Lance Transcript
Yahoomc: Please welcome back to Yahoo! Chat -- Lance from 'N Sync!!!!!
Yahoo_NSYNC: Hello everybody! It's Lance, I'm here in Memphis, TN about to do a concert!
ChatYahoo_Lisa: What was it like doing a video with Gloria Estephan?
Yahoo_NSYNC: Ooo, that was surreal! It came up so fast and then it was over before I knew it.
It just hit me this week that we did it.
Yahoo_NSYNC: I'm trying to get in touch with her today, cause today is her birthday,
and I'm trying to wish her happy birthday.
nsyncno1lover asks: What was the first thing you said/did when you were asked to
join the group?
Yahoo_NSYNC: I didn't believe 'em at first, I thought it was some gimmick on the
phone, so I really didn't take it serious at all.
Yahoo_NSYNC: They said they would fly me down the next day. I was really busy,
cause that night was my homecoming at school and I was more interested in that.
Yahoo_NSYNC: But when I got home that night, I decided to do it the next day, and
when I met them , I knew it was going to be something huge, when I first them.
nsync_geeks asks: What was the significance of calling your new album "No Strings Attached"?
Yahoo_NSYNC: Different meanings. "No strings attached" is usually said when
they want you to check out something.
Yahoo_NSYNC: We said it cause we want you to listen to it, and you decide what to
think, have your own personal opinion.
Yahoo_NSYNC: And we also feel finally free of what has been holding us back,
we are in control of everything we do.
Yahoo_NSYNC: Groups like us are usually all guided about and told what to
do, and that is so not us. So we are to tell you we have no strings attached.
SebasChan asks: Who does the group's laundry when they're on the road?
Yahoo_NSYNC: LOL! My laundry was just taken care of yesterday cause I was home!
Yahoo_NSYNC: Every once in a while we get to go home, but if we really need
it done, we have a girl named Leslie, who does our wardrobe, and when we
really need it, she is gracious enough to do it.
Sweetie_pie4_26 asks: Lance, how was the charity basketball game in Atlanta? :)
Yahoo_NSYNC: It was very successful. I think we raised a little over ,000 for
Arnold Palmer's Hospital.
Yahoo_NSYNC: The people that came out - it was very thrown together, it was
our first charitable event, we hope to make it annual - and so many people came
out, Brian McKnight and his brother who is in Take Six, Usher, Kobe Bryant,
Jamal Anderson, other NBA players, Shanice, there were a lot of people who came out
to support us,. It was great
babyblue_Smurf asks: What color socks do you like to wear?
Yahoo_NSYNC: I am a white socks person!
Yahoo_NSYNC: If they fit, cause if they've shrunk, then it's no socks!
Yahoo_NSYNC: It's funny you ask that, cause we've named this tour the No
Socks Tour, cause we don't usually wear socks on stage cause we wear shorts.
Yahoo_NSYNC: We don't really like socks.
Jalt4ever asks: Who would you dedicate "Music of My Heart" to?
Yahoo_NSYNC: I would dedicate it to all our fans out there.
Yahoo_NSYNC: Cause they are the music of our hearts. We wouldn't be doing
this at all if it wasn't for them.
INtEgRa_GuRl720 asks: how did u like performing at the Miss Teen USA?
Yahoo_NSYNC: That was great, that was our second year in a row.
Yahoo_NSYNC: We've become really good friends with everyone in the organization
of Miss Teen USA, Donald Trump and his whole crew.
Yahoo_NSYNC: When they asked, we just had to do it.
krazynkool2 asks: What's up with Joey's hair? And yours to, which those ice
blue tips?
Yahoo_NSYNC: You must have come to that one show when we put that on the hair.
A lot of people liked it actually, I didn't.
Yahoo_NSYNC: I do have spikey hair during the show, though, but it's white.
Yahoo_NSYNC: And Joey, I have no clue what went on his head when he decided to go fuchsia. I think it's hot pink now!
phat_one_fan asks: Lance can you tell us anything about the new album
Yahoo_NSYNC: It's coming out sometime either the end of this year or early next year.
Yahoo_NSYNC: It's called No Strings Attached.
Yahoo_NSYNC: There will be several songs on the album written by some of us.
Yahoo_NSYNC: The album cover is probably the coolest album cover you've ever
seen, it's very different. But I can't tell you anything about it!
steffers21 asks: Did you go through "Chocolate World" when you were in Hershey PA?
Yahoo_NSYNC: No, I wish! I wanted to, but we just didn't have any time.
But I did ride the rides at Hershey Park.

Yahoo_NSYNC: Butter pecan.
PeachyL_99 asks: What was it like to work with Phil Collins?
Yahoo_NSYNC: Phil was very great, very down to earth.
Yahoo_NSYNC: He's a legend to me.
Yahoo_NSYNC: That was another surreal moment, we didn't really know what
we were going in to that day.
Yahoo_NSYNC: We thought we were going to do a song for our album, and there was Phil
waiting for us. It was like, Hey Phil!
Yahoo_NSYNC: But it was really cool, cause nothing was set in the song, it was
all scatting. So the six of us went in and just scatted and whatever was recorded
was left in.
LANCEgirl04 asks: What's the weirdest outfit you've ever had to wear?
Yahoo_NSYNC: OK! I can answer this one. When the group first got together, we had
been together four months trying to get a record deal. There was a clothing line called
Wacko, the worst, most hideous clothes I ever saw in my life,

and we had to do a photo shoot in them It was awful!
Yahoo_NSYNC: I'm waiting for those pictures to show up somewhere!

in the show.
lady_64_1999 asks: Which of you gets recognized the most?

a bunch of crushes.

of the crews - and they are all signed, from Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, everyone.
I need to thank her.
