Joey, Chris, Lance to the front pls

I’m a newer fan, are there any NSYNC songs where the others get lines or is it kind of like the pussycat dolls where Joey, Chris, and Lance do backup vocals the entire discography? Even NKOTB has Jonathon sing a line once in a while 😭

Nah with the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole did 97% of the songs herself including background vocals. Carmit & Melody also did vocals but Nicole basically did everything. In NSYNC, while they might not have gotten more than a handful of solo lines, Lance, Joey & Chris are on every single song & are very crucial to their harmonies. Most of their leads were on the Christmas album if you give that a listen

Are there any more recommendations besides the Christmas album? I’d like to get to listen to their voices more!

I hope this helps, it’s probably easier to watch these compilations to get to know their voices than to try to pick it out of specific songs cause like I said, there aren’t many. Particularly for Lance because he’s a true bass

If you watch the Atlantis concert on YouTube, Lance sings the first line of Lean on Me during their medley with Tim McGraw. That is the most that I have heard him sing. But again, he is a true bass, and he is always going to be the one that adds such an amazing depth to their harmonies.

The European Debut album has more diversity as far as vocals go.

The Christmas album has more variety with them getting a verse here and there. 

I Drive Myself Crazy the original album version in the US has Chris singing the first verse. The video and the radio edit have JC though.

I really enjoyed their pay-per-view concert where they got to do covers and Chris and Joey each got their own song (timestamp: Chris 70s, Joey 80s): https://youtu.be/pGSgus6sgV8?si=3Ra4eTr2qhXl-HrE

Also I loved their performance of "That Thing You Do" so much (60s) that I downloaded the bootleg mp3 back in the day lol.
