5-1+1+1=Nsync Reunion?

[Terrence Jamal]

How would everyone feel about Nsync adding a new member to replace Justin if he does not want to get back with the group? Destiny's Child did it, 3LW did it, New Edition did it, TLC is doing it, why can't Nsync? They started with 5, take out Justin, add a new member, do an album, and maybe Justin will want to come back making it a new 6 member group. HoweverI think the name should remain Nsync no matter what happens. Nsync is how the world knows them, with the omission of Justin, they will be no different to the world. Annie Mae Bullock divorced Ike, and fought to keep the name Tina Turner, b/c that's the name the world knew her as. So Nsync should be able to keep their name even if the new guy's name ends with an N or not. I don't care if the guys name is Boris, they are still Nsync...

Then maybe like TLC is doing, they can do a reality show to pick their new member... But then again, that may make people associate them with fake groups like O-Town for being on a reality show... (I'm topic jumping, but why is O-Town considered to be less than, but Diddy's Da Band is passable as a valid group when both were founded and formed under the same contrived pretenses)

Lol, I'm just posting up a storm today... You can just tell it is my day off. lol

[LA Lady]

Absolutely not. If anything, it should just be the four guys. I definitely think they should keep the name NSYNC - particularly considering that it never really fit their last letters of their last names, what with Lance and all that... lol...

I think the four part harmony would sound just fine. They could tour, and have Justin do guest appearances when and where feasible, if he were even interested. If not, that's ok, too. But I think it would be just fine. It would really mix up the shows, because they would have to rearrange vocals on all the songs, which would sort of give it a fresh new twist during live shows.

Definitely would make it interesting. But I really think that they need to NOT add another member. Just my thoughts. I'd rather see the group end than have them add a new one. That spot should always be reserved for Justin to return if he ever were to choose to do so.

[HipHopChristian]

I think they should try doing it as 4 members... but if it doesnt work out find a 5th member. Frankly, I think they'd be fine without Justin anyway.. vocally.

[LoisFatone]

I don't think they'd need to replace him. JC's fully capable of taking over as the only lead. But if they still wanted another voice for lead, let it be Joey's chance to shine. Justin will always be a part of Nsync, whether or not he quits, but his voice isn't so necessary that they would need to replace. JC and Joey have stronger voices and could absolutely take over without any problems.

[grace701]

I'm sorry but they don't need to do that. Especially trying to promote themselves by making a reality tv show on how to get a new member. I think that's cheap. I, honestly, do not respect TLC now for trying to replace a deceased member. T and C can do just fine without L. They can sing looove songs.

[misty twilight]

I agree. I think the four of them would do a fantastic job, and if Justin felt they were worthy of his guest appearance once in a while, then great. But I don't see the need for another member. Not at all.

[pinky]

No need. JC and Joey have the best voices in the group, anyway.

Besides, if they were to replace Justin, then he'd be out permanently. I don't think the other 4 would do that to him, even if they are mad at him right now. It's not their style to put the screws to another member of the group.

[Just_Me_Here]

If Justin does'nt want to do it anymore and the other 4 do, then they should. Like someone else said, it would be interesting to change the vocal arrangements up and whatnot.

Now, would it sell? My gut feeling is no. But, if it made the 4 of them happy and they were proud of what they did, it does'nt matter. I'm sure they would'nt be playing stadiums, but they could take the core Nsync audience and work from there aiming for an AC audience.

It might be better if the 4 of them go ahead w/o Justin. If he ever did come back and record with the group, all the focus would always be on him anyway. As "Sync" they could start from scratch almost as a new group.

**I don't think they should go under the name Nsync though. Without Justin, it's just Sync. Pretending to be Nsync with only 4 of them would'nt feel/seem right. **

[misty twilight]

I still think they should go by *NSYNC as that is what they are known as. Just because one of the members has chosen to do his own thing for a while, does not make the group any less than it was.

And if they did drop the N, why does it have to be the first one? Why not go by *NSYC?

[HipHopChristian]

Are the other 4 mad at him?

I heard on the radio this morning that Justin actually made an official statement or something that he wasn't going back to the group. I haven't been on LD for a while... so, anything I should know?.. lol.

And I was thinking about *NSYC this morning too, inlovewjc.. lol

[pinky]

There was a story in People and the NY Daily News that Justin told the others that he wasn't interested in recording with them again, and that the others were pissed. Since then, there's been an interview with Joey in which he said that wasn't true, but when was the last time you ever heard Joey say anything that might make someone else look bad, especially one of the other guys?

