If you look at the album credits, you can see the group’s increased involvement, at least from the likes of unofficial band leaders JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake. The results were visible… both in the music and the liner notes. It was time to exert some true creative control over the music. Fueled by platinum records and adoring fans, their confidence could not have been higher. Feeling comfortable that they could do this music-thing without Pearlman at the reigns, they took to the studio for their third album, Celebrity. Once resolved, they were on their own and released their second album, the aptly titled, No Strings Attached. Following their massive success came seemingly endless legal troubles with their manager and teen talent-farmer Lou Pearlman. In 1997, ‘N Sync made a big splash in both the music industry and popular culture with their debut self-titled album. However, the one thing all these definitions lack is the word “exploitation,” which is something ‘N Sync publicly dealt with very early on in their career.
įor the more visual learner, perhaps this simple photograph serves as a better definition. More often than not, boy band members do not play musical instruments, either in recording sessions or on stage, and only sing and dance, making the term somewhat of a misnomer. The members are expected to dance as well as sing, usually giving highly choreographed performances.
If you were raised as part of Generation Y, you’re all too familiar with the concept of a “boy band.” For those who aren’t, Wikipedia “loosely” defines boy band as:Ī popular music act consisting of only male singers.
