Most girls have their boy band phase when they're young, like in their tweens. Not me. I didn't really care for NKOTB and only owned their Christmas CD and a set of twin sheets. I don't even remember asking for them, I think my mom just got it for me. I didn't truly hit my boy band stride until my late teens/early 20's with the emergence of the Backstreet Boys and *Nsync.
Although I liked both I was definitely an *Nsync girl. Lance was my favorite because apparently I had a think for blonde, spiky haired, obviously gay boys. The highlight of my *Nsync fandom was when I won front row tickets from 101.3 KDWB to their No Strings Attached concert. Granted, I already paid up the wazoo for 22nd row seat but hey, UPGRADE! When they said I was the 13th caller I reverted back to a 16 year old and screamed and jumped up and down. I'm sure my neighbors downstairs were thrilled. I gave my 22nd row ticket to a friend's daughter and enjoyed myself in the front row, so close that I could see the sweat dripping from Justin's brow. (I'm totally kicking myself for forgetting my Kodak disposable camera, btw)
I had all their CD's (and would buy any reunion CD's stat) and while I didn't go so far as to buy the marionette dolls I did have (still have) all the Rolling Stones magazines with all the members of the band on the cover. They'll totally be worth money one day...right?
To this day I still love *Nsync. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing, a reminder of my carefree early 20's but more than likely it's just because I like the music. (I've always loved dance/pop music) I have an *Nsync station on Pandora that gets played on a regular basis at home, at the gym, and in the studio. There's a reason a like to work in the studio alone-so I can sing and shake my booty while I'm working and not either embarrass the hell out of myself or weird people out, lol.
What is your musical guilty pleasure?
