98 Degrees React To NSYNC's Overshadowing Reunion

Graeme O'Neil takes a look at 98 Degrees' reaction to NSYNC reuniting hours before their own reunion US Weekly cover story was released.

[@o_0malik]

It’s 1999 all over again and I’m here for it!

[@Keezie27]

I love all the Boybands of the late 90’s/early 00's (But 'Nsync is my fave)and it's great to see them all out here doing their thing again. It feels like 1999 to me again which is a great thing.

[@wegotit2587]

No offense 98 degrees but Nsync has it all…killer 5 part harmonies (not made up of Tenors and a Baritone), iconic complex dance choreography and amazing live vocals at the same time, holding the record for most albums sold at 2.4 million in one week for over 15 years, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass (gotta have love for the LGBTQ crowd) AND Nsync has Big Daddy Sexy JC Chasez, the BEST motherf$cken vocal beast to come out of ANY boyband, past and current!

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

EITHER WAY BOTH ARE GREAT

[@snowpeachdoll]

Damn right! 💯

[@Mscharisma27]

Absolutely all of this Especially the JC part. I've been missing him so much

[@mstif26]

Adele actually broke *NSYNC’s record in 2015 when she sold over 3 million albums in one week. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest-selling_albums

@@mstif26 Yeah she did! 🙂 And thankfully it was someone worthy instead of some stupid viral online “influencer/ entertainer” like Doja Cat!

Alright if they are ALL friends why is there no #boybandfest? There SHOULD be a #boybandfest!

[@blind_t2]

I mean come on, we had the I love the 90’s tour, why did they not do a part 2 to that tour including the boy bands and the girl groups?

That would be so fun!

I didn't even know 98 Degrees are reuniting! My teenage heart ❤ is so happy 😅.

[@raydeitz]

There promoter dropped the ball..

[@omgnetwork5231]

98 has the same manager as Timberlake. Johnny Wright. Which was also *NSYNC's manager. He actually posts a lot of 98 stuff on his accounts, himself. Their promo team is different though

[@bradlayhughes6043]

Can all 3 bands do a tour! That would be epic ans probably the biggest grossing tour of al time

[@firedupplayers]

98 Degrees should do a collaboration album with Boyz II Men. They can make a song titled "Hot'n Philly"

[@mayflower7811]

[@tanyagonzales2976]

"Take it from here" probably went over some people's heads. One of my favorites from Justified, which may I add, was an amazing album.

[@jewel77jewel14]

The work of JT with the Neptunes has become overlooked overtime sadly...Everyone talk about his collaboration with Timbaland. For me Justified is still my favorite of him.

[@chrisbee83]

GREAT album

[@beautifullysag1117]

I STILL keep it in rotation like it just came out lol.. 2002 was a good good year! “Take It From Here” “Last Night” “Still On My Brain” are the ones I play the most

[@omgnetwork5231]

"Like I Love You" is still his best song That song, the guitar riff alone is iconic. And the choreo is unmatched.

[@Creasey_F]

And “never again”

[@tomthetank1]

NSYNC were my favorite, but 98 degrees are hunks!

[@540StyLAL]

Love Joey man, he is so cool wit everyone. Love u man!!

[@lilzuplada1564]

The more millenium pop the better! It's 1999 again! Crossed fingers for Britney

[@emramirez7846]

No offense, but with all due respect, 98 degrees are not even on the same spectrum as N'SYNC or the B. Boys. N'SYNC MANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rajendrastarks3686]

And them facts have never even been in the same atmosphere let alone arena

[@DuchessChau]

Not…. Even. Full stop.

[@CharlesWilliams-vd5ek]

Exactly 😂

[@wegotit2587]

98 Degrees…it’s September now….why didn’t you think of announcing your tour when there was an actual heatwave across the country and the average temperature really was 98 degrees and up?😂

[@chayra7517]

Too much heat, you wanna die in 2023? 😂

[@carlcwms]

They should all tour together. It’s the same fanbase. Get that money.

