Summary/Quotes courtesy of Rosa from Jordan-Nathaniel-Marcel-Knight yahoo group

Summary:

What Jordan had to say about Cyndi Lauper:"Cyndi Lauper was so quirky and crazy." He said it with a smile.

Joey on Videos:"They were really serious about these set-ups." (he mentioned something quick prior to this but didnt get it.

Joey on boybands:"I dont think there would be boy bands today if it wasn't for us."

Joey:"Been a while since the Osmonds, the Jacksons; some times things just explode."

Jordan on NSYNC:"I like NSYNC. They are very talented and they look like they are just having fun."

NSYNC on NKOTB: Justin and I think Joey, if not Lance admitted to being NKOTB fans.

The video of Hangin Tough was shown and MTV talked about the phenomenon that followed NKOTB hysteria.

Dream on NKOTB:They all mentioned how they were fanatics of NKOTB.

Pink on NKOTB:"I racked up my phone; I made them rich." She mentioned how her mom was mad and of couse admitted of being a fan.

Kevin (BSB) on NKOTB:"Their backlash made it 10 times harder for us to break and to get MTV to play our music." (I didnt appreciate that comment)"Only two guys sang and the rest showed up; if new kids were a vocal group, they'd still be around today."

One of the members of TLC on NKOTB:"Its like--uh-hello...they are doing the same thing as New Edition did but they are getting the success, the fame and the glory from it and its so unfair." (I did not appreciate this comment either)

Bobby Brown on NKOTB:"MTV finally had a group of five white boys who were singing black music, sounded black and were the carbon copy of New Edition."

Joey mentioned how all their personalities were exploited among other things. Joey always spoke his mind. I only caught Jordan the two times listed above.
