BackSync: Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC Members on Possibility of a JOINT Album (Exclusive)

ET’s Cassie DiLaura caught up with Joey Fatone, Nick Carter, Lance Bass and AJ McLean at a recent concert. The boy band members joined forces for a Pride Month show benefiting the Trevor Project. Despite being thought of as rivals at the height of their success, the guys share the mutual admiration they’ve had for each other’s music and tease the possibility of recording an album together.

[@nikw94]

I would love a Back-Sync album. I grew up listening to both bands as a teen.

[@siapaya6107]

Their legacy will never die.. Backstreet Boys & NSYNC have produced 4 Diamond Certified Albums combined (Backstreet Boys self titled album, NSYNC self titled album, Millennium, and No String Attached)

[@coscrupi]

Always wanted to hear Brian & JC sing duo together. They were the strongest versatile vocalists range of the 2 groups in their hey days. So sad that Brian had the throat issues over the past decade. Would have been great. Still would be great to have the majority of them do something.

[@fionahamilton7231]

Nah sorry jcs better of with n sync eventhough he isn't singing anymore

[@creamerasant]

I'm smiling from start to finish 😁😆 You can genuinely tell that they love each others company and enjoying this reunion (not forced) which makes it all so nice!!!!

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

I’m a guy, and I can genuinely say that I love these dude’s. I’ve always enjoyed their music growing up. I’ve been more so a BSB fan, but they both have their place in my life growing up!

[@znhait]

Lance and Joey are so jealous-friendly jealousy-that the Backstreet Boys are still performing. Lance, especially, would love to go on tour, but it seems that the non-Justin members of *NSYNC are afraid to go on tour without Justin. They shouldn’t be, though. If they were the headliners, I’d understand. However, doing it with BSB would be fine.

[@sweetra07]

They could also get another singer to replace Justin like TLC. I’m not sure what Spice Girls did, but they might have just sang for the other group members.

This wasn't brought up in the interview but in one interview with Nick Carter by himself I can't remember what show it was on he originally said the song I Want You Back was supposed to be a Backstreet Boy song but I think there were too busy doing something else like touring or something so they let NSYNC have the song and the rest is history.

[@MegaMaverickMan]

It was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. I believe it was Kevin who mentioned that they were too busy to record I Want You Back or Tearing Up My Heart or so Max Martin gave those songs to Nsync.
