Puffy Opening A Gamble That Pays Off For *NSYNC

Bill Ellis of GoMemphis.com reviewed *NSYNC’s show at The Pyramid on Thursday before a crowd of about 16,000. Ellis said, “Having the rowdier P. Diddy (a.k.a. Puff Daddy; a.k.a. Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs) open the concert seemed an odd move for the world’s biggest boy band – unless said band is ready for adulthood, which they are, and not just because ‘NSync members have been spotted ‘NEbriated. The double bill gamble paid off, however. P. Diddy had the largely young, largely female audience waving their hands in the air like they just didn’t care.”