[@LesleyCanterbury22]

Jc has been the one not wanting a reunion lately! Cant always blame JT

[@Creasey_F]

A lot of people forget about “never again”

[@theodoreryan4155]

98 degrees haven’t been away for that long so it doesn’t count. *NSYNC however, that’s another story!

[@user-nv2mr6nn7c]

98 degrees felt more R&B to me.

[@gram87bs]

The thing is 98* was never at the heights NSYNC WAS. They were active for 5 years from 97-2002 and took a break until 2012 when they started to random pop up things until now. They are touring with 2 other bands. They realisticallY could not pull the numbers NSYNC or BSB pull if they toured solo. They had a few good songs he but they were never as big. But hey good for them for keeping the music alive.

[@dustinbrown599]

I guess they should’ve turned up the temperature?!?

[@victimvan974]

Wait what happened to BSB. Just find some way to bring Brit into this, NSYNC, BSB and whoever else from that era. BRING THEM BACK TOGETHER! It would be the biggest tour of all time.

[@gregorymakap]

While I agree that 98 degrees was never on the level of nsync or bsb, majority of comments here just seem to be hating for no reason, all these guys know each other and they're friends just having a good laugh and joke about it, like calm down, its not that serious 😅

Who would be a good match up for 98 degrees in a music versus, but it can't be Nsync or backstreet boys?

Nobody asked for no damn 98 Degrees reunion man.😂 They arent even on the same wavelength as Nsync, or BSB for that matter. They were irrelevant then and they're still irrelevant now.

[@davidcole2337]

should be an issue because Nsync not touring till 2024.. 98 Degree's is blimp on the map.

[@lillitudesaulniers9275]

“The guy who has tunnel vision” ? That’s such a lame perspective. JT doesn’t owe Nsync a reunion… he can do his own thing if he wants to, just like the rest of them could have as well. Wannabe fans who push that narrative about one member breaking up the whole thing cause they become more famous.. it’s being a critic, not a fan. The time wasn’t right before, JT is helping THEM by reuniting… they haven’t made anything of themselves (aside from Joey) and if he didn’t bring them into the Trolls 3 movie they wouldn’t have had the chance. He’s reunited with them 5 years ago for the Hollywood walk of fame star and 10 years ago when they did a cameo during JTs MTV vanguard award. He has helped them gain attention which they could have used on their own. JC had a solo album and none of you people went and bought it ! Lol 😂 let the guy live sheeesh

[@vipe293]

Thing is these so-called "fans" are just bitter JC didn't have the same kind of success, their never ending argument is always "he's a better singer" which nobody is denying---but they forget that being a great singer doesn't equate to success...you gotta have the "it" and JT was smart enough to not alienate his fans by making a record that still retained that Nsync sound...JC on the other hand released singles about humping and blowing whatever and when they flopped, he didn't even try to make a comeback, then the fans point fingers at everyone how JC was sabotaged. I swear these fans are bunch of delulus

Thank You for speaking the truth.

„You know, one can milk the cow that is called showbiz, but there’s a thing called dignity and integrity, and there’s nothing as pathetic as fifty-year-old men trying to sell the 'thing' they had when they were twenty, but have obviously lost it ages ago. It speaks volumes of their actual mediocrity.“ - Ricky Gervais

[@VeenaMichelle]

I want 98 degrees lol. I've seen them in concert 2018 and 2020 and then 2020. I'm sure people old enough to remember always knew that in 1999, when thinking of boybands, it was all about "backstreet boys, nsync and 98 degrees" . Granted, I agree, the hype of nsync and bsb were much more but they were still extremely popular during the 1998 to 1999 Era.

[@rein2430]

@@VeenaMichelle ok yea I'll give you that ha, and you're right back in those days they were pretty big before music changed. I guess as times passes you just forget the eras in the music.
