OH MY GAWD, I miss NSYNC.

foxmonkeySo, my iPod served up Pop today. Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Man, the ache of missing them was physical, I kid you not. Fired up YouTube when I got home and I've been watching/listening to it pretty steadily as I've surfed.
I'm crying with love for these guys.
Chris: How cute was he as a DJ? I especially love it when he does that full swipe thing and bends over the turntable kind of sideways. I'm completely not making sense, so watch for yourself at 2:04. Chrissofer!
Lance: Other than looking completely hot, Lance doesn't do a whole lot in this one. But! Gotta give him points for the Lance Dance. Lance with his original equipment, so gorgeous...his nose, get your mind out of the gutter. 1:40
Joey: Poor mangled Joey and his accidentally crushed leg. But! There's a bright side! Instead of dancing, Joey gets to hang wid da ladeez. 1:50 Evil Wade filled in for Joey on the dancing side of things, but Evil Wade will get no links to his faux-Joey booty shaking.
Justin: He's becoming a man, but there's still a certain soft, young quality to his face just here: 1:52 Collectively, I *love* their Pop outfits.
JC!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, JC. This breaks my heart because I love you so. This to me was the height of his gorgeousness with NSync. "NSYNC's dark-haired beauty." Can't remember the reviewer who wrote that, but it's oh, so true. Ah! Here 'tis. ::le sigh:: *Love* JC's outfit. Love the hair, love the chin strip. Love JC sauntering down the Tunnel O' Sex, getting felt up 'cause he's a rock star and that's what they do. 1:22 Love his singing. Love his dancing. Love him.
They broke my heart in seventeen places. Why'd they go away? ::cries::

Not that I'm still bitter. Noooo.
I shall disclaim: I'm very very glad that he has found personal success. Go Justin. I just wish it weren't at the expense of a group that brought so very, very much joy to me, and I'll always miss it.
I can't believe that was almost 9 years ago. Do you remember being on LJ the day they aired the MTV for that video? Memorial Day Monday '01, I believe. Evil!Wade was everyone's NEMESIS!
Tunnel o' Sex. I'd forgotten about that. GUH.

Date: 2010-01-26 12:35 am (UTC)Wordy McWord. :-( I wish he could have found a way to do both. It still wouldn't have been quite the same, but better than The Hiatus that was The End. :-(

Nine years, can you believe it? And when I hear some songs, like Pop! today, it all comes rushing back and just slugs me in the stomach. Most of the time when I miss them it's with a kind of soft, wistful nostalgia, but man, today I really felt it. :-(

EXACTLY!
I wish at least Justin could make Jive release 1)The Celebrity Tour DVD and 2)a box set of all the "extra" Nsync songs - anything not on the 4 domestic releases. They could fill a 6 disc box set with that stuff. I'd buy that crap in a second!
Oh, JC in 2001 was at his most beautiful, with his long hair and his pretty clothes and his capri pants and his toe rings. Siiiiighhhh.

Date: 2010-01-26 12:48 am (UTC)Oh my God, wasn't he though? Just...masculine, but still beautiful. I think my favorite picture of him ever:

And this is a very, very, very close second:

Just unbelievably crazy beautiful.

So. Friggin'. Frustrating. I mean, seriously, why the hell hasn't this happened!? Twenty years from now it'll be some Time-Life DVD release and I'll have a friggin' stroke from the anger, right after I throw my walker at the TV screen. ::grrrrrrr:

Date: 2010-01-26 12:52 am (UTC)I know. :-( I almost can't imagine what a reunion would be like. And I wouldn't want to see just the four of them if Justin didn't want any part...would I? Hmmmmmmmm. Then again, JC's the only one I ever truly watched. :-D
I wish the Grammys or some award show could get them on stage together for just one song. Though, I'm afraid if they did that we'd want more, more, more.
The Grammy people need to give them a lifetime achievement award, the bastards. I still can't believe that a record-setting group that talented -- acknowledged as talented -- didn't win any Grammys. That's just a crime and a shame.

Date: 2010-01-26 12:56 am (UTC)I can't imagine a reunion either. I certainly couldn't see a NKOTB type reunion. I honestly don't think it would be Justin not wanting to partake. I think if asked and it was the right situation, he'd do it in a heartbeat.

Amen! Stupid Recording Academy members for not giving them a Grammy they deserved. Still pisses me off that they never won.

Date: 2010-01-26 12:59 am (UTC)The whole is/was the most frustrating thing. I was right there the whole time saying they didn't owe us an explanation, and I still believe that, and I am happy for Justin and love the boy dearly. But I so wish he'd been confident enough to reach for his own success without distancing himself from those four other guys. If we were hurt, just imagine how they felt, even as they obviously still loved him.
*sigh* Justin.
I forget that I miss them, and then I sometimes I remember.

Date: 2010-01-26 01:08 am (UTC)That's it exactly. My iPod's been serving up a lot of NSYNC lately (set to shuffle, so *I'm* not doing it!), and it's just funny how certain songs make me miss them more than others. 'Drive Myself Crazy' is my official NSYNC song, but hearing Pop today just killed me. :-(

YES. I keep thinking of his first solo appearance at the VMAs...dancing with four other guys behind him. Now *that* would have felt like a kick in the stomach had I been one of the other Syncers.

Date: 2010-01-26 01:26 am (UTC)JC so hot with those things hanging down in front of his package (though I liked when his hair got a bit longer best). Justin and the close up of that made for porn mouth. Lance being Lance, Chris actually being cool, and Joey dancing better than Wade could ever think too.
Bastards, they are bastards for leaving us.

Date: 2010-01-26 01:32 am (UTC)I'd forgotten about JC being there with Lynn! Waaaah! Now I want to cry. :-( And now I'm thinking of a hundred Justin-related questions that I want to ask. Hmmmm.
NOW I'M MAKING MYSELF ALL SAD.
WAAAAAAAAAAH. I KNOW. :-(
