Five good-looking guys from Florida form a singing group, make it big overseas and then bring their catchy pop songs back home, where they instantly captivate the American teen market.
Hmmm. Does this tune sound a little familiar? Yes and no. It's true that, on the surface, 'N Sync's story certainly reads like Backstreet Boys: The Sequel. They have the same manager (Johnny Wright, also of New Kids on the Block fame), the same home base (Orlando) and the same secret weapon (a sexy blond -- the baby of the band -- guaranteed to melt the female masses). But spend a little time with the tight-knit quintet -- James Lance Bass, 19; Joey Fatone Jr., 21; Chris Kirkpatrick, 26; Joshua "JC" Chasez, 22; and Justin Timberlake (the noted blond), 17 -- and you'll find that they're as different from Backstreet as Third Eye Blind is from Matchbox20.
