‘NSync!....Gosh there is so much to say about them! From their talent to their hard work to their fame! ‘NSync is an AMAZING group of guys! They have worked their butts off for many years now and have gain great fame from it and deserve every bit! ‘NSync means so much to me and to everyone of their fans in many different ways!
Its is amazing how now matter what bad just happened to you their voices can bring a smile to your face every time, how when you have nothing to do you can bust out a ‘NSync video or two and you are set for the night! How getting up and dancing to their music takes your mind to whole different level! And no matter what you are doing you will make time to catch the show they might only be on for a few short minutes!
‘NSync has helped people in ways they will never know! From making one smile to filling ones life with happiness! They have done so much that they don’t know and they need to know! ‘NSync is amazing and so are the fans I know that no matter what happens ‘NSync’s fans will stick by them! You guys are great never forget that! And as long as we don’t forget ‘NSync will always be around even if it just ends up in our hearts!

‘NSync means so much to me that they've changed my life sooooo much. I remember first hearing bout them in mid 1995 when a friend of mine from Europe introduced me to them. I actually met JC when I was 5 and he was a real sweetheart but of course...I got scared so I hid behind my sister LoL But, through the years, the guys have made such an impact in my life with their harmonies and their dancing. The guys are so gorgeous, they've got great heads on their shoulders and all the hard work they've put in their dancing and singing has paid off in the long run cuz now u see their videos playing on TV, their music being played on hit radio stations, and their tour has been named one of the best tours of 98-99 or so I've heard and I think so cuz I've experienced that feeling on May 15, 1999. So, NSync if u read this, you guys are such an inspiration to me, music and dance wise cuz I luv to do both, and JOEY FATONE I LUV U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

Well where do I begin, ‘NSync means a lot to me for many reasons. The biggest thing is that they have helped me through many rough times in my life. The biggest was when my parents were about to get a divorce, this is when ‘NSync was barely even out. Well it was the end of my senior year and everything in my life was going great until this, my parents just all of a sudden were ready to get a divorce, to this day I still don’t know what happened and to tell you the truth I don’t think they do either. Well it was so bad that my dad moved into a hotel. I cried every single night, the night he left I cried non stop from 8 in the evening to 4am and I had to go to school that morning. All I would do was sit in my room and cry, then I was watching MTV and I caught the end of the IWYB video and I was just like hey who are these guys, then I heard the song about 10 minutes later and I couldn’t help but dance around and smile, it was the first time since everything happened that I was genuinely happy, the next day I went searching for the CD but it wasn’t out yet, but whenever that song would come on I couldn’t help but smile no matter how much I didn’t want to. When I finally bought the CD that was my getaway, I would listen to that CD every single day, it was my motivator, kind of saying that things will get better, and you know what they did, I’m happy to say that my parents never divorced the are still together and are happy, they have now been married for 27 years. Ok that’s number one!
Reason #2 why ‘NSync means so much to me, they helped me get through being away from home when I went away to school last year. I absolutely hated it, and all I kept saying was I want to go home, but then I thought “what the heck am I whining about ‘NSync is away from their families for months at a time and they are thousands of miles away”, and here I am only 150 miles away from home, and I’m all whiny and being a baby about it, so I stuck through my year away and made and by the end of the year I was having so much fun, but I did end up transferring back home anyway because of other reasons.
Reason #3 the guys mean so much to me just because they are simply who they are, five guys out to have a good time making music and making people happy, they are not trying to put out any specific image, they don’t care what people say about them, (example Chris’ hat on TRL). They just make their fans feel like friends of theirs that they have known for years. They are not afraid to just be who they are. And you know what I used to be afraid to admit to people that I liked BSB (that was a long time ago when I liked them, I despise them now) but I am very proud to say that I am an ‘NSync fan and I don't care what people say about it. I have never been so confident about something before. Usually if I know that someone doesn’t have the same opinion as me or that I might come out looking like the idiot I won’t say anything, but when it comes to ‘NSync disagree with me all you want I will stick up for them until the end of time. Since the day I bought my very first ‘NSync CD I have listened to it or one of my other CD's every single day, there has not been a day in the last year and a half that I have not listened to one of my ‘NSync CD’s, they are just my energy booster. I have noticed too, that ‘NSync’s music is the only music that I have never gotten sick of I can listen to it forever and a day and I would not get sick of it.

Samantha, age 14, Westfield, IN:
‘NSync is my whole world!!! Everything evolves around it!!! Not a day goes by that I do not think of Nsync! I have 458 things (pics, sounds, movies, etc.) on my computer that I look at everyday! My room is an ‘NSync shrine!!! I love them to death and would do n e thing for them! They r the only thing that I listen too! I use to listen to like grunge and stuff but now just NSYNC!!! I LOVE THEM!

