singer with the pop group ‘N Sync

“Sure, I remember the first album. It was ‘Thriller’ -- Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller.’ I think that for everybody that was my age, that was the first record that they bought.

“Back in the day, that was the deal. Nobody was better than Michael Jackson. In fact, I remember thinking about all of the hit singles from the album and how many millions of copies that it sold and things like that, and I just thought that nobody could ever do that again. There’s no way anybody could touch Michael Jackson.”
