Boy band fans have been waiting patiently for the reunion of Justin Timberlake's alma mater, and it finally happened (kind of) when NSYNC hit the stage together at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.男孩樂隊(duì)的粉絲們一直在耐心地等待賈斯汀·汀布萊克母校的重聚,當(dāng)NSYNC在2023年MTV音樂錄影帶大獎上一起登臺時(shí),事情終于發(fā)生了。
Fittingly, the group last performed together in public at the VMAs in 2013. But this time there was no music involved. The quintet reunited at Tuesday's live show, presenting the Best Pop award, which went to Taylor Swift.
恰如其分的是,該組合上一次在VMA公開演出是在2013年。但這次沒有音樂參與。五重奏在周二的現(xiàn)場演出中重聚,頒發(fā)了泰勒·斯威夫特的最佳流行音樂獎。
Upon accepting the award from the group, a visibly shook Swift, who admitted to having dolls of the group growing up, said what we all were thinking, "Are you doing something? What's gonna happen now? They're gonna do something and I need to know what it is." The group played coy as the pop star continued, "You guys are pop personified so to receive this from your golden pop hands is really, it's too much."
在接受該組合的獎項(xiàng)時(shí),斯威夫特明顯感到震驚,他承認(rèn)自己從小就有該組合的玩偶,他說我們都在想,“你在做什么嗎?現(xiàn)在會發(fā)生什么?他們會做什么,我需要知道這是什么。”,“你們是流行音樂的化身,所以從你們金色的流行音樂之手收到這個真的太過分了。”
By the end of the evening, it was clear that Swift's question of "What's gonna happen now?" had no answer as the group didn't appear again, although Timberlake did have a memorable run-in with Megan Thee Stallion backstage.
當(dāng)晚結(jié)束時(shí),很明顯,斯威夫特關(guān)于“現(xiàn)在會發(fā)生什么?”的問題沒有得到回答,因?yàn)闃逢?duì)沒有再次出現(xiàn),盡管汀布萊克在后臺確實(shí)與梅根·斯泰利翁發(fā)生了令人難忘的沖突。
While the Backstreet Boys — the Megadeth to NSYNC's Metallica — have embarked upon world tours in 2019-20 and over the last two years, NSYNC has been quiet for a decade. And, really, they'd gone silent for six years prior to that.
雖然后街男孩樂隊(duì)——NSYNC的Metallica樂隊(duì)的Megadeth樂隊(duì)——在2019-20年和過去兩年里開始了世界巡演,但NSYNC已經(jīng)沉寂了十年。事實(shí)上,在那之前,他們已經(jīng)沉默了六年。
Their VMAs reunion is the culmination of more than a month of speculation about NSYNC reuniting in the near future. The rumors were kicked off by, of all things, Trolls.
他們的VMA重聚是一個多月來關(guān)于NSYNC在不久的將來重聚的猜測的高潮。謠言是由巨魔引發(fā)的。
Timberlake has been a staple of the Trolls movies, voicing Branch, one of the main characters, in Trolls, Trolls World Tour, and the upcoming Trolls Band Together, as well as some of its streaming releases.
Timberlake一直是巨魔電影的主要角色,在《巨魔》、《巨魔世界巡回演唱會》、即將上映的《巨魔樂隊(duì)在一起》以及一些流媒體電影中為主角Branch配音。
In the upcoming movie, Branch discovers a long-lost brother, who reveals they used to have a family band called BroZone. The trailer's deluge of boy band references had fans speculating that Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick—the other four members of NSYNC — would join Timberlake for a song in the movie.
在即將上映的電影中,Branch發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個失散多年的兄弟,他透露他們曾經(jīng)有一個名為BroZone的家庭樂隊(duì)。預(yù)告片中大量提及男孩樂隊(duì),粉絲們猜測NSYNC的其他四名成員蘭斯·巴斯、JC Chasez、喬伊·法通和克里斯·科克帕特里克將與汀布萊克一起在電影中演唱一首歌。
The Trolls Band Together trailer shows BroZone covering the BeeGees (as NSYNC did at the 2003 Grammys) and the Backstreet Boys. They also drop hints in the trailer, like one brother shouting, "Branch, we're out of sync." There has also been a cascade of teases unleashed on social media by the members not named Justin.
Trolls Band Together預(yù)告片顯示BroZone報(bào)道了BeeGees(就像NSYNC在2003年格萊美頒獎典禮上所做的那樣)和Backstreet Boys。他們還在預(yù)告片中暗示,比如一個兄弟大喊:“Branch,我們不同步了。”社交媒體上也出現(xiàn)了一系列不叫Justin的成員的調(diào)侃。
So, when members of the group were spotted around New York in the lead-up to Tuesday's VMAs, speculation ratcheted up to 11. If there is anything more to the reunion beyond the VMAs and Trolls, that will make Timberlake a very busy man in 2023. NSYNC reunited, Reptile will be released on Netflix in October, Trolls Band Together hits theaters in November, and he's probably singing "Just Got Paid" to himself on repeat.
因此,在周二的VMA之前,當(dāng)該組織的成員在紐約被發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí),猜測增加到了11人。如果說除了VMA和Trolls之外,這次重聚還有什么意義的話,那將使Timberlake在2023年成為一個非常忙碌的人。NSYNC重聚,爬行動物 將于10月在Netflix上映,Trolls Band Together將于11月上映,他可能會重復(fù)唱《Just Got Payed》。