[NeeCee]

Oh no! I think they would do just fine w/ 4 of them! It would be strange w/o Justin, however, stranger w/ a new member! JC & Joey can handle the leads just fine! I like their voices better then JT's anyways

[JRT's#1Buckeyes]

I, honestly, do not respect TLC now for trying to replace a deceased member. T and C can do just fine without L. They can sing looove songs.


Amen to that. :noway:
Isn't INXS doing a reality show to replace Michael H. also?

[LA Lady]

I would bet my eyeteeth that the remaining members of NSYNC would never do a reality show to bring in a new member. It's not their style. I just could never see it happening, no matter how desperate things ever got.

I also believe that the guys would never replace Justin. But what do I know?

[SparkleHugs]

if you look how sucessful all those groups were after the new person i wouldnt really advise it.

except destinys child, but they had like 4 different girls in a short amount of time. so no one ever raelly got attached to one girl in that spot.

[pinky]

I agree. It's just too O-town, which is simply too LOU.

[I Love Oreos]

Wha..? TLC is doing another album? I didn't know that. That's weird because T-Boz said on VH1 that there would never be another TLC album and that Left Eye could never be replaced.

As for the NSync question: Whoa, I'd hate to see those album sales. That would be embarrasing. :blueeek:

If NSync did that, that would make them just a bunch of fakes...and if there's one thing I can't stand, it's fake people. I've always respected them for keeping it real and not pretending to be anything other than what they are. The group wouldn't be the same w/o any of the guys..and that includes Justin, unfortunately for the people who dislike him.

[pinky]

Going back to the Destiny's Child analogy, they continued after Beyonce booted several members, one of whom co-wrote a Grammy-winning song. Are they now officially a "fake" group?

The guys always said, "There's no 'I' in *NSYNC." So no one member is more important than another. However, FOUR members might just be more important than one, and entitled to keep the name even if one member chooses not to record with the group at the present time.

[misty twilight]

Bravo! Well said, pinky. Many bands have dropped members, or added members and continued to be as successful, if not more successful than before. Look at Iron Maiden, Genesis, Van Hagar...I mean Van Halen :o

[SparkleHugs]

Van Hagar...I mean Van Halen :o



:roll: :laugh: :hah:

[NeeCee]

i agree with you pinky!

[princessKAT]

Bravo! Well said, pinky. Many bands have dropped members, or added members and continued to be as successful, if not more successful than before. Look at Iron Maiden, Genesis, Van Hagar...I mean Van Halen :o

if I'm not mistaking I think the Supremes may have done that as well....

it's quite possible to do..I just think that if NSYNC did it, they'd have to have a hell of a cd put together to pull in the numbers that they want

[*nsyncablemom]

I think it should be just the four of them and Justin can tour with them as the opening act......















cos everyone needs time to go to the restroom, or get a drink, or arrive late, or something :roll:

Oh. My. God.



That's the funniest think I've read in here for a very long time!!!!

[LA Lady]

Aw man, now guys... we shouldn't really blame JT for not wanting to go back. At least I don't. He's had a successful first solo CD, he's doing an amazing movie, with amazing actors - and you all KNOW the movie AND the acting skills will be perfect and on the right level. It's Justin - he doesn't do ANYTHING halfway.

I can understand how he wouldn't want to go back. Not because he hates it, but because it's just no longer HIM, or the direction he wants to go. And mostly, because he's probably used to making all his own decisions now. It's tough to go back to having to compromise with 4 others. Plus, it's also probably an ego thing.

I don't think we should bash Justin for not returning (wow, did I change my tune or what?). I don't think we should bash the others if they choose to go it alone. I think we should celebrate that they did so well together, and hope that they do just as well separately, too.

I don't think they would replace him either. But, that's just me.

And as for the reality tv thing? After hearing about the Backstreet Boys reality tv show coming up......anything's possible. If they (Sync) stick with Johnny, I would'nt put it past them.

That's another question. Do you think Sync would stay with Johnny? Do you think Johnny would even **want** them?

If Justin does'nt want to do it anymore he has that right. But the bottom line (for me) is that there's better ways to put an end to the whole thing. Don't string people along and then drop a bomb.

