Stray Kids Perform *NSYNC Tribute & ‘Chk Chk Boom’ at AMAs 50th Anniversary Special


Stray Kids perform *NSYNC Tribute, 'Chk Chk Boom' at AMAs 50th Anniversary Special.

For the boy band tribute, Stray Kids hit the AMAs stage and delivered the most visually incredible and energetic performance of the night. At the outset of the performance, strings dangled from the ceiling, each one attached to various members’ limbs in homage to *NSYNC’s marionette-inspired 2000 American Music Awards performance of “Bye Bye Bye.” And it wasn’t just a visual reference – the *NSYNC smash hit came blasting over the speakers, with Stray Kids putting their spin on its choreography before singing their own banger, “Chk Chk Boom.” Dressed in black, each member of the South Korean boy band was bursting with energy, attitude and cool, supported by a fleet of backup dancers. Before taking the AMAs 50th Anniversary Special stage, Billboard ’s Tetris Kelly caught up with Stray Kids, who thanked their Stays and paid homage to the boy bands who came before them, including *NSYNC.
