From dancing, drum beats, and falsettos, NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached” album “hinted at where pop music, and pop culture, were headed.” Looking back 20 years later, the album has changed the music industry and etched its place in history.

" features TLC's Lisa"Left Eye" Lopes herself. Long before features were a necessity for pop acts in a competitive music market, NSYNC had begun to mirror hip-hop by seeking out cross-genre collaborations — even linking with the original Latin crossover artist, Gloria Estefan, for""Nelly ... we did a song with Phil Collins ... we did a song with Stevie Wonder. We did a whole special with Tim McGraw," Kirkpatrick says.

"I remember teaching Justin how to pop — which the world called 'popping and locking,' but it was popping — and how to do the glide, like Michael Jackson did," Henson recalls over the phone. By 2000, Henson had made his name as the moment's"it" choreographer, having worked with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jagged Edge during the current pop wave, as well as New Kids on the Block and Color Me Badd during the previous one.

Like"Thriller" or"Single Ladies," Henson's choreography for"Bye Bye Bye" included a few specific, easily imitated moves that became indelible parts of the song's identity: a swaggy three-part hand clap that he calls the"puppet hand," and a complementary set of fist pumps. The New York native says he drew on his Bronx b-boy roots for inspiration.

NSYNC's experiments with black art forms mostly tiptoed around any explicit discussion of race, though perhaps no more so than much of pop culture at the time. But Henson says he felt he could trust the group to treat the work respectfully."They had an honest appetite for the people who came before them. If it was someone who I felt was going to bastardize it, I would have never done it," he says.
