I refuse to believe that JC was 42 in this performance. He still sounded and danced like he was in his 20s. Ariana, Lance, Joey, and Chris also killed it.
After how he was treated by the record labels during his first solo album, he ended up just canceling his second one and mostly retiring from singing and performing and generally just prefers to write for others. It's a shame someone with a voice like his doesn't make music anymore, but it's kind of understandable.
The amount of times I've come back and rewatched this iconic performance over the past three years! Thanks Ari for giving us our Nsync moment but giving us our first JC moment since the early 00s!
Actually JC was the best natural dancer. He was in a dance troupe (one of the reasons he was a great judge on MTV’s ABDC) before he ever sang live in public. Also, JC was the only Nsync member who could do one handed back springs and backflips live and then jump right back into singing. He is a very very rare talent, a triple threat. For sure Joey was the second best dancer, with Justin being third and Lance bring the worse dancer of them all.
there's used to be a full 1080p HD quality uploaded on Coachella's official YT Channel. It got uploaded a few days after Ari's performance the video got taken down after a year.
I don’t understand why those 4 guys wouldn’t keep the group going! Screw Justin! The 4 of them would kill it with JC as the lead, and maybe Chris covering Justin’s parts, kinda like Howie covering Kevin’s parts when he left BSB
They could do a good job, but they're still going to be another part missing to their sound. NSYNCs calling card is the five part harmony and without Justin 20% of it is missing
as of what I watched, JC and Chris says that NSYNC wouldn't be NSYNC without JT. They respect the decision of JT. 3 of them wants to be together (coz Chris wants to be with JT), but JT don't. This coachella performance, they asked permission to JT if they can perform without him. Thankfully, JT agreed. Hoping that JC, Joey, Chris and Lance will continue the name and band NSYNC without JT 🙏🤞
Damn, how I wish NSYNC hadn't been a surprise - I would've bought tickets the minute they went on sale just to see this 4 minute performance. I notice they've really toned down the choreography, as well. Can't do that "down on my knees" move in your 40s, lol. Still love these guys with all my heart and waiting for the reunion announcement someday.
that ninja420 i feel like it's just because they haven't been in the game in a while it's sad that jt won't do a reunion tour... i personally think they should do it without him
Brittany Hoffman have you seen 98 degrees try to dance to bye bye bye lol it's cute But sometimes joey Will make an appearance and he just blows them all away
at first I didn't really know much of their songs (nsync) but after this video I've been listening to more of their songs and... I'M OBSESSED THANKS ARI! (I'm 15 btw)
@@LadybugSarah86 The fact there are kids today who don't know their songs...man, that stuff was blasting everywhere back then, it's so weird. Let's hope they'll be alright 😂
Seeing how old they are just reminds me of how old I am. I was 11 when they debuted and have been a fan since the beginning. Wish I could have been there.
@City Beautiful Attractions yes omg that’s the real issue, idk why JC didn’t want to perform anymore. And yes he’s not a very good “entertainer” but he’s a very good performer.
@City Beautiful Attractions I just think JCs not a show off with his talents, and his quite shy generally. JT was cocky enough to keep at it and be a performer
@City Beautiful Attractions how can you say JC lacks the charisma and passion? He had better charisma than JT and undoubtedly had more passion than anybody in the group. You can see that everytime they performed back in the days. He always had the energy and passion to please the crowd and their fans. The main reason JT made it big was because of Britney, let's be honest. He's got the talent, but so does JC. And his popular relationship with her was what set him apart from the group's fame. JT's success has nothing to do with talent, charisma, or passion, because JC has all that and more. It had more to do with their personal lives during their peak. JC was the low-key and quiet guy in the group. He valued his privacy more than the others. And I say this because there's one interview of NSYNC where he said he just wanted to do music and wasn't so keen doing all the other things like interviews, guestings, etc. If JC was given the same opportunity and management as JT, he would have undoubtedly been an even more of a household name than JT. He doesn't chase fame and recognition, he's humble and down to earth with no ego, that's what makes him better than JT.
