BETWEEN BOUTS OF profuse sweating and bulging out their eyes in agony, ‘NSync reflected on their career in the latest episode of “Hot Ones” — the YouTube series where celebrities eat spicy wings.
When asked about comparisons between One Direction and ‘NSync, Chris Kirkpatrick differentiated the groups by saying that 1D had five singers who were also all soloists. “So when they come out and do songs, it’s, like, they fight over ‘where’s this [part] gonna be,’” he said. “We kinda knew we sucked at singing certain things. So it was, like, we fell into our spots, and we knew our place.”
“I’d do the high stuff, these two would do the leads, Joey [Fatone] would be in the middle, and Lance [Bass] would be on the bass. It was a lot easier since we started as a sound rather than five amazing vocalists. Not to say we’re not, but I just did.”
