Joey McIntyre On Justin & Nick Going Solo

MTV News spoke with former New Kids on the Block member Joey McIntyre and former New Edition member Johnny Gill, who weighed in on the prospects for the solo careers of *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake and his Backstreet Boys rival Nick Carter. “Justin’s hitting the ground running, and Nick’s been away for a while,” McIntyre explained. “It’s only been a year, but it’s going to be harder for him. The segue wasn’t as quick. Justin’s done some stuff to make his segue a little bit easier. He has aligned a lot of people in his corner. He’s really not missing a beat. Business-wise, it’s a smart move.” Read more of their comments here.