[pinky]

I'm not bashing Justin (any more than I always have, anyway :wink: ), I just thought *N-mom's comment was hilarious!

[LA Lady]

LOL Pinky, you crack me up.

JMH, I understand what you mean, but that's not only Justin that's doing that. That's all 5 of them that refuse to give an official statement to the fans. Just playing devils advocate here.

;)

[Just_Me_Here]

;)

Ok, I'll bite. ;)

How I see it is this:

The 4 of them (Joey, JC, Lance, Chris - a.k.a. Sync) both believed Justin when he said "I'm coming back" as well as supported him in his solo ventures. They were all pretty vocally supportive of Justin.

Now, they have a meeting (fully expecting Nsync to still be intact) and have Justin say "I'm **not**coming back".

What does that make Sync look like? Chumps for supporting him and believing he would keep his word.

MANY Nsync fans saw this coming. How could Sync not? I'm sure it's due to the fact that there is personal relationships between them all and sometimes when you are closest to the situation you don't see clearly. The people on the outside can see things much clearer.

I knew the writing was on the wall the first time I saw the "Pop" video with Justin's beatboxing extravaganza at the end.

I think the reason Sync is'nt saying anything right now is because they are trying to figure out what to do. If they say "Justin screwed us" they'll get sympathy for a little bit, but in the end people will remember them as chumps. I think right now they are figuring out how to go about things. Do they want to record as a 4-some? If so, how do they say Justin left us w/o looking like chumps for believing him/supporting him.

If they want to record again as a 4-some they have to present an image that they are'nt victims, but are simply making the best out of the situation and soldiering on.
That takes some thought/planning.

NOBODY is going to take them seriously if they play the "Wo is me" thing.

::shrugs:: That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. ;)

[misty twilight]

I think Johnny would stay with *NSYC, they have built up a loyal relationship. That I have no doubt of.

I'm sorry...I wasn't aware that you were present at that meeting and know exactly what was said. Oh you weren't? Huh...then I guess you really don't know what was said. :rolleyes:
So with that...I'll assume that all is happy in NSyncland until confirmation comes from one of the members. If by chance, they do decide to go on without Justin, thats their decision. I'm still trying to figure out why people want them back together when there is so much hate towards a certain member. Because if I attend an NSync concert and someone beside me starts flipping off Justin when he comes to my side of the stage...theres going to be an *@* kicking. :laugh:

[Katlin]

I'm sorry...regardless of your opinions on this situation, it annoys the hell out of me to refer to them as SYNC. What the crap? No, just stop. lol.

[*nsyncablemom]

the *writing* started with NSA tour and the first beatbox solo Justin appearance:tongue:

No, I still like *n-mom's idea of having him as the opening act. That would mean I could leave the house later and still not miss much:tongue:

Seriously, if I told you all what I thought of Justin, none of you would ever speak to me again. Pinky may even disown me;)

Lanie, Lanie, Lanie...we're just going to have to make you change your screen name then. :laugh:
And hey...by the way...Buckeyes play in what, two weeks from Saturday? And no Maurice drama...yay! :roll:

Dude it's so bad, but I don't even know the Bucks schedule this year. I'm just way to excited for highschool football to kickoff next week.
Whatever happened to Maurice...seems like he dropped under the radar. He's not dominating the news like he used to...and no, by no means am I complaining;)

I don't know what happened to him..once his case got turned down by the courts, its like he dropped off the face of the planet. What a darn shame! :laugh:
And the Buckeyes play the Cincinnati Bearcats on September 4th! :)

[LA Lady]

I just don't understand why everyone is so stunned that Justin isn't going back (allegedly, that is). It was never going to happen. At least that's what I've always gotten out of it for the past two years.

[pinky]

Seriously, if I told you all what I thought of Justin, none of you would ever speak to me again. Pinky may even disown me;)What? For agreeing with me???? :tongue:

[lost_n_justin's_smile]

I sense that this will be a topic of conversation for my next trip to Philly;).

I agree....I think that they were hoping they would just fade away and no one would notice.....It isn't shocking or unusual in any way....everyone in the business uses whatever avenue available to start out until they reach their goal.....

[SparkleHugs]

oooooo PM me i wanna know!!! i wont hate! :p

[DoubleEdgeSword]

Nsync should break up and each go their own way. To anyone buy diehard fans, the group was always "Justin and those other guys" anyway.
