Be The Comeback

In the middle of my vacation I got a text that said "Stop what you are doing...NSYNC is getting back together for the VMAs Sunday".

Can I just tell you that the 15 year old girl in me CAME BACK ALIVE and it took everything I had not to scream out (we were driving)?!

SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR. OMG!! OMG!!!- that wasnt even around when they were cool.

Now I am hearing reports that it not going to happen- that all of the members- minus JC- have flown out to see Justin accept his lifetime achievement award and it isn't because we will be seeing them perform together again.

Stop. The. Bus. For real? You are going to play with MILLIONS of girl's hearts like that and tease us for the real comeback we have been waiting 11 years for?

I don't know about you- but I know this would mean more than anything to the 25-35 year old ladies right now. If I could say something to N*SYNC (notice that star is for the true fans)- it would be this:

Every boy band of your time has gotten back together- and not only reignited thousands of WOMEN'S- not girls- Women's hearts and passion for fun pop music- they have recruited THOUSANDS more fans. They have made summer concerts fun again- and made mega bucks in the process.

Boyz II Men. 98 Degrees. Backstreet Boys. Heck- even New Kids on the Block- from way back when of my 90ties childhood. They all came back- and came back swinging.

Dont you think its time? It is time to show ol Biebster how it is really done. Time to say- HEY HEY- then you can leave again.

If you think you are some washed up- has been boy band- think again. Girls, women in their late twenties, STILL make references about you. We play it our weddings- we jam out on our workout playlists- and we still know every dance move to Tearin Up My Heart and Bye Bye Bye. Let me even say you were so cool that guys our age still know the lyrics and dance moves. And still do. Ask my husband.

I am pretty sure that isnt the case with pop music now.

Let me give you some insight as to how obsessed my generation was with you- and keep in mind that YOU were BEFORE Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, blogs, and ANY SOCIAL MEDIA. You had millions of fans follow you- honey I even memorized a limo tag number that was in your first VHS. Did you hear that? WE HAD TAPES OF YOU. DVDs werent event around!

We wore baby blue to all of your concerts- I had TEEN BEAT posters of you on my closet, my ceiling, my locker, my notebooks- oh I even had the N*SYNC pen set. We knew (and probably still do) know your birthdays, your interests, and your hometowns.

Eat eat eat- all day long- eat eat eat while I sing this song- COME ON- you know only die-hards know where that came from!

I can assure you that I wasnt the only girl who waited next to tour busses just for a glimpse of you. We rewound (is that even a word?) the VHS Madison Square Garden of Lance LICKING the floor on Digital Get Down and laughed so hard we cried when the girl falls out of her chair when Justin is singing This I Promise you to her.

We were so shocked when you flew over the crowd for your first tour to Sailing. Come on- no one even remakes classics anymore!

To say we were obsessed is an understatement. We lived for the moments when you were on TRL or any tv or radio show. I even have a cd of just interviews with yall.

And it aint Christmas til we break out the N*SYNC Christmas cd. Seriously- and it plays until midnight December 31st.

The VMAs were the highlight of the end of summer- because we knew we would get to see you perform one last time before school started. 9/9/99- do you even remember that? When you danced on the desks? We do.

You were marionettes. You were locked in padded rooms and straight jackets. You wore cowl neck sweaters in a forest with bubbles. You started hair trends that will never be forgotten. You all have a tattoo in flames of NSYNC.

Come. ON. We want you back. Make the decision tomorrow- because its Friday night. You are Tearing up our hearts keeping us waiting. All the music today really is Dirty Pop. Giddy Up. Lets do this. This I Promise you- your fans never said Bye Bye Bye- and never will. You are the Music of our Hearts and forever we want to be your Girlfriend.

You were awesome- and you have the chance to be that now. Don't disappoint us again- and force us to go through the emotion of being let down to an all time low.
