We keep hearing that fans think this marvelous guy acts crazy, but hold on, not true! Lance is really highly intelligent and he's got a miraculous voice. What's more, he's very charming. Maybe he's a little shy (the other guys from 'Nsync call him "shy guy"), but that just makes him more likable.

Lance, born May 7, 1979, in Laurel Mississippi, figured out his talent very early by playing his dad's piano. At the age of 11 he moved with his family to Clinton, where he became a singer with the "Mississippi Showstoppers." He later joined the famous competition choir "Attache."

But touring with the choir didn't keep Lance from his idea to be an astronaut-in fact, he passed the entrance examination at NASA. then he met a guy named Justin, who had gotten Lance's name from his former vocal coach. Lance flew to Orlando, auditioned and space's loss was music's gain.

Some more facts about Lance-he likes sports link inline skating and weight lifting. His fave musicians are Boyz II Men and Garth Brooks, his fave TV shows are Mad About YOu and Friends. Lance is also an avid collector of everything with the "Tazmanian Devil" on it.

Tons of thanks for not going off to space, Lance-otherwise nobody could enjoy your incredible voice! By the way, you're in space anyways, 'cause 'N Sync's music is from another place!

Sleeping Habits:
Lovable Lance has a harder time settling in at night than his groupmates. "I like putting one leg in and one leg out of the blanket and I'm either hot or cold," the 19-year-old singer says. "And I like a fireplace. I like sleeping in front of it." Lance adds that noise isn't always in the equation for him when it comes to counting sheep. "I can'te stand it whent he TV's on," the blond babe notes. "It always wakes me up. But I like listening to music sometimes. I like real mellow kinds of music, then sometimes total quiet." Another no-no for Lance is light in the room. "No light whatsoever," Lance insists. "My cell phone has the little charger. It has this little itty-bitty light and I can see it when my eyes are closed and it bugs the heck out of me, so I have to have total darkness, unless there's a fireplace."
