Brian Harvey from East 17
It's never easy to see the guy you had a crush on 12 years ago, all grown up and looking sooo different. What I really mean is that Brian Harvey from the group East 17 looks a tad chav-like now. He is still active musically with help from Fugees producer Wylcef Jean.
Mark Wahlberg from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch
Before his acting career took off Mark Wahlberg was a rapper fronting the group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. He was young, outspoken and oh so sexy. Known for his stage act which always ended with him stripping down to expose his white Calvin Klein boxers and muscular torso.
Omarion from B2K
It wasn't so long ago that Omarion was seranading us with the high pitched tones of a boy whose voice hasn't broken yet. He's come full circle and has a succesful solo career(as if the world needs another Usher) and regular acting jobs.
JC Chasez
It's tearing u my heart seeing Justin Trousersnake get all the glory. My fav 'Nsync member was always the mysterious blue eyed wonder that is JC.
Jaco Du Plessis from Eden
Don't ask me to sing any of their songs, but I'll gladly come along to an Eden show any day, just to get a peek of Jaco doing those complicated dance moves.
Ronan Keating from Boyzone
He has an endearing Irish charm about him and has emerged as the most succesful member of Boyzone. He's been to SA countless times one would think he is trying to get a green ID.
Nick Carter from The Backstreet Boys
Once you've been certified hot by the Paris the heiress of er...heat, there's no no going back! Nick and the boys are on the road again touring the UK and Japan.
Sisqo from Dru Hill
After years as the face of four-piece band Dru Hill, the pint-sized R&B crooner surprised everyone when his first solo single Thong Song became a hit. Not really my kinda cuppa but he was all the rage at some time... even Samantha Mumba got a sip. He is currently planning a reunion with the other members of Dru Hill.
Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block
Joey joined New Kids on the Block just after his 13th birthday and it seems he's never really done anything else. The kids, now fully grown men, regrouped earlier this year and have been touring Asia where they are still hugely popular. Marks Walhbergs older brother Donnie Wahlberg is also a member and producer.
Ricky Martin from Menudo
Is he or isn't he? That's the question everyone is asking. Well, I'm not really fazed as long as he keeps on shaking that rumpa when he's on stage. Un, dos, tres..Ole, ole, ole!
