Product Description
Product Description
At sixteen, Lance Bass received a phone call from Justin Timberlake that would change his life forever. Soon after, he left his small-town home in Clinton, Mississippi, to join an emerging musical group called *NSYNC. Two years later *NSYNC was inspiring Beatles-esque mania around the world, becoming the face of the new MTV generation, and earning the all-time record for most album sales in a single day (more than one million) and in a single week for No Strings Attached.
He's remained in the spotlight ever since, and here he talks in depth for the first time about his childhood, his astonishing experiences as a young man and Christian growing up in one of the biggest bands in the world, his shock and frustration at the band's eventual dissolution, and his subsequent career, including his four months in Russia, training to become a cosmonaut.
He also frankly discusses life as a gay man -- his first same-sex relationship at twenty-one, his struggle to keep his sexuality hidden from *NSYNC's fans in case it jeopardized the band's success, and the true circumstances that led to his decision to publicly come out at the age of twenty-seven.
Full of fascinating behind-the-scenes lore and revealing insights from a pop star who, until now, has been notoriously private, Out of Sync is the book that millions of fans have been waiting for.

Lance Bass- not juicy enough, Aug 4 2009
By Future Star - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Out of Sync (Paperback)
It was a ok read. I read it in one night. I was really looking for something juicy. It was interesting that someone FINALLY confirmed that Nsync did in fact break up, not just a break.Seems Justin Timberlake saw the spotlight and realized that it was time for him to leave. Such a shame though, Nsync was a great group.

A different point of view, Mar 23 2012

It was a nice read. He was not the biggest member of the group but at least he had a story to tell from his point of view about what happen with Nsync and his coming out.

I wish this had been interesting or ghostwritten at least, Jun 23 2011

This review is from: Out of Sync (Paperback)
It is an incredibly thin book, especially for a paperback, with wide margins and huge font, and overall, not much to say. Maybe the years have passed and the novelty and shock of being homosexual and famous have worn off to leave this to be harmless drivel, a relatively straightforward narrative with the one (oft repeated) twist of being in the closet at the time. It recycles MTV News reports on Lou Pearlman's defrauding of the boy bands (and Lance Bass was in the closet at the time! Did you get that the first fifty times?). The confession came long after the boy bands were relevant, and with their fans looking back in nostalgia and hoping to add some wry adult perspective to their once silly crushes, this book is a relic of a fantasy land in which a boy bander's homosexuality is an interesting enough concept to carry an entire memoir.In all fairness, I started out the summer with the intention of reading mind-numbing, self-indulgent C list celebrity memoirs, so I knew what I was getting myself into. This book was the beginning and the end of that mission, because I couldn't even laugh at it, let alone justify wasting my time. He seems like a nice enough guy, sheltered from ever having to become interesting or complex by the two facts that dominate the book and his existence: being famous and being gay. I'm just glad I didn't pay more than three bucks for this.
Listmania!
