Nsync: A True Talent in Music
             Here we go, the title of one of many Nsync songs, but it is also a term that cynics often
             use referring to the group. "Here we go, another "boy band", they all sound the same, etc., etc.,
             etc." I admit that two years ago I agreed with the critics of this new "boy band" movement, in

             yet been won over by those two songs were soon captured by a sweet ballad, God Must Have
             Spent A Little More Time On You. Personally, as cheesy as it may sound, it helped me through
             one of the toughest moments I've had to deal with, my grandmothers death in November of 1998.
             God Must Have Spent...... in a way was a therapy to help me think of the good moments I had
             spent with her. After that release I ...
