okk welll thys is too funny bcuz i know more than half the girls here are under 15 (the ones whu are voting for nlt). NLT is never gonna make it in my point of view(no offense nlt fans). What do you think made nsync sell so many albums in the 1st place?? duhh cuz they were awesome. Evryone knows Nsync will alwayss be where they belong on top rite after BACKSTREET BOYS, hehe BSB IS NUMBER HANDS DOWN.
