Warren wrote the NSA track "That's When I'll Stop Loving You." She had previously penned the band's Gloria Estefan collaboration, "Music of My Heart," and was in the studio for both recording sessions. Music legend Diane Warren agrees that Chasez, too, had the makings of a powerful solo artist. And, that kid's going to disaffirm his contract, so the worst-case scenario is that we're going to have Justin Timberlake as a solo artist.'" But Barry, our worst-case scenario and why we're going to proceed with this is that you see that young guy up there? That lead singer, Justin Timberlake? This kid could be one of the biggest solo artists in the world. That would be the most amazing thing that could happen.
As the executive recalls: "We walked into Chastain Park and stopped halfway as the group was performing and I'll never forget, Clive Calder looked at me and said, 'It would be amazing if we can get the whole group. It was around then when Weiss headed to Atlanta's Chastain Park Amphitheatre to check out the group in concert. But Weiss says that regardless of the lawsuit, Timberlake was planning to nullify his contract upon turning 18.

*NSYNC were able to break free of Pearlman's contractual clutches and sever their recording deal with RCA Records. Having become suspicious of the group's founder and manager, Lou Pearlman, whose shady financial dealings would be exposed in the coming years and result in prison time before his death in 2016, both *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys were embroiled in a 1999 legal battle with the mogul, the latter forced to cut him in on a portion of BSB's earnings. Record executives weren't necessarily looking for a solo star at the time, but Timberlake's potential was apparent to Jive Records founder Clive Calder, when he and the label's then-CEO, Barry Weiss, set out to sign the quintet (Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick) as they became free agents. I felt that same thing with Jon Bon Jovi - that they're more than just artists and have political qualities and the kind of drive you find in an athlete." I remember when we did 'No Strings Attached,' I said 'That guy could run for president one day.' He was enormously-driven, very gifted and had something very special about him. He was a bright shining star in every way possible - a master at everything he was doing. He had this self-control that was very unusual for a young person. There was the athletic side, the politician, the incredible performer. "The way Justin saw himself from a very early age was something I'd never experienced before.
"There are stars, then there are stars," Carlsson says. There was never any, you know, 'You guys suck!'" The bromance between the bands was made even more palpable the following year, when Backstreet Boys invited NSYNC's Lance Bass up on stage in Las Vegas to help them perform their hit "Shape of My Heart.While Timberlake's talent was clear to Carlsson early on, it was once he became involved in the band's sophomore album, 2000's "No Strings Attached," when he realized the teen's true potential. Backstreet Boys led the pack and became households names in 1996, while NSYNC followed shortly after in 1998 - and despite being in competition with one another, apparently it was all "healthy rivalry." AJ McClean, known as Backstreet Boys' Bad Boy, told US Weekly in 2016, "If anything, it might've been a healthy rivalry, but there was never any competition. Pop groups like 98 Degrees and Take Out were popular, but only two hit gold chain glory. the '90s were its trademark era and everyone wanted a piece of it, per US Weekly. While all-male groups have been around since the '60s - we are talking The Beatles, The Beach Boys, etc. You were either Team NSYNC or Team Backstreet Boys and whichever you listened to on your Walkman basically determined your friendship circle. If you were a tween, teen, or general boy band lover in the '90s, you ultimately had two sides to choose from.
