who knew I had so much to say about a boy band

You HAVE to watch the video first.



Nick: Ok guys, we can't dance but we're hot. Well, Jeff and I are hot, we've been working out. You guys... Drew kind of looks like me so that's ok, but you with the sunglasses, just stay in the back and try to follow along. We just need you for your bass voice.

Jeff: When we're on the beach can I just wear a tank top? I got a new tattoo that I think would be perfect for the video.

On the beach...
Nick: Jeff, seriously? A 98* tattoo?

Jeff: It's cool though, right? I thought maybe you guys would want one too. Then we could all match and have like a brotherhood thing.

Nick: Of course it's cool! I just can't believe you got it without me! You are definitely coming with me to get mine. I want them to be exactly the same.


On the bridge...
Drew: Oh my gosh, you guys. Do you see where we are standing?? We are on top of this red bridge!

Nick: Yeah, it's no big deal. I pulled a few strings and they let us come up here for a few hours to film. Don't mess with anything or they'll never let me do this again. And the helicopter is only going over once so don't get it wrong.

Bass guy: Hey, hey you guys. Remember that movie Titanic? If we paired up, we could totally recreate that one seen with Leo and the girl. Especially with these shirts we're wearing. It's perfect!

Choreography...
Nick: Alright, they're telling us we need some kind of movement in the video. We already know we can't dance like N*SYNC and we don't have the fan base of Backstreet Boys, so we've got to do something. I think we can handle what Jeff has prepared here. Take it away Jeff.

Jeff: Well, it's really only a few moves that we just kind of rotate through, but randomly so no one catches on. We have the "point", "open arms", "hand against the chest", and "reach, grab, pull". They're all pretty self-explanatory so let's just get a quick demonstration and then we'll wing it.

Drew: Is it ok if we throw in a couple "point to the brain" moves? I mean we say "mind" a lot so...

Make up...
They did a great job with Nick. He looks like a woman.


Apparently no one talks to 98* but the members. And Nick also helps with the production (getting the helicopter, asking Jeff to choreograph)

AND

Why does every band have a rebel who doesn't fit in? Think about it:

  • N*SYNC: Chris- dreads in a high ponytail and tinted glasses? you think that looks good? 
  • 98*: bass guy- I don't even know his name but he has facial hair which throws everything off, and he wears tinted glasses too!
  • Backstreet Boys: AJ- I guess the rebel with that many tattoos and piercings would be the one to write "I don't care who you are, where your from, don't care what you did, as long as you love me"


(Thanks Cerissa for the inspiration.)

Amanda- I have to say that I totally blog stalk you and have been meaning to comment for a while now. I love your blog. It makes me laugh all the time. Especially this one. The best part is, you know all the 98 degrees guys names. (except the one guy with glasses- Justin isn't it?) Which I do too, obviously. This post made me laugh out loud! Keep it up!!
