The first music video that I can remember seeing was “Bye bye bye” by NSync. I remember that my family had just gotten cable television because we had just moved into an apartment in town. We used to live in the country and we only got about five different channels. Then we moved and lived in town, and my family bought cable for our TV. I remember that my aunt was babysitting me that day and was watching television so I came out of my room to see what she was watching because I was bored. I don’t know why I remember this, but I remember that she was watching a countdown of the top ten music videos of the week, and I had just heard “Bye bye bye” on the radio so I told her that I thought that the number one music video would be that song. She disagreed with me and said that it had been out too long so it wouldn’t be that one. While we were talking the television was playing commercials. The number one video was coming right up after the commercials. So I remember that we both sat there and finally the commercials were over and the announcers on the television began to introduce the number one song and to my aunt’s chagrin and to my delight, the number one video was “Bye bye bye” by NSync. I felt great after that. From what I can recall, I gave my aunt a pretty rough time about it. I kept reminding her that I was right about the number one video and she was wrong. I kept saying, “shouldn’t you have been right, not me?” After a while she got fed up with me and just told me to shut up. So I did. Because even though I was right, she was babysitting me. And I wanted a snack.

I was a huge N'SYNC fan. It's sad to say that even now I could probably remember all the words to their songs if they were played. I saw them in concert once. I don't even remember how old I was. Sometime in elementary school though I am sure. Didn't they break-up or something around 5 grade? I don't remember. It is funny though to go back and look at the styles of clothing and hair in the '90s. I'm sure our kids will look back at us though when we're older and be like "Why did you wear that?"
I love the way you ended that. I think its really interesting that you chose NSYNC because alot of guys would rather pretend that they never ever heard NSYNC. I do remember how big NSYNC was though. We all did music videos in the sixth grade and I couldnt tell you how many girls did NSYNC, with giant NSYNC shirt on, or shirts that said Mrs. Timberlake.
