We were the ones that had to go through hell and back.

I don't know if that's really at the epicenter of why NSYNC and him became something, but...

We were told from, because we had the same management, we had the same label, same producer.

It was Max Martin, Jive Records.

We were told that they wanted to manage NSYNC so that they could basically manipulate the situation where, okay, if we have control of NSYNC, we can keep them out of your way.

But in turn, anything we turn down, they got.

They got it.

And essentially-

Because we turned down a performance on Disney, NSYNC took it, and that was the kickoff of their career.

JC and Justin had already come from the Mickey Mouse Club, so they already had a relationship with Disney.

Right.

And they were on the Mouse Club with Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, so they all came out of that world.

But had we done that show, I don't know if things would have happened for NSYNC the way they did, maybe eventually.
