"I was in the biggest band in the world and selling millions of records…but I can't even afford my apartment in Orlando. I couldn't even get a car," Bass told"20/20."“We never ever flew on a Trans Continental airplane,” Lance Bass of *NSYNC told “20/20.” “We would fly to different places over in Europe, and we’d always be on these Delta flights, you know, in coach.
"I knew he was a scamster," Bass said."It was one of the many jaw-dropping things that I discovered in producing 'The Boy Band Con.'"Pearlman was running a blimp business when he decided to start a boy band. At the time, New Kids on the Block was enormously popular. Singers Jonathan Knight, Danny Wood, Jordan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg and Joey McIntyre, of New Kids On The Block perform during a video shoot, circa 1989.Pearlman, a Queens, New York, native, had moved to Orlando, Florida, in the early 1990s. He put an ad in the Orlando Sentinel that said: Producer seeks male teen singers that move well between 16 and 19 years of age, wanted for a New Kids type singing dance group.
In May 1993, Backstreet Boys made their first public appearance at SeaWorld. Pearlman made a tape of the performance and sent it around to people in the industry. "They would do three shows a day in three different schools," Johnny Wright told"20/20.""They would bust out on the gym floor and the girls would lose their mind and they had never heard of them before."
Max Martin would go on to become one of the most successful hit makers of our time. He wrote the Britney Spears song “…Baby One More Time.” He co-wrote Katy Perry’s “Roar” and he co-wrote “Shake It Off” with Taylor Swift. "When I first sat down with Lou… he had it in his mind that he was ready to have another band," Kirkpatrick said."So right away I was totally in. But he had this weird-- it was always like a secret. Like, everything was, you know, 'I'm doing this, but I'm also working with them. So don't tell anybody about this. Don't say that I'm involved with you. Don't say that you really even know me, but I'm going to try to help you guys out.
As he had done with Backstreet Boys, Pearlman put the *NSYNC members into a boot camp of sorts with choreographers, voice lessons and tutors. Bass said they would practice dance moves for hours in Pearlman’s blimp hangar, which Bass says would get incredibly hot.
