What exactly was on BSB and NSYNC's contract w/ Transcon?
Backstreet Boys
AJ: " I AJ Mclean, agree to pollute my lungs with 20 packs a day of ciggarette's because it makes my voice do that funky thing. I am the rebel of the group so that means I have to get 10,678 tattoos,and change my girlfriends as much as I change my haircolor. I must scream like a rabid hyena at every live performance I possibly can and finally I have to stop aggravating Nick and calling him goatboy because he's the "cute" one.
Howie: "I Howie Dorough, agree to inhale helium before every appearence. Even if it does affect my eyesight and cause that annoying twitching problem. I can just say that Im "winking" because the Backstreet Boys are supposed to be perfect and I cant have any eye problems. If I dont live up to Lou's standards and kiss his ***, I will be forced to leave the group and sell T-shirt's for NSYNC.
Brian: "I Brian Litterll, agree to be a saint. I must not ever drink, smoke, curse, lie, steal, pick my nose, or have a girlfriend thats anywhere near my own age. I must say "SEEYAH" every single time Im ever around a camera and I have to yell out HELLO at every single concert we ever perform. I also must hang around Nick and be his "best friend" and make up dorky nicknames with him since we are "the cute ones".
Kevin: "I Kevin Richardson, must appear to be the smart and responsible one of the group even though Nick has a higher I.Q. than me. I must always talk slower than the normal human being and make no sense during interviews to make the other "younger" guys seem more interesting. I may never ever pluck my eyebrows...ever.
Nick: "I Nick Carter, agree to be the "cute blond" one. I must always act like a complete idiot. Im not allowed to talk during interviews. Im definatly not allowed to curse on TV. That is a Big NO NO! I must date girls only named Mandy just to confuse everyone. And I also have to share all my doughnuts and Ho-Ho's with Lou.
NSYNC
JC: "I JC Chasez, must hide my cocaine addiction from everyone even though its obvious that I do it. I am only allowed to spazz out on stage and make everyone think that its part of the "performance". Im not allowed to spazz out in any small inclosed areas with the other group members, especially not the "the cash flow" aka Justin. Chris and Joey maybe, but not Justin. I also must lie and say that I get along great with everyone that was on MMC when actually I hate them all." /i>
Chris: "I Chris Kirkpatrick, must tell stupid corny jokes for all the teenys so that they will accept me and think Im cool even though I could almost be thier dad. I must sing in a high pitched voice that makes me sound like I just got my pinky toe caught in a door, if I dont then Im useless to the group and will be forced to sell T-Shirts for BSB. I must never be caught drinking or be seen with a woman even though Im almost 30 years old."
Lance: "I Lance Bass, must always blame every ignorant thing I do or say on Mississippi. I can never have solos so that all the girls will feel sorry for me and I'll be "the other popular one" I must also go through a weird girlish stage that no one understands so that the group will have some sort of "issues". I am the only one allowed to admit that I have a girlfriend."
Justin: "I Justin Timberlake, Must be the ghetto-dawg of the group to go along with the fact that Im "the cash flow". I must have an ego (and a necklace) the size of Texas. I can never ever straighten my hair. If I do, I will be kicked out of the group and replaced by Joey McIntyre. I must take steriods at the age of 14 because I AM MONEY. I also can never reveal that Im married to Britney Spears and we have 2 children. (John Boy and Shanaynay.) Finally I must wear wifebeaters but never remove them just to keep up the suspense."
Joey: "I Joey Fatone, agree to be the "lovable idiot" of the group. I may never have a solo even though I have a great voice. I may never get any respect. I will be known as the flirt of the group...making me have even less respect. I must let my annoying brother come along with me on tour so that we have a "loving family" image. Even though more fans want pictures taken with him than me. If I do not live up to Lou's standards. I will be replaced by Steve because no one will notice.:
