Will Lance Bass' New Boy Band Be as Big as *NSYNC?

Remember boy bands? Well, as reported back in June, former *NSYNC-er Lance Bass is trying to bring them back -- spiky gelled hair, coordinated dance routines, matching track suits and all. Lance has dubbed his new group "Heart2Heart," and in true teenybopper form, their debut music video, 'Facebook Official,' is about, duh, love -- this time in the 21st century internet age.

"I like your status, two thumbs up/ I met you last week when you played flip cup/ ... Put a heart on your page, a heart on your page/ Lets make it official, baby you and me you and me/ Facebook official," the guys sing while throwing squinty-eyed gazes at the camera.

Heart2Heart was formed on the model of five-piece boy band, reminiscent of New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys and of course, *NSYNC -- but perhaps a decade too late. Producer/mentor Bass cameos in the video, which follows the eye liner-wearing boys from the basketball court to the dance studio.

While some might dismiss Heart2Heart as a last gasp of the once-popular boy band era, let's not forget the retro NKOTBSB revival that happened this summer! But, does Heart2Heart have what it takes to live up to their predecessors and usher in a new wave of boy banders? Check out their music video below and decided for yourself.

Okay, N'Sync's POP is a really really stupid song too, but Heart2Heart's Facebook Offical is EVEN WORSE !!!!!!!!

OMG, have we been punked ?

Not only do they have NO talent, but could they have dated this song in a timely fashion even more ? I mean, ten year from now Facebook probebly won't even exist and some other media network would have taken it's place, thus ten years from now nobody will know what this song is talking about.

But seeing as Justin Timberlake himself was always nothing more then a pretty-boy no-talent unimaginitive cow, how could we expect anything good to come from Lance Bass, who is even worse then him ?

Justin Timberlake + Lance Bass + Heart2Heart = Just a bunch of unoriginal, talentless, overrated Pretty Boy Trash who keep their stupid careers alive by embarrassing themselves and shocking the media.

Oh, and message for Justin Timberlake .... stop marketing your music and merchandise to the preteen training-bra set. You're 30 years old and therefore too old to be dating preteens, let alone using your pretty boy looks to prey on them by marketing your CRAP to them. I hope you and Lance get arrested for being petiphiles if you continue, you retarded jerks.

ROFLMAO, OH MY GOD. I HONESTLY FELT SICK WATCHING IT. Ok, lets get serious for a minute. Look at the images of the boy bands that made it vs ones that didnt. NKOTB, NSCYNC, Backstreet Boys, The Jackson 5, New Edition, hell , even the Osmonds Vs, these guys. Bands where every members is too cute, made up to the extreme is an overload of fluff. All the winning bands had members that were cute but also members that looked like regular guys. It gave variety to the target audience (teenage girls) and expanded the scope of their appeal to older girls (who like the bad boys) and guys who could get into the music without being made fun of. The song sucked too and that is not good for a first time out. A dying art form will only ignite if it comes back in a blaze, not a twinkie filled puff pastry. Lance, You missed the mark big time. Scrub their faces, wash the product and the highlights out their hair, jeans, tee shirts coordinated, remake a older song not from a boy band , preferable a soulful one, like Try a Little Tenderness or a Motown classic to show they have range and broader appeal. Toughen up one or two members, (Tats, maybe on the neck) and first showcase of the Vid offer it not to MTV but BET to give it some cred. Its a form of music that wont die, just needs to be marketed for the audience of today who has seen it not too long ago and see it weekly on Glee and other shows like it.

Lance Bass needs to move on. Creating an eerily feminine boy band isn't going to make him any more successful. LOL bad hair on all of them as well. Really bad.
