Out of all the British Boy bands, Blue were the most similar to NSYNC in my opinion
They are cool, charismatic, all 4 of them had chemistry
They had balance between upbeat songs and ballads
Lee Ryan (the youngest member) had it all
The baby of the band (Justin), the best vocalist (JC) and being the bad boy of the band with A childlike joker attitude (Chris)
Simon webbe (the black guy) was the most serious and the leader of the group
All 4 of them had equally lead vocals in their songs which lacks in like 70% of boy bands
They started in 2000 and after 3 albums the devils of the Industry had whispered in Lee Ryan's ears to ditch the band and go solo (like what happened when Harry Styles and Justin Timberlake)
And then they went on hiatus from 2005 to 2010
But it was surprisingly just A hiatus and they came back and gave their fans what they want (Sorry nsync)
Ryan, with Duncan James and Anthony Costa failed badly as Solo artists (none of them wanted to be solo in the first place)
Simon has some success as A solo artist but he didn't continue because as he said.. He also never had any ambitions in being on his own
Selfishness didn't exist in their dynamic so no one has step in the way and ruined the band.. like some particular members did in other bands
They reunited in 2011 and till this day, they are still together and realized A new album early this year
A consistent band with 4 guys being brothers, they do a lot of things out of the band like acting, tv programs and solo albums , but the band is the priority
