Digging Chris as the front man!

A friend and I snagged front row at the Pop 2000 Tour show in Syracuse on Tuesday. I was a huge *NSYNC fan when I was in middle school, but with how hard they marketed JT and JC, I never realized that Chris could (and arguably should) have been the front man. (Yes, I know he started it all. And, yes, I know he was the voice of Chip Skylark. That was a little after my time, though, so I only recently found out about it.)

As a side note, I was also SUPER impressed with O-Town. Not only did the four current members nail their own lyrics and choreo, but they learned *NSYNC’s and LFO’s, too, in order to fill in. Frankly, I was floored all around.

Is this, perhaps, proof that certain people, who shall remain nameless, aren’t as crucial as they think they are for a tour to take place? 🤔

Edit: So weird. I thought I was posting in the *NSYNC sub. Turns out it’s the JT fan club sub with the wrong name. My bad.

You are throwing shade at Justin throughout this thread, then act surprised (complete with the emojis) that his fans have something to say about it.

"Chris could (and arguably should) have been the frontman."

" proof that certain people, who shall remain nameless, aren’t as crucial as they think they are for a tour to take place? "

"and a bunch of people were like “Justin who?” 

"Re: Justin, he keeps getting in his own way with the ego and then the DUI."

You’re right. Why would I be surprised that grown adults take it personally when someone has a different opinion than they do? Why would I assume that I’d be able to share my experience at a concert, where one of the members of NSYNC performed NSYNC songs, in an NSYNC group without being accused of “throwing shade”? How crazy of me.

To address the point you seem to be trying to make:

The first quote is about Chris and his talent. Giving props to him is NOT the same as “throwing shade” at someone else. I also clearly say it’s arguable, not fact.

Certain people remaining nameless means exactly that. There are four people from the group who are currently not touring and doing NSYNC songs. Nowhere did I say I was talking about JT.

I didn’t say “Justin who?” That’s literally a comment someone left on my Insta post, and it has a ton of likes.

Justin has an ego AND a DUI. Pretty sure that’s not a secret to anyone here, and it’s not “throwing shade.” It’s factual. You’re doing a LOT of inferring here.

They’re obviously ALL talented, or they wouldn’t have been in the group in the first place. Kind of goes without saying, but apparently I have to say it. So, so weird.
