One Direction's discography is far better. They have a lot of non-singles that are actually good songs.

or i can write whatever i want. I listened a song now and this is basically something could have been on a early britney or backstreet boys album without a different note or production. So who cares, irrelevant stuff more local than Garth Brooks. 

Irrelevant acts don't get discussed 20+ years after they stopped releasing music. Also, no one cares if they're not known in your country. No one cares who's popular in your country. 

The group that can harmonize and dance......

Nsync by a mile.

1d

JC Chasez was so hot at their peak,

 

but ZAYN alone >>>
 

so 1D win for me

NSYNC is better overall. 

NSYNC just for the harmonizing alone 

N*Sync had better vocal moments but the music is just not on par with my taste, that's why personally I prefer One Direction. Both great bands though.

 

I feel like Backstreet Boys resembles 1D more in terms of music, and I would probably have chosen BSB  

idek all the names in nsync but i still choose them. bigger, better songs (tho i dont really care for either type of music and 1D does have some bops) and nsync was way hotter

One Direction may have been “bigger” but I go back to NSYNC way more tbh

1D has a couple of solid songs and as they grew older and became more mature so did their material which wasn't the case for Justiny's Child.
