say never, also comparing them is just silly because both have their own talents and different sounds that are still remembered to this day, it's just safe to say that both nsync and bsb are very talented groups with their own styles end of story
I met Lou when I was 12, I am glad I didn't work for him, was offered a blimp job later in years from him, my family knew him since he was about 17 as a blimp groupie, my brother was in NY with him in the helicopter company and my dad was listed as Treasurer for Transcontinental Airlines, as he tried to use as a scapegoat for charges after my dad was dead . I was contacted by orlando Sentinel, Radr online and the FBI after all this
BSB and NSYNC never were rivals. The media and the fans made it sound like they were. I met Joey Fatone once and asked him and he told me some of the members of both bands are really good friends with each other and there was no competition for attention. I'm proud to be a fan of Both!

@BNO97 ! if they are irrelevant the what about nysnc
Exactly ... lmfao
He really said he was a member of the group lol
Yes,he did
He pay himself as the members of the group. He also pay himself as the manager of the group. Which means he pay himself more than the group members.

They **are** and always will be **the** most successful boy band. According to statistics at least.
They are the best selling boy band of all time
Actually they ARE the most successful, They're still the best selling boy band. Look it up.
Backstreet Boys all the way!!!!
Lou’s neck tells the whole story
I grew up on both groups elementary SCHOOL 90s to 2000s backstreet boys came first and nsync second
True
Exactly

Yeah. True.
Lou Pearlman was the 6th man.... THOSE contracts they signed was crazy

the rest goes to singers
lou made up fake recored deal with murcey records