@@TheJulienne21 it just means that even though JC has charm and passion he's not going to use it as his base for fame. You either take him or you don't and the music industry didn't. He never liked the business side of it, he's said many times that it's stressful for him and he just wishes he could do the music part without all the drama. That in itself made it hard for him to stick around, whereas JT loved playing for the camera and use his charisma and passion to get him where he wanted to be. It's unfortunate but I don't blame him in the slightest for being 100% himself all the time and not settling for less than himself. I don't think they meant to bash JC lmao
Tearing up my heart starts.... this is awesome but they're not gonna dann.. .....wait....omg....they're dancing and it's the original cherorgraphy.... Life complete....
JC is still handsome but if I could marry someone I would marry JC's voice, damn his voice carry the NYSNC, I would not mind if there is a repacked of their old album and let JC sing all the line.
There's a lot going on here. In a good way. In Break Up W/ Ur Gf , Lance's backup dancer is a guy (yes!) Joey is carrying a lot more vocals in this song than usual (the intro, the parts where Chris would sing, he's just louder in general) Ariana holding down the choreo in heels JC and Joey dancing like hyperactive bunnies with precise dancing despite being over 40 Lance dancing BETTER than ever!! Chris' and Ari being gems harmonizing together And the choreo being cut down but they're still doing over the top things , like Joey carrying Ariana and running and going back to dance Idc what anyone says this is impressive and shows they still got it even if they don't want to reunite fully and JT didn't carry them in NSYNC they're all showmans this right here shows it.
Took me a month to finally watch their performance because i know i’ll be sad after watching it. Reasons: 1. Jealous of ari but also happy for her for doing this. hwhwhw shes basically living her childhood dream collaborating with @NSYNC 😭 2. in 2019, all the band members are already in their 40s meaning they cant perform some of the dance moves in this song like they were 20s. But im still happy they nailed the song! 3. This vid reminds me of how old they are now.😭and the fact they broke up already because there is no justin here. But im still happy after 20 years of working together as a boyband, they remain in good terms.🥺 4. The crowd was sooo dead AND there’s no HD version of this vid.😭 I understand this is not their concert but still this is a hugeeeeeee deal as they! perform! an! iconic! song! from! the! 90s! era! why! do! ppl! take! that! for! granted!
Lo que yo quiero saber cómo Ariana es tan sorprendente baila,canta y salta al mismo tiempo de cantar y con esos tacones enormes como es tan sorprendente mi niña i love You Arian🥳😙😙😚
I was sad when Nsync stop doing music. They were only together for 7 years. Backstreet boys and new kids on the block been together longer then Nsync and they still doing music. Even when Kevin left the BSB for awhile the group still went on with music. Nsync still could've done the same. JC could've taken over lead since he sings lead anyways.
Nsync should reunite with or without JT. They have the talent to go 4 man. JC would carry but Chris, Lance and Joey still got it. Westlife went on to thrive without Brian.
JC 😍 Justin não fez a menor falta!Vim do futuro,12/09/23 do dia que eles entregaram o prêmio pra Taylor, só pra dizer q aquela menina q os viu se apresentar ao vivo quando tinha 12 anos,tem muita vontade de ter essa oportunidade agora,aos 35.
Ariana, that lucky ass talented little fcker! This performance was beyond Amazing! I loved every second of this. Just an instant flashback to the beat of my childhood Awesome 😁🔥🔥❤
All the shit talk Lance got in the beginning...over the years he really worked his ass off for everything. He fricking ate that! Especially knowing they had very little time to rehearse.
Justin who? ;) I always thought JC was the better singer. Can we please get an NSYNC reunion!!?? Ideally, yes we should have Justin but it can be done without him. I would pay good money either way!

