I Want You Back

Nate and I were watching these last night and they were blowing my mind. I remember getting butterflies watching and listening to N'SYNC my sophomore and junior years of high school with my friend Julie. We watched the dance moves in "I Want You Back" over and over again because we thought they were pretty cool/sexy: see video at 0:45, 1:16, and 3:06. Nate was disgusted by these moves by the way, as I am now over ten years later. There's way too much to comment about in these videos so it's best just to watch. I do want to say that I'm amazed at how Justin Timberlake went from this to a highly desired bachelor.

A few things. First off, how is it they all look like baby dinosaurs or amphibians ? Secondly, I remember Julie practicing those dance moves. I must have been on my mission, because I don't recall ever seeing those silky lycra half zip shirts-I do remember Julie's yellow tech vest. The first video is horrible, the second was makes me laugh. The guys are getting the hair done, picking out clothes and then they have a basketball scene as if that would make them all not gay...too late perm faces...you're gay. Well except JT, some how he snuck out of their squeaky clean...and became black?

Too bad i quit taking dance classes during the height of videos like this and now all i'm left with is a memory full of these exact dance moves. they really got programed in. maybe it's just the natural way we are meant to move? i guess i agree with bird...pure genius.

thanks mama neesh for the refresher.