Kristi, age 14, Elgin, IL:
In May of ‘97, a good friend of mine passed away, I was absolutely devastated. I began to wonder why I should be living if she couldn’t be living, so I got to a point of deep depression, and I was going to take my own life, but my mom had bought me ‘NSync's CD, and I listened to “Sailing”, and it ‘spoke’ to me, told me my friend was in a better place, and she was free...So in my eyes, the guys of ‘NSync are my heroes, because they basically saved my life, if I hadn’t heard “Sailing” I wouldn’t be here writing this right now! That’s why I love and adore and look up to Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and JC Chasez.
In loving memory of Julia Morano, May 7, 1997, I Love You Julia!
With Love For Only *N SYNC,
Kristi Mociulewski

To JustiN- My curly, blue eyed babe.
ChriS- My crazy cutie.
JoeY- My flirty red haired stud.
LansteN- My dreamy eyed honey.
JC- My peaceful sweetie.

As *N Sync you each represent a unique style and interesting personalities. With all your differences and similiarites, you create the perfect combo.
From your dancin' tunes to your tranquil melodic ballads is the cure to our blues. The lyrics are the sugary candy to our mouths. Your voices are cupid's arrow to our hearts. The music is the smooth move in our dance steps. Every music note, song lyric, and words from you're mouth makes the fans and myself float up to Cloud Nine.
I love you all for being exactly who you are; for being *N SYNC. You sweethearts are the universe and the twinkling little stars painted on the midnight blue sky. Your sweet angelic faces and the way you have raised to live has motivated us to appreciate life, love, family, friends, and everything on this earth. You taught us to dream and to fulfill our destiny. You have always been the inspiration in my life.
We (the fans) strive to be the dream girls that set your hearts on fire. Loving all of you whole heartedly and never doubting that love has been one of the best things in my life. You'll always be the loves in my life. You are each my heaven sent angels brought down to earth. All my love and may God bless you with everything that you dream of.
Love ya always, J

The guys of *NSYNC are more than just a normal singing group, they give me so much more inspiration, and aspirations for life. Every song has a great meaning behind it, and they do their best to let everyone hear that when they sing. It's not only their love of music that makes them as special as they are, it's their talent, and most of all their personalities, it's amazing how they can stay strong as one, and never give up their faith in God, which makes them even more special. They give light to a new all talents out there, and they give a meaning to everything that makes me want to work harder to achieve my goals. I owe them a lot, I feel, through their positive outlook, and their music, it's brought me a lot closer to my friends, and even brought me new friends, which is very important to me. All I can say, is that through them, I have gained a new outlook on life, and all the people in it, and I am thankful for that. I truly think they are special, and respect them for what they do despite all the stereo types and criticism. So if ever they read this, I want them to know, they are definitely loved and supported.

Ashley, age 17, Washington, DC:
When I was 13, my mom died of breast cancer. She wasn't only my mother, but she was my best friend as well. The first time I ever heard an 'NSync song (I Want You Back) it totally drawed me. I fell in love at first sight as soon as I saw the guys on MTV. Their music just makes me happy, and makes me remember my mother in good ways, rather than bad. They are extremely talented young men, with beautiful voices. They are down-to-earth, and are hillareous. 'NSync means as much to me as my mother does. Without them and their music, I probably wouldn't be here today...

Megan, age 16, Manchester, NH:
When I was younger my dream was to be an astronaut or a dancer. As I aged, I realized that some people are not meant for every job and people have a set path on which they should follow. I was knocked onto my path by my interest in *N Sync. I heard "I Want You Back" on the radio a long time ago and absolutely flipped over the song. My friends would tease me saying "That's another one of those boy-groups.", but I didn't care. I bought the single, the cd and was sitting at my computer finding everything possible about this new group. I met many people tied into their production and was lucky enough to make a few friends. My interest in the music industry increased. As I approached my last years of high school I know I would have to plan for the future and business seemed to be my strong point. I cant sing, I cant solve world peace, I cant even cook, but what I can do is work connections and get what I want. Management, Musical Management... From *N Sync's spontaneous entrance to my life I spiraled into the music industry and found my future profession. All of them, the performers, the band, the crew, and even the great man, Johnny Wright are responsible for my satisfaction. To them all I am eternally grateful!! I love them dearly!

Katie, age 17, Jackson, MS:
I admit that when my best friend, Kelley, first told me about her fascination with *N SYNC, I laughed at her. However, just a few months later, I am eating my words. I've become a bigger *N SYNC fan than her! :) Believe me, I wince every time I remember the day last winter when she came up to me squealing, "Lance is in the mall!" Me: "Who?" Her: "Lance from *N SYNC! Let's go!" Me: "Give me a break." Now, Lance is my favorite *N SYNCer. Oops. :) But enough of this.. I'll get to why *N SYNC has touched my life so much. I guess the thing that started my interest was discovering that Lance is from my very own home of Mississippi.. not just the same state, but the same area! In fact, I realized that I may have witnessed this star-in-the-making when I saw his former show choir, Attache', perform about 4 years ago. That blew me away! Soon, I had bought the *N SYNC CD and was finally catching onto what most of the country already knew about. I found that once I listened to the CD, it was hard to get the songs out of my head. It didn't take long for me to become a total *N SYNC fan. It wasn't just Lance's Southern charm that won me over- it was a combination of all five of these men's qualities and talent. Their humility in light of such success and their generosity and consciousness to those in need touched me greatly. Most of all, they truly enjoy their craft: something I could appreciate, since I am an aspiring performer myself. They worked long and hard to get to where they are now, and that is very inspiring to me. I was lucky enough to win tickets to their concert on August 31st here in Jackson. It was truly a spectacular show. I'll never forget it. I think I'll be an *N SYNC fan for as long as they're around, and trust me.. I'm working on making up that "Lance in the mall" mishap to kelley. :) After all, Lance does come home sometimes.. hopefully one of those times, I'll be lucky enough to run into him somewhere! :)

