N the Mix


*N the Mix is the first VHS/DVD by NSYNC. It was released on December 14, 1998, through RCA/BMG labels. The video compiles a collection of essential NSYNC content, among its highlights is a detailed account of the group's formation, tracing their origins in Orlando through to the final lineup featuring Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timberlake.
The release features alternate versions of music videos, including the U.S. and European edits of "I [Want You Back |I Want You Back]", as well as hit singles like "Tearin' Up My Heart" and " [A Little More Time on You]", accompanied by behind-the-scenes insights into their production. Backstage footage, live performances—such as the pivotal Disney Channel special—and documentation of early tours provide a comprehensive look at the group's artistic evolution.
Rare material, including Germany-exclusive singles, as well as candid moments showcasing the members' offstage personalities and hobbies, further enriches the collection. The DVD also preserves iconic performances like "Crazy for You", featuring the band's signature choreography, cementing its status as an indispensable resource for both fans and scholars of 1990s and 2000s pop music. It also includes photos, chaptering that allows viewers to watch each band member separately and a karaoke function.

Critical reception

The AllMusic website rated the project four out of five stars. The site's critic, JT Griffith, gave a favorable review, noting that fans of the group would certainly appreciate the content. He emphasized that, compared to unofficial DVDs, this official release offers quality access, sharp images, and a fun experience. However, he pointed out that, since it predates the album No [Strings Attached |No Strings Attached], the DVD does not include songs like "Bye Bye Bye", also recommending other works by the band, such as Making the Tour and Live at Madison Square Garden, to complement fans' collections.
