Life With Lance

When james Lance Bass was born, his sister Stacy couldn't help but call him a "little doll". Little did she know that her baby brother would be adored by millions of girls nearly 20 years later!

That "little doll" and Stacy got along rather well, as often, Lance's mom remembers the two kids putting on show after show for he rnad her husband. That talent was found at an early age. "They would dress up, then make their daddy and me be the audience as they danced and sang up a storm. I also rmemeber watching his beaming, happy fact at church when the children's chori performed." Diane Bass recalls.

Lance was a sweet, kind child and he was always trying to please everyone. And, though showing talents at home, he wasn't looking for opportunities to perform. "I was just in school. The only musical thing I did was show choirs." Lance was too involved in growing up! When he was five years old, he announced that he "was going to be an astronaut, a movie star, president of the 'company' and own a restaurant", though.

However, when Lance was 14, he watched a Garth Brooks concert. That was when Lance Bass knew that he wanted to perform.

Soon after, Lance joined a group called Attache, a show choir that toured around the country and compteted against other groups. Lance adds, "That was cool because it was the number one show choir in teh country. That's where I really learned how to sing and dance."

Little did Lance know that shortly after, he'd get a call from his vocal coach asking him to consider being a part of a band...
