Ah, the mid-90s. When you go online, it means connecting to a crying modem, which allowed you to browse low-resolution photos and textual websites that took forever. Michael Jordan unplanned and headed the bulls of Chicago to a second time that's not right? The tragic love stories offering shipwreck boats were all the streets. And Lou Pearlman - Manager of a company offering travel agency services, male exotic dancers and charter flights - have decided that there must be more lifetime than travel agency services, exotic dancers masculine and charter flights. Once while providing a charter plane for new children on the block, he wondered how they could afford to do it, and how could he browse this train / aircraft of sauce? And that's it, he entered the music company.

After having trained Trans continental files, Pearlman invested $ 3 million in a talent contest in order to create a boy's band. The first winner chosen was A.J. McLean, who auditioned in the Pearlman show. The remaining hearings took place in a director hanger, which would possibly be where the members of the group repeat their singing and dance up to 8 hours ... without air conditioning. Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and Kevin Richardson also received the concert, but Perlman had difficulty finding a 5th member. Finally, Dorough suggested his cousin Brian Litrell, who came out of his high school class to respond to the phone call. Backstreet boys, as she was called, failed to succeed immediately. They spent a few years working in Europe while waiting for their big break with the American public. He finally arrived in 1997 with their hit "leave playing games (with my heart), reaching # 4 in the display panel tables.

But as it was all, Pearlman was up to something outright sneaky: he had formed a second band of boy - 'N sync - without the knowledge of BSB. He had first chosen Chris Kirkpatrick, followed by Justin Timberlake (Perchance you heard from him!) And J.C. Chanez, the two of them finished a race onThe new Mickey Mouse Club. Kirkpatrick's friend, Joey Fortone, who has come to work as an artistic artist in Universal Studios, joins and Jason Galasso has wearing things ... or is it? It turns out, he was not happy to become an idea of ​​becoming a heart of the heart for the teenybopper crowd, then launches Bass replaced him.

Why did Pearlman have a secret of Nearlman? Just put, he did not want to piss the BSB while they pay the bills. As a result, the members of "N Sync felt like the hideous creature of the subsoil that the parents are too embarrassed to let out. Finally, he broke the news that there wasAnother. It did not go very well, and he reported what would become a rivalry. At that time, you were a fan of one or the other; Just like choosing a sporting team to follow, you can not tell for both.

In 1998, the BSB had a chance to accomplish a one-hour concert on the Disney channel, but after all that turns without stopping, they said, "No thanks." It's when "N Sync has entered the place and suddenly, wear them on the same pedestal. In fact, he would play the two of each other, complaining from one to the other and vice versa, like a manipulative college. As a result, when the two groups were above the boy's world, they hated.

The published BSBMillenniumIn 1999, and it was an immediate smash album, selling a record establishment of 1.1 million copies its first week. However, the group received only $ 300,000 vs the $ 10 million that the PEARLMAN record company won. In the meantime, N Sync members received US $ 10,000 controls, even if they had sold a total of 10 million albums by then. Without going into the long and drawn details, the two groups ended up cutting the links with Pearlman and a lot of disputes ensued. Sync Post-Pearlman Sync Album - 1999No strings attached- More than doubled sales of their archives of their group of boys, selling 2.4 albums, a record that would be held until Adele broke in 2015.

As the expression goes, "everything is fine that ends well." Once the respective band members started to talk to each other, they realized that they had a lot in common. In particular, they were both completely screwed by Pearlman. They would finally have respect for each other, with some of them appear even in a charity basketball game together and then headed for McDonalds after fading their experiences.

"N Sync went on a temporary" hiatus "in 2002, although it seems to be permanent because they have not published album or visited together since then. They performed on the MTV Music Awards in 2013 as part of a tribute to Timberlake, who had a huge career as a solo artist and cinema. Meanwhile, the BSB radiates in the powerful dough inBigger than life, the fastest residence in the history of Las Vegas.
