question for the pop fans

[erilyn]

If you were going to show some short clips of Nsync and BSB footage to explain the appeal of the fandom to people unfamiliar with it, what would you show? What were the first pieces of footage you saw that made you like the guys? The whole thing would be 20-30 minutes maximum.

Armageddon'sync is one of the first things that comes to mind for me, but what else? Performances, interviews, whatever.

Those are great suggestions, especially the bloopers, I love that footage so much :)

And the dorkiness is a big part of their appeal, for me anyway.

Hee! Now I remember me some early BSB. If you want some performances on your 30 mins thing, I personally like the performance for ALAYLM/Backstreet's Back on 1997(?) MTV Video Music Awards, and the performance for IWITW (and Larger Than Life??) on MTV Video Awards as well (can't remember which year). I think the latter was a divining moment for them (as much as I don't really like that song) because that's the song from the Millennium album that broke the one-week record sales. So at that time, they were so huge and the performance seemed so grandiose. The response from the audience was just spectacular!

Those performances were certainly on a big scale. Thanks for suggesting them, putting them on the list of possibles too :)