Amber, age 18, Pueblo, CO:
Ever since Nsync came into my life, things have never been the same. I have loved them since they came out, and I always knew I would get the chance to meet them one day, because I will never give up, EVER. I know without a doubt Nsync, mostly Lance, saved my life. Not only have they helped me look to brighter days, their music has inspired me to follow my dreams. I personally have NEVER felt this way before. Everything I do, I do for Nsync. Every dollar I spend, every thought, every step, all my dreams. I swear its like I have already met them. Their moral courage is sooooo beautiful and unique. They all have something very special about them, and it sets them apart from all the other cookie cutter boy bands. They have a genuine love for what they do, and an intensity and passion that shows greatly in their work. Their charities, and love for fans have made Nsync all I know, all I will ever know, and soon...I will get the chance to know them! Thank you for letting me say all this. I have so much more to say, but I know there are some girls who are already pissed about what I wrote. That is my only pet peeve...those girls who are all "he's mine, nobody can have him" They are not objects, they are human beings who deserve respect.

Alexis, age 17, Dayton, OH:
Just saying *NSYNC brings so many memories and good thoughts into my head! These guys are truly amazing, to say the least! I cannot pinpoint just one certain thing that has changed my life, it ranges from their voices to their wild and diverse senses of humors!
Awhile back I was diagnosed with depression and became suicidal. I was pushed to that point by a couple factors, one of them being that I was overweight. At the age of 14 I was over 200 pounds. Of course being in junior high with those preteen boys I was being ridiculed and harassed everyday! I couldn't stand it, I didn't want to live! During my freshman year of high school I had begun to lose weight. With every pound I shed my self-esteem began to rise. Of course, I don't think I will ever get rid of the emotional scars those boys left on me. I had continued to lose weight all the way into my sophomore year, when I was first introduced to *NSYNC.
I fell in love with their song "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time on You", and instantly became a big fan! And at that time my eyes fell directly upon Joshua Scott Chasez. That year I began talking to an old friend who I had seen for years, and I told her I was a *NSYNC fan. She replied by saying she was one also. Our friendship skyrocketed! We became best friends. Without the help of *NSYNC I don't think Lisa and I would have become friends, and without the help of Lisa, I don't think I would be here today!
In conclusion...*NSYNC has helped me through so much. I don't give all the credit to them though, losing more than 60 pounds is hard too:) but they have definitely been an important part of my life. Someday I hope that I can be granted the opportunity to tell them my story and to thank them for saving my life!

Courtney, age 16, Tuscon, AZ:
'N Sync means a lot to me. They mean things that are extremely difficult to put into words...things that aren't just materialistic, but with true meaning. They have helped me through hard times, and have kept me away from bad stuff teenagers my age are doing. They have taught me to not just follow the crowd, but be whatever I want to be. I will be forever grateful for this. 'N Sync has not only helped me but they have also helped many of my friends as well. I know they have helped them become more outgoing and taught them to not be afraid to show who you are. Overall they have helped me and my friends tremendously and I wish I could personally thank them.

Natasha, age 14, Edison, NJ:
When i first heard 'N Sync I have to be honest, I didn't like them at all. I thought there were just a wannabe boygoup and I used to change the station everytime they came on. But I still started listening to it once in a while and I started to like them a little. Though I didn't know how they looked. Then I went to my friends home. I actually LISTENED to their music. I fell in love with them. Their music although not written by them, comes straight from the heart. I never felt that with pop music before and I still don't like pop acts like Britney Spears for that reason...that was why I was so against 'N Sync intially. But I felt what 'N Sync were saying. Even if it was a fast, pop song like "i want you back" the way they sing it makes the difference. And none of this was based on their looks because TRUTHFULLY i didn't know what they looked like when I HEARD them. I then read their official book...got to know them better. I fell in love with them as PEOPLE. What they wrote made me laugh, made me sad...they affected me like they were my friends. I finally got to see what they looked like them LOL. I have been a fan ever since. That was August 98. It has now officially been more than year LOL. I will never stop liking them. I don't care if their CD is delayed...I don't think they are greedy but rightfully want the money they're entitled too. 'N Sync, if there is a slim chance that you are reading this, here's what I have to say to you: I am in awe of you and love you guys so much. I respect you as artists. You and Christina Aguilera, whom I feel are the only pop or any artists that are talented and sing from the heart, are my inspiration to be a singer. Maybe, one day I'll meet you :) LOL. Remember, NEVER GIVE UP. There were so many other harder obsticales that you guys have had to face that have surpassed the ones that you are facing now. Just think of fans like us, who will ALWAYS stand by your side. Lots of love and luck. Bye:)