I need more JC on stage, wow.
43 actually, he is good
JC's energy at the age of 40+..... Never change,same with Joey,Chris and Lance.
Love how Ariana did the whole coreography
They all did.
"Choreography"
She is a genius in every department
3:58 Joey showing his supremacy, carring Ariana, putting her in front and running back to the exact moment to dance. Love *Nsync, always.
Ariana knows that JC is THE ONE!
Right Tho
She's good at dancing
He's always been the one.
@@Saltywinterchild WORD!
Heyll yeah he is!
It doesn’t surprise me that JC still sounds phenomenal, but hot damn he still got the moves. Why is he so perfect and not performing 😭
Right?!

Same girl, same! Can't understand how there isn't any HD footage of this set (really grateful for the crowd recordings tho)!
@@ROZIEEEE there is and trust me you don't even see them moved except Ari o rather stock to this video👌
many years have passed, but do you know that it does not change? most of the comments are about jc, im so proud of him
Oh my...JC..at the age 40 plus, you are still amazing on stage
Yes its absolutely amazing! I see no difference!
He Is a true star, a true performer
Yes very dam sexy and still puts on a amazing show!!
43 and performing better than a lot much younger artist
If they release a studio version I'm going to heaven
JC still out here dancing like his life depends on it. I think Joey was the best dancer in NSYNC in their heyday, but JC KILLED this one.
Nah, Lance has that sassy gay swag. Hes my favorite dancer.

JC is a good dancer ..hes always on point...synchronizes with th music...you can tell he had a lot of experienced before Mickey Mouse ..@wegotit2587

Nsync can go easily without JT, but not without JC. He is the soul of the band.
Lies, they need JT too. It's not the same.
I can agree!
You couldn't be more wrong JT was the best he went very far an JC is out here doing cat food commercials
Yeah
As much as I love JT, you are very right.
Damn, how I wish NSYNC hadn't been a surprise - I would've bought tickets the minute they went on sale just to see this 4 minute performance.

Still love these guys with all my heart and waiting for the reunion announcement someday.
Haha same!
Haha omg same! But JC can still dance for his life, it's so awesome! I hope they do a reunion tour. I'm almost 30 and will there in tears😂
JC was outdancing Ari’s dancers at 43
They all were holding a mic as opposed to the past where the band usually had a headset
@@nataliep501everyone except Ariana. She was the only one using a headset.

Ahh well glad you got introduced to 2nd best boy band from millennial generation.
They still got the moves damn 🥺🔥
Love this!!! Jc is just amazing!! ❤️👏
He didn't age well at all compared to the other guys. Still sounds great though.
Seeing how old they are just reminds me of how old I am. I was 11 when they debuted and have been a fan since the beginning. Wish I could have been there.
Thank U, Ariana. We, *NSYNC fans needed this medicine. We miss them so much.
If I was there, my 30 something self would've LOST. IT.
Periodt.
God knew to let me not go that year. Bat shit crazy i would have gone
Omg joey is fun to watch. Same old moves. Age is only a number. But jc killed it along with his voice. Its so cute. Gave me chills 😍💙💚💜
Ari a total performer indeed, look at those moves!! ❤❤❤
Who needs Justin? They can just replace him with Ariana. She doesn’t seem like she’d mind.
You forgot it’s ariana show
IKRRR LMAO
I'd mind
We need a studio version of this. Also, can we petition to have them tour together? Who needs Justin? Ariana KILLED this with them.

OMG JC 😭😭😭 He’s still fucking got it! They disbanded too early they could’ve had more success.
I agree 💔
Proof that they can still dance if they ever got back together!!!! Please do 🙏🏽
JC Forever...
JC fire as usual
So cute seeing her do the dance too!!
❤JC❤ danced like how he danced 25 yrs ago. Damn!
I would kill to be the Justin of *NSYNC. Ariana really lived the dream.
Yes she did! I bet it was mind blowing to perform with a group she grew up hearing on the radio! I would that opportunity too!
They have the same energy they had back in 2000.❤️
A damn phenomenal performance
JC pointing at her where to stay for dancing is cute and I think that they skipped the “on my knees” part because of her high heels
Even back in days sometimes they were skipping that part
jc is absolutely everything T-T ariana is so damn lucky
Wish JC wasn't a Hermit D: he is so talented man.
Ari is perfectly perfect
I could tell JC is her favorite. She danced with my men !!🤨😆
my girl ariana is DANCING
OMG!
Look JC!
He is still greaaaaaaaat! =)
so glad to see lance dance with a men on stage :)
Yes choreography thank you Ariana and *NSYNC
They can surely still dance.
Aww they’re wearing matching pants ❤️
1:20 YALL SEE JC???
literally insane
And she did the whole damn choreo lol
They can still dance! Wow!

You are wrong even back in days they were not doing down on ly knees in all performances videos are here on youtube you can check
This is not *NSYNC
This is *ASYNC
