Girl-lock is expected in Times Square tomorrow as
hundreds of panting teenyboppers mob the sidewalks outside MTV's
street-front studio to catch a glimpse of the boys from 'Nsync. The
popular, squeaky-clean quintet is scheduled to
appear on the cable music network's "Total Request Live" show between
3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to unveil their new single, "Bye, Bye, Bye,"
from their latest album, "No Strings Attached."
MTV is expected to provide extra security inside and
out to restrain screaming fans. City cops will also be on hand.
The last time the band was in the MTV studio, last
year, hundreds of fans mobbed the area. The studio on Broadway and
43rd Street is on the second floor, but fans can easily catch a glimpse
through its windows.
'Nsync, a dance-pop vocal group, landed its first
recording contract in late 1997 with RCA. The boys' debut album, with hits
like "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart," skyrocketed on the
charts and went platinum.
After tomorrow's studio interview with MTV host
Carson Daly -- the boys will not perform -- they'll start packing to go to
Atlanta, where they'll sing Saturday at a pre-Super Bowl concert.
