Yup. By 2000 and 2001 they put out Black & Blue and a singles like Shape of My Heart and The Call was them already moving away from teen pop. Then they disbanded as well and tried a more mature sound in 2005 with never gone Edited June 17, 2023 by dirrtydiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were already losing their footing with Celebrity. Boy bands were OUT. We instead wanted JC to have his solo career and be beautiful and talented but we were deprived.

CandyCoatedClouds Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 They should have, don't know when but they should have. Also more importantly, JC should have totally huge. He chose such trash songs it's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nsync era/reunion could do better than his next solo era though. nah joey and chris are old fatties now thw other 3 kept the looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnanimousBB16 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 If they did, the album would have only did a million worldwide. It would have sold a million in the US (which would have been an underperformance, and "Never Gone" performed the same for BSB), and they had a weak worldwide audience from the beginning. They didn't have a chokehold on R&B like Destiny's Child, when they did their comeback album. No one cared enough for JC solo, and people saying otherwise are revisionists.

He unfortunately released some of the most try hard music for his first couple singles and destroyed his own hype. (low key bop tho) This isn't true. Justin was a way more popular public figure than JC was during the NSYNC days. Justin was dating the most popular woman on the planet (Britney Spears). Towards the end, it seemed like Jive was already pushing Justin. Most singles from the Celebrity album were co-written by and heavily showcased Justin. Gone is basically a solo Justin song. Even on the Celebrity album cover, Justin is in the centre while JC is way in the back. JC's album ended up coming out years after Justin's project when all the hype was dead. The release date got pushed back a hundred times. The label seemingly had no idea what to release cause all the songs got passed around and were online way in advance. They put out the lead single and when it made zero noise they didn't try anything else, just released the album months after without a hit. 16 hours ago, Mtjjproducer said: also for those saying jc should've had a bigger career. his music sucked. I like some of the songs off Schizophrenic but as a whole it was bad. Justin made MUCH better music than JC. I LOVE his voice but he released bad music. his second album sounded like it was going to be good though. people are dick riding JC because they are bitter about Justin's success and riding his hate train. Same thing with Michelle from DC. ya asses didn't like her in the group but now people are trying to rewrite history saying she was the glue of the group with her bridges when everyone hated her until 3 years ago. remember poormichelle Pharrell handed Justin all those songs they already wrote for Michael Jackson tho. And the label invested millions to ensure the best producers. Some Girls Dance With Women was literally something JC just did for fun. Definitely not the right song to launch his solo career but Jive picked it. He didn't have the right people in his corner to guide the project. And Schizophrenic is a good album. I like Justin's debut but it's nothing special. Not every experimentation on JC's solo album paid off but it has far more great songs than misses in my opinion. The difference between JC and Michelle is people have always loved JC. It's obvious he was done wrong by the industry and deserved better.

It was a moderate success for them & you have remember It was their 4th album & almost a decade in the game. All considering it was really good for them.

Inverted Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 No, boybands were done by the time they released their last single. They had to use Nelly for the single mix of "Girlfriend" to add some "urban" appeal because bubblegum pop was dying. Backstreet Boys continued releasing and they flopped.

I Want You Back? Tearin Up My Heart? Bye Bye Bye? It's Gonna Be Me? Pop? Girlfriend?

He’s a great singer and songwriter, the industry did him dirty. OT: nah I’m glad they had a trilogy and left on a good note. They were already shifting their sound with gone and girlfriend ft Nelly. Even bsb had their golden era trilogy from Backstreets Back, Millennium and Black & Blue This is 100% fan fiction. JT was always more popular than JC and Jive was readying JT for a solo career for a long time (long before the Britney scandal in 2002). This is clearly historical revisionism being pushed by Britney stans. JC was never as popular as JT and ruined it for himself by releasing corny music. Funds were not taken from him.

When they came back in 2005, they continued with the same formula. *NSYNC was known for choreography and teen pop. That was dead by 2001. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAmericanBitch Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 JT was always more popular than JC because of britney and getting more solos, but jc was better looking and had a better voice... however they ruined his look when that long hair when he went solo and the music was awful :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT was always the most popular member since their debut in 1996 long before dating Britney. JT got as many solos as JC. They both have one verse each in 99.9% of their songs. And JC had the better voice, but he was not better looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorjesspazze9 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 They were smart to stop at their peak. Boy bands were on thier way out. And hip hop was coming in hot. Even tho they tried to get more hip hop on celebrity. It still wouldn’t have competed in the marketplace past that year. 50cent, Eminem and Nelly were ending that era.

Gorjesspazze9 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 JT was more popular than all the members combined. JC was never “Universally” better looking Justin had more fangirls because he was considered better looking. Stop the bias 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
