Chris Kirkpatrick , who had missed the cut for the Backstreet Boys, met with Lou Pearlman in to talk about forming a second group. Pearlman said that he would finance the group if Kirkpatrick would find other young male singers.
This prompted Kirkpatrick to call Joey Fatone, a friend he had met while working at Universal Studios. Then, Fatone and Kirkpatrick approached Lou Pearlman for more suggestions. Soon, they decided to even out their sound by recruiting Jason Galasso as their bass singer. After several weeks of rehearsals, the group set up a showcase and began planning to officially sign with Pearlman's Trans Continental Label.
However, at the last minute, Galasso dropped out. He was not fond of the group's musical direction, claiming that being a teen idol was never a goal of his. In need of a bass, the group auditioned several people without success. Timberlake soon called his vocal coach, who suggested a year-old from Mississippi named Lance Bass. Bass flew to Orlando to audition and was immediately accepted into the group. From there, Pearlman set the five boys up in a house in Orlando, Florida, where they rehearsed constantly, learning dance routines and vocal parts, and working on promotion for their first public performance at Pleasure Island on October 22, Pearlman hired Johnny Wright, manager of the Backstreet Boys, to manage the group.
