r/NSYNC

So recently on instagram I’ve seen some clips and videos of NSYNC with Michael Jackson. (Saw the Michael movie it was so good!)

One video was when NSYNC did dancing machine with the Jackson five and the other was when NSYNC brought MJ out during their VMAS pop performance.

Some people’s comments under the Jackson 5 and NSYNC video were crazy. They said it annoyed them and they hated that NSYNC shared the stage with J5, saying it was stupid and lame and it should’ve been only the Jackson 5 alone. Didn’t NSYNC only do that one song with them iirc? While the Jackson five did their other songs without them. Like am I missing something here? The only comment from that vid I kinda agreed with was one saying NSYNC should’ve not shared with the Jackson 5 and got their own song/stage tribute to them instead for that anniversary special.

The other VMAS video comment was a reply to a different comment that said “MJ didn’t even rehearse for it he just walked up on stage and did that”. The reply was “yeah he didn’t need to rehearse to help untalented kids”. Why would MJ have even agreed to do that with them if they’re so “untalented”? lol like what. I was just confused and this comment has over 200 likes 🥴

It’s not even about me being an NSYNC fan. That’s just a straight up lie saying they were untalented kids. I get people have their preferences and opinions about the Jackson five sharing the stage with NSYNC, but why hate on them if they probably were invited or asked to do it? NSYNC did that one brief part with them and it’s not like they hijacked the whole thing, MJ genuinely liked them otherwise they wouldn’t have been there and he wouldn’t have gone on stage with them. I’m an MJ fan but this just confuses me

As if we didn't already have enough evidence of Joey's questionable character, why is he reposting a video of 50 cent calling Madonna a grandma and being a misogynistic asshole? I don't think Madonna is the one who needs to evolve Joey. Apparently, women aren't allowed to be sexual in their 60s.

Also, has anyone seen some of the sex worker accounts he follows on Instagram and tiktok? Not sure if I'm allowed to link to that type of content here, but he seems to have a particular fetish 😳. And none of these women follow him, so it wasn't a follow back situation on his part.

EDIT: I'm adding some links because he should be exposed. Grown men following this type of content here, here and here need to be put on some kind of list.

Okay, these are my raw thoughts and I'm sure JT fans would answer here with things that do make sense. Feel free to disagree.

It's just that recently, as a person who used to get a little annoyed with the song "Baby", I was surprised how Justin Bieber got my attention when he sang it with his current, more mature voice (his post last December at the bowling alley). Then in Coachella, singing with his younger self was just a delight to watch.

I'm less than a year old here and I know there are many things I get wrong, so I wanna share my thoughts (and see if you think the same or think differently):

1. I get this feeling that Justin Timberlake tries to distance himself from *NSYNC music, especially those they sang at the very start (IWYB, TUMH, GMHSALMTOY etc). I feel like only Girlfriend could still kinda fit in his genre or his branding since he left the group that's why they sang that at The Wiltern. Of course, Gone fits too. And he can't turn his back on BBB because that's extra popular and still pretty cool.

2. He has all the right to choose that. Maybe it's also advice from his manager/mentors/label (in case you think I'm right). But I just think there's power and beauty when an artist goes back to their much younger selves, where it all started, and maybe offer an updated version of them singing it.

Yes, what works for JB may not work for JT. Yes, maybe JT doesn't need it. And yes, I know I should give up on the thought of a reunion, but this isn't necessarily just about a reunion. I'm not even a JT stan but if JT would do a performance like that, even alone, I would go nuts. Much better if there'd be a reunion, of course.

I guess this is my millennial heart being curious. Maybe also being a little jealous how Beliebers got to relive their inner child or teenager and make it co-exist with their 2026 self. But for now, all I can do is think about it, post on Reddit, and hope I don't regret sharing it here LOL
