Is there any way to enjoy *NSYNC reunion rumors as a Justin fan?
My joy is seriously getting spoiled by those fans who used to blame Justin for the band not reuniting and have now moved on to saying how pointless he is to begin with now that a 4 people reunion seems tangibleā¦
It makes me sad because I would love to seem them together even if itās just 4 - but being active in the fandom would be no fun if so much space would be wasted on pointing out how they allegedly never needed Justin to begin withā¦.
I feel you. To be honest, Iām salty about Justin in general, but I completely agree that itās kinda shitty how quick some people are to erase Justin from the equation. I also think that a lot of people are miscalculating just how much would be missing without Justin. I donāt agree with the assessment that Justin was 90% *Nsync, but I feel there will be a notable change if Justin isnāt there. I mean, it would just be *Sync.
That being said, a lot of people have been waiting a long time for some thing like this, I think they just want their nostalgia thingy however itās presented to them.
Not that it matters to me. Itās not like theyāre going to tour Australia, anywayā¦
Thank you for the support! I know ans have said many times that I have issues with Justin and how he has handled things *Nsync. But just like the other 4, he was at least 20% of the band and shaped it in a lot of ways. Iām not judging people, I understand the frustration, and I am not the center of the universe so if thatās the general mood, thats what it is.
Youāre probably right about Australia :( i wish bands were more fair when it comes to āworld toursā and not limit themselves to Canada, the US, and 3 cities in Europe.
Also, I would just think that if he sees a largely hostile fandom, that would make it even less likely than it is now for him to ever reconsider joining the group.
But he didnāt kind of bring this on himself? For years he acted like he was embarrassed by Nsync, like he wanted people to forget he was in it.
I am not condoning his rude behavior and have criticized him for it in the past, yet I believe he has redeemed himself at least in some ways (supporting Story of Kate, VMAs 2013, WoF speech, posting about the Ariana performance). I do believe speaking critically about his behavior past *Nsync should not be equated with trying to erase his part in the group or trying to say nobody needs him anyway. If people like him or not, he was an integral part of *NSYNC, without him JC would have never been in the band (as he was the one to recommend him back in the day). So I would appreciate if people ciuld seperate their criticism of Justin's douchey behavior from hsi part in *NSYNC between 1995 and 2002. I think fans like to conveniently forget that JC for years acted annoyed when asked about a reunion too, so Justin is not the only one. Either way, for many fans, *NSYNC was the biggest thing in Justin's life. To him it might (I am not in his head or think I can speak for him) only be 7 cool teenage/early adulthood years. He has been a solo performer for over 17 years now (as a comparison). But that's only speculation.
