**SNEAK PEAK** "GOD MUST HAVE SPENT A LITTLE MORE TIME ON YOU" Video**
The guys are wearing cream colored suits. The concept of the video is about
a baby boy growing up. You see him grow up and then he is sent off to war
and his mom and girlfriend miss him while he's away. He doesn't write and
they don't know where he is, until one day he comes home. And they all live
happily ever after!
*N SYNC performed in a show with other bands in Germany last Saturday. here
is a review from my friend Conny: they were dressed up as old nutty professors
and danced to a mix which included songs of Flip Mo Squad and other rap songs
and their own songs. Then they performed TUMH, then they did I drive myself
crazy and then they did U drive me crazy.
* There's a two page spread on the Fly Free to Hollywood contest (where the
girls got to meet *N SYNC), an article on them (the first one ahead of the
BSB again!) and then pinups of every guy except Justin cuz he's got a centerfold
and then a thing on Joey in his own writing and a pinup and centerfold of
all the guys, then JC is on the back of the cover and then they're in Maximum
Tuneage section, and then there is a question on Chris' braces.

vote for it...no one will see it on the countdown so they encouraged us to
vote for God Must Have Spent.
*N SYNC accomplished a rare feat by a musical act when both of their albums
appeared in the top ten on the Billboard 200 album chart this week. *N SYNC
