You don’t have to ask Lance Bass twice for an *NSYNC reunion.
The crooner, who is gearing up to host the HGTV special Outrageous Holiday Houses, was feeling particularly nostalgic for the 90s boy band’s smash holiday album, Home for Christmas. “It just turned 21 this week, which is weird: Our album can officially drink the eggnog legally,” he told Yahoo Entertainment. “And that was one of my favorite albums — actually, probably my favorite album we ever recorded.”
The anniversary comes just months after the band–sans Justin Timberlake–joined Ariana Grande onstage at Coachella for a mini reunion. “It was a special time, because we didn’t know what people were going to react to. Immediately, you think in this whole social media world that the majority are just going to take the negative route with it, and just make fun of us and be like, ‘Look at these old farts onstage!’” he explained. “But it didn’t go that way. It was a beautiful thing… because there was a bunch of dudes loving this performance, right? And back in the day, you weren’t allowed to really admit you liked ‘NSYNC if you were a guy. But now that so many years have passed, the guys are like, ‘Oh yeah, we love those guys.’ So, it’s nice to see that no one has to care about not liking us in public.”
As for a full blown reunion? “Look, you don’t have to ask me. I’m in!” Bass replied. “I would love to do more ‘NSYNC music. … I mean, it would be a choice. If there’s any time, it would be right now.”
“I mean, it’s hard to get all five of us to agree to do anything,” he continued. “We’re such boys, and the communication is horrible. We’re great on text about sending silly stupid things, but when it comes down to business, it’s really hard for us to make a decision on stuff. And I mean, Justin is killing it right now. He hasn’t had a break since we recorded last.”
