JC Chasez of ‘N Sync guested on single ‘Plug It In’ from album Kish Kash, ever wish you’d called Justin Timberlake instead?

I think at the time Justin Timberlake had become popular. We wouldn’t have done that because we wouldn’t go for someone who’s a new fashion. We like to be ahead of the fashion or not related to the fashion. Actually, we didn’t plan to use JC Chasez at all. We got a call from him when he was in London and wanted to meet us, but we were busy in the studio. He came down and when he was there, we were working on the ‘Plug It In’ track. And he was like, “Oh, I could sing this”, which he did. We were like, “Wow, that was really good.” We recorded it there and then. After that we were talking to friends and asking if it is really bad to have a guy from ‘N Sync. The thing was, he sounded really good and we really liked his interpretation of the song so we kept it. It was our snobbery really ‘cause we always recorded underground [style], and were scared to use a boy band. It worked out well. [source]
