I see little difference in the way that the Beatles were formed and the way that N'Sync was formed. N'Sync was formed when Chris Kirkpatrick assembled a group of chidhood friends and approached Lou Pearlman. Lou then tinckered with the lineup. N'Sync also did much of their song writing.

The only real difference you've pointed out is that the Beatles can't dance. And that has more to do with what was in fashion in pop music at the time.
Do you think the members of N'Sync will go on to have successful solo music careers like the members of the Beatles did?

Why would I do that when they are already very successful recycling their song?

Or Hedley. That new song of theirs is one of the most thinly-veiled rape attempts I've ever heard with a backing track.

I don’t know if you’re ready to go
Where I’m willing to take you girl
I will feel every inch of your skin
And you know I can rock your world
Imma be the calm in the storm you’re looking for
I’ll be the shipwreck that takes you down
I don’t mind if you lie in my bed
We can stay here forever now.
Ouuu oohhhhh
Turn off the lights
Take off your clothes
Turn on the stereo
Ouuu oohhhhh
Give up the fight
I’m in control

Why don’t you let it go.
Yeah, I wanna know you inside out
I’ll spend my life trying to figure out
Just close your eyes and shut your mouth
And let me kiss you inside out.


Yikes.

I think you may be reading into those lyrics. I'm pretty sure the song is about dining at the Y with a first time visitor.

Timberlake already has a very successful career. And when you say "like the members of the Beatles did?", let's face it, you are referring to Lennon and McCartney.

Actually I think you may be right, but on closer inspection it seems to be about cleaning discarded soda cans out of your bushes.

Hey, Ringo was able to land the same kind of gigs George Carlin was able to. That's pretty successful.

Ya, because that Harrison guy was such a slacker. I mean All Things Must Pass was such a lame POS. Kinda like No Strings Attached but worse.

Alberta would be better off if Danielle Smith was the Premier.

I've also enjoyed a number of Ringo's songs too.

And that album was the work of George Harrison and George Harrison alone...This explains why he was able to continue this success through later albums, which were not widely panned by critics in any way.
